'''Boost Pads''' (also called '''Dash Panels''', '''Zippers''', '''Rainbow Boosts''', '''Rainbow Ramps''' or '''Turbo Tiles''') are special zones that appear in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. The appearance of these panels have changed throughout the game's history. Boost Pads are used to increase speed of the player's [[Kart]], especially to be used to achieve maximum speed on big jumps and slopes. If the player uses a [[Mushroom]] on any of these pads, nothing will happen; however, the player will go faster if the player [[Slipstreaming|slipstreams]] on it.

They are most prominently featured in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.


==History==
==Appearances==
===''Mario Kart'' series===
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Super Mario Kart''====
Boost Pads are one of the main road elements in ''Mario Kart'' games, appearing in almost every title in the series. However, their design vary from game to game:
Dash Panels, named '''Zippers''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Kart'' instruction booklet|page=12|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1992|language=en-us}}</ref> first appear in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', where they appear as yellow arrows. They appear in [[Bowser Castle 1]], [[SNES Mario Circuit 2|Mario Circuit 2]], [[SNES Ghost Valley 2|Ghost Valley 2]], [[Bowser Castle 2]], [[SNES Mario Circuit 3|Mario Circuit 3]], [[Bowser Castle 3]] and [[Ghost Valley 3]]. In Mario Circuit 2, Zippers are used to make a large jump. In the [[Virtual Console]] release, they are named '''Speed Pads'''.<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' Wii Virtual Console Manual|page=5}}</ref>
*'''''Super Mario Kart''''': In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', Boost Pads appear as a yellow arrow in a few courses.
*'''''Mario Kart 64''''': In the [[Mario Kart 64|Nintendo 64 title]], Boost Pads are set in almost every track and appear as yellow and red pads.
*'''''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''''': In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', they again appear as yellow and red pads.
*'''''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''''': In [[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!|this game]], they are flashing rainbow panels.
*'''''Mario Kart DS''''': In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Boost Pads continue to appear as flashing rainbow pads.
*'''''Mario Kart Wii''''': In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' they once again have flashy rainbow coloration. Retro courses keep the original design.
*'''''Mario Kart 7''''': In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Boost Pads are color-coded:
**'''Orange Boost Pads''' simply increase the speed of the karts.
**'''Blue Boost Pads''' are placed at the edge of ramps, and activate the gliders, allowing them to soar through the next area.
*'''''Mario Kart 8''''': In [[Mario Kart 8|the Wii U game]], they are distinguishable by their colors and style:
**'''Orange Boost Pads''' increase the speed of the kart or bike.
**'''Blue Boost Pads with arrows''' activate the glider feature, and are placed on ramps or edges.
**'''Blue Boost Pads with circles''', when found before an anti-gravity section, activate the anti-gravity wheels. If placed at the end of an anti-gravity section, activate regular wheels.


====''Mario Kart 64''====
===''Diddy Kong Racing''===
[[File:MK64 Boost Pad.png|thumb|[[Donkey Kong]] on a Dash Zone in D.K.'s Jungle Parkway]]
Objects that behave similarly to a boost pad in the ''Mario Kart'' series appear in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', where they are known as [[Diddy Kong Racing DS#Zippers|Zippers]].
Dash Panels, named '''Dash Zones'''<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' instruction booklet|page=31-32|date=1997|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> and '''booster arrows''',<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, Scott Pelland, and Paul Shinoda|title=''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Player's Guide|page=59, 67|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1997|language=en-us}}</ref> reappear in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' in [[N64 Royal Raceway|Royal Raceway]] and [[N64 DK's Jungle Parkway|D.K.'s Jungle Parkway]]. They appear as scrolling yellow and red arrows, and they are used to launch racers over large gaps similarly to [[cannon]]s in later games. They are larger than in ''Super Mario Kart''. Ramps that look like Dash Zones appear in [[N64 Koopa Troopa Beach|Koopa Troopa Beach]].

====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
===''Mario Party 9''===
[[File:MKSCBooster.png|thumb|left|[[Toad]] near a row of Speed Strips in Riverside Park from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'']]
Boost Pads (known in this game as '''Dash Zones''') appear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' in the minigame, [[Speeding Bullets]]. They are used to accelerate the character's speed when they are used. These Boost Pads are orange in colour and are arrow-shaped. In Time Attack, a bonus challenge for Speeding Bullets is to not miss a single Dash Zone.
In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', they are named '''Speed Strips''',<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan and Steve Stratton|date=August 22, 2001|title=''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide|page=39|isbn=0-7615-3709-0}}</ref> and are smaller than in ''Mario Kart 64''. Speed Strips appear in fourteen courses. They act the same as they did in ''Super Mario Kart'' and are often used to make large jumps off ramps, such as in [[GBA Ribbon Road|Ribbon Road]]. With the exception of [[SNES Mario Circuit 2|Mario Circuit 2]], all [[Extra Cup|extra courses]] had their Speed Strips removed.


