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.

History

Mario Kart 7

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.

Color schemes

• Daisy - Orange
• Rosalina - Blue
• Honey Queen - Purple
• All other characters - Pink

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

The Peach Parasol returns in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and is now less transparent and adorned with a royal pattern on the white line and the shaft is now brown instead of tan. The same color changes apply like the previous game, but only when using Daisy, Rosalina, and their baby versions. The glider has the same stats as it does in Mario Kart 7, and it shares its stats with the Cloud Glider, Parachute, Parafoil, Bowser Kite, MKTV Parafoil and Hylian Kite.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Peach and Cat Peach use this glider with the Prancer kart body.

Color schemes

• Daisy and Baby Daisy - Orange
• Rosalina and Baby Rosalina - Turquoise
• All other characters - Pink

Mario Kart Tour

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.

Trivia

• Germany is the only country where this glider is referred to simply as the Parasol without Peach's name.
• The Netherlands is the only country where this glider has two different names between the games, even though they both translate into English as Peach's Parasol.
