The Gold Glider is a glider in the Mario Kart series. It is a gold variant of the Super Glider.

History[edit]

Mario Kart 7[edit]

In Mario Kart 7, the Gold Glider can be unlocked by connecting with 100 people with StreetPass, or by collecting 10,000 coins. 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[edit]

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.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The Gold Glider returns in Mario Kart Tour as a High-End glider, being included in the game since its launch. Like in 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 Coins from Item Boxes and increases the number of points earned for using Coins from the item slots. What appears to be a voxelized counterpart called the Gold 8-Bit Glider made its debut in the 2023 Mario Tour.

The Gold Glider is regularly obtainable from pipes and appears in the Daily Selects lineup. The Gold Glider was additionally included in the Daily Spotlight lineup for every tour between the Battle Tour and the 2023 Anniversary Tour, and later from the 2023 Autumn Tour rerun to the 2024 Doctor Tour rerun. The following table shows the glider's special availability by tour.
