Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Dolphin Drifter is a High-End kart in Mario Kart Tour. It was introduced in the Vacation Tour and is the signature kart of Rosalina (Swimwear). As its name indicates, the kart is based on a Dolphin with jet engines on each of its pectoral fins and a floaty on its tail. Its design is similar to the Dolphin Dasher from Mario Kart Wii and the Turbo Dolphin from Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. The kart uses a color-inverted version of the Cheep Snorkel's tires and the emblem is located on both jet engines. The Dolphin Drifter increases the duration of Jump Boosts and the number of points earned for performing a Jump Boost. It was the final new kart to debut in Tour without receiving any variants.
