Quacker
Template:Kart-infobox The Quacker is a small bike that appears in Mario Kart Wii. The vehicle is in the shape of a duck toy with exhaust pipes that resemble duck wings.
The bike's kart counterpart is the Cheep Charger. The two vehicles also share the apparent children's toy-design theme and are based on a type of animal which swims.
Toad's Quacker makes a cameo appearance as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Stats
The Quacker has the best acceleration in the game. It also has decent handling and drifting. However, the bike itself has fairly low speed and is also the lightest vehicle in the game, which makes it very easy for heavier vehicles to push it around an edge or grass. It is unlocked by winning the 150cc Star Cup. The Quacker has the same speed stat as the Sugarscoot and the same drift stat as the Mach Bike, both of which are medium sized vehicles. The Quacker also has the same off-road stat as the Daytripper.

Toad + Quacker | Wii Mario Kart Wii (04/2008) | Though its appearance calls to mind an infant's toy, the Quacker is really a fully functional motorbike with some serious acceleration. That's because its frame is so light, you might expect it to float on the water like a swan boat! But that lightness also makes it easy for other karts to push around, so try to stay out of trouble. | Despite just looking like a child's plaything, the Quacker is a fully-functional motorbike with serious acceleration and a frame so light you'd think it'd be able to float on water like a swan boat! That lightness makes it easy for other karts to push it around, though, so avoid drawing attention to yourself as you slip by your rivals. |
