How do you unlock gliders in Mario Kart Tour?
As with karts, there are a few different ways to get gliders in Mario Kart Tour. You can use the coins you've collected on the track to purchase gliders at the Shop, or you can try to get a glider by spending rubies to fire a pipe. This second method gives you a random character, kart, or glider, so you'll have to take a chance if you go that route. Lastly, some gliders are given to you as rewards for completing specific courses or cups.
There are optional microtransactions in this app, which means that you can spend real-world money to add rubies to your account. This will make it easier to acquire more gear including gliders.
