The '''Blue Falcon''' is a vehicle used by [[kartCaptain Falcon]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)F-Zero|Mario Kart]]''F-Zero'' series]]. modeledIt afterhas [[fzerowiki:Bluealso Falcon|theappeared vehicleas ofa the same name]] used byrecurring [[Captain Falconkart]] in some of the later ''[[fzerowiki:F-ZeroMario (series)|''F-ZeroKart]]'' series]]titles. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the Blue Falcon is based on its design from ''[[fzerowikimh:nintendo:F-Zero X|F-Zero X]]'' and ''[[fzerowikimh:nintendo:F-Zero GX|F-Zero GX]]'', while in ''Mario Kart 8'', it is based on its design from the original ''[[fzerowikimh:nintendo:F-Zero (game)|F-Zero]]''. In ''Mario Kart Wii'', the coloring of [[Baby Mario]]'s Blue Falcon is the same as its namesake and the emblem is located on the hood, two tailfins, and rear. The kart bears less resemblance to the vehicle it is based on in ''Mario Kart Wii'', having four wheels and a battery at the bottom. Its depiction in ''Mario Kart 8'' is more accurate; it now emits flames, which changes color during a mini-turbo drift, instead of exhaust smoke. In ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the emblem is located on the sides of the kart.

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 weight, acceleration, and drift stats are similar to those of the [[Jet Bubble]].

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 (bike)|Comet]], and [[Jet Bike]].
