The '''Flame Flyer''' is a kart from the ''[[Mario Kart]]'' series. The kart's appearance is similar to a 1970 {{wp|Plymouth Barracuda}} due to its front fascia and overall design, its six exhaust pipes (three on each side) and its engine sticking out of its hood that shakes. The kart also features flame motifs and bears the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' trademark name on the tires. The emblem is located on the doors and rear of the kart. Despite that the exhaust pipes are located on the sides of the vehicle, the cloud of exhaust still comes out from the back of the vehicle when the player gets an engine bust.

The Flame Flyer first appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', as a Drift/Mini-Turbo-type kart exclusive to large-sized drivers. It features great speed and weight, along with good drift and [[Mini-Turbo]] performing; it is the fourth fastest vehicle (third fastest kart) in the game, with its speed being tied with that of the [[Sneakster]]. It is also fairly heavy, with its weight being tied with the [[Standard Kart L]] and [[Wario Bike]]; it is the fourth heaviest vehicle in the game, after the [[Honeycoupe]], [[Offroader]], and [[Piranha Prowler]]. However, it suffers from the third worst handling in the game, after the [[Jetsetter]] and [[Spear]], and it is tied with the latter in off-road performance, both having the second worst off-road in the game.

More significantly, the Flame Flyer has the worst acceleration of all vehicles in the game, meaning it starts off very slowly if a [[Rocket Start]] is not performed and recovers slowly if hit by items such as Shells. However, if [[Waluigi]] or Large [[Mii]] uses the Flame Flyer, the acceleration will exceed that of the [[Flame Runner]], as both characters receive an acceleration bonus. Additionally, the acceleration of Waluigi's Flame Flyer will exceed that of the Jetsetter and Wild Wing by one point. And if [[Donkey Kong]] uses the Flame Flyer, the acceleration will almost be the same as the Flame Runner. If [[Bowser]] rides the Flame Flyer, its weight will tie with the [[Offroader]] and its speed also ties with the [[B Dasher Mk. 2|Sprinter]].

The kart's [[bike]] counterpart is the [[Flame Runner]]. Compared to the [[Honeycoupe]] (its group counterpart), the Flame Flyer is faster, but has slightly lower stats in every other stat category. The Flame Flyer shares its engine sound with the [[Mini Beast]] and the [[Wild Wing]] (its respective small and medium counterparts). The exact same sound is recycled for the [[B Dasher]] and [[Bruiser]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.

The Flame Flyer returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses the [[Off-Road]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. However, unlike its ''Mario Kart Wii'' appearance, it only has [[Bowser]]'s color scheme no matter which driver is using it, and its engine no longer shakes. The Flame Flyer increases the duration of [[Rocket Start]] speed boosts and the number of points earned for performing a Rocket Start.
