The Flame Flyer first appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', as a kart exclusive to large-sized drivers. It features great speed and weight, along with good drift and [[Mini-Turbo]] performing; it is the fourth fastest vehicle (third fastest kart) in the game, with its speed being tied with that of the [[Sneakster]]. It is also fairly heavy, with its weight being tied with the [[Standard Kart L]] and [[Wario Bike]]; it is the fourth heaviest vehicle in the game, after the [[Honeycoupe]], [[Offroader]], and [[Piranha Prowler]]. However, it suffers from the third worst handling in the game, after the [[Jetsetter]] and [[Spear]], and it is tied with the latter in off-road performance, both having the second worst off-road in the game.

Additionally, the Flame Flyer has the worst acceleration of all vehicles in the game, meaning it starts off very slowly if a [[Rocket Start]] isn't performed. However, if [[Waluigi]] or Large [[Mii]] uses the Flame Flyer, the acceleration will exceed that of the [[Flame Runner]], as both characters receive an acceleration bonus. And if [[Donkey Kong]] uses the Flame Flyer, the acceleration will almost be the same as the Flame Runner. If [[Bowser]] rides the Flame Flyer, its weight will tie with the [[Offroader]] and its speed also ties with the [[B Dasher Mk. 2|Sprinter]].

The kart's [[bike]] counterpart is the [[Flame Runner]]. Compared to the [[Honeycoupe]], the Flame Flyer is faster, but is slightly lighter and has worse drifting and [[Mini-Turbo]]. The Flame Flyer shares its engine sound with the [[Mini Beast]] and the [[Wild Wing]]. The exact same sound is recycled for [[B Dasher]] and [[Bruiser]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.

The Flame Flyer returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses the [[Off-Road]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. However, unlike its ''Mario Kart Wii'' appearance, it only has [[Bowser]]'s color scheme no matter which driver is using it. The engine also no longer shakes. The Flame Flyer extends the duration of [[Rocket Start]] speed boosts and raises the number of points earned for performing a Rocket Start.

The game also introduces three High-End variants: a white and pink variant named the [[Wildfire Flyer]], that was first made available in the [[Winter Tour (2019)|2019 Winter Tour]], a red, white and blue variant called the [[Star-Spangled Flyer]] that first appeared in the [[Los Angeles Tour (2020)|2020 Los Angeles Tour]], and a black and orange variant called the [[Inferno Flyer]]which debuted in the [[Bowser vs. DK Tour]].

"''It's a muscle car revival! Who can deny the awesome presence of a blower popping out of the hood? The Flame Flyer packs very high levels for Speed and Weight, with lower levels for Acceleration and Handling stats.''"
