? Block from Mario Kart Tour
Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The ? Block is a Super glider in Mario Kart Tour. It was introduced in the Mario Bros. Tour and became the signature glider of Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES) in the Super Mario Kart Tour. The glider is a variant of the Parafoil with an image of two Brick Blocks surrounding a singular ? Block. Unlike the Parafoil, this glider provides better chances of obtaining Coins from Item Boxes and increases the number of points earned for using Coins from the inventory.

Availability[edit]

The ? Block is obtainable from regular pipes, and, as of the 2022 Mii Tour, it is a part of the Daily Selects lineup. The following table shows its special availability by tour.
