Yellow Hard Hat Balloon

The Yellow Hard Hat Balloon is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. It was introduced in the 2023 New Year's Tour and is the signature glider of Builder Mario. In a similar vein to the Mario's Hat Balloon and Luigi's Hat Balloon, the glider is a balloon that is based on Builder Mario's hardhat, hence the name. Hitting racers while under the effect of a Mega Mushroom awards more points when using this glider.

A gold variant named the Gold Hard Hat Balloon debuts alongside the Yellow Hard Hat Balloon in the 2023 New Year's Tour and is also classified as a High-End glider.
