Template:Kart-infobox The Sprinter (known as the B Dasher Mk 2 in the British English and Japanese versions) is a medium-sized kart that appears in Mario Kart Wii and was later added to Mario Kart Tour. Its appearance is based on a modern Formula One car (Mario's color scheme in particular resembling the McLaren MP4/4) and is the successor of the B Dasher from Mario Kart DS. The Circuit Special from Mario Kart 8 greatly resembles the Sprinter. The Dutch version calls it Sprinter 2.0, making it a successor to this kart and the original B Dasher, which is called Sprinter in Dutch.

Mario Kart Wii

The Sprinter features great speed; it is the fastest medium vehicle in the game and the second fastest kart in the game after the Jetsetter. It is also the third fastest vehicle in the game, after the Spear and Jetsetter. Its weight, which is tied with the Shooting Star, is also manageable, and it is the second heaviest medium kart in the game, only to be behind that of the Wild Wing’s. Its drift is about average, but its other stats are rather low, and has the worst handling, off-road, and Mini-Turbo of the medium vehicles. The Sprinter's drift is tied with the Booster Seat. Its off-road and handling tie with that of the Flame Runner for fourth worst handling (behind the Flame Flyer, Spear, and Jetsetter) and fourth worst off-road in the game (behind the Flame Flyer, Spear, and Jetsetter). If Daisy rides the Sprinter, its speed can surpass the Spear's default speed by one point.

The kart can be unlocked by unlocking 24 expert staff ghosts in Time Trials, by winning 3,000 WFC races or by playing 4,650 races. Its bike counterpart is the Sneakster. The emblem is located on the two tailfins and the hood. Its large counterpart is the Jetsetter, while its small counterpart is the Blue Falcon.

Mario Kart Tour

The Sprinter returns in Mario Kart Tour as the B Dasher Mk. 2. It debuted in the Mario Tour and is the signature kart of Mario (Racing). In this game, it uses Mario's color scheme from Mario Kart Wii and does not change if other racers are using it. The B Dasher Mk. 2 retains the kart's original tires from Mario Kart Wii, and increases the duration of Dash Panel boosts and the points earned for performing one.

So far, this is the only kart in Mario Kart Tour to use the British English name as opposed to the American English name.

Trading Card

"The Sprinter is one of the fastest Karts available in the game. Fast? Yes. But can it cut a corner? Not so much. Things have a way of "evening out" in Mario Kart Wii. This Kart exemplifies the pros and cons of the stat bonuses."
