The '''Dolphin Dasher''' is an unlockable medium [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|inside drifting]] [[bike]] in the game ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is unlocked by winning the [[Mario Kart (series)#Modes of play|Mirror]] [[Star Cup]] or by playing 3,750 races. The bike is based on the [[Dolphin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Similar to the [[Flame Runner]], its general shape resembles a {{wp|Types of motorcycles|naked bike}}, specifically a {{wp|l=it|Moto Guzzi Griso}}. The character's emblem is shown only on the bike's belly. The tires on this bike feature a "wavy" design also found on the Cheep Charger and [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]]. The rims inside the tires have beach ball-like patterns. Coincidentally, these vehicles are all based on aquatic Mario series enemies.

Its [[kart]] counterpart is the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]], which is slightly faster and lighter, making the Dolphin Dasher the only bike heavier than its kart counterpart. Its small counterpart is the [[Magikruiser]]. ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' feature karts similar to the Dolphin Dasher, dubbed the [[Turbo Dolphin]] and [[Dolphin Drifter]] respectively.

The Dolphin Dasher has a great off-road stat, which is tied with that of the [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]] and the [[Bit Bike]]. However, unlike the [[Magikruiser]], it loses some more speed when going off-road. Compared to the [[Zip Zip]], the Dolphin Dasher has more speed and weight, but has less acceleration, handling, drift, off-road, and mini-turbo. It is also noted for being the heaviest medium bike in the game. The Dolphin Dasher shares the same speed and handling stats as the [[Jet Bubble]]. The two vehicles also have the same mini-turbo stat.

 

The Dolphin Dasher also features the same weight as the [[Classic Dragster]], and the same speed, acceleration, and handling as the [[Standard Kart L]]. It also has the best off-road of all the medium hang-on type bikes, as well as the second best off-road of all the medium bikes and all the hang-on type bikes.

 

If Daisy rides the Dolphin Dasher, its speed will surpass the [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]]'s default speed stat by two points, and its mini-turbo will tie with the Phantom's default mini-turbo stat. Also, if Peach rides the Dolphin Dasher, its drift will exceed the [[Spear]]'s, [[Tiny Titan]]'s, and Zip Zip's default drift stat by one point.
