Smiley Flower Glider

Smiley Flower Glider
The Smiley Flower Glider in Mario Kart Tour
Type	Glider
Associated object	Smiley Flower
Appears in	Mario Kart Tour

The Smiley Flower Glider is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour that debuted in the 2023 Yoshi Tour. Despite what its name may indicate, it is not a variant of the Flower Glider and is directly based off a Smiley Flower from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, even moving like it does in that game. This glider provides higher chances of getting Bananas from Item Boxes and increases the number of bonus points earned for hitting other drivers with Bananas.
