Blue Falcon

Toad in his Blue Falcon (Mario Kart Wii)

The Blue Falcon makes its first appearance in Mario Kart Wii as Baby Mario's signature vehicle. This kart does not have any bike counterpart, since other than the weight, acceleration, and drift, the Jet Bubble's stats are too different to be comparable. However, its medium counterpart is the Sprinter and its large counterpart is the Jetsetter.

The Blue Falcon is the fastest small kart in the game and has above average drift, but has average to low stats everywhere else (weight, acceleration, handling, and mini-turbo) with its worst being off-road.
