Template:Kart-infobox The Sprinter (also known as the B Dasher Mk. 2 in the PAL regions and Japan) is a medium-sized kart that appears in Mario Kart Wii. Its appearance is based on a modern Formula One car and is the successor of the B Dasher from Mario Kart DS. The kart can be unlocked by unlocking 24 expert staff ghosts in Time Trials or by winning 3,000 WFC races. Its bike counterpart is the Sneakster.

There is a kart in Mario Kart 8 called the Circuit Special, which greatly resembles the Sprinter. The Dutch version calls it Sprinter 2.0, making it a successor to this kart though it could also be a successor to the original B Dasher, since it is called Sprinter in Dutch.

Stats
