A glider is a customization feature used in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8. Its main purpose is to allow the player to float safely across gaps or though tracks. Gliders only affect the weight and acceleration stat, along with the hidden air speed and air handling stat.
History
Mario Kart 7
Gliders first appear in Mario Kart 7. They may affect the weight or acceleration, or even the air speed and air handling. If players brake or get hit with an item while gliding, they cancel their glider.
All tracks in the game, excluding Rosalina's Ice World, N64 Luigi Raceway, and SNES Rainbow Road, utilize the glider.
