Flame Runner

The Bowser Bike (Flame Runner in North America) is a large-sized bike which appears in Mario Kart Wii from the Mario Kart series. As the PAL region name suggests, the bike resembles Bowser; the coloring of Koopa King's Bowser Bike even mirrors Bowser himself. No other vehicles in Mario Kart Wii bear physical resemblances to playable characters.

The Bowser Bike has great speed and weight, along with good drifting and a good mini-turbo. However, the bike suffers from the worst acceleration of all bikes, and its handling and off-road are also rather low. The kart counterpart for this bike is the Flame Flyer.
