Rainy Balloons from Mario Kart Tour
Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Rainy Balloons are a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. Introduced in the 2019 Halloween Tour, they are the signature gliders of King Boo (Luigi's Mansion), Hammer Bro, Boomerang Bro, and Penguin Toad. They are a variant of the Cloud Glider with a darker color scheme resembling Lakithunder's cloud. Like the Cloud Glider, striking other drivers with Lightning grants more points than usual upon using this glider.
