Baby Mario Hanafuda
Baby Mario Hanafuda from Mario Kart Tour
Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Baby Mario Hanafuda is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. It is based on the Full Flight, with a thinner frame and a drawing of a Stork holding Baby Mario taken directly from Mario Hanafuda. The glider was added in the 2020 New Year's Tour in January, the month which the suit of the depicted hanafuda corresponds to. The Baby Mario Hanafuda provides better chances of getting Mushrooms from Item Boxes and increases the amount of bonus points awarded for using Mushrooms.

Eleven variants of this glider exist, these being the Yoshi's Egg Hanafuda, Peach Hanafuda, Barrel Hanafuda, Blooper Hanafuda, Cape Mario Hanafuda, Bullet Bill Hanafuda, Boo Hanafuda, Piranha Plant Hanafuda, Goomba Hanafuda, Jumping Mario Hanafuda and Bowser Hanafuda, which are all classified as High-End gliders and were available exclusively through the Gold Pass in their debut tour until later reappearing in the Hanafuda Pipe, the special pipe of the Trick Tour (2021).
