Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Gold Pipe Frame is a High-End kart in Mario Kart Tour. As its name indicates, this kart is a gold variant of the Pipe Frame; in fact, barring the tires (which are the same as the Gold Blooper's), it is near identical appearance-wise to one of the Pipe Frame's color schemes when used by gold drivers, the Gold Mii Racing Suit, and Mario (King). Unlike the Pipe Frame, this kart raises the duration of Jump Boost speed boosts and the number of points earned for performing Jump Boosts.

The Gold Pipe Frame was introduced as an unlockable vehicle in the Super Mario Kart Tour. However, a gold-coated Pipe Frame had previously been shown in the in-game thumbnail of New York Minute's Coin Rush, sporting the texture of the Gold Tires instead of the normal texture of the Pipe Frame and Gold Pipe Frame's tires. What can be considered a voxelized counterpart to the Gold Pipe Frame called the Gold 8-Bit Pipe Frame was added in the 2023 Mario Tour.

AvailabilityEdit

The Gold Pipe Frame is not obtainable from pipes, and it is not a part of the Daily Selects lineup. However, it was included in the Daily Spotlight lineup for every tour from the Battle Tour to the 2024 Doctor Tour rerun. The following table shows the glider's special availability by tour. The table below shows the kart's availability by tour.
