The appearance of these panels has changed throughout the series' history. Dash Panels give powerful bursts of speed for the player's [[kart]] and are often used to achieve maximum speed on big jumps and slopes, as well as to gain advantage over opponents. If the player uses a [[Mushroom]] or a [[Mini-Turbo]] on any of these panels, nothing will happen; however, the player will go faster if they [[slipstream]] over one.
