Variants Pink Magniflying Glass

The Magniflying Glass is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. It was introduced in the 2022 Doctor Tour and is the signature glider of Dr. Mario. As the glider's name suggests, it resembles a magnifying glass with artwork of the red, blue, and yellow viruses with their art style from Dr. Mario World visible through the looking glass. "Magniflying" is a portmanteau of the words "fly" and "magnifying". The Magniflying Glass improves the chances of getting Bullet Bills from Item Boxes and increases the number of points earned for hitting other drivers while under the effects of a Bullet Bill.

A pink variant of this glider, simply called the Pink Magniflying Glass, debuted in the May 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour.
