Wall ride

Birdo performing a wall ride in DK Spaceport

The wall ride is a technique introduced in Mario Kart World. If the player performs a Jump Boost or Charge Jump while facing a wall, they can briefly drive along it. While performing a wall ride, the player can perform a trick off it onto another nearby wall or back onto the track. If the player does not perform a trick during the wall ride, they fall. Wall-riding onto the top of a thin wall (or any wall with a rail on its top edge) transfers the player into a rail ride.

In Free Roam, some ? Panels can be found on walls, and are intended to be activated using a wall ride.
