| ==History==
| |
| ===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', two dash panel ramp trucks drive along with the other traffic on {{classic link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}}, but they are removed during [[Battle Mode]]. If the player drives into the front or side of one of these trucks, they briefly flip over, and the truck may honk its horn at them. Although the trucks cannot be entirely removed, they can be briefly launched into the air if driven into from the front or side while using a [[Super Star]] or [[Bullet Bill]] or if hit by a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]. Unlike most other vehicle types, they are immune to [[Super Horn]]s. If the player drives up the back of a truck, the player is able to use it as a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]], allowing them to glide over the other vehicles and access the ramps on top of some of the [[truck|cargo truck]]s and [[bus]]es. The ramp on the truck also includes a [[Dash Panel|dash panel]] to boost their takeoff from the glide ramp, which can also be boosted by performing a [[Jump Boost|trick]] off the top of the ramp, similar to the trucks carrying surfboards.

| In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', stationary trucks appear on numerous courses, though they almost always have either a regular ramp or a dash panel ramp. The only course to feature a truck with a glide ramp is [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute 4]]. The glider truck in question does not have a dash panel like its ''Mario Kart 8'' version.
