''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' use cannons occasionally. ''Mario Kart 8'' is the first ''Mario Kart'' game to add a cannon to a retro track (in this case, replacing the long route in {{classic-link|N64|Yoshi Valley}} with a Cannon). Aside from the aforementioned retro track, [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]] uses a doughnut themed cannon near the beginning of the track, while [[Cloudtop Cruise]] uses an actual cannon to launch racers into the clouds, similar to that of | ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' use cannons occasionally.

Like ''Mario Kart 7'', these are glider segments. | ||
There are additional gliding segments that work like a cannon as they launch racers at a high speed and the gliders can barely be controlled: they include the first gliding section in [[Sunshine Airport]], which launches racers off the runway and onto an anti-gravity platform; the second gliding section in [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]] that takes racers off the second satellite; and the second glider segment in [[Big Blue]] to transition from the second to the third segment. | There are additional gliding segments that work like a cannon as they launch racers at a high speed and the gliders can barely be controlled: they include the first gliding section in [[Sunshine Airport]], which launches racers off the runway and onto an anti-gravity platform; the second gliding section in [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]] that takes racers off the second satellite; and the second glider segment in [[Big Blue]] to transition from the second to the third segment. | ||
<small>GCN</small> Daisy Cruiser returns in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', retaining its removal of its cannon from ''Mario Kart 7''. In addition, the end of the long ramp of <small>N64</small> Royal Raceway no longer works like a cannon, and is now a regular glider ramp, preceded by a couple of Dash Panels. {{classic-link|Tour|Athens Dash}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Vancouver Velocity}} have also had their cannons removed, being replaced with standard gliding sections. | |||

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', a silver barrel cannon is used on [[3DS Rainbow Road|3DS Rainbow Road R]] to launch drivers off the planet section. The aforementioned cannon returns in [[Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway T]], where there are two present. Like the cannons in ''Mario Kart 7'' and onward, this cannon makes use of a gliding panel. In the normal and R variants of [[Vancouver Velocity|Vancouver Velocity 2]], a red and yellow circus cannon with a lit fuse appears in {{wp|Rogers Arena}} and launches the player to the autumn section of the course in the normal variant and appears in the autumn area to launch players into Rogers Arena in the reverse variant. A similar blue circus cannon appears in Singapore Speedway and its reverse variant, launching players to the top of {{wp|Marina Bay Sands}}. | In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', a silver barrel cannon is used on [[3DS Rainbow Road|3DS Rainbow Road R]] to launch drivers off the planet section.

Additionally, N64 Yoshi Valley, GCN DK Mountain, DS Waluigi Pinball, DS Airship Fortress, Wii DK Summit, Wii Maple Treeway, and Wii Rainbow Road retain their cannons, complete with the Glide Ramps, although GCN DK Mountain, Wii DK Summit, and Wii Rainbow Road introduced the Glide Ramp in their ''Mario Kart Tour'' versions. Similarly, N64 Royal Raceway and GCN Daisy Cruiser kept the removal of their respective cannon sections from their respective reintroductions in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 7''. | Additionally, N64 Yoshi Valley, GCN DK Mountain, DS Waluigi Pinball, DS Airship Fortress, Wii DK Summit, Wii Maple Treeway, and Wii Rainbow Road retain their cannons, complete with the Glide Ramps, although GCN DK Mountain, Wii DK Summit, and Wii Rainbow Road introduced the Glide Ramp in their ''Mario Kart Tour'' versions.
