In 2020, a new line of karts with gliders launched alongside the original line. These models feature a grip situated on the back part of the car that normal models do not have. As of April 2022, there is a total of 22 characters (29 counting recolors but not the Yoshi Egg Series) and 12 karts in different combinations.

Karts
Available mostly as single packs released in wave series of between 5 and 8 characters. Most series feature 2 to 3 new characters or vehicles along with repeats of previous releases.

These exclusives came packaged in a black blind box with a case and a Rainbow Road background motif. The standard content was a Silver Mario + Silver Standard Kart + Silver Glider, but there was a 1-in-10 chance of getting a Gold version. These models have never been made commercially available.
