The Tropical Balloons in Mario Kart Tour
Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Tropical Balloons are a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. They debuted in the Ocean Tour as the signature glider of Daisy (Sailor). The glider is based on the Cloud Glider, with rainbow clouds that have sunglasses on them, a flower and straw on the left cloud, and an orange slice on the right cloud. The Tropical Balloons glider improves the chances of getting Bloopers from Item Boxes and increases the number of bonus points earned by landing hits with Bloopers.

The Tropical Balloons is not currently obtainable from regular pipes, and it is not currently part of the Daily Selects lineup. The following table shows the glider's availability by tour.
