| '''Antigravity Panels'''<ref>{{cite|author=Musa, Alexander|title=''Mario Kart 8'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=9|isbn=978-0-804-16328-6|date=May 30, 2014|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us}}</ref> are objects in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They are blue panels bearing a circle pattern that appear on the track to mark the beginning of an [[anti-gravity]] section, causing any racers that drive over them to enter anti-gravity mode. Mechanically, whether or not anti-gravity is activated depends on where the racer is on the course, so the Antigravity Panels only serve as visual indicators of when anti-gravity sections begin. They do not appear in courses that take place entirely in anti-gravity such as {{classic link|GCN|Baby Park}}, but otherwise always appear at the start of an anti-gravity section (except in {{classic link|3DS|Rainbow Road}} and {{classic link|Wii|Koopa Cape}}, in which anti-gravity is activated as the racers fall onto the [[moon]] and into the tunnel respectively). An Antigravity Panel is also used to mark the end of the anti-gravity section in {{classic link|GBA|Boo Lake}}, but not in any other race courses, in which anti-gravity will activate if a racer goes backwards into an anti-gravity section without the need of an Antigravity Panel. The [[Battle Mode|battle]] course [[Battle Stadium]] features Antigravity Panels at both ends of its anti-gravity section. Some characters can audibly react to the activation of anti-gravity upon driving over an Antigravity Panel. | | An '''Antigravity Panel''' is a panel that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The panel is blue with a circle pattern on it and marks the beginning of [[Anti-gravity]] sections. It must be noted that the activation of anti-gravity mode does not rely on these panels, as it is simply activated when going in parts of the track that require it, as can be noted when driving backwards in tracks such as [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]]. Therefore, their function is merely informative and unlike [[Dash Panel]]s, the panels do not provide any sort of speed boost when driven over. It must be noted that characters only shout or speak the first time they activate anti-gravity mode and thus do not actually react to the panel. The panels are included in both nitro and updated retro courses, but courses that fully take place in anti-gravity, such as [[Baby Park|<small>GCN</small> Baby Park]] do not feature the panels at all. |

| In the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'', [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipes]] take after the design of Antigravity Panels, as they briefly put racers in anti-gravity.

| | |
| An Antigravity Panel can be seen in the background of the [[Mario Circuit (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)|Mario Circuit]] [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', in the same place as in the original [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]] course.
