Daisy's Gliders

Gliders are attachments to Mario Kart vehicles that help racers glide over large gaps, activating automatically when a racer rides over a blue boost zone with white chevron arrows. Gliders were first introduced in Mario Kart 7, and would later reappear in Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Tour.

Mario Kart 7
Among the first batch of gliders added to the series, the Flower Glider made its debut in Mario Kart 7. the Flower Glider is an acceleration glider designed to be a daisy flower. It boosts acceleration, whilst decreasing air speed and weight. It has white petals, an orange and green center, and a green stem.

Mario Kart 8
The Flower Glider reappears in Mario Kart 8, with extreme differences. It now has yellow petals and an orange and black center. However, it retains the green stem.


 * Note: It is unknown whether or not these gliders reference Daisy.

Mario Kart Tour


The Flower Glider will make an appearance in Mario Kart Tour. It's design is very similar to the Flower Glider in Mario Kart 8, but there are a few noticeable differences between the two. The petals are now orange and much stiffer. In addition, the stem is thinner.

Mario Kart 7
In Mario Kart 7, Daisy (Along with Rosalina and Honey Queen) received her own colouration of the Peach Parasol.

Mario Kart 8
This Glider later returned in Mario Kart 8, and was shared with Baby Daisy.

Trivia
☀ The Flower Glider is the only glider in the Mario Kart series to receive such a drastic change between iterations. Most other gliders remained the same, or colors were only slightly altered.

☀ While it does not appear outside of the appearances listed above, the Petal Parasol from Animal Crossing bears similarities to the Flower Glider's Mario Kart 7 appearance.
