Millstones appear as obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They are located in [[Thwomp Ruins]]. These millstones roll around certain parts of the track after 45 seconds in a race, and one rolls over a wall blocking a [[Glide Ramp]], thus making it available for use. Unlike most hazards in ''Mario Kart 8'', slowly driving into a millstone does not make the racer tumble over. | Millstones appear as obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
