Trivia

• The Flame Flyer has the same weight and Mini-Turbo as the Wario Bike. Like-Wise, it also has the same weight as the Standard Kart L.
• Despite the fact that the exhaust pipes are located on the sides of the vehicle, when the player gets off to a bad start, the cloud of exhaust still comes out the back of the vehicle. Though, it's probably just something the programmers missed.
• Before the release of Mario Kart Wii, Donkey Kong was seen firing red shells off of this kart. Interestingly, he did the same with the Rambi Rider before the release of Mario Kart DS.
