This article is about the glider part from Mario Kart 7. For the bat enemy, see Swoop.

Template:Kart-infobox The Swooper (known as the Swoop in the British English version) is an unlockable glider part in Mario Kart 7. As its name states, the Swooper is shaped like the Swoop enemy. Just like the Paraglider, Peach Parasol and Flower Glider, it offers an acceleration boost, while hindering weight, but like all the other gliders, it allows karts to go airborne for a brief time period.

It returns in Mario Kart Tour where it is classified as a High-End glider. A gold version also exists in the game, simply named the Gold Swooper, which shares the same High-End classification. Players that use this glider will receive more points upon hitting other racers with Bob-ombs.

  • Mario Kart Tour Twitter: "Ever notice how well the Dark Clown kart and Swooper glider go together? The purple color scheme and dark shades make these two a perfect match."[1] (The image mistakenly shows the Wicked Wings instead of the Swooper.)
