===Boost counter===
What is commonly known as a boost counter<ref name="SMKTAS">[http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/SNES/SuperMarioKart.html Game Resources / SNES / Super Mario Kart]. ''TASVideos''. Retrieved February 19, 2018.</ref> is a value that is meant to start at 0 when a drift begins and gradually increase while the player drifts, at a rate that can vary depending on certain conditions. When a certain threshold value is reached, an event happens: either a cosmetic event (sparks appearing, indicating that the full charge of a degree of Mini-Turbo is near) or the charge of a certain degree of Mini-Turbo (either Mini-Turbo, Super Mini-Turbo, or Ultra Mini-Turbo). Once drifting ends, the counter resets and the degree of Mini-Turbo charged is released.

This method of Mini-Turbo charging relies on the player steering toward the outside of the turn, then toward the inside and then toward the outside again during a drift to charge a Mini-Turbo.<ref name ="MK64manual">[http://www.retrogames.cz/manualy/N64/Mario_Kart_64_-_Nintendo_64_-_Manual.pdf Official manual of ''Mario Kart 64''].

When the Mini-Turbo is fully charged, said indicators change color again. After it is charged, the Mini-Turbo is released by releasing the drift button.

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Mini-Turbos are again manually charged, although unlike in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the steering toward the inside of the turn is mandatory again. The charging animation is similar, but with sparks' color reversed from blue, then orange. There is no evident animation following the release, but a small sound is associated with it along with a revving up of the engine (a similar sound as if driving through a [[Dash Panel]] or using a [[Mushroom]]), along with a wind lines on the screen akin to [[Slipstream]]ing. Like in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', there is a hidden Mini-Turbo stat that determines how long a boost lasts. Karts with higher handling and lower weight tend to have a stronger Mini-Turbo boost, with [[Dry Bomber]] being the strongest and the [[Tyrant]] being the weakest.

Well-timed Mini-Turbo boosts, possibly accompanied by hopping, can be again used to avoid [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s.

''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' reintroduces the boost counter, this time charged exclusively when drifting. The charge rate is affected by how much the player is steering toward the inside of the turn while drifting: if the lateral component of the directional input is more than halfway toward the inside of the turn, the charging rate becomes 2.5 times the charging rate obtained in all the other cases.

The imminent charge of a Mini-Turbo or Super Mini-Turbo boosts is denoted by blue and orange sparks coming out of the vehicle, respectively. More vibrant sparks coming out of the driving wheels of the vehicle indicate the Mini-Turbo or Super Mini-Turbo is ready and its release is denoted by flames coming from the exhaust pipes along with a nitrous-like noise and racers shouting.

In ''Mario Kart Wii'' only karts can charge a Super Mini-Turbo, which lasts three times as long as than the regular Mini-Turbo. The [[Bullet Bike]] and [[Mini Beast]] have the best Mini-Turbo stats, while the [[Jetsetter]] and [[Spear]] have the worst. [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Dry Bones]], [[Birdo]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Wario]], and [[Dry Bowser]] each give the strongest Mini-Turbo bonuses to their respective vehicles.

Furthermore, a special Mini-Turbo can be charged while standing still by using the same button combination used for a [[Spin Turn]], but without the need of turning the vehicle. It is fully charged in 75 frames and blue sparks indicating its imminent charge are missing. Karts in this case only charge a regular Mini-Turbo and not a Super Mini-Turbo. This kind of Mini-Turbo is released immediately when the jump/brake button is no longer pressed.

The Mini-Turbo appears in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', marking its first appearance in an arcade game. The Mini-Turbo is executed by holding down both pedals while performing a hard turn. It can be charged up in a similar fashion to its other appearances in the ''Mario Kart'' series, except there are three stages instead of two, with the third one being weaker than the other two; this is a feature that would later be used in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. A meter appears to indicate how long it needs to be held before it reaches the next stage. The first stage creates blue sparks, the second creates orange, and the third creates rainbow sparks, which are exclusive to this game. Releasing the pedals and straightening the steering wheel activates the Mini-Turbo, although the boost has a slightly different impact than other games.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the boost counter is again used as charging method, reusing the charging rate and thresholds of ''Mario Kart Wii'', with the only exception of blue sparks signaling the incoming charge of a Mini-Turbo boost that now appear when said boost is half charged. Furthermore, the orange sparks indicating the incoming charge of a Super Mini-Turbo boost are missing and the characters shout only from the Super Mini-Turbo. Importantly, unlike in ''Mario Kart Wii'', in ''Mario Kart 8'' [[bike]]s can perform a Super Mini-Turbo and the charge continues when the vehicle is detached from the ground, provided that the drift button is held. When a Super Mini-Turbo is charged in [[anti-gravity]] mode, the vehicle parts that normally glow blue will change color to orange, then return to blue when the Mini-Turbo is released. In 200cc, the player can brake in order to charge Mini-Turbos more effectively.

The boost counter can be also increased when autodrifting, although in this case the rate is 2.5 times slower than the charging rate while drifting and the boost is immediately released as soon as the autodrift ends.

''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' introduces a third level of Mini-Turbo known as '''Ultra Mini-Turbo''', that is indicated by purple (pink in the British English version) sparks and a purple glow in anti-gravity mode, and grants a boost that is even longer than the one of the Super Mini-Turbo. This kind of Mini-Turbo can only be performed if Smart Steering is disabled. Ultra Mini-Turbo also has a slightly different sound effect that indicates its charge. Brake-drifting is also notably more effective in 200cc.

According to an official Mini-Turbo tutorial video released by Nintendo for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', regular Mini-Turbo lasts for 0.621 seconds, Super Mini-Turbo lasts for 1.674 seconds and the Ultra Mini-Turbo lasts for 2.633 seconds. <ref> [https://youtu.be/yeju5WcQr8A Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Mini-Turbo Tutorial - Nintendo Switch].

''Mario Kart Tour'' reuses the Mini-Turbo mechanics of ''Mario Kart 7'', with the impossibility of increasing the boost counter in mid-air, but features many additions from ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', in particular the Ultra Mini-Turbos, that cannot be charged when autodrifting, and the internal statistics affecting the duration, strength and boost counter thresholds of the various Mini-Turbo stages, with the time coded in seconds instead of frames. In the [[Penguin Tour]], players can obtain [[event token]]s by performing Mini-Turbos. In 200cc, brake-drifting is no longer possible due to this game's more limited controls.

Some of the game's [[List of challenge cards in Mario Kart Tour|challenges]] require the player to perform a certain number of Mini-Turbos, either in a single race or across multiple races. These challenges can also be completed by performing Super Mini-Turbos and Ultra Mini-Turbos in addition to regular Mini-Turbos.<ref>Koopa con Carne (October 29, 2023).
