A Trick (also called Stunt) is a technical move that first appeared in Mario Kart Wii. After being launched off of a ramp, or driving up the edge of the stage, characters can perform tricks. The higher the fall, the better the trick that can be performed (with the exceptions of Baby Peach and Baby Daisy). After performing a trick, the player will get a speed boost. Tricks can also be executed on Rainbow Ramps. Many basic tricks include the character looking backwards and waving or wagging their feet, but more notable tricks include Yoshi sticking out his tongue, King Boo shrinking and laughing, or Funky Kong's one-handed upside down flip.

Trivia

• In an American commercial for the Nintendo DS, the game Mario Kart DS is featured in a CG animation where Mario is performing a trick over a ramp, which it is inexact as tricks were never introduced in Mario Kart DS.
