The '''Shooting Star''' (known as the '''Twinkle Star''' in Japanese and British English) is a large [[bike]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It has a [[star]] on the front, a comet trail on its sides and exhaust pipes, and a gray wing on the handlebars. The emblem is located on the very back of the bike. It is unlocked by winning the 100cc [[Star Cup]] or by playing 1,500 races. The Shooting Star is one of seven vehicles in ''Mario Kart Wii'' to go through a design change other than a palette-swap, the others being the [[Booster Seat]], [[Bit Bike]], [[Flame Runner]], [[Wario Bike]], [[Spear]], and [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]]. In this case, the star on the side of [[Rosalina]]'s Shooting Star is larger than on the other characters'. Also, hers does not have a foot rest, as the others do. In a similar manner, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Shooting Stars have their handlebars positioned lower than the other Shooting Stars.

The Shooting Star's [[kart]] counterpart is the [[Honeycoupe]].

The Shooting Star has good speed (which is tied with that of the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]]) and weight (tied with the [[B Dasher Mk. 2|Sprinter]]), along with great drift and [[Mini-Turbo]], which are tied with that of the [[Wild Wing]]. Its mini-turbo is also tied with the [[Booster Seat]]. It has the best drift and mini-turbo of any large class vehicle. On the other hand, its off-road, acceleration (tied with the [[Sneakster]], [[Mini Beast]], and [[Piranha Prowler]]), and handling stats are low, and it is the lightest large vehicle in the game.

The Shooting Star is also the only large vehicle to be lighter than a medium vehicle. In this case, it is lighter than the Wild Wing, a medium kart.

Although the Shooting Star has a good drift and mini-turbo, it is a Drift type bike, which means it drifts outside. In fact, it has the highest speed and drift stat among all the bikes that drift outward as well as being the only outward drifting bike to be faster than all six standard karts and bikes.

''"To a novice racer, the benefits of drifting may be a bit elusive. But once you understand how drifting effectively sets up Mini-Turbos, you'll appreciate how the Shooting Star excels in this important stat category!"''