====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
===''Super Mario 3D World''==
Dash Panels, also named '''Rainbow Ramps''',<ref>{{cite|author=Grimm, Steven|date=2003|title=''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' Official Nintendo Player's Guide|page=59|isbn=1930206-42-9}}</ref> are objects in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. They are now designed as rainbow-colored panels with a rectangular shape. In this game, Dash Panels are more powerful, being as fast as a [[Mushroom]].
These objects make their debut in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', for the [[Wii U]]. This time, they are square-shaped, and feature a pixelated diamond animation. Once a character runs on it, it will blink and give them a boost.

====''Mario Kart DS''====
[[Category:Mario Kart Wii]]
Dash Panels reappear in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' with a design similar to ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''{{'}}s, except with more vibrant colors. In {{classic-link|GBA|Bowser's Castle 2|Bowser Castle 2}}, certain Dash Panels use their old design, while others use the new design.

[[File:LuigiCircuitWii3.png|thumb|[[Baby Luigi]] on a Dash Panel in [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]]]]
[[Category:Mario Party 9]]
Dash Panels reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', where they have a similar design to the ones in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', but in most courses, the color only changes from fuchsia to red, orange, and yellow. [[Jump Boost|Trick]]s can now be performed off of Dash Panels that are on ramps in order to gain a jump boost. Every Wii course in the game features a Dash Panel. Retro courses from games older than ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' that contain Dash Panels keep their original design, such as in {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}. [[Half-pipe (object)|Halfpipe-style boost ramp]]s are also introduced in this game, which signal the locations where the player can jump and perform tricks off the sides of courses.

====''Mario Kart 7''====
Dash Panels reappear in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', where they no longer change color, and are only orange. A new blue variant called [[Glide Ramp]]s appear which do not increase the player's speed and deploy the player's [[Glider]] when driven over. Tricks can also be performed off of Glide Ramps.
{{br}}
 
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
[[File:MK8Booster.png|thumb|[[Pink Gold Peach]] near Dash Panels and the Glide Ramp in [[Cloudtop Cruise]] from ''Mario Kart 8'']]
Dash Panels and Glide Ramps reappear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where the arrows on the Dash Panels are pixelated. In {{classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}}, [[dash panel ramp truck]]s appear which have a Dash Panel and a Glide Ramp on them. [[Antigravity Panel]]s appear, which automatically set the Kart into [[anti-gravity]] mode. It ends automatically, often after a ramp or a gliding section. When going backwards, the anti-gravity automatically turns on or off when passing over the anti-gravity panel.
 
Dash Panels do not speed up the player when inactive. In some courses, some Dash Panels become inactive under certain conditions:
*[[Cloudtop Cruise]]: The Dash Panels in the thundercloud segment will switch off when struck by lightning.
*[[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart 8)|Bowser's Castle]]: When they are in contact with the [[Bowser Monument]]'s fist.
*[[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]]: They switch on and off when the conveyor belts change directions.
*[[Hyrule Circuit]]: When not all of the [[Spin Boost Pillar]]s' diamonds are lit up.
*[[Super Bell Subway]]: When a train drives on one, the Dash Panel become inactive.
{{br}}
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
Dash Panels, Glide Ramps and half-pipes reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. They act the same as in previous games, except for half-pipes that feature new mechanics. The player now automatically tricks off of Glide Ramps and Dash Panels which are on ramps. Using a Dash Panel gives the player points.
 
The following karts increase boost time and points from going over a Dash Panel.

====''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'', '''boosts''', or a '''boost zone''', reappear, but with a new 3-D arrow design. They can be placed as a gate customization. Any racer that drives through the gate will receive a short burst of speed. The player can also set the boost to be an entire length, or be in certain spots.
 
