| '''Spin Boost Pillars'''<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]] [[Prima Games|Prima]]'' Starter's Guide|page=9}}</ref> are objects found in many courses in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They are found only in [[anti-gravity]] areas, and their appearance usually changes depending on the course they are found on. When a racer drives into one, they perform a [[Spin Boost]] (spinning and gaining a short speed boost), similar to what happens when two racers bump into each other in anti-gravity. Certain other objects can also act as Spin Boost Pillars, such as the wheels of the [[submarine]]s in [[Water Park]] and the [[Mine Cart|minecarts]] in {{classic link|Wii|Wario's Gold Mine}}, as well as the pillars and handrails in [[Sky-High Sundae]] (the latter of which can notably be used consecutively for multiple Spin Boosts from one object). In [[Hyrule Circuit]], all three Spin Boost Pillars on the castle's stairs being driven into within a short period of time create a [[Dash Panel]] ramp in the next room that leads racers over the central platform where the [[Master Sword]], which also functions as a Spin Boost Pillar once passed through, is located. | | '''Spin Boost Pillars'''<ref>''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]] [[Prima Games|Prima]]'' Starter's Guide, page 9</ref> are objects found in many courses in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

[[Sky-High Sundae]] features handrails that act as Spin Boost Pillars that can be repeatedly activated in one go. |
