The Twinkle Star (known as the Shooting Star in North America) is a bike that appears in Mario Kart Wii. It can only be used by large characters. It has a star on the front and a comet trail on its sides and exhaust pipes. It must first be unlocked by winning the 100cc Star Cup. It bears a resemblance to the Shooting Star kart from Mario Kart DS.

The Twinkle Star has a good speed and weight, with a nice Drift and Mini-Turbo, which are tied with that of the Wild Wing. It has the best drift and mini-turbo of any large class vehicle. On the other hand, its Off-Road, Acceleration, and Handling stats are quite low, and it is the lightest large vehicle in the game. The Twinkle Star shares its stats with the Honeycoupe.

Although the Shooting Star has a good drift and mini-turbo, it drifts externally instead of internally (the Bullet Bike, Mach Bike, and Flame Runner have an internal drift), which can make it harder to control its drifting for some people, whereas making it easier for others.

Trivia

  • The Shooting Star is the only vehicle other than the Booster Seat in Mario Kart Wii to go through a design change other than a palette-swap. In this case, the star on the side of Rosalina's shooting star is larger than on the other Shooting Stars. Also, Rosalina's does not have a foot rest, as the others do.
  • The Shooting Star has a grey wing on the handle bars.
  • The Shooting Star is the only bike with a very high drift rating that actually drifts externally.
  • The Twinkle Star's Acceleration is tied with that of the Piranha Prowler.
  • Wario used this bike in the May 2008 1st competition.
