Glider

A glider is a customization feature used in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8. Its main purpose is to allow the player to float safely across gaps or though tracks. Gliders affect only the weight stat.

Gliders first appear in Mario Kart 7. They affect the weight, as usual. If players are hit with an item while gliding, they cancel the glider. File:Superglider.png|Super Glider File:MK7 Gold Glider.png|Gold Glider
