The '''Jetsetter''' (known as the '''Aero Glider''' in British English, or a '''Speeder''' in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'') is a [[kart]] that appears in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, debuting in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It resembles a late 90's {{wp|Le Mans Prototype}} racecar (the {{wp|Ferrari 333 SP}} in particular) and the body has a similar design to the [[Streamliner]], but has more of a rectangular shape as opposed to the Streamliner's wedge-shaped body. The [[B Dasher Mk. 2|Sprinter]] (its rough equivalent in middle-sized vehicles) is also very similar to the Jetsetter in shape, though the Sprinter is more clearly modeled on Formula 1 racecars. The Jetsetter features a three-pointed nose with the middle point shorter and thicker. It has blue wheels, a rear fin and a single dual exhaust port in the back. The emblem is located on the hood and sides of the kart.


The '''Aero Glider''', also known as '''Jetsetter''' in North America, is a [[kart]] found in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''; it can only be utilized by large characters. The Jetsetter resembles a Le Mans Prototype race car and the body has a similar design to the [[Streamliner]], but has more of a rectangular shape as opposed to the Streamliner's wedge-shaped body.

[[File:Wario Gold Mine MKW screenshot.png|thumb|[[Wario]] using his Jetsetter on [[Wario's Gold Mine]]]]
The Jetsetter, or Aero Glider, is a large Speed-type [[kart]]. The kart is unlocked by receiving a one star rank or better in all 150cc Retro Cups or by playing 4,500 races.  


The [[Sprinter]] (its rough equivalent in middleweight vehicles) is also very similar to the Jetsetter in shape, though the Sprinter is more clearly modeled on Formula 1 racers. The Jetsetter has a three-pointed nose with the middle point is shorter and fatter than the points that have the headlights.  It has blue wheels, a rear fin and a single dual exhaust port in the back.  
The Jetsetter is the fastest vehicle in the game. It also has good weight, but is actually the lightest large kart in the game. However, all of the Jetsetter's other stats are severely low; it is notable in that it has the worst handling, off-road, and [[Mini-Turbo]] stats in the game, as well as the lowest stat total of all vehicles overall with 222 stat points. It also has the third worst drift among the karts, behind the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]] and [[Offroader]]. It has the third worst acceleration overall (tied with the [[Wild Wing]]) and the second worst acceleration for any kart in the entire game, only being surpassed by the [[Flame Runner]] and [[Flame Flyer]].


The Jetsetter has a very high speed, and is in fact the fastest vehicle in the game.  It also has good weight. Unfortunately, all of its other stats are severely low. It shares the same general stats with the [[Spear]].
Additionally, [[Funky Kong]]'s Jetsetter has the best speed stat in the game, but still has the lowest stat total out of any character-vehicle combination in the game, with 229 stat points (one stat point below the Spear's default stat total, which is 230 stat points). Unless someone with an off-road bonus drives the Jetsetter, it will be incapable of drifting on any type of off-road terrain.  


The Jetsetter is unlocked in single player by scoring 1 star or better in all the 150cc Retro Cups.
The [[Spear]], [[B Dasher Mk. 2|Sprinter]], and [[Blue Falcon]] share similar stat distributions with the Jetsetter. The Jetsetter is the only vehicle in the game to have a stat higher than 67 without stat bonuses (its speed is 69).

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

The Jetsetter, or Aero Glider, is a large Speed-type kart. The kart is unlocked by receiving a one star rank or better in all 150cc Retro Cups or by playing 4,500 races.

The Jetsetter is the fastest vehicle in the game. It also has good weight, but is actually the lightest large kart in the game. However, all of the Jetsetter's other stats are severely low; it is notable in that it has the worst handling, off-road, and Mini-Turbo stats in the game, as well as the lowest stat total of all vehicles overall with 222 stat points. It also has the third worst drift among the karts, behind the Super Blooper and Offroader. It has the third worst acceleration overall (tied with the Wild Wing) and the second worst acceleration for any kart in the entire game, only being surpassed by the Flame Runner and Flame Flyer.

Additionally, Funky Kong's Jetsetter has the best speed stat in the game, but still has the lowest stat total out of any character-vehicle combination in the game, with 229 stat points (one stat point below the Spear's default stat total, which is 230 stat points). Unless someone with an off-road bonus drives the Jetsetter, it will be incapable of drifting on any type of off-road terrain.

The Spear, Sprinter, and Blue Falcon share similar stat distributions with the Jetsetter. The Jetsetter is the only vehicle in the game to have a stat higher than 67 without stat bonuses (its speed is 69).
