Flame Flyer

The Flame Flyer is a large-sized kart that appears in Mario Kart Wii. Its bike counterpart is the Flame Runner.

This kart's appearance is similar to a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge or a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda because it has six exhaust pipes (three on each side) and features an engine sticking out of its hood. The kart also features flame motifs.

Statistics
The Flame Flyer kart features great speed and weight; in fact, it is one of the fastest and heaviest vehicles, along with good drift and mini-turbo performing. However, it suffers from poor handling and is tied with the Spear in off-road performance, both having the second worst off-road in the game. Additionally, it has the worst acceleration in the game.
