ThePeach Parasol is aglider from theMario Kart series. As its name states, it is a pink umbrella which has its design inspired byPrincess Peach. It offers a small acceleration boost, while hindering the weight stat. Like all the other gliders, it allowskarts to go airborne for a brief time period. However, it is the slowest glider in the game, hindering the air speed stat heavily.
History[edit]
Mario Kart 7[edit]
The Peach Parasol makes its first appearance inMario Kart 7. Like theBirthday Girl, its color only changes when it is used byDaisy,Rosalina andHoney Queen. All the other characters use Peach's personal pink parasol. It gives a small boost to acceleration but makes the kart slightly lighter. It has the same stats as theFlower Glider. Unlike the Birthday Girl, male or indeterminate-gender computer racers can use this glider.

Mario Kart 8 /Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
The Peach Parasol returns inMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe, and is now less transparent and adorned with a royal pattern on the white line and the shaft is now brown instead of tan. The same color changes apply like the previous game, but only when usingDaisy,Rosalina,Baby Daisy,Baby Rosalina,Wiggler,Kamek andFunky Kong. Unusually, Wiggler shares Daisy/Baby Daisy's Peach Parasol color scheme, while Kamek and Funky Kong share Rosalina/Baby Rosalina's color scheme; despite Wiggler, Kamek, and Funky Kong not being female characters. InMario Kart 8, the glider has the same stats as it does inMario Kart 7, and it shares its stats with theCloud Glider,Parachute,Parafoil,Bowser Kite,MKTV Parafoil andHylian Kite.
InMario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPUPeach andCat Peach use this glider with thePrancer kart body. Additionally, its stats have changed somewhat: it now only shares its stats with the Parafoil, MKTV Parafoil and Bowser Kite.
