The Toe-Bean Balloons in Mario Kart Tour
Appears in	Mario Kart Tour

The Toe-Bean Balloons are a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. They were added in the 2021 Cat Tour and are the signature glider of Cat Peach. In a similar vein to the Cloud Glider and its variants, this glider consists of a pair of pink balloons in the shape of cat paws, with its name coming from a term used for the digital pads of a cat’s paw. The Toe-Bean Balloons increase the chances of getting Mega Mushrooms from Item Boxes and the amount of points earned for crashing other drivers while under the effects of one.

The Bowser vs. DK Tour introduces a black variant of this glider named the Black Toe-Bean Balloons, the New Year's 2022 Tour introduces a gold variant called the Gold Toe-Bean Balloons, and the 2022 Cat Tour introduces a cream-colored variant called the Cream Toe-Bean Balloons. All three are also classified as High-End gliders.
