The '''Blue Falcon''' is a
==''Mario Kart Wii''==
In ''Mario Kart Wii'', the Blue Falcon appears as a small kart that can be unlocked by winning the [[Lightning Cup]] in [[Mirror Mode]], or by playing 4,200 races. It has great speed; it is the fastest small vehicle in the game. In fact, its speed is equivalent to the [[Flame Runner]]'s. However, the vehicle is rather light and has average drifting and acceleration, but its other stats are rather low. In fact, the Blue Falcon is the only small vehicle to have a Mini-Turbo lower than thirty, unless driven by Baby Daisy, Koopa Troopa, Dry Bones, or the Mii based on their Mini-Turbo bonuses. Its weight is tied with the Standard Kart S. Its acceleration is tied with the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]]. The Blue Falcon's off-road is rather poor; it has the worst off-road performance, handling, and Mini-Turbo out of all small vehicles. Its off-road is tied with the [[Honeycoupe]], the [[Wild Wing]], and the [[Sneakster]]. The Blue Falcon also has the lowest stat total out of any small vehicle in the game, having 249 stat points. Its medium and large counterparts are the [[B Dasher Mk. 2|Sprinter]] and the [[Jetsetter]], respectively.
Its bike counterpart is the [[Jet Bubble]].
Although it is called the Blue Falcon, most characters driving this vehicle have non-blue color schemes; for example, [[Baby Luigi]] has a green Blue Falcon. If Baby Luigi or [[Baby Daisy]] ride the Blue Falcon, it can surpass the Sprinter's and [[Flame Runner]]'s default speed by one point.

The Blue Falcon returns in ''Mario Kart 8'' as one of the vehicles included in [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content pack, as well as one of the three retro vehicle bodies to return in the game along with the [[B Dasher]] and [[Pipe Frame]]. The model is redesigned to look like the original Blue Falcon from ''F-Zero'' for the [[SNES]], complete with flames coming out from the exhaust pipes and an engine noise mimicking that of its original counterpart, and it no longer changes color depending on which character is using it. The tailfins also move when the kart turns. It can also be used by a character of any weight class, as opposed to being exclusive to lightweight characters. Its engine sound is actually a deeper pitched version of the [[Jet Bike]]. The exhaust flames change color when performing a [[Mini-Turbo]].
In terms of its stats, the Blue Falcon's stat distribution is similar to that of the [[Soda Jet]] from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''; it gives a high boost in speed and acceleration as well as an average [[Mini-Turbo]], at the cost of some weight and traction. Also, the Blue Falcon's stats are shared with the [[Streetle]], which is available in the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC pack.
It is one of the several vehicles in ''Mario Kart 8'' to have a supercharged engine, together with [[Mach 8]], [[Sports Coupe]], [[Circuit Special]], [[B Dasher]], [[Badwagon]], [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]], [[Comet]], and [[Jet Bike]].
A [[Stamp]] of the Blue Falcon became available in Version 4.0 of ''Mario Kart 8'', which was released on April 23, 2015.
In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', it can be unlocked randomly by collecting [[coin]]s and now shares stats with the [[Splat Buggy]]. It provides a higher boost to traction, anti-gravity handling, and water handling, while reducing water speed, air speed, acceleration, weight, ground handling, and air handling.
