The '''Blue Falcon''' is a smallvehicle used by [[kartCaptain Falcon]] thatin firstthe appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]F-Zero|''. In F-Zero''[[Mario Kart 8series]]'',. itIt appearshas also appeared as a recurring [[kart part]] in thesome firstof downloadablethe content pack, and inlater ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' it is an unlockable kart parttitles. It is modeled afterIn ''[[fzerowiki:BlueMario Falcon|theKart vehicle of the same nameWii]] used by [[Captain Falcon]] in the [[fzerowiki:F-Zero (series)|''F-Zero'', series]]. Thethe Blue Falcon in ''Mario Kart Wii'' is based on its more modern design from ''[[fzerowikimh:nintendo:F-Zero X|F-Zero X]]'' on the N64 and ''[[fzerowikimh:nintendo:F-Zero GX|F-Zero GX]]'' on the GCN, while the one in ''Mario Kart 8'', it is based on its design from the original SNES ''[[fzerowikimh:nintendo:F-Zero (game)|F-Zero]]''. In ''Mario Kart Wii'', the coloring of [[Baby Mario]]'s variantBlue Falcon is the same as theits Blue Falcon the kart is based onnamesake 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.
 
The Blue Falcon can be unlocked in ''Mario Kart Wii'' by winning the [[Lightning Cup]] in [[Mirror Mode]], or by playing 4,200 races. Its bike counterpart is the [[Jet Bubble]]. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', it can be unlocked randomly by collecting [[coin]]s, as per the other previously DLC-exclusive vehicle parts.
 
==''Mario Kart Wii''==
TheIn ''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.

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 (bike)|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.
