The Ship's Wheel is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. It debuted in the September 2021 Sydney Tour and later became the signature glider of Builder Luigi in the Singapore Tour. As its name indicates, it is a glider that resembles a ship's wheel with a Lightning emblem at the center, similar to the Lightning Oilpaper. Striking other drivers with Lightning grants more points when using this glider. Uniquely, the glider spins while in use.
