The '''Sprinter''' (also known as the '''B Dasher Mk. 2''' in the PAL regions and Japan) is a medium-sized [[kart]] that appears in the game ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Its appearance is based on a [[wikipedia:Formula One car|Formula One car]] and is the successor of the [[B Dasher]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The kart can be unlocked by unlocking 24 expert staff ghosts in Time Trials or by winning 3,000 WFC races. Its [[bike]] counterpart is the [[Sneakster]].
The '''B Dasher Mk. 2''', originally known as the '''Sprinter''' in American English, is a [[kart]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Its appearance is based on a {{wp|Formula One car}} likely from between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s ([[Mario]]'s color scheme in particular resembling the 1988 {{wp|McLaren MP4/4}}), and it is the successor of the [[B Dasher]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The emblem is located on both sides of the spoiler and the hood. The [[Circuit Special]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' greatly resembles the B Dasher Mk. 2, and its Dutch name, Sprinter 2.0, implies that it is a successor to both this kart and the original B Dasher, which is called Sprinter in Dutch.

{{mkwiistat
===''Mario Kart Wii''===
The Sprinter, known as '''B Dasher Mk 2''' in the British English version, first appears in ''Mario Kart Wii'' as a medium-sized Speed-type kart. It features great speed; it is the fastest medium vehicle in the game and the second fastest kart in the game after the [[Jetsetter]]. It is also the third fastest vehicle in the game, after the [[Spear]] and the Jetsetter. Its weight, which is tied with the [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]], is slightly above average, and it is the second heaviest medium kart in the game, only to be behind that of the [[Wild Wing]]’s. Its drift is about average, but its other stats are rather low, and it has the worst handling, off-road, and Mini-Turbo of the medium vehicles. The Sprinter's drift is tied with the [[Booster Seat]], and its acceleration is tied with the [[Honeycoupe]]. Its off-road and handling tie with that of the [[Flame Runner]] for fourth worst handling (behind the [[Flame Flyer]], Spear, and Jetsetter) and fourth worst off-road in the game (behind  the Flame Flyer, Spear, and Jetsetter).
 
The kart can be unlocked by unlocking 24 expert staff ghosts in Time Trials, by winning 3,000 WFC races or by playing 4,650 races; as such, it is most likely to be among the final vehicles unlocked. The Sprinter’s [[bike]] counterpart is the [[Sneakster]], its large counterpart is the [[Jetsetter]], and its small counterpart is the [[Blue Falcon]]. The Sprinter also has the lowest stat total out of any medium vehicle in the game, having only 245 stat points.
 
If [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] rides the Sprinter, its speed can surpass the [[Spear]]'s default speed by one point, which will make it the second fastest vehicle in the game. Also, if [[Peach]] rides the Sprinter, its acceleration will tie with the [[Bullet Bike]]'s default acceleration stat.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The Sprinter returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', now called the B Dasher Mk. 2 as its sole English name. It is a tour-exclusive High-End kart debuting in the [[Mario Tour (2021)|2021 Mario Tour]] as the signature kart of [[Mario|Mario (Racing)]]; it later became the signature kart of Mario (Golf) during the [[Piranha Plant Tour]]. Unlike before, it is only equipped with Mario's color scheme no matter which driver is using it. The B Dasher Mk. 2 retains its original tires, although they now have the ''Mario Kart'' logo on them. It increases the duration of [[Dash Panel]] speed boosts and the number of points earned for using Dash Panels.
 
This is the only kart in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to use the original British English name in its English version as opposed to the original American English name.
 
The game also introduces eight variants of this kart, some of which use color schemes from ''Mario Kart Wii'': the [[Red B Dasher Mk. 2]], [[Pink B Dasher Mk. 2]] (Peach's color scheme), [[Classic B Dasher Mk. 2]], [[Sky-Blue B Dasher Mk. 2]], [[Metal B Dasher Mk. 2]], [[Cream B Dasher Mk. 2]] (Female Mii's color scheme), [[Green B Dasher Mk. 2]] (Bowser Jr.'s color scheme), and [[Black B Dasher Mk. 2]]. The first seven karts all debuted in the [[2nd Anniversary Tour]], while the Black B Dasher Mk. 2 debuted in the [[Anniversary Tour (2023)|2023 Anniversary Tour]]. All variants share the High-End classification.
 
Starting with the [[Battle Tour]], the B Dasher Mk. 2 is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe. However, it is not currently a part of the Daily Selects. The table below shows the kart's availability by tour.

The Sprinter is one of the fastest vehicles in the game. Its weight, which is tied with the [[Shooting Star (Mario Kart Wii)|Shooting Star]], is also manageable. Its drift is about average, but its other stats are rather low.
====Trading Card information====
[[File:MKW Sprinter Trading Card.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Trading Card]]
''The Sprinter is one of the fastest Karts available in the game. Fast? Yes. But can it cut a corner? Not so much. Things have a way of "evening out" in Mario Kart Wii. This Kart exemplifies the pros and cons of the stat bonuses.''

==Trivia==
*This kart is a successor of the [[B Dasher]]. It doesn't show in the American English name, but it does in the original Japanese version, where it was called ''B Dash Mk. 2''. It directly refers to the original ''B Dasher'' and the ''Mk. 2'' shows that this kart is its successor.
**This kart is also called ''B Dasher Mk. 2'' in European and Australian English.
**The assumption that this is an improved version of the ''B Dasher'' is supported by the fact that the ''Sprinter'' resembles a modern [[Wikipedia:Formula_One_car|Formula]], whereas the ''B Dasher'' resembles an older type of Formula used between 1960 and 1980.
**The European French and European Spanish names of this kart also show that this kart is the successor of the ''B Dasher''. The American French name is even exactly the same as the original ''B Dasher's'' French name.
**Both ''Mario Kart DS'' and [[Mario Kart Wii|Wii]] weren't translated to Dutch, but when ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' got a Dutch translation, this kart's American name, the ''Sprinter'', became the Dutch name of the original ''B Dasher''.
*The name ''B Dasher'', is most likely a reference to the controls of the side-scrolling [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Game Boy]] games - the player presses and holds the B button to dash.
*The Sprinter is the only medium-sized vehicle having speed surpassing that of the [[Flame Flyer]].
*The Sprinter is the only vehicle in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' with a speed stat higher than 60 that is used as a normal Time Trial staff ghost. It is used by [[Luigi]] on the [[Luigi Circuit]] course.
