In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Boost Pads once again appear as a rainbow-colored panels, but this time it scrolls forwards, rather than changing colors over time. In this game the Boost Pads are more rare and only available in certain courses, similar to ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''. Games older than ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' keep the original booster design (like in [[Bowser Castle 2 (GBA)|GBA Bowser Castle 2]]). | In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Boost Pads once again appear as a rainbow-colored panels, but this time it scrolls forwards, rather than changing colors over time.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', they have a similar design to ''Double Dash!!'' but in most courses the color only changes from red, orange, yellow and back to red through the color spectrum. Many retro courses from games older than ''Double Dash!!'' that contains Boost Pads keep the original design (two examples are DK's Jungle Parkway and Mario Circuit 3). | In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', they have a similar design to ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' but in most courses the color only changes from red, orange, yellow and back to red through the color spectrum.

Objects that behave similarly to a boost pad in the ''Mario Kart'' series appear in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', where they are known as [[Diddy Kong Racing DS#Zippers|Zippers]]. Owing to the different types of vehicles available, there are three types of Zippers: grounded ones shaped like arrows, aerial ones shaped like rings, and waterborne ones shaped like half a ring (with the flat side on the water's surface). Hovercrafts and planes can use all types of Zippers, but cars can only use grounded ones; concurrently, some Zippers do not appear if no player is using a vehicle that can reach them. | Objects that behave similarly to a boost pad in the ''Mario Kart'' series appear in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', where they are known as [[Diddy Kong Racing DS#Zippers|Zippers]].

These objects make their debut in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', for the [[Wii U]]. This time, they are square-shaped, and feature a pixelated diamond animation. Once a character runs on it, it will blink and give them a boost. Boosted characters cannot stop running or crouch (and so cannot [[Long Jump (move)|long jump]]), and cannot make direction changes any sharper than 90 degrees without first being in the air. All characters run at the same speed when boosted. Jumping will slow boosted characters down slightly, especially if an ability such as floating is used, but they'll immediately return to full speed upon landing if the boost has not yet run out. | These objects make their debut in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', for the [[Wii U]].
