'''Ramps''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are objects | '''Ramps''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are objects found on various courses in every game of the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series, and seldomly other games in the franchise. Ramps make their first ''Super Mario'' appearance in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', where racers can use them to jump high into the air if used correctly, allowing them to cross long drops or distances. '''Boosted ramps''' are ramps paired with [[Dash Panel]]s to allow racers to reach even longer distances and perform higher jumps. Starting with ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', characters can perform [[Jump Boost|trick]]s with a trick button that varies with the control scheme. Ramps also appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. [[Glide Ramp]]s also appear from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' onwards, and they automatically deploy the [[kart]]'s [[Glider]] when driven over. | ||

Ramps in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' are colored identically to [[Dash Panel|Dash Zone]]s. Two are seen in [[N64 Koopa Troopa Beach|Koopa Troopa Beach]]. One ramp leads to a tunnel that serves as a shortcut, while the other leads to an [[Item Box]] that only gives out [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s. Non-colored ramps on [[Wario Stadium]] serve only to make the course bumpy, though one large ramp sends players over a previous section. If players are not careful or are hit by a [[Super Star|Star]] or [[Lightning]] while over that particular ramp, they may fall down and must make their way up again. Large ramps with Dash Zones in [[N64 DK's Jungle Parkway|DK's Jungle Parkway]] and [[N64 Royal Raceway|Royal Raceway]] speed players up and send them flying to a different section of the course. | Ramps in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' are colored identically to [[Dash Panel|Dash Zone]]s.
