The '''Comet Tail''' is a High-End [[kart]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Introduced in the [[Vancouver Tour]], it is the signature kart of [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Aurora)]]. The Comet Tail is a comet-themed vehicle resembling the {{wp|Lotus 49}} with small star designs on it resembling the design and color scheme of Rosalina (Aurora)'s dress. It uses the [[Blue Standard]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The emblem is located on the hood and on the back of a six-cylinder engine between the exhaust pipes. The Comet Tail increases [[Dash Panel]] boost duration and the number of points earned for using Dash Panels.

The Comet Tail has four variants that all debut in the [[Mii Tour (2023)|2023 Mii Tour]]: the [[Red Comet]], the [[Pink Comet]], the [[Green Comet (kart)|Green Comet]], and the [[Gold Comet]]. All four are also classified as High-End karts.
