Template:Kart-infobox The Shooting Star (known as the Twinkle Star in Europe) is a large bike that appears in Mario Kart Wii. It has a star on the front, a comet trail on its sides and exhaust pipes, and a gray wing on the handle bars. It is unlocked by winning the 100cc Star Cup.
The Twinkle Star's kart counterpart is the Honeycoupe.
Statistics
The Twinkle Star has good speed and weight along with great drift and mini-turbo, which are tied with that of the Wild Wing. It has the best drift and mini-turbo of any large class vehicle. On the other hand, its off-road, acceleration, and handling stats are low, and it is the lightest large vehicle in the game.
Although the Shooting Star has a good drift and mini-turbo, it drifts externally. In fact, it has the highest drift stat among all the bikes that drift outward.
