Every glider in Mario Kart Tour

Now that you've downloaded Mario Kart Tour and have played a few rounds, the competitive racing can really begin. To get ahead of your fellow racers, you're going to want to take advantage of the best gear for each course. Mario Kart Tour assigns different perks to each kart, driver, and glider. For instance, each glider has a special skill, which typically results in a specific item showing up more often as you race. Additionally, gliders provide bonus points on specific courses. You'll want to take advantage of this system and mix and match your glider, driver, and kart if you want to get better global scores.

How do you unlock gliders in Mario Kart Tour?

As with karts, there are a few different ways to get gliders in Mario Kart Tour. You can use the coins you've collected on the track to purchase gliders at the Shop, or you can try to get a glider by spending rubies to fire a pipe. This second method gives you a random character, kart, or glider, so you'll have to take a chance if you go that route. Lastly, some gliders are given to you as rewards for completing specific courses or cups.

There are optional microtransactions in this app, which means that you can spend real-world money to add rubies to your account. This will make it easier to acquire more gear, including gliders.
