Glide Ramps are introduced in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as part of the gliding function, where they are used in numerous courses throughout the game. As well as being used in all of the new courses except for [[3DS Rosalina's Ice World|Rosalina's Ice World]], Glide Ramps are also used in most of the retro courses, replacing longer jumps and [[Cannon (Mario Kart series)|cannons]] and also to replace or provide alternative routes for some sections of the courses. Some sections are also entirely replaced with a Glide Ramp, such as the bouncing net at the end of {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}}. The only retro courses that do not use Glide Ramps are {{classic-link|N64|Luigi Raceway}}, {{classic-link|GCN|Daisy Cruiser}}, and {{classic-link|SNES|Rainbow Road}}. Although most Glide Ramps remain in the same position, [[3DS Toad Circuit|Toad Circuit]] and {{classic-link|GBA|Bowser Castle 1}} have a Glide Ramp that emerges from the ground after an amount of time, usually after the first lap. Additionally, the [[Music Bash|Bouncing Note]] section in [[3DS Music Park|Music Park]] has a pair of ramps that change position every so often, leaving just a lower regular white ramp when they change height and side. The Glide Ramp will flash before changing, but can still be glided from when it is flashing. As well as the ramps, one of the [[Mushroom Trampoline]]s in {{classic-link|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}} has now been recolored blue and functions the same way as a ramp, as once the player bounces off it, the Glider will be deployed and the player can glide over the remainder of the cave instead of bouncing over more mushrooms.

Glide Ramps reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', where they appear and function like in ''Mario Kart 7''. The ramps are used in the courses [[Peach Castle (race course)|Peach Castle]], [[Kingdom Way]], [[NAMCO Circuit]], [[Bananan Labyrinth]], [[DK Jungle (Mario Kart Arcade GP DX)|DK Jungle]], [[Aerial Road]], [[Sky Arena]], and [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart Arcade GP DX)|Bowser's Castle]]. As ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP VR]]'' reuses course elements from its predecessor, Glide Ramps also appear in this game.

Glide Ramps reappear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where they serve the same purpose as in ''Mario Kart 7''. They are integrated into all of the new courses except [[Toad Harbor]], [[Excitebike Arena]], [[Dragon Driftway]], and [[Mute City]]. They use the same design from ''Mario Kart 7'', except in [[Twisted Mansion]], where they use a cyan Dash Panel design. The ramps are also included in much of the retro courses, such as replacing the original boosted ramp in {{classic-link|N64|Royal Raceway}} and being on the [[dash panel ramp truck]] in {{classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}}. The rising Glide Ramp returns in {{classic-link|3DS|Toad Circuit}}, [[Merry Mountain]], and {{classic-link|Tour|Rome Avanti}}, and the special lowering twin Glide Ramps return in {{classic-link|3DS|Music Park}} and {{classic-link|DS|Tick-Tock Clock}}; the lowered Glide Ramp becomes black in this game. In courses where the layout changes between laps, Glide Ramps can appear in a lap where it was not previously; this happens in {{classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Sydney Sprint}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Berlin Byways}}, {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}}, and {{classic-link|Tour|Singapore Speedway}}.

Glide Ramps appear once again in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where they serve the same function as their previous appearances. Just like in ''Mario Kart 7'', ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', Glide Ramps were implemented into retro tracks that previously lacked them, with the most prominent example being found on the remake of [[N64 Choco Mountain]], where the section before the [[boulder]]s was replaced with a giant pit where racers must glide over to get past it. Like normal ramps, players automatically trick off of them once they are driven over. The rising Glide Ramp also appears in [[3DS Toad Circuit]], [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways 2]], [[Tour London Loop|London Loop 3]], the R/T variant of [[3DS Rosalina's Ice World]], and the R variant of [[GCN Waluigi Stadium]]. In some courses, they can lower in addition to rising, like the twin Glide Ramps from [[3DS Music Park|Music Park]] from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.
