Zip Tracks are objects that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They appear as blocky platforms in varying widths with white chevrons moving along their front. When a player, item, or enemy touches a Zip Track, it is immediately launched in the direction indicated by the chevrons, similarly to a Dash Panel. When hit from below, Zip Tracks can be grabbed on to and ridden in the direction indicated. Jumping while grabbing from below causes the player to fall back off. Zip Tracks can also be oriented vertically, and they carry the player and objects up or down walls as indicated.

Most Zip Tracks are colored orange, but other colorations appear. Blue Zip Tracks are seen in places where contact is discouraged and would lose progress, such as Badge Challenge Wall-Climb Jump II. Red and blue Zip Tracks appear in pairs in Color-Switch Dungeon, where after the player hits an ON/OFF Switch, these Zip Tracks swap colors and direction, akin to Conveyor Belts in Super Mario Maker 2.

When a player steps on a Zip Track, their respective controller plays a looping sound as the player dashes, using the Joy-Con or the Pro Controller's vibration function. Marimba Blocks also trigger sounds on the controller when stepped on.
