Spear

The Torpedo (also known as Spear in North America) is a large-sized bike in Mario Kart Wii. It looks similar to a torpedo or a blimp converted into a bike with an engine and exhaust pipes. The character's emblem is located on the front of the bike. It is also seen on both sides of it.

The kart counterpart for this bike is the Aero Glider. The Spear can be earned by unlocking 12 expert staff ghosts. This bike is a Jet type vehicle.

Statistics
The Torpedo is the fastest bike in the game, and it also has good weight. However, all its other stats are quite low. It suffers from the worst handling, off-road, and mini-turbo among all bikes and its off-road is equivalent to the Flame Flyer's off-road.

Trivia

 * The Torpedo 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 Phantom. In this case, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Torpedo have their exhaust pipes positioned lower than the others. Also, Rosalina's Torpedo features shorter handles.
