Blue Falcon: Difference between revisions

}}

The '''Blue Falcon''' is a small [[kart]] that first appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', it appears as a kart part in the first downloadable content pack, and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' it is an unlockable kart part. It is modeled after [[fzerowiki:Blue Falcon|the vehicle of the same name]] used by [[Captain Falcon]] in the [[fzerowiki:F-Zero (series)|''F-Zero'' series]]. The Blue Falcon in ''Mario Kart Wii'' is based on its more modern design from ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero X|F-Zero X]]'' on the N64 and ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero GX|F-Zero GX]]'' on the GCN, while the one in ''Mario Kart 8'' is based on its design from the original SNES ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero|F-Zero]]''. In ''Mario Kart Wii'', the coloring of [[Baby Mario]]'s variant is the same as the Blue Falcon the kart is based on 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. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', it can be unlocked randomly by collecting [[coin]]s, as per the other previously DLC-exclusive vehicle parts.
