The Flame Runner (also known as the Bowser Bike in PAL regions), is a large bike which appears in Mario Kart Wii from the Mario Kart series. As the PAL region name suggests, the bike resembles Bowser; the coloring even mirrors Bowser himself. No other vehicles in the game bear physical resemblances to the other playable characters. The kart counterpart for this bike is the Flame Flyer.

Trivia
- The Flame Runner is one of the six vehicles in Mario Kart Wii to go through a design-change other than a palette-swap; the others being the Booster Seat, Wario Bike, Shooting Star, Spear, and Phantom. In this case, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Flame Runner have their exhuast pipes positioned lower than the other bikes. Also, Rosalina's Flame Runner features shorter handles than the other bikes.
