The '''Quacker''' is a small [[bike]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The vehicle is in the shape of a duck toy with exhaust pipes that resemble duck wings.
The '''Quacker''' is a small Acceleration-type [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|inside drifting]] [[bike]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The vehicle is visually based on the appearance of a duck-themed child's training toilet<ref>''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Japanese trophy description</ref> with exhaust pipes located in the duck's wings. The [[emblem]] is located on the back and on the collar.


The bike's [[kart]] counterpart is the [[Cheep Charger]].  The two vehicles also share the apparent children's toy-design theme and are based on a type of animal which swims.
The bike's [[kart]] counterpart is the [[Cheep Charger]].  The two vehicles also share the apparent children's toy-design theme and are based on a type of swimming animal. The [[Mr. Scooty]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' appears to be a thematic successor, albeit as an [[Standard bike (vehicle class)|outside drift bike]].


[[Toad|Toad's]] Quacker makes a cameo appearance as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.
The Quacker has the best acceleration in the game, making it recover from items such as [[Banana]]s and [[Shell]]s almost immediately. It also has great handling, drifting, and mini-turbo, and decent offroad. However, the bike itself has quite low speed (being the third slowest vehicle in the game) and is also the lightest vehicle in the game, which makes it very easy for heavier vehicles to push it off an edge or onto grass, and it has the highest jump angle out of any vehicle in the game. Also, it only drifts on normal off-road terrain when combined with [[Toadette]]. It is the slowest inward drifting bike in the game, but has the best handling of the inward drifting bikes. It is unlocked by winning the 150cc Star Cup, or by playing 2,400 races. The Quacker has the same speed stat as the [[Sugarscoot]], the same drift stat as the [[Mach Bike]], and the same off-road stat as the [[Daytripper]], all of which are medium sized vehicles. It is one of three vehicles to combine high handling and drifting (the other two being the [[Classic Dragster]] and Cheep Charger); the two are usually negatively correlated. The Quacker has the highest stat total out of any vehicle in the game, with 343 stat points.


==Stats==
If [[Toad]] uses the Quacker, it has the best acceleration in the game and its drift surpasses that of the Bullet Bike by one point. Also, if [[Baby Peach]] uses the Quacker, it will have the highest stat total out of any character-vehicle combination in the game, with 358 stat points. In addition, if [[Baby Luigi]] or [[Baby Daisy]] ride the Quacker, its speed will tie with the [[Wario Bike]]'s default speed.

The Quacker has the best acceleration in the game. It also has decent handling and drifting. However, the bike itself has fairly low speed and is also the lightest vehicle in the game, which makes it very easy for heavier vehicles to push it around an edge or grass. It is unlocked by winning the 150cc Star Cup, or by playing 2,400 races. The Quacker has the same speed stat as the [[Sugarscoot]] and the same drift stat as the [[Mach Bike]], both of which are medium sized vehicles. The Quacker also has the same off-road stat as the [[Daytripper]]. [[Toad]]'s Quacker has the best Acceleration in the game.

Appears in Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (trophy cameo)

The Quacker is a small Acceleration-type inside drifting bike that appears in Mario Kart Wii. The vehicle is visually based on the appearance of a duck-themed child's training toilet[1] with exhaust pipes located in the duck's wings. The emblem is located on the back and on the collar.

The bike's kart counterpart is the Cheep Charger. The two vehicles also share the apparent children's toy-design theme and are based on a type of swimming animal. The Mr. Scooty from Mario Kart 8 appears to be a thematic successor, albeit as an outside drift bike.

The Quacker has the best acceleration in the game, making it recover from items such as Bananas and Shells almost immediately. It also has great handling, drifting, and mini-turbo, and decent offroad. However, the bike itself has quite low speed (being the third slowest vehicle in the game) and is also the lightest vehicle in the game, which makes it very easy for heavier vehicles to push it off an edge or onto grass, and it has the highest jump angle out of any vehicle in the game. Also, it only drifts on normal off-road terrain when combined with Toadette. It is the slowest inward drifting bike in the game, but has the best handling of the inward drifting bikes. It is unlocked by winning the 150cc Star Cup, or by playing 2,400 races. The Quacker has the same speed stat as the Sugarscoot, the same drift stat as the Mach Bike, and the same off-road stat as the Daytripper, all of which are medium sized vehicles. It is one of three vehicles to combine high handling and drifting (the other two being the Classic Dragster and Cheep Charger); the two are usually negatively correlated. The Quacker has the highest stat total out of any vehicle in the game, with 343 stat points.

If Toad uses the Quacker, it has the best acceleration in the game and its drift surpasses that of the Bullet Bike by one point. Also, if Baby Peach uses the Quacker, it will have the highest stat total out of any character-vehicle combination in the game, with 358 stat points. In addition, if Baby Luigi or Baby Daisy ride the Quacker, its speed will tie with the Wario Bike's default speed.
