Glider Skills Ranking

Ranking	Glider Skill	Reason
SS	Lightning Plus	Lightning is one of the best comeback items, as you crash and slow down opponents while earning a huge amount of points. Increasing the chance of getting one when you're at the 6th-8th place in a race can get you back on top quickly.
	Super Horn Plus	Super Horn is one of the best items you can get in a race. You can get it whatever place you are currently in a race. It can protect you from all kinds of items, except for Lightning and can also crash opponents and destroy their items.
S	Coin Plus	Increases the chance of getting coins in a race. Coins are essential in the game as it is one of the currency you can use to purchase items in the shop.
	Bob-omb Plus	Chances of getting Bob-ombs in a race will increase with this skill. Bob-ombs are strong items that can take out multiple opponents and obstacles at once in a large radius. It can also destroy opponents' items if they have one.
	Blooper Plus	Blooper Plus increases the chances of obtaining a Blooper item in the race. Bloopers are hard-to-get items that will spit out ink on other racers' screens. It may only appear when you're at the 4th-6th place in the race. Blooper Plus skill can help you out clearing the "Land a hit with a Blooper" challenge, if it's available.
A	Bullet Bill Plus	Bullet Bill is also a good comeback item you can get in the game. You will increase the chance of getting Bullet Bill with the Bullet Bill Plus skill. You can only get it when you're at the 6th-8th place in a race. The downfall of using Bullet Bill is that you'll get one less item if you get an item box while in Bullet Bill form.
	Red Shell Plus	Red Shell Plus increases the chances of getting Red Shells in a race. Red Shell is a homing item when thrown forward but will only go straight when thrown backward. You can get this item whenever place you are at in the race.
	Mega Mushroom Plus	You will have a higher chance of getting a Mega Mushroom with the Mega Mushroom Plus. Mega Mushroom will make you bigger and anyone who bumps into you will crash. It will lose effect after a short time or if you get hit by an item.
B	Banana Plus	Bananas already have a high chance of getting into your item slot. Increasing the chance of getting Bananas with a Banana Plus skill is unwise. Only use a glider with a Banana Plus if there is a challenge that requires you to hit opponents with Bananas.
	Green Shell Plus	Green Shells are the same as Bananas. You can get them easily whenever you are at in a race. Green Shell Plus is only useful if you need to hit opponents with Green Shells to clear a challenge.
C	Mushroom Plus	Mushroom Plus increases your chances of getting Mushrooms in a race. Mushrooms are the worst item in the race, as you can cover the distance easily by doing consecutive Mini-Turbos. It's only good to use on shortcuts as it can help you drive smoothly off-road..

Tier List Criteria

Special Skill and Courses

This tier list focuses on the gliders' Special Skills and the number of Favorite and Favored courses.

Gliders' Special Skill and Favorite and Favored courses define their stats, unlike their counterparts in the console games, which have other stats tied to Speed, Handling, etc.

Certain Skills like Lightning Plus and Coin Plus are more useful in increasing your total score, while something like Green Shell Plus is a bit harder to use effectively. Gliders of higher rarity also have higher base points in addition to more favored courses, and thus they rank higher.

List of Special Skills and Effects

Combo Time

Higher rarity gliders have more combo uptime compared to lower rarity ones. Increased combo time can help you perform more tricks with a larger interval. Performing long combos will help you score more points in a race, making High-End gliders ranking higher.

Item Bonus

Each Glider can increase the chance of getting a certain item depending on which one is used. You can see more information about each item and its effect by clicking the link below.
