The '''B Dasher''' is a [[kart]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It is a long, skinny, white kart with a red stripe along the front and a massive engine block with four large exhaust pipes. The emblem is located on the hood. It appears on the box art of ''Mario Kart DS'', and it resembles a classic 1960s Formula 1 car. It is the first vehicle in the series to have a racing car design, a feature that has become a staple in subsequent games. Its name is most likely a reference to the controls of the side-scrolling platform games, in which the player presses and holds the B button to dash. The {{button|snes|B}} button on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] is also used for acceleration in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. | The '''B Dasher''' is a [[kart]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', there is a kart called the [[B Dasher Mk. 2]] (Sprinter in its North American version, which is the B Dasher's Dutch name), which makes it the B Dasher's successor. The [[Circuit Special]] is another successor of the B Dasher, as it is called "Sprinter 2.0" in Dutch, and could possibly be a successor of the B Dasher Mk. 2 from ''Mario Kart Wii'' as well. The [[Zucchini]] is similar in design to the B Dasher, but with a very different paint job. | In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', there is a kart called the [[B Dasher Mk. 2]] (Sprinter in its North American version, which is the B Dasher's Dutch name), which makes it the B Dasher's successor.

The B Dasher reappears in ''Mario Kart 7'' as an unlockable vehicle and is noticeably more powerful than in ''Mario Kart DS''. It features a speed and handling boost, but its acceleration and off-road stats are hindered during the process. In fact, the B Dasher is tied with the [[Blue Seven]] and [[Bolt Buggy]] for having the lowest acceleration of all kart bodies. However, it is tied with the Blue Seven, [[Bruiser]], and [[Zucchini]] for having the highest speed of all kart bodies and is the fastest kart body to have a positive handling boost and to not have a negative impact on the air speed stat, though it is also the fastest kart body of the four to affect off-road negatively. | The B Dasher reappears in ''Mario Kart 7'' as an unlockable vehicle and is noticeably more powerful than in ''Mario Kart DS''.

The B Dasher once again returns in ''Mario Kart 8'' as part of the first downloadable content pack, [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']]. It uses the same exact stats as the [[Mach 8]], [[Sports Coupe]], [[Circuit Special]], [[Gold Standard]], and [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]]. The design remains unchanged, aside from the engine being larger and more visible within the exhausts. Normally, it does not possess headlights, but it will gain headlights if racing on a track with dark areas, located between the front wheels and body. Its sound suggests that it is possibly powered by a four-cylinder engine. The B Dasher has a noticeable difference in that the exhaust noise is louder and more audible compared to others. It additionally shares the same engine sound with the P-Wing, resembling that of a DOHC {{wp|V8 engine}}. | The B Dasher once again returns in ''Mario Kart 8'' as part of the first downloadable content pack, [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']].

The acceleration, handling, and mini-turbo are worsened, while the traction is slightly better than before. The B Dasher now only shares its stats with the Circuit Special and P-Wing. A CPU [[Mario]] and [[Pauline]] are occasionally seen using this body paired with the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires. | ||
