The Bubble is a item in the Mario Kart series that is exclusive to Mario Kart Tour as a Special Skill. As the name implies, it encases the player in a bubble that pulls the player forward automatically in a way similar to the Bullet Bill. However, it doesn't hit other players or protect the player from other items.

Usage

The Bubble is a Special Skill exclusive to some racers, and is usually obtained from an Item Box when these racers aren't in first place. When the Bubble is obtained and used, the racer will be temporarily encased in a floating Bubble that automatically traverses the course layout (although its steering may be a bit unpredictable and annoying at times), just like the Bullet Bill, and in this case it rewards points as the racer is inside the Bubble. However, unlike said item, the Bubble moves significantly slower, and it only protects the racer from one hit before it pops. The Bubble can also pop if the Bubble is tapped too much.

The Bubble is less useful in T/RT variants, as the Bubble prevents the player from reaching and earning points from Jump Boost and Dash Panels, which are abundant in these tracks. Also, the Bubble may take the player to an area that can end their combo.

The Bubble+ is the upgraded version of the Bubble. This variant only increases the Bubble's speed.

As of the 2023 Anniversary Tour, only Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, Lemmy, Cheep Cheep Mii Racing Suit, Lemmy Mii Racing Suit and Fish Bone Mii Racing Suit have the Bubble as their Special Skill.
