It offers an acceleration boost, while hindering weight, but like all the other gliders, it allows [[kart]]s to go airborne for a brief time period. It also has the same stats as the [[Flower Glider]], [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]], and the [[Swooper (glider)|Swooper]]. |

| The '''Parafoil''' (known as the '''Paraglider''' in the American English version of ''Mario Kart 7'') is a [[glider]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. | |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the Paraglider is known as the '''Parafoil'''. It offers identical stats as in ''Mario Kart 7''. The colors of the glider are slightly different however: it features a white center with yellow, pink, and blue colors and it lacks the Emblem of the driver. Unlike ''Mario Kart 7'', it is available from the start. |
| ===''Mario Kart 7''===
| |
| The Paraglider first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as an unlockable glider part. It offers an acceleration boost, while hindering weight. It also has the same stats as the [[Swooper (glider)|Swooper]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''=== | | ==Stat boosts== |
| In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Paraglider returns, now known as the Parafoil in the American version. The Parafoil offers identical stats to its counterpart in ''Mario Kart 7''. The colors of the glider are slightly different however: it features a white center with yellow, pink, and blue colors and it lacks the emblem of the driver. Unlike in ''Mario Kart 7'', it is available from the start. A variant of the Parafoil is called the [[MKTV Parafoil]]. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', CPU [[Mario]] and [[Pauline]] use this glider whenever they ride the [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]], [[Toad]], [[Diddy Kong]], and the babies use it while riding the [[Pipe Frame]], [[Toadette]], [[Baby Peach]], and [[Peachette]] use it while riding the [[Teddy Buggy]], and [[Dry Bones]], [[Koopa Troopa]], and [[Wiggler]] use it with the [[Steel Driver]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Kart Tour''===
| |
| The Parafoil returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a Normal glider. It uses the same design seen in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. The Parafoil provides better chances of getting [[Green Shell]]s from [[Item Box]]es and increases the number of points earned for landing hits with Green Shells.
| |
| | |
| The game introduces nine variants of the glider: the [[BBIA Parafoil]], [[Piranha Plant Parafoil]], [[Bob-omb Parafoil]], [[BaNaNa Parafoil]], [[? Block (glider)|? Block]], [[Soaring Jack]], [[Luma Parafoil]], [[Luigi Parafoil]], and [[Mario Bros. Parafoil]], as well as six counterparts known as the [[Calico Parafoil]], [[Tanooki Parafoil]], [[Gold Tanooki Parafoil]], [[Black Cat Parafoil]], [[Cat Parafoil]], and [[Green Cat Parafoil]].
