Starchute
Template:Kart-infobox The Starchute is a High-End glider in Mario Kart Tour. It was introduced in the 2019 Winter Tour and is the signature glider of Mario (Santa), Builder Toad, Mario (Sunshine) and Yoshi (Reindeer). The glider is a parachute that resembles a Super Star, but with yellow eyes. Collecting Coins grants more points when using this glider.
The Starchute also has three variants in-game; a rainbow-colored variant named the Rainbow Starchute that was introduced in the Vancouver Tour, an American flag-themed variant named the Star-Spangled Glider that was introduced in the 2020 Los Angeles Tour, and a silver variant named the Silver Starchute that was introduced in the 2020 Winter Tour; all three variants share the High-End classification.