===''Diddy Kong Racing'' / ''Diddy Kong Racing DS''===
{{multiframe|[[File:Zipper Ground DKRDS.png|50px]][[File:Zipper Water DKRDS.png|50px]][[File:Zipper Air DKRDS.png|50px]]|The three Zippers, from left to right: car, hovercraft, and plane|align=left|size=150}}
{{Quote|Take your finger off the accelerator, just before you hit a Zipper!|Taj|Diddy Kong Racing}}
Zippers appear in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. They function similarly as in the ''Mario Kart'' series, but like with other speed boosts, if the player lets go of the {{button|n64|A}} button before one is activated, they receive a bigger speed boost with green fire and rainbow-colored smoke. There are three variants of Zippers, one for each vehicle. Each vehicle's Zipper has a different appearance and is positioned based on the associated terrain. [[Car]] Zippers are arrow-shaped panels placed on the ground, the [[hovercraft]] variant is shaped like a triangle and located on bodies of water, and the [[plane]] variant is ring-shaped and located in the air. Initially, all these Zippers come in red and yellow. The hovercraft and plane variants are slightly transparent and animated, whereas the car variant is opaque and static. Any vehicle can use any Zipper, though it is difficult and counterproductive for a car to even touch a hovercraft or plane Zipper, whereas a plane can easily reach any of them, and a hovercraft is in the middle. Many hovercraft and plane Zippers do not appear if no player has selected the matching vehicle, while most car Zippers are always present.

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''====
Dash Panels reappear in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', where they appear in the [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Nintendo DS)|Dream Race]] event and function similarly to their appearances in other games. They also appear in the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|version]], where they also appear in [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii)|Dream Race]], however in this version of the event their positions change each lap. In the DS version of the game, Dash Panels are rainbow colored and a red and yellow arrows in the middle. In the Wii version of the game, they are smaller and switch between yellow and orange.
 
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''====
Dash Panels reappear in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', where they appear in the [[Ski Cross Racing]] event, functioning the same as in other games and having a similar design to Dash Panels in ''Mario Kart Wii''. Boosted [[Ramp]]s using various numbers of Dash Panels also appear in this event. A single long Dash Panel appears in [[Intense Short Track]], where it appears near the end of the course, though in this event the characters only receive a small speed boost when they reach the end of the Dash Panel. Numerous Dash Panels appear on the [[Deluxe Halfpipe]] course, where they provide the player with a large speed boost. Another single panel appears in [[Blazing Bobsleigh]], where it gives the characters a speed boost when they pass over it.
 
In the Wii [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|version]], Dash Panels appear in both the [[Dream Ski Cross (Individual)|individual]] and [[Dream Ski Cross (Team)|team]] versions of Dream Ski Cross, where they give characters that pass over them a short speed boost as well as angling them to better follow the course.
 
====''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''====
[[File:1500m.png|150px|thumb|Dash Panels in the 1500m event in the 3DS version of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'']]
Dash Panels reappear in both versions of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', where they are generically named '''panels'''. In the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|version]], they appear exclusively in the [[Dream Equestrian]] event, where they appear in the [[Moo Moo Meadows]] course. In the event they use their ''Mario Kart Wii'' appearance and are surrounded by a wooden border. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version they only appear in the [[1500m]] event, where they are blue, green, and yellow, and are surrounded by a white border. Other items which act similarly appear in the [[10km Marathon Swim]] and [[Sailing - 470 (Pair)]] events. They act the same as they did in previous games.
 
====''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games''====
Dash Panels appear in [[Groove Pipe Snowboard]] in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', where they look and function as they do in the ''Mario Kart'' series.
 
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020''====
Dash Panels reappear in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', where they are red and white. They appear in the [[Highway Chase]] and [[Marathon (2D)]] minigames. They act same as they did in previous games.
 
===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 9'' / ''Mario Party: The Top 100''====
Dash Panels, named '''dash zones''', reappear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' in the [[minigame]] [[Speeding Bullets]], including the minigame's reappearance in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. Dash zones are used to accelerate the character's speed when they are used. They are orange and are in the shape of an arrow. In Time Attack mode, the bonus challenge for Speeding Bullets is to not miss a single dash zone. The introduction cutscene for the minigame shows a player going over a dash zone. A dash zone that is named a '''dash ramp''' also appears in [[Snow Go]] which sends the player over thick snow. In Time Attack mode, the bonus challenge is to use it in all ten laps.
 
====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Dash Panels reappear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', where they are present in two minigames: [[Gyro for the Gold]] and [[Mr. Blizzard's Snow Slalom]]. In the former, they are used to cross gaps between the platforms of the obstacle course, and have arrows which move on the Dash Panels quickly. In the latter, they look similar to Dash Panels in ''Mario Kart 7'' and are used to launch the player's snowball at [[Mr. Blizzard]].
 
