The '''Flower Glider''' is a [[glider]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.

==History==
===''Mario Kart 7''===
The glider first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as an unlockable glider. Here, it resembles a ''{{wp|Bellis}}'' flower. It offers a small acceleration boost, while hindering the weight stat. Like all the other gliders, it allows [[kart]]s to go airborne for a set period of time.

===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the Flower Glider is given a new look, where it now resembles a {{wp|Helianthus|sunflower}}. In a [[Play Nintendo]] video showcasing ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', it is referred to as the "'''Daisy Glider'''".<ref>{{cite|quote=Of course I had to pick Baby Daisy because I think she’s pretty adorable.

In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', CPU [[Baby Daisy]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Birdo]] use this with the Wild Wiggler body.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The Flower Glider returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', classified as a Super glider. In this version, it keeps its redesign from ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. The Flower Glider provides better chances of getting [[Banana]]s from [[Item Box]]es and increases the number of bonus points earned for hitting other drivers with Bananas.

The game introduces a pink variant, simply named the [[Pink Flower Glider]], a blue variant that is referred to as the [[Blue Flower Glider]], and a white variant that resembles its ''Mario Kart 7'' appearance named the [[Daisy Glider]]. A similar glider called the [[Smiley Flower Glider]] also appears in this game.
