Flower Glider

The Flower Glider is an unlockable glider part in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. As its name states, the glider is shaped like a flower, and it offers a small acceleration boost, while hindering the weight stat. Like all the other gliders, it allows karts to go airborne for a set period of time. In Mario Kart 8, the Flower Glider is given a new look, where it now resembles a sunflower instead of an aster from the previous game. In GBA Ribbon Road, a box for a 1/7 Scale Biddybuggy toy vehicle packaged with a Flower Glider can be seen in the background.

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