“Fans of theMario Kart Wii game may recognize the Wild Wing! Its red paint job just screamsMario!”

—Lakitu,Mario Kart Tour News Vol. 3: Where did Lakitu go?^[1]

TheWild Wing is akart in theMario Kart series. It resembles a professionaltuner 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. Its rear lights resemble those of theToyota Supra A80. The Wild Wing shows a two-stripe pattern running along the hood, and the emblem of the character is located on the doors and the rear. TheP-Wing fromMario Kart 8 is the spiritual successor to this kart.

History[edit]

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

The Wild Wing first appears inMario Kart Wii as the last default kart as well as the third kart overall for medium size drivers. Its sleek, aerodynamic body gives it great speed, weight, drift, and mini-turbo. It is the third fastest medium vehicle in the game, after theSneakster and theSprinter, and the second fastest medium kart in the game, after the Sprinter. It is also the eighth fastest vehicle in the game, after theBlue Falcon,Flame Runner, Sneakster,Flame Flyer, Sprinter,Spear, andJetsetter. It is also the heaviest medium-sized vehicle in the game (the weight being tied with thePhantom), which means that it is difficult 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 theMach Bike, the second best drift and mini-turbo stats of all karts in the game, behind theMini Beast, and the fifth best drift and fourth best mini-turbo stats in the game, drift stats behind the Mach Bike,Quacker, Mini Beast, andBullet 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.

The Wild Wing has the same off-road and handling stats as theBlue Falcon and theHoneycoupe. Its off-road is also tied with the Sneakster. Its drift is tied with theShooting Star. Its mini-turbo is also tied with theShooting Star and theBooster Seat. Its acceleration is tied with theJetsetter. IfDaisy uses the Wild Wing, the kart's top speed will exceed the Blue Falcon's and Flame Runner's default speed by one point. Similarly, if a medium Mii uses the Wild Wing, the kart's speed will tie with the Blue Falcon's and Flame Runner's default speed.

Its bike counterpart is theMach Bike. The Mini Beast is its small counterpart, and the Flame Flyer is its large counterpart. These three vehicles all share the same engine sound, but the pitch varies with size class. The Wild Wing moves its wings when it gets a speed boost. It has the sound of a four-cylinder engine sourced from aHonda Civic Type R, and this sound is later recycled for theB Dasher andBruiser inMario Kart 7.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The Wild Wing returns inMario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a High-End kart. It uses theStandard tires fromMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe. However, unlike itsMario Kart Wii appearance, it only hasMario's color scheme no matter which driver is using it, and its wings no longer move. The Wild Wing increases the duration of speed boosts resulted fromDash Panels and the points earned for using Dash Panels.

The game has four variants of this kart, a Union Jack-themed one called theSwift Jack, a black one called theWild Black, Peach's color scheme fromMario Kart Wii is used for a variant called theWild Pink and a gold and blue one called theWild Gold. All four variants are also classified as High-End karts.

Introduced to the game in the2019 Winter Tour, the Wild Wing has appeared in the First Pipe and Second Pipe of each tour since. However, it is not currently a part of the Daily Selects set. The table below lists other availabilities for the Wild Wing by tour.
