Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The 8-Bit Block Glider is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. It was introduced in the 2023 Mario Tour and is the signature glider of Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES). As its name suggests, it is a glider designed similarly to the 8-Bit Super Glider and features the Brick Block and ? Block sprites from Super Mario Bros. with an 8-bit connecting pole. This glider improves the chances of getting Coins from Item Boxes and increases the number of bonus points earned for using Coins from the inventory. Like the Cat Parafoil, the 8-Bit Block Glider's artwork shows it in a different view from its base glider (in this case, showing it from the back instead of the front).

Availability[edit]

The 8-Bit Block Glider is not currently obtainable from pipes, and it is not currently part of the Daily Selects lineup. The following table shows its availability by tour.
