Parachute (glider)

The Parachute is a glider that appears in the Mario Kart series. It has stripes of several different colors.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
The Parachute first appears in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It offers an acceleration stat boost but lowers the weight stat. It shares its stats with the Cloud Glider, Peach Parasol, Bowser Kite, Parafoil, MKTV Parafoil, and Hylian Kite. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a CPU Breath of the Wild-style Link uses this glider with the Flame Rider bike and Monster tires, while a CPU Lakitu uses it with the Biddybuggy.

Mario Kart Tour
The Parachute returns in Mario Kart Tour, classified as a Normal glider. It has been redesigned, this time featuring a rainbow-colored color scheme. Hitting racers with Bloopers grants more points when using this glider.

The game introduces four variants of the glider: the Shell Parachute, Royal Parachute, Fireworks Parachute, and Bullet Bill Parachute. While the former is classified as a Super glider, the latter three are classified as High-End gliders.
