Tricks reappear in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', where they are known as '''jump actions'''.<ref name="MK7">{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20190402121628/https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/manual-3DS-mario-kart-7-en.pdf|format=PDF|title=''Mario Kart 7'' digital manual|publisher=Nintendo.com|language=en}}{{page needed}}</ref>  They can be activated by pressing {{button|3ds|R}} while going over a ramp (including a [[Glide Ramp]]) or an element of the course that causes the kart to jump. They now are the sole way to obtain a boost, known as '''Jump Boost''',<ref name="MK7"/> when landing from said jumps. However, characters no longer spin or flip at all when performing one. Unlike Tricks in ''Mario Kart Wii'', ''Mario Kart 7'' has only 2 variations of a stunt per character. Each character in ''Mario Kart 7'' has at least one animation of them facing the screen, while the other animation does not (for Metal Mario's case, however, both of his animations show him not facing the screen, making him the only character with this trait). For example, [[Luigi]] has two stunts, the first being an animation of him punching the air, and the second being Luigi flailing his arms about.

[[File:Larry Sport Bike second trick.png|thumb|[[Larry Koopa]] performs a trick in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.]]
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the trick and Jump Boost mechanics are the same of ''Mario Kart 7''.<ref name="MK8"/> There is a new sound effect when a character performs a trick. There are a total of nine tricks for each character, three for karts, three for standard bikes and ATVs and three for sport bikes, although all of the sport bikes tricks, despite their slightly different coding, end up being the same ones performed on standard bikes and ATVs, with the exception of the tricks of Peach, Larry Koopa, and Baby Daisy, who have a trick which is different when performed on a sport bike. Two of the three trick types have no special requirements, though the second type is always used as a glider pad trick. The third type is only seen at anti-gravity segments where the player can spin or flip their vehicle when performing a trick. When tricking, how karts/bikes/ATVs spin/flip can also be controlled by which button from the +Control Pad is pressed, or which way the Wii Remote/Wii U GamePad is tilted.
