The '''Dolphin Dasher''' is an unlockable medium [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|inside drifting]] [[bike]] in the game ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is unlocked by winning the [[Mario Kart (series)#Modes of play|Mirror]] [[Star Cup]] or by playing 3,750 races. The bike is based on the [[Dolphin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Similar to the [[Flame Runner]], its general shape resembles a {{wp|Types of motorcycles|naked bike}}, specifically a {{wp|l=it|Moto Guzzi Griso}}. The character's emblem is shown only on the bike's belly. The tires on this bike feature a "wavy" design also found on the Cheep Charger and [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]]. The rims inside the tires have beach ball-like patterns. Coincidentally, these vehicles are all based on aquatic Mario series enemies.
The '''Dolphin Dasher''' is an unlockable medium-sized [[bike]] in the game ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is unlocked by winning the [[Star Cup]] in Mirror Mode. As the name suggests, it resembles the [[Dolphin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. The character's emblem is shown on the bike's belly.  


Its [[kart]] counterpart is the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]], which is slightly faster and lighter, making the Dolphin Dasher the only bike heavier than its kart counterpart. Its small counterpart is the [[Magikruiser]]. ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' feature karts similar to the Dolphin Dasher, dubbed the [[Turbo Dolphin]] and [[Dolphin Drifter]] respectively.

The Dolphin Dasher has a great off-road stat, which is tied with that of the [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]] and the [[Bit Bike]]. However, unlike the [[Magikruiser]], it loses some more speed when going off-road. Compared to the [[Zip Zip]], the Dolphin Dasher has more speed and weight, but has less acceleration, handling, drift, off-road, and mini-turbo. It is also noted for being the heaviest medium bike in the game. The Dolphin Dasher shares the same speed and handling stats as the [[Jet Bubble]]. The two vehicles also have the same mini-turbo stat.
The Dolphin Dasher has a great off-road stat, which is tied with that of the large bike [[Phantom]]. Unlike the [[Magikruiser]], it loses a little more speed when going off-road. Compared to the [[Zip Zip]], the Dolphin Dasher has more speed and weight, but has less acceleration, handling, drift, off-road, and mini-turbo. It is noted for being the heaviest medium bike in the game, along with having the weakest drifting among all the inside drifting bikes. The Dolphin Dasher shares the same speed and handling stats as the [[Jet Bubble]]. The two vehicles also have the same mini-turbo stat.
 
The internal stats reveal that the Dolphin Dasher has the second best turning capability while drifting among the medium bikes, only behind that of the [[Mach Bike]]. However, in the vehicle select menu, the Drift stat is based exclusively on the raw stat without applying the points bonus that is applied to all the other hang-on type bikes, resulting in this bike having a poor Drift stat even though in-game it has a relatively high turning capability while drifting.
 
The Dolphin Dasher also features the same weight as the [[Classic Dragster]], and the same speed, acceleration, and handling as the [[Standard Kart L]]. It also has the best off-road of all the medium hang-on type bikes, as well as the second best off-road of all the medium bikes and all the hang-on type bikes.
 
If Daisy rides the Dolphin Dasher, its speed will surpass the [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]]'s default speed stat by two points, and its mini-turbo will tie with the Phantom's default mini-turbo stat. Also, if Peach rides the Dolphin Dasher, its drift will exceed the [[Spear]]'s, [[Tiny Titan]]'s, and Zip Zip's default drift stat by one point.

==Trivia==
*This is one of the vehicles, along with the [[Classic Dragster]], [[Daytripper]], [[Cheep Charger]], and the [[Honeycoupe]], that has a color scheme based on the traditional colors from the rainbow and it is the only one of those that is a [[Bike|bike]].
*The tires on this bike feature a "wavy" design also found on the Cheep Charger and [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]]. The wheels inside the tires have beach ball-like patterns. These vehicles are all based on aquatic Mario series enemies.
*Mario's Dolphin Dasher has the color scheme of an actual Dolphin from ''Super Mario World''. This is thus the only vehicle not to have a red color scheme for Mario, which is used by Diddy Kong in this case instead of his usual brown. All other drivers have different color schemes of their own.
