Template:Kart-infobox The Twinkle Star (known as the Shooting Star in North America) is a bike that appears in Mario Kart Wii. It can only be used by large characters. It has a star on the front and a comet trail on its sides and exhaust pipes. It must first be unlocked by winning the 100cc Star Cup. It bears a resemblance to the Shooting Star kart from Mario Kart DS.
The Twinkle Star has a good speed and weight, with a nice Drift and Mini-Turbo, which are tied with that of the Wild Wing. It has the best drift and mini-turbo of any large class vehicle. On the other hand, its Off-Road, Acceleration, and Handling stats are quite low, and it is the lightest large vehicle in the game. The Twinkle Star shares its stats with the Honeycoupe.
Although the Shooting Star has a good drift and mini-turbo, it drifts externally instead of internally.
