Trivia

- Its name is most likely a reference to the controls of the side-scrolling NES games - the player presses and holds the B button to dash.
- The Sprinter, a kart from Mario Kart Wii, is known as the B Dasher Mk. 2 in PAL regions, apparently making it the Mario Kart DS kart's successor. It appears as an unlockable by unlocking 24 Expert Staff Ghosts in Time Trials.
