For any character to use it, the player must obtain a gold trophy in all cups on Mirror Mode.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
The Streamliner reappears inMario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses theStandard tires fromMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe to match its appearance inMario Kart DS. The Streamliner offers longer-lastingSlipstream boosts and additional points for performing Slipstreams.
The kart has been slightly updated from its original appearance, now having a spoiler, the exhaust pipes being closer together, as well as an engine block that has the emblem on it between the exhaust pipes.
The game introduces three variants, a red variant simply called theRed Streamliner, a dark blue variant with decals known as theDecal Streamliner, an orange variant, also with decals, simply called theOrange Streamliner, and a variant with a lightning pattern known as theLightning Streamliner. The former kart also has the Super classification, while the latter three karts have the High-End classification instead.
