A '''ring''' is an air-based, speed-boosting object that first appeared in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. They are typically found on longer gliding segments and provide a boost of speed when the player drives through them, but can also be found on regular jumps and act as air-based [[Dash Panel]]s. While the design of the rings varies between games and courses, they all share the same unique sound when glided through, similar to the ones made by the [[Launch Star]]s in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''{{'}}s [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]]. There are many types of rings, being the normal rings, '''Star Rings''', '''Boost Rings''', and the [[Dash Ring]] item. They function almost identically to the [[Plane]] Zippers from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|remake]]. | A '''ring''' is an air-based, speed-boosting object that first appeared in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

Rings also appear in several different courses in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Three appear in the jump section near the start of [[Dolphin Shoals]], which are yellow and have four pointed sections coming off them. These rings are reached by jumping from the ramps beneath them, and the [[Dolphin]]s will occasionally jump through these rings. Another three appear on the ski-jump like gliding section towards the end of the third section of [[Mount Wario]]. These rings are silver with orange parts which say "Mount Wario" in white writing and a propeller on the top which is attached to the ring by an orange exclamation mark in a blue oval. Four Star Rings have been added in {{classic-link|N64|Rainbow Road}}; two in the first gliding segment in the first section of the track, and two others before the final stretch positioned on the ground. Another pair of rings appear in [[Big Blue]], where they appear on the second jump of section two, and are similar to the [[Mount Wario]] ones in design, except now reading "Big Blue", lacking the exclamation mark and using a more futuristic looking design, with the blue antigravity glow due to the section being in [[anti-gravity]]. | Rings also appear in several different courses in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.

Yellow rings appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' in the [[Ring Race]] bonus challenges. They provide a small burst of speed when passed through, and the player is required to pass through a certain number of rings in order to pass the challenge. These rings also make an appearance in some [[Break Item Boxes]] bonus challenges, where passing through them makes more [[Item Box]]es appear. | Yellow rings appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' in the [[Ring Race]] bonus challenges.

Several different types of rings appear in regular races. Star Rings appear in [[RMX Rainbow Road 1]], [[SNES Rainbow Road|SNES Rainbow Road R/T]], [[3DS Rainbow Road]], [[RMX Rainbow Road 2|RMX Rainbow Road 2T, RMX Rainbow Road 2R/T]], and [[Wii Rainbow Road]], usually found in gliding sections or near [[ramp]]s (in Wii Rainbow Road, they are paired with Dash Panels like in the course's original appearance); they award bonus points when passed through, in addition to providing a brief speed boost like the bonus challenge rings. The entry and exit points of the glider tunnel in Wii Rainbow Road also give points marked as "Star Ring", although they do not provide bursts of speed. Boost Rings appear in the gliding section of [[Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway, Singapore Speedway 2T, Singapore Speedway 3T | Several different types of rings appear in regular races.

Another type of ring, known as the [[Dash Ring]], appears as the [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] of several drivers; when used, three rings travel forward (five if Dash Ring+ is activated), and any player who passes through them will receive a small boost and earn points. | ||
