Phantom (bike)
Template:Kart-infobox The Phantom is a large bike that appears in Mario Kart Wii.
The bike does not feature a kart counterpart. In fact, no other kart has stats similar to this bike's stats, but the Phantom's stats are similar to that of the medium-sized Zip Zip bike. The Phantom can be unlocked by winning the Mirror Special Cup.
Stats
The Phantom features average Mini-Turbo. Its best stat is the off-road stat, which is the same as that of the Dolphin Dasher. Its handling, weight, speed, and acceleration are also good. However, the bike suffers from the worst drifting in the game and drifts outwards, making it difficult for beginners to control the bike. This is unusual, as bikes have better drift than karts. Compared to the Zip Zip, it has higher top speed and weight, slightly worse handling, acceleration, offroad, miniturbo and drift.

Trivia
- Donkey Kong drove this bike during the first August 2008 tournament.
- The Phantom is one of six vehicles in Mario Kart Wii to go through a design change other than a palette-swap, the others being the Booster Seat, Flame Runner, Wario Bike, Shooting Star, and Spear. In this case, Rosalina's Phantom has its foot pedestals positioned further, and its center is slightly thinner in appearance. Also, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Phantom have their handles positioned differently from the other Phantoms.
- The Phantom has the same speed stat as the Magikruiser, and the same weight stat as the Wild Wing.
