The '''8-Bit Star''' is a High-End [[glider]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It first appeared in the [[Super Mario Kart Tour]] and became the signature glider of [[Mario|Mario (SNES)]] in the [[Mario Tour]] and [[Wario|Wario (Cowboy)]] in the [[Wario vs. Waluigi Tour]]. The glider is a recreation of the [[Super Star]]'s sprite from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' with an 8-bit connecting pole, much like the [[8-Bit Jumping Mario]], [[8-Bit Jumping Luigi]], [[8-Bit Fire Flower]], [[8-Bit Bullet Bill]], and [[8-Bit Super Mushroom]]. As evidenced by its French, Spanish, and Portuguese names, it also looks similar to the [[Starchute]]. Striking other drivers with [[Lightning]] grants more points than usual when using this glider.
