Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Dolphin Drifter is a High-End kart in Mario Kart Tour. It was introduced in the Vacation Tour and is the signature kart of Rosalina (Swimwear). As its name indicates, the kart is based on a Dolphin with jet engines on each of its pectoral fins and a floaty on its tail. Following the Dolphin Dasher and the Turbo Dolphin, it is the third vehicle in the Mario Kart series to be designed after Dolphins from the Super Mario franchise. The kart uses a color-inverted version of the Cheep Snorkel's tires and the driver's emblem is located on both of its jet engines. The Dolphin Drifter increases the duration of Jump Boosts and the number of points earned for performing a Jump Boost. It was the final kart to debut in Mario Kart Tour without receiving any variants.
