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
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]], [[
A [[Stamp]] of the Blue Falcon became available in Version 4.0 of ''Mario Kart 8'', which was released on April 23, 2015.
