The bike's most standout features are shared with all bikes--[[Rex Wheelie]], [[Wheelie Scooter]], and [[King Dedede (Air Ride)|King Dedede]]. Since it relies on a wheel to propel itself, it does not float above the ground as stars do. This renders it more susceptible to ground hazards such as the magma in [[Magma Flows]] or the snow in [[Frozen Hillside]], decelerating and messing with its handling more than it would stars.

As with all bikes, it does not [[glide]] in the typical sense, but instead jumps. That is, it gains a sudden increase of speed when going airborne, but cannot steer or alter its trajectory to the point almost all stars can. | ||
