Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Lava Rocks is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. It was introduced in the 2022 Bowser Tour, during which it was the signature glider of Meowser. As the glider's name indicates, it is a variant of the Meteor Balloons with the meteors resembling rocks of magma or lava. Unlike the Meteor Balloons, hitting racers with Lightning grants more points when using this glider.
