Template:Kart-infobox The Bowser Bike (Flame Runner in North America) is a large-sized bike which appears in Mario Kart Wii from the Mario Kart series. As the PAL region name suggests, the bike resembles Bowser; the coloring of the bike even mirrors Bowser himself. No other vehicles in Mario Kart Wii bear physical resemblances to playable characters.

The kart counterpart for this bike is the Flame Flyer.

Statistics

The Bowser Bike has great speed and weight, along with good drifting and mini-turbo. However, the bike suffers from the worst acceleration among all bikes in the game, and its handling and off-road are also rather low.

Trivia

  • The Bowser Bike is one of six vehicles in Mario Kart Wii to go through a design change other than a palette-swap; the others being the Baby Booster, Wario Bike, Twinkle Star, Torpedo, and Phantom. In this case, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Bowser Bike have their exhaust pipes positioned lower than the other bikes. Also, Rosalina's Bowser Bike features shorter handles than the other Bowser Bikes.
