Just like the real Bullet Bill, the Bullet Bike has a sleek and rounded body, with a dulled point up front. There's no grille or headlights, just two glaring eyes and chugging arms on either side, the key components of the ammunition enemy. The top of the bike has an opening for the racer to be seated, with a small glass panel bolted right above the steering wheel. As the back of the Bullet Bike narrows out, decked in varying stripes (see color schemes below), two thrusters protrude to give it added speed capabilities. A compartment is right behind the seat, and a tiny antenna sticks out near the back of the ride. The vehicle is able to drive thanks to two wheels coming out slots in the bottom of the bullet/frame.

Statistics[]
The Bullet Bike, being a lightweight vehicle, suffers immensely in the weight stat. Unlike most other lightweight vehicles, however, it has great speed, making it the fastest bike in the Small class. It also has the largest mini-turbo stat in the game and the sharpest drifting of all vehicles in the game thanks to its high drifting stat and inside drifting mode. For being a speed-oriented bike, it has all-around stats like handling, acceleration, and off-road superior to middleweight or heavyweight speed vehicles. It is overall the fastest lightweight vehicle on-road and is good for intermediate players who want a light bike.
With the exception of GCN Waluigi Stadium, which it has due to a glitch, the Bullet Bike holds no world records nor regional records in Time Trials due to its low top speed compared to vehicles like the Sneakster (its Medium counterpart), Spear (its Heavy counterpart), Mach Bike, and Flame Runner, though it has once held a record in GBA Bowser Castle 3. It is most successful on courses where the Mach Bike bests the Flame Runner, such as SNES Mario Circuit 3, but the speed disadvantage holds it back when up against the Mach Bike.
There's no representative emblem of the character using this bike anywhere on the body, making it the only vehicle to lack one in Mario Kart Wii.
If combined with Toad, this bike can have the highest Drift statistic in the game. Using Koopa Troopa or Dry Bones will achieve the highest Mini-Turbo boost out of the whole game. This makes the Bullet Bike the only vehicle in the game to hold 2 of the best stats.
Also, if Dry Bones drives the Bullet Bike, its front will resemble the actual color scheme that the real Bullet Bill has.
Baby Daisy, Koopa Troopa, and the Male and Female Miis are the only characters whose Bullet Bikes' rears are not colored white, those instead being colored dull yellow, yellow, red, and green, respectively.
Official toy of the movie's Bullet Bike.
In the Super Mario Bros. Movie, multiple Koopa Troopas can be seen riding bikes that greatly resemble the Bullet Bike during the Rainbow Road scene.
