Anti-gravity

Anti-gravity is a fundamental game mechanic introduced in Mario Kart 8. When drivers are in anti-gravity mode, they can drive up and upside-down walls and other surfaces, as indicated by a specific blue panel in the road akin to a Boost Pad and when the vehicle's wheels transform so that they are on their sides. A mechanic exclusive to players in anti-gravity mode is a speed boost whenever two or more players bump into other players in anti-gravity mode or in designated obstacles. When two or more players bump into one another, they both get a speed boost, either helping them cooperate or be more competitive.
