Phantom (bike)

The Phantom is a large bike that appears in Mario Kart Wii.

The bike does not feature a kart counterpart. In fact, no other kart has stats similar to this bike's stats, but the Phantom's stats are similar to that of the medium-sized Zip Zip bike. The Phantom can be unlocked by winning the Mirror Special Cup.

Statistics
The Phantom features average Mini-Turbo. Its best stat is the off-road stat, which rivals that of the Dolphin Dasher. Its handling, weight, speed, and acceleration are also good. However, the bike suffers from the worst drifting in the game and drifts outwards, making it difficult for beginners to control the bike. This is unusual, as bikes have better drift then karts.
