The boost counter can be also increased when autodrifting, although in this case the rate is 2.5 times slower than the charging rate while drifting and the boost is immediately released as soon as the autodrift ends. | The boost counter can be also increased when autodrifting, although in this case the rate is 2.5 times slower than the charging rate while drifting and the boost is immediately released as soon as the autodrift ends. | ||

''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' introduces a fourth level of Mini-Turbo known as '''Ultra Mini-Turbo''', that is indicated by purple (pink in the British English version) sparks and a purple glow in anti-gravity mode, and grants a boost that is even longer than the one of the Super Mini-Turbo. This kind of Mini-Turbo can only be performed if Smart Steering is disabled. Ultra Mini-Turbo also has a slightly different sound effect that indicates its charge. Brake drifting is also notably more effective in 200cc. | ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' introduces a fourth level of Mini-Turbo known as '''Ultra Mini-Turbo''', that is indicated by purple (pink in the British English version) sparks and a purple glow in anti-gravity mode, and grants a boost that is even longer than the one of the Super Mini-Turbo.

''Mario Kart Tour'' reuses the Mini-Turbo mechanics of ''Mario Kart 7'', with the impossibility of increasing the boost counter in mid-air, but features many additions from ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', in particular the Ultra Mini-Turbos, that cannot be charged when autodrifting, and the internal statistics affecting the duration, strength and boost counter thresholds of the various Mini-Turbo stages, with the time coded in seconds instead of frames. In the [[Penguin Tour]], players can obtain [[event token]]s by performing Mini-Turbos.

Some of the game's [[List of challenge cards in Mario Kart Tour|challenges]] require the player to perform a certain number of Mini-Turbos, either in a single race or across multiple races. These challenges can also be completed by performing Super Mini-Turbos and Ultra Mini-Turbos in addition to regular Mini-Turbos.<ref>Koopa con Carne (October 29, 2023).
