The '''Gold Glider''' is a glider in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It is a gold variant of the [[Super Glider]].

==History==
===''Mario Kart 7''===
In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', the Gold Glider can be unlocked by connecting with 100 people with StreetPass, or by collecting 10,000 [[coin]]s. It does not offer any stat boosts and is therefore a purely aesthetic unlockable. It does, however, slightly increase the kart's gliding distance.

When the Gold Gilder is combined with the [[Gold Tires]] and Gold Standard body, they complete the whole Gold Standard. This [[kart]] gives great speed (the 2nd biggest boost in the game) and good weight, but has a bad acceleration and handling boost, and has the worst off-road in the game.

CPUs never use the Gold Glider, along with the [[Gold Standard]], and the [[Gold Tires]], making this glider player-exclusive.

===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
The Gold Glider returns as an unlockable glider in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. Instead of being entirely gold, the cloth is now black, and the game logo's "8", surrounded by a wreath of olive leaves, appears in place of the character's emblem, like the [[Gold Standard]]. Like in the previous game, it is unlocked by collecting 10,000 coins (halved to 5,000 coins in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''), and it does not offer any stat boosts. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', it now offers a slight boost to weight and anti-gravity speed while slightly lowering traction; its stats are now identical to the [[Wario Wing]], [[Plane Glider]], and [[Paraglider (The Legend of Zelda)|Paraglider]].

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The Gold Glider returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a High-End glider. Similarly to ''Mario Kart 7'', it resembles the Super Glider, only with a gold color scheme. Unlike the Super Glider, this glider provides better chances of obtaining [[Coin]]s from [[Item Box]]es and increases the number of points earned from them.

The Gold Glider appears in the First, Second, and All-Clear Pipes of every tour and is part of the base Daily Selects set. The following table shows the glider's additional availability by tour.
