The '''Swooper''' (known as the '''Swoop''' in the British English version of ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'') is a [[glider]] in the ''Mario Kart'' series. As its name states, the Swooper is shaped like the [[Swoop]] enemy (which was formerly called the Swooper).

==History==
===''Mario Kart 7''===
The Swooper first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as an unlockable glider part. Like the [[Parafoil|Paraglider]], [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]] and [[Flower Glider]], it offers an acceleration boost, while hindering weight, but like all the other gliders, it allows [[kart]]s to go airborne for a brief time period.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The Swooper returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a High-End glider. Hitting other racers with [[Bob-omb]]s grants more points when using this glider.

The [[Ice Tour]] introduced a gold variant of the glider, simply named the [[Gold Swooper]], which is also classified as a High-End glider.
