The Roller tires are the smallest tires in the game, and they offer the best acceleration and handling boosts among all the [[kart]] parts. However, they also offer the lowest speed and weight boosts. Despite those flaws the Roller tires strongly excel while underwater however, and their air stats are given a positive boost as well. They are also fairly stable compared to most other tires.

The Roller tires reappear in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Although they are still the smallest tires, they are red with a yellow center, instead of black with a silver center, like in ''Mario Kart 7''. The Roller tires are still available to use right off the bat, but despite this, CPU players will never use them.

Much like in ''Mario Kart 7'', the Roller tires offer the highest acceleration boost of all tires, but their handling boost is much less extreme than before. Fortunately, they don't hinder speed and weight as heavily as in ''Mario Kart 7'', despite still being the slowest and lightest tires in the game. In terms of their hidden stats, the Roller tires have the highest stat total of all the tires in the game.

A variant of the Roller tires called the [[Azure Roller]] tires also appear in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', where they share the same stats as the Roller tires. The [[Button (tire)|Button]] and [[Leaf Tires]] also share the Roller tires' stats, despite having a different appearance.

In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the Roller tires have received slightly different stats which they now exclusively share with the Azure Roller tires. They no longer boost air speed, and their acceleration and [[Mini-Turbo]] stats are slightly lower as well. The only two CPU-controlled characters who uses these tires are [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]] and [[Baby Luigi]]. Ludwig uses these tires alongside the [[Biddybuggy]], while Baby Luigi uses them alongside the [[Mr. Scooty]].

The Roller tires return in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' on several karts, such as the [[Birthday Girl]], [[Birthday Girl Rosalina]], [[Bullet Blaster]], [[Bull's-Eye Banzai (kart)|Bulls-Eye Banzai]], and [[Ribbon Rider]]. On the first four karts on the list, they have their ''Mario Kart 7'' appearance, but with a yellow center like in ''Mario Kart 8''. On the Ribbon Rider, they have their ''Mario Kart 8'' appearance.

The former six karts are equipped with Rollers in their ''Mario Kart 7'' appearance, but with a yellow center like in ''Mario Kart 8''. On the Ribbon Rider, Hot Pot Hot Rod, and Wild Wiggler, the Rollers have a similar design to their ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' appearances.

History[edit]

Mario Kart 7[edit]

The Roller tire, as it appears in Mario Kart 7

The Roller tires debut in Mario Kart 7, available by default. They are the smallest tires in the game, and they offer the best acceleration and handling boosts among all the kart parts. However, they are also the slowest and lightest tires in the game, as well as having very low off-road. Despite these flaws, the Roller tires strongly excel while underwater however, and their air stats are given a positive boost as well. They are also very stable compared to most other tires.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Toadette races at DS Wario Stadium.

The Roller tires reappear in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Although they are still the smallest tires, they are red with a yellow center, instead of black with a silver center, like in Mario Kart 7. The Roller tires are still available to use right off the bat, but despite this, CPUs will never use them.

Much like in Mario Kart 7, the Roller tires offer the highest acceleration boost of all tires, but their handling boost is much less extreme than before. They don't hinder speed and weight as heavily as in Mario Kart 7, despite still being the slowest and lightest tires in the game. In terms of their hidden stats, the Roller tires have the highest stat total of all the tires in the game.

A variant of the Roller tires called the Azure Roller tires also appear in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, where they share the same stats as the Roller tires. The Button and Leaf Tires also share the Roller tires' stats, despite having a different appearance.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Roller tires have received slightly different stats which they now exclusively share with the Azure Roller tires. They no longer boost air speed, and their acceleration and Mini-Turbo stats are slightly lower as well. The only two CPU-controlled characters who use these tires are Ludwig and Baby Luigi. Ludwig uses these tires alongside the Biddybuggy, while Baby Luigi uses them alongside the Mr. Scooty.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The Roller tires return in Mario Kart Tour used by the Birthday Girl, Birthday Girl Rosalina, Bullet Blaster, Bulls-Eye Banzai, Egg 1, Jumbo Jetter, Ribbon Rider, Hot Pot Hot Rod, and the Wild Wiggler. The former six karts are equipped with Rollers in their Mario Kart 7 appearance, but with a yellow center like in Mario Kart 8. On the Ribbon Rider, Hot Pot Hot Rod, and Wild Wiggler, the Rollers have a similar design to their Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe appearances. Golden versions of the Mario Kart 7 tires appear on the Gold Egg.
