Music Bashes, formerly referred to as Bouncing Notes,[1] are a species in the Mario Kart series. They are giant musical notes encountered towards the end of Music Park in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. They bounce in tune with the melody and, once they land, create waves that lift all racers on their section up a little; a trick can be performed when this happens. Anyone beneath Bouncing Notes when they land, however, is flattened. Three ticks, similar to the sound of a metronome, can be heard before they land. Bouncing Notes notably bounce faster when the timer is reached, most commonly on the third lap. In Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, smaller Bouncing Notes appear near the finish line as spectators of the race.
In Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, Music Bashes (renamed as such in this game for the first time) appear on the course Music Broadway.
