The '''Gold Glider''' is an unlockable glider in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. CPU players never use the Gold Glider, along with the [[Gold Standard]], and the [[Gold Tires]], making this glider player-exclusive.
The '''Gold Glider''' is a glider in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It is a gold variant of the [[Super Glider]].

In ''Mario Kart 7'', it highly resembles the [[Super Glider]], except that the Gold Glider has a golden color surrounding it.  It can be unlocked by connecting with 100 people with StreetPass, or by collecting 10,000 [[coin]]s. The Gold Glider does not offer any stat boosts and is therefore a purely aesthetic unlockable. It does, however, slightly increase the kart's gliding distance.

When the Gold Gilder is combined with the [[Gold Tires]] and Gold Standard body, they complete the whole Gold Standard. This [[kart]] gives great speed (the 2nd biggest boost in the game) and good weight, but has a bad acceleration and handling boost, and has the worst off-road in the game.

The Gold Glider returns in ''Mario Kart Tour''. In this version, it is identical in design to the [[Super Glider]], but completely gold. It is classified as a High-End glider. Collecting [[Coin]]s grants more points when using this glider.
The Gold Glider returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a High-End glider, being included in the game since its launch. Similarly to ''Mario Kart 7'', it resembles the Super Glider, only with a gold color scheme. Unlike the Super Glider, this glider provides better chances of obtaining [[Coin]]s from [[Item Box]]es and increases the number of points earned for using Coins from the inventory. What appears to be a voxelized counterpart called the [[Gold 8-Bit Glider]] made its debut in the [[Mario Tour (2023)|2023 Mario Tour]].
 
The Gold Glider is regularly obtainable from pipes, is part of the Daily Selects lineup. The Gold Glider was additionally included in the Daily Spotlight lineup for every tour between the [[Battle Tour]] and the [[Anniversary Tour (2023)|2023 Anniversary Tour]], and later from the [[Autumn Tour (2022)|2023 Autumn Tour]] rerun to the [[Doctor Tour (2023)|2024 Doctor Tour]] rerun. The following table shows the glider's special availability by tour.
