The Gold Glider is an unlockable glider in Mario Kart 7 and in Mario Kart 8.
In both of the games, it offers no stats, meaning it gives no effect to the driver's performance. Its stats are identcial with the Super Glider, Wario Wing, Waddle Wing, Plane Glider, and Paper Glider.
History
Mario Kart 7

Mario Kart 8
It returns in Mario Kart 8. Instead of being entirely gold, it is now black with a gold ring and a number eight on top. Like its predecessor, it is unlocked by collecting 10,000 coins, and it does not offer any stat boosts.
