The Wario Wing is a glider from the Mario Kart series. It is a counterpart to the Super Glider with an image of Wario's eyes, nose, and mustache placed on a standard glider with a yellow/purple design and a zigzag edge.

History

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

The Wario Wing first appears in Mario Kart 8 as an unlockable glider. Similarly to the Super Glider, Waddle Wing, Plane Glider, Gold Glider, and Paper Glider, the glider doesn't give any special boosts or stats; however, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it slightly boosts weight while slightly lowering traction.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a CPU Wario and Waluigi occasionally use this glider during races. In this game, the Wario Wing instead only shares stats with the Gold Glider and Paraglider.

Mario Kart Tour

The Wario Wing returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Super glider. This glider provides better chances of getting Bullet Bills from Item Boxes and increases the points earned for hitting racers while under the effects of a Bullet Bill.

Three variants of the Wario Wing appear in this game: a Waluigi-themed variant called the Waluigi Wing, a spider web-themed variant called the Spider Glider, and an outer space-themed variant called the Planet Glider. The Waluigi Wing also has the Super classification, while the latter two gliders have the High-End classification.
