Phantom (bike)

The Phantom is a Bike that appears in Mario Kart Wii. It is only used by large-sized characters.

The Phantom features average speed and mini-turbo. Its best stat is the off-road stat, which rivals that of the Dolphin Dasher. Its handling, weight, and acceleration are also good. However, it has the worst drifting among all the other vehicles in the game.

There are no large karts that share similar stats as this bike; however, its stats are similar to that of the medium bike, the Zip Zip.

The Phantom can be unlocked by winning the finishing in first place in the Mirror Special Cup.

Trivia

 * Donkey Kong drove this bike during the August 2008 1st Competition.
 * It is the only large sized vehicle to have a very decent Off-Road stat.
 * The Phantom 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, Bowser Bike, Wario Bike, Twinkle Star, and Torpedo. In this case, Rosalina's Phantom has its foot pedestals positioned further from the driver, and its center is slightly thinner in appearance.  Also, Bowser's Phantom, as well as Dry Bowser's Phantom, have their handles positioned differently from the other Phantoms.
