Glide Ramp

Mario Kart

Glide Ramps are an object in the Mario Kart series. They first appear in Mario Kart 7.

Description

Glide Ramps are a type of ramp that causes the character's kart to deploy its glider upon being used. Glide Ramps often appear before a long pit, as racers can only travel across certain ones by gliding. Their appearance is similar to a regular Boost Pad, albeit always blue and with white arrowheads perpendicular to the Glide Ramp's length (and parallel to the direction the player will be sent).

Courses with Glide Ramps

Mario Kart 7

  • Toad Circuit: One appears after the racers get through the first lap just before the racers cross the bridge. This can open up a shortcut, though landing on the bridge will cause the shortcut to be bungled.
  • Daisy Hills: Near the end, the racers will have to cross the river this way.
  • Mario Circuit: When the racers exit Peach's Castle, they will be sent into a gliding section over the gap.
  • Bowser Castle: There is one after the Starting Line that leads directly into the castle itself.
  • Rainbow Road: Partway through the second section of the course, the racers will encounter one that leads onto the rings of a Saturn-esque planet, which have been made into a single solid circular platform. They take another to get off. In the final section, after the racers go through the rotating tunnel, they can hit a Glide Ramp to reach some boost-inducing rings.
