History[edit]
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
In Mario Kart 8, the Master Cycle is included in The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8 downloadable content pack. The Master Cycle's biggest strengths are its speed and handling, while its known weakness is its traction. It is the fastest bike in the game and is tied with The Duke for having the highest weight and lowest acceleration of all bikes. The bike is unique in that no other vehicle part in the game shares its stats.
A CPU-controlled Link will occasionally use this vehicle body, paired with the Triforce Tires, and Hylian Kite. The Master Cycle shares its engine sound with the Bone Rattler which is a straight-twin engine.
In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Master Cycle is part of the base game and is randomly unlocked by collecting coins. A CPU The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword-style Link can use this bike body. However, its stats are different, with its only advantage being a small ground speed boost, while its water speed, acceleration, anti-gravity handling, traction, and mini-turbo are hindered. The Master Cycle shares its stats with both the Sneeker and Gold Standard. This version also includes the Master Cycle Zero, a counterpart to the Master Cycle used by Champion's Tunic Link.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
The Master Cycle appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Legend-class Grab-type primary spirit that has two support slots. When used, this spirit increases a fighter's speed in battle. The only way to obtain it is by summoning it with City Tripper, Mach Rider, and Excitebike spirits and an Attack-type core.
