The '''Dolphin Dasher''' is an unlockable medium-sized [[bike]] in the game ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is unlocked by winning the [[Mario Kart (series)#Modes of play|Mirror]] [[Star Cup]]. As the name suggests, it resembles the [[Dolphin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. The character's emblem is shown on the bike's belly.  
The '''Dolphin Dasher''' is an unlockable medium Off-Road-type [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|inside drifting]] [[bike]] in the game ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is unlocked by winning the [[Mario Kart (series)#Modes of play|Mirror]] [[Star Cup]] or by playing 3,750 races. The bike is based on the [[Dolphin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Similar to the [[Flame Runner]], its general shape resembles a {{wp|Types of motorcycles|naked bike}}, specifically a {{wp|l=it|Moto Guzzi Griso}}. The character's emblem is shown only on the bike's belly. The tires on this bike feature a "wavy" design also found on the Cheep Charger and [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]]. The rims inside the tires have beach ball-like patterns. These vehicles are all based on aquatic Mario series enemies.


Its [[kart]] counterpart is the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]], which is slightly faster and lighter, making the Dolphin Dasher the only bike heavier than its kart counterpart. The arcade title, ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', features a kart that is similar to the Dolphin Dasher, dubbed the [[Turbo Dolphin]].

The Dolphin Dasher has a great off-road stat, which is tied with that of the large bike [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]]. Unlike the [[Magikruiser]], it loses a little more speed when going off-road. Compared to the [[Zip Zip]], the Dolphin Dasher has more speed and weight, but has less acceleration, handling, drift, off-road, and mini-turbo. It is noted for being the heaviest medium bike in the game, along with having the weakest drifting among all the inside drifting bikes. The Dolphin Dasher shares the same speed and handling stats as the [[Jet Bubble]]. The two vehicles also have the same mini-turbo stat.

The Dolphin Dasher is an unlockable medium Off-Road-type inside drifting bike in the game Mario Kart Wii. It is unlocked by winning the Mirror Star Cup or by playing 3,750 races. The bike is based on the Dolphins from Super Mario World. Similar to the Flame Runner, its general shape resembles a naked bike, specifically a Moto Guzzi Griso. The character's emblem is shown only on the bike's belly. The tires on this bike feature a "wavy" design also found on the Cheep Charger and Super Blooper. The rims inside the tires have beach ball-like patterns. These vehicles are all based on aquatic Mario series enemies.

Its kart counterpart is the Super Blooper, which is slightly faster and lighter, making the Dolphin Dasher the only bike heavier than its kart counterpart. Its small counterpart is the Magikruiser. Mario Kart Arcade GP DX and Mario Kart Tour feature karts similar to the Dolphin Dasher, dubbed the Turbo Dolphin and Dolphin Drifter respectively.

Stats[edit]

Speed: 48/80
Weight: 43/80
Acceleration: 37/80
Handling: 40/80
Drift: 24/80
Off-Road: 56/80
Mini-Turbo: 37/80
Vehicle type:
Hang-on

The Dolphin Dasher has a great off-road stat, which is tied with that of the large bike Phantom (its indirect group counterpart) and the Bit Bike. However, unlike the Magikruiser, it loses some more speed when going off-road. Compared to the Zip Zip, the Dolphin Dasher has more speed and weight, but has less acceleration, handling, drift, off-road, and mini-turbo. It is also noted for being the heaviest medium bike in the game, but suffers from having the worst drifting among all the inside bikes and of all medium bikes. However, its tight cornering helps keep that a minor issue, allowing it to make tight turns. The Dolphin Dasher shares the same speed and handling stats as the Jet Bubble. The two vehicles also have the same mini-turbo stat.

The Dolphin Dasher also features the same weight as the Classic Dragster, and the same speed, acceleration, and handling as the Standard Kart L. It also has the best off-road of all the medium hang-on type bikes, as well as the second best off-road of all the medium bikes and all the hang-on type bikes.

If Daisy rides the Dolphin Dasher, its speed will surpass the Shooting Star's default speed stat by two points, and its mini-turbo will tie with the Phantom's default mini-turbo stat. Also, if Peach rides the Dolphin Dasher, its drift will exceed the Spear's, Tiny Titan's, and Zip Zip's default drift stat by one point.
