Jetsetter (Mario Kart Wii)



The Jetsetter, also known as the Aero Glider in PAL regions, is an unlockable large kart in Mario Kart Wii that can be unlocked by earning at least a 1 star rank in all 150cc Retro Cups. Although it's often shunned to the side for being a kart, it still has its good parts.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Unlike the Flame Runner/Bowser Bike, the Jetsetter/Aero Glider isn't overpowered and actually requires skill to use.
 * 2) It has a good weight stat, which allows it to push around lighter vehicles, despite being the lightest large kart in the game.
 * 3) * If used with Bowser, its weight will exceed that of the Wario Bike, Standard Kart L, and Flame Flyer. Similarly, using the vehicle with Donkey Kong or Wario will tie its weight with the three aforementioned vehicles.
 * 4) It's the fastest vehicle in the game, meaning it can easily maintain a lead if used properly.
 * 5) * If used with Funky Kong, Rosalina, or Bowser, they will have the fastest vehicle combos in the game.
 * 6) It isn't too hard to unlock, as the player just has to earn at least a 1 star rank in all 150cc Retro Cups.
 * 7) Its bike counterpart, the Spear/Torpedo, is also fairly balanced despite being an inside drift bike. However, you'll need to unlock 12 Expert Staff Ghosts to unlock that vehicle.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) It has the worst handling, off-road, and mini-turbo stats in the game. However, its terrible handling can be remedied by using this kart on Automatic.
