Banana Wingtip
Banana Wingtip from Mario Kart Tour
Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Banana Wingtip is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. Introduced in the Jungle Tour, it is the signature glider of Funky Kong. It later became the signature glider of Luigi (Vacation) in the Bangkok Tour. It is a glider with the BaNaNa Boy logo emblazoned on the top and yellow wings on each side, with the driver's emblem located on both of them. It also bears a slight resemblance to the Wild Wing's spoiler. The Banana Wingtip increases the chances of getting Bananas from Item Boxes and raises the amount of points awarded for successfully landing hits with them.

A Blooper-themed variant known as the Blooper Wingtip was introduced in the Marine Tour, and two Penguin-themed counterparts known as the Penguin Wingtip and Gold Penguin Wingtip exist in the game. All three gliders share the High-End classification.
