*DK's Snowboard Cross (European description): ''"The giant cannon that fires you to the mountaintop is just the first part of an incredible trip on this snow-covered track. Avoid the deepest drifts and look out for snowboarders as you '''pull off stunts on the half-pipe'''!"

So... do you reckon we go for "Half-pipe Boost Pads" or "Halfpipe-style Boost Ramps"? I'll mention it's known as both in the article, and obviously we've now got the sources, but which one should we use? Personally, I'm leaning towards Halfpipe-style Boost Ramps, as it does mention the ramp element and they aren't always used on half pipes.

:Actually, they are not boost pads at all, I tested with {{media link|Yoshi Artwork - Mario Kart Wii.png|this awesome combination}} and I can tell you this:

:*compared to the non-ramp section of [[Wario's Gold Mine]] (you get both ramp and non-ramp section at the beginning, on the left), when you go on the boost ramps you go higher and you're able to perform tricks

:*the visible boost (the one with the flames from the exhaust pipes) is only obtained when you land, even if you actually land outside of the boost ramps, actually, in [[Waluigi Stadium (GCN)|GCN Waluigi Stadium]] you can even land on the parapets and you still get the full boost

:**said boost at landing lasts longer when you perform the trick, but it's still present even if you don't perform it

:*the trick performed is considered an high speed trick, i.e. the one performed after ramps with boost pads, that includes the vehicle rotating before the trick and the two special animations exclusive to this kind of tricks (the up and down animations)

:*finally, as a comparison, the ramps with boost pads give you an high speed trick as well, but they immediately give you the speed boost while going on them and if no trick is performed, there is no speed boost when landing

:I think ''halfpipe-style boost ramps'' is more appropriate as you only get the boost boost after landing, even if you don't actually land on the ramps. Eventually we'll get the PRIMA guide and hopefully we'll find the proper term.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 08:58, 16 January 2018 (EST)
