Spear

The Spear (also known as Torpedo in the PAL regions) 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 Jetsetter. The Spear can be earned by unlocking 12 expert staff ghosts.

Stats
The Spear has the best speed 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 Spear is one of six vehicles in Mario Kart Wii to go through a design change other than a palette-swap; the others being the Booster Seat, Flame Runner, Wario Bike, Shooting Star, and Phantom. In this case, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Spear have their exhaust pipes positioned lower than the others. Also, Rosalina's Spear features shorter handles.
