Shooting Star (bike): Difference between revisions

The '''Shooting Star''' (known as the '''Twinkle Star''' in Japanese and British English) is a large [[bike]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It resembles a [[wikipedia:Scooter (motorcycle)|motorized scooter]], specifically a [[wikipedia:Suzuki Burgman|Suzuki Burgman]]. It has a [[star]] on the front, a comet trail on its sides and exhaust pipes, and a gray wing on the handlebars. The emblem is located on the very back of the bike. It is unlocked by winning the 100cc [[Star Cup]] or by playing 1,500 races. The Shooting Star is one of seven vehicles in ''Mario Kart Wii'' to go through a design change other than a palette-swap, the others being the [[Booster Seat]], [[Bit Bike]], [[Flame Runner]], [[Wario Bike]], [[Spear]], and [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]]. In this case, the star on the side of [[Rosalina]]'s Shooting Star is larger than on the other characters'. Also, hers does not have a foot rest, as the others do. In a similar manner, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Shooting Stars have their handlebars positioned lower than the other Shooting Stars.