====''Super Mario Party''====
[[File:RapidsRun SMP.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Party'' ([[Rapids Run]])]]
Dash Panels reappear in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', where flat Dash Panels appear in the River Survival mode on the water's surface, boosting the raft forwards when run over. Dash Panels on ramps also appear, which are used to reach minigame balloons and [[+ Clock]]s suspended in the air. The flat Dash Panels are orange and yellow, while the Dash Panels on ramps are red and yellow. Dash Panels also appear with their ''Mario Kart 8'' appearance in the minigame [[Barreling Along]], where they boost players forwards.
 
====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
Dash Panels reappear in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' as items in Bowser Kaboom Squad. Dash Panels are placed on the ground, and a player that steps on one sprints at high speed. Single, double, and triple quantities of Dash Panels can be obtained depending on the players' rank in an 8-player minigame.
 
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:SM3DW Dash Panel.png|thumb|left|A Dash Panel in ''Super Mario 3D World'']]
Dash Panels reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They are square-shaped and feature a pixelated diamond animation. When character runs on it, it will blink and will increase their speed. Characters cannot stop running or crouch and cannot make large changes in direction without being in the air during a speed boost. All characters run at the same speed when boosted. Jumping will slow boosted characters down slightly, especially if an ability such as floating is used.  Characters will immediately return to full speed upon landing if the boost has not run out.
{{br|left}}
====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
While Dash Panels do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', similar objects known as [[Dash Block]]s, which are based on the Dash Panels in ''Super Mario 3D World'', appear as placeable course elements.
 
===''Mario Golf'' series===
[[File:PeachGardens2.png|thumb|Dash Panels in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'']]
Dash Panels are objects in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', pink, heart-shaped Dash Panels appear in all holes of [[Peach Gardens (golf course)|Peach Gardens]] except hole four, and the speed the golf ball up on contact. In ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', Dash Panels depicted with their ''Super Mario 3D World'' design appear in the Battle Golf mode and in [[New Donk City (golf course)|New Donk City]], though unlike the previous game, the Dash Panels only affect characters dashing in Speed Golf or Battle Golf, and not golf balls.
{{br}}
 
===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
[[File:Captain toad lava.jpg|thumb|Captain Toad running from [[Charvaargh]]s on Dash Panels]]
Dash Panels reappear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]], where they have the same appearance and function that they had in ''Super Mario 3D World''. They appear in [[Magma Road Marathon]], where the player has to use them in order to advance and to not get hit by [[Charvaargh]]s, and they also appear in [[Drop-Road Dash]]. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] versions of the game, they also appear in [[Cookatiel's Sizzling Sprint]].
{{br}}
 
===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
Dash Panels appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', where they are white and orange, first appearing in the [[Lakitu Info Center#Missions|mission]] [[Wait Up, Yoshi!]] in [[Gloomy Woods]]. When the Dash Panels are stepped on, the trio dashes in the direction the arrows point. The trio cannot change their direction while they are dashing. In the [[Toad Trail]] challenge in the [[Attackathon]], Dash Panels appear and can speed up Mario and Luigi's ball form, allowing them to ram [[Goomba]] targets for extra points.
 
===''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge''===
[[File:Play Nintendo MMFaC Items Boost Pad.png|thumb|200px|Boost Pads in ''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge'']]
Dash Panels, named '''Boost Pads''', reappear in ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', where they have orange and yellow arrows which move and blue handles on the sides. They appear in every level in the world [[Boost Pad Bonanza]]. [[Mini]]s speed up when touching them. Boost Pads are either on the ground or on walls, the latter of which cause Minis to run up or down a wall. By tapping a Boost Pad, the directions of all Boost Pads in a level can be changed simultaneously.

===Other appearances===
{{multiframe|[[File:DKP03 Zipper.png]][[File:DKP03 Zipper pink.png]][[File:DKP03 Zipper yellow.png]]|The three differently colored Zippers in ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' (2003).|align=left|size=200}}
The plane-based Zippers from ''Diddy Kong Racing'' appear in both the [[Diddy Kong Pilot|2001 build]] and the 2003 build of the canceled ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]''. In the 2001 build of ''Diddy Kong Pilot'', they would have acted the same as their original counterparts. The 2003 build of ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' introduces two new types of Zippers. While the yellow and orange/red ones would have acted the same as their original counterpart, the special pink Zippers would spawn chains of themselves in a row if gone through. The final pink Zipper in the chain would lead to a faster and longer "Monkey Power" boost. The black and yellow ones would activate a "Monkey Madness" effect that autopilots the player to the finish/checkpoint line. The game would eventually be repurposed to become ''{{wp|Banjo-Pilot}}'', and the Zippers were slightly altered and renamed '''Speed-Up Rings'''.
