The '''Wild Wing''' is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It resembles a professional {{wp|Car tuning|tuner}} racecar with an aerodynamic front, an automotive wing featuring feathery wings on the sides of the bar (hence the English name being a pun on automotive wings and biological wings), two pairs of dual exhaust pipes below the rear fender, and tires with five-spoke rims. The Wild Wing shows a two-stripe pattern running along the hood, and the emblem of the character is located on the sides of the kart and the rear. The [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' is the spiritual successor to this kart.

The Wild Wing first appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the last default kart as well as the third kart overall for medium size drivers. Its sleek, aerodynamic body gives it high speed, weight, drift, and mini-turbo. It is the third fastest medium vehicle in the game, after the [[Sneakster]] and the [[Sprinter]], and the second fastest medium kart in the game, after the Sprinter. It is also the sixth fastest vehicle in the game, after the [[Blue Falcon]]/[[Flame Runner]], Sneakster/[[Flame Flyer]], Sprinter, [[Spear]], and [[Jetsetter]]. It is the heaviest medium vehicle in the game (the weight being tied with the [[Wario Bike]]), which means that it is almost impossible for even some large vehicles like the Jetsetter to knock it away. It also has the best drift and mini-turbo stats of all medium karts in the game, the second best drift and mini-turbo stats of all medium vehicles in the game, behind the [[Mach Bike]], the second best drift and mini-turbo stats of all karts in the game, behind the [[Mini Beast]], and the fourth best drift and mini-turbo stats in the game, drift stats behind the Mach Bike/[[Quacker]], Mini Beast, and [[Bullet Bike]], and mini-turbo stats behind the Mach Bike, Mini Beast, and the Bullet Bike. However, its acceleration, handling, and off-road stats are severely low, and it suffers from the worst acceleration of all medium vehicles, and it is tied with the Jetsetter for the third worst acceleration in the game, only behind the Flame Runner and the Flame Flyer.

The Wild Wing has the same off-road and handling stats as the [[Honeycoupe]]. Its off-road is also tied with the Sneakster. Its drift is tied with the [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]]. Its mini-turbo is also tied with the [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]] and also the [[Booster Seat]]. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] ride on the Wild Wing, the kart's weight will exceed the [[Offroader]]'s weight by one point. Additionally, if [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] uses the Wild Wing, the kart's top speed will exceed the Blue Falcon's and Flame Runner's default top speed by one point.

Its [[bike]] counterpart is the [[Mach Bike]]. The Wild Wing along with the Mini Beast and Flame Flyer all share the same engine sound, but the pitch varies with size class. The Mini Beast is its small counterpart, and the Flame Flyer is its large counterpart. The Wild Wing moves its wings when it gets a speed boost. It has the sound of a four-cylinder engine, and this sound is later recycled for the [[B Dasher]] and [[Bruiser]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.

The Wild Wing returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a High-End kart. It uses the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. However, unlike its ''Mario Kart Wii'' appearance, it only has [[Mario]]'s color scheme no matter which driver is using it. The wings also no longer move. The Wild Wing increases the duration of speed boosts resulted from [[Dash Panel]]s and the points earned for using Dash Panels.

The game has three variants of this kart, a Union Jack-themed one called the [[Swift Jack]], a black one called the [[Wild Black]], and Peach's color scheme from ''Mario Kart Wii'' is used for a variant called the [[Wild Pink]]. All three variants are also classified as High-End karts.
