History
Mario Kart DS
The B-Dasher appears as the main kart in Mario Kart DS. It is seen being driven by Mario in the Mario Kart DS box art.
Mario Kart 7
The B Dasher reappears in Mario Kart 7 as one of the selectable kart frames. It features a speed and handling boost, but its acceleration and off-road stats are hindered during the process. CPU Mario is also more likely to be seen driving on this body.
Mario Kart 8
The B Dasher once again returns in Mario Kart 8 as part of the first downloadable content pack, The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8.[1] It shares the same exact stats with the Mach 8, Sports Coupe, Circuit Special, and Gold Standard.

- In Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, Mario's original kart resembles a stylized form of the B Dasher.
- The B Dasher's tailpipe design seems to be the inspiration for the tailpipe designs of the Standard Karts S/M/L from Mario Kart Wii.
- The B Dasher's name in Dutch is Sprinter, a reference to the Sprinter (B Dasher Mk 2 in PAL regions and Japan) from Mario Kart Wii.
- The Circuit Special in Mario Kart 8 is called Sprinter 2.0 in Dutch, further making it a successor to both karts.
