The Peach Parasol is a glider introduced in Mario Kart 7. As its name states, it is a pink umbrella which has its design inspired by Princess Peach. It offers a small acceleration boost, while hindering the weight stat. Like all the other gliders, it allows karts to go airborne for a brief time period.
The Peach Parasol makes its first appearance in Mario Kart 7. Like the Birthday Girl, its color only changes when it is used by Daisy, Rosalina and Honey Queen. All the other characters use Peach's personal pink parasol. It gives a small boost to acceleration but makes the kart slightly lighter. It has the same stats as the Flower Glider. Unlike the Birthday Girl, male or indeterminate-gender computer racers can use this glider.
The Peach Parasol returns in Mario Kart Tour. In this appearance, it only uses the default pink color scheme, no matter which racer is using it. It is classified as a Super glider. Hitting other racers with Red Shells yields more points when using this glider. An icy blue variant called the Blizzard Parasol is introduced in the Ice Tour.
