Mario driving a kart in anti-gravity mode.

Anti-gravity is a fundamental game mechanic introduced in Mario Kart 8. When drivers are in anti-gravity mode, they can drive upside-down as well as on walls and various other surfaces. Additionally, drivers receive a speed boost whenever they bump into other drivers or designated obstacles. Drivers enter anti-gravity mode when they pass over blue panels in the road akin to Boost Pads. While driving in anti-gravity mode, the wheels of the player's vehicle turn so that they are on their sides. Every nitro course in the game is given an anti-gravity section, likely to fully incorporate the new feature. However, only seven retro courses are given this feature- Mario Circuit (GBA), Toad's Turnpike, DK Jungle, Wario Stadium (DS), Sherbet Land (GCN), Piranha Plant Slide, and Rainbow Road (N64).
