'''Bikes''' or '''motorcycles'''{{ref needed}} are vehicles used mainly in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], alongside [[kart]]s and [[All-Terrain Vehicle|ATV]]s. They come in many different styles and have features that set them apart from normal karts. They first appeared in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and returned in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. | '''Bikes''' or '''motorcycles'''{{ref needed}} are vehicles used mainly in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], alongside [[kart]]s and [[All-Terrain Vehicle|ATV]]s.

While bikes do not appear as a class of vehicles in ''Mario Kart DS'', one of [[Waluigi]]'s special [[kart]]s, the [[Zipper (kart)|Zipper]], is a tricycle. Also, [[R.O.B.]]'s [[ROB-LGS]] has three wheels and therefore can also be considered a tricycle. | While bikes do not appear as a class of vehicles in ''Mario Kart DS'', one of [[Waluigi]]'s special [[kart]]s, the [[Zipper (kart)|Zipper]], is a tricycle.

Bikes first make an appearance in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The game is the first ''Mario'' racing game in which the characters could race in a non-kart vehicle. [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], and [[Rosalina]] wear jumpsuits if riding a bike, as it would be difficult to ride a bike while wearing a dress like when they are driving karts without having their trains (loose, hanging parts forming the backs of their skirts) getting caught in the wheels. | Bikes first make an appearance in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

The basic model of the bike for all characters is the [[Standard Bike]], a motocross motorcycle showing the emblem of the character over the plate of the front and the sides of the rear. The color of a standard bike also changes, matching the character's custom color. These bikes are the only available to use in Battle modes along with the [[Standard Kart]]s. These bikes appear to be based on the bikes in [[wikipedia:Excitebike|Excitebike]]. | The basic model of the bike for all characters is the [[Standard Bike]], a motocross motorcycle showing the emblem of the character over the plate of the front and the sides of the rear.

Additionally, the [[Bit Bike]] has a design difference that's only seen when the player is using a small-sized Mii; the Bit Bike's exhaust pipes are positioned lower for the small-sized Miis, than for the other small-sized characters. | Additionally, the [[Bit Bike]] has a design difference that's only seen when the player is using a small-sized Mii; the Bit Bike's exhaust pipes are positioned lower for the small-sized Miis, than for the other small-sized characters. | ||

All bikes differ from karts in many ways. While driving a bike, characters are able to perform [[wheelie]]s, which boost the player's speed temporarily. If a bike is rammed into while doing a wheelie, the player will lose speed and have to accelerate again. Also, bikes only emit blue sparks when [[drift]]ing and release a small mini-turbo, thus making them unable to emit yellow sparks for powerful mini-turbos. Statwise, bikes have slightly lower speed and much lower weight compared to karts, but excel in every other stat (acceleration, handling, drift, off-road and Mini-Turbo). Additionally, bikes have six [[trick]] variants while karts only have three. | |||
In terms of gameplay, bikes are divided into [[Standard bike (vehicle class)|drift type (「ドリフトタイプ」) bikes]],<ref name="JapaneseDriftType">[http://www.21010.net/club/bn/wii/rmcj/pdf/p014_015.pdf Page 14 and 15 of the Nintendo Official Guidebook of ''Mario Kart Wii'']. Retrieved April 27, 2018.</ref> that are able to drift and are commonly referred to as outside drifting bikes or outward drifting bikes, and [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|hang-on type (「ハングオンタイプ」) bikes]],<ref name="JapaneseDriftType"/> that commit to the turn instead of drifting and are commonly referred to as inside drifting bikes or inward drifting bikes due to their significantly different lines when they commit to the turn. | |||

After their absence in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Bikes return in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' with the ability to go underwater, use gliders, and utilize anti-gravity. Also, in this installment, just like the karts, bikes are able to perform a [[Mini Turbo|Super Mini-Turbo]] and the bikers only perform wheelies during the boosts obtained via a Mushroom, a [[Dash Panel]], a [[Trick]], or a [[Rocket Start]], unlike in ''Mario Kart Wii''. As with karts, the bikes in this game can be customized with different bodies, wheels and gliders. Both drift type bikes, now known as '''[[Standard bike (vehicle class)#Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|standard bike]]s''', and hang-on type bikes, now known as '''[[Sport bike (vehicle class)#Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|sport bike]]s''', return and they again respectively drift or commit to the turn when the player attempts to drift with them.<ref>Musa, Alexander (May 30, 2014). "''There are actually two sub-categories of bike: standard and sport. Standard bikes drift similarly to every other body type. Sport bikes more or less commit to the turn during a drift, sharply cutting in the direction of the turn.''" ''Mario Kart 8'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 28. ''Prima Games''. Retrieved December 22, 2017.</ref> Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina retain their alternate jumpsuits from ''Mario Kart Wii''. [[Pink Gold Peach]], [[Pauline]], and [[Peachette]] also wear jumpsuits while riding bikes. | |||

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Peach creates a bike resembling the [[Mach Bike]] at the [[Donkey Kong Island|Jungle Kingdom]]. She uses it to traverse the [[secret passage]] and the [[Rainbow Road]]. After [[Mario]] and [[Donkey Kong]] are incapacitated by the [[Koopa General]]'s explosion, she uses her bike to return to the Mushroom Kingdom and warn the [[Toad (species)|Toads]] of [[Bowser]]'s arrival. | |||
