The '''Shooting Star''' (known as the '''Twinkle Star''' in Japanese and British English) is a large Drift/Mini-Turbo-type [[Standard bike (vehicle class)|outside drifting]] [[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.

The Shooting Star is also the only large vehicle to be lighter than a medium vehicle. In this case, it is lighter than the Wild Wing, a medium kart.

Although the Shooting Star has a good drift and mini-turbo, it is a Drift type bike, which means it drifts outside. In fact, it has the highest speed and drift stat among all the bikes that drift outward as well as being the only outward drifting bike to be faster than all six standard karts and bikes.

Compared to the Flame Runner (its group counterpart), the Shooting Star is slower and lighter, but does slightly better in every other stat. As opposed to inside drift, it has outside drift.

If Waluigi rides the Shooting Star, it will tie with the Mini Beast's default drift stat. Also, if Donkey Kong, Rosalina, or a Large Mii rides the Shooting Star, it will tie with the [[Mach Bike]]'s default mini-turbo stat. In addition, if Wario or Dry Bowser ride the Shooting Star, its mini-turbo will exceed the Mini Beast's default mini-turbo stat by one point.
