So yes, this thing's speed is incredible, second best in the game. And it pretty much IS the best in the game since it's a bike, therefore it can wheelie to increase its speed. Its weight is also very good, letting it knock other vehicles around. To balance these two strong qualities are out, they made most of this thing's stats pretty bad, but acceleration isn't super important due to SSMTs, handling is hardly anything at all, and off-road is only important in specific cases, though Mini-Turbo is somewhat significant. So, why do I hate this thing? Well, there's one teensy-weensy, itty-bitty catch...
THIS. THING. CAN'T. TAKE. TURNS.
Seriously! The drift stat at 29 already sounds QUITE bad, but it's EVEN WORSE. Internally, this thing's drift if almost as bad as the PHANTOM. MANY turns in MANY of the tracks are either super hard, incredibly finnicky, or just outright IMPOSSIBLE for the Spear to take. This just truly makes you wonder if Nintendo even bothered to properly playtest this game, or if they just decided "yeah, just make a clearly defined meta and make every other vehicle utter shit." (Although this isn't official, this is also a HUGE problem for custom tracks; most of them only care about Flame Runner or Mach Bike, so playing any other vehicle is just asking for trouble.) Unlike certain outside drift vehicles with bad drift (like the Phantom), where manipulating outside drift physics can make it slightly easier to take a turn, there's little to no way to manipulate the inside drift physics for turning, so if you're running into a wall? Nope, you can't correct yourself, you're running INTO that wall. "Oh, but the Dolphin Dasher has a worse drift stat! Surely THAT's worse, right?" No. The visual drift stat is a LIE. Its actual drift stat is good.
So, would you rather have a vehicle that has a slight edge in speed at the cost of HORRENDOUS turning, or a vehicle with slightly less speed than that, but good turning? ...Yeah, I"m sure as fuck not picking the first option, thank you very much.
