'''Boost Pads''' (also called '''Dash Panels'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''[[Prima Games|Prima]] Nintendo DS Pocket Guide'', page 127.</ref>, '''Boost Panels''', '''Boosters''', '''Zippers''', '''Speed Ramps''', '''Rainbow Ramps''', '''Dash Zones''', '''Turbo Tiles'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' #41, page 89.</ref>, and '''Turbo Plates'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' #41, page 89.</ref>) are special panels that appear as a stationary power-up in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. The appearance of these panels have changed throughout the game's history. Boost Pads give powerful speed boosts for the player's [[Kart]], especially to be used to achieve maximum speed on big jumps and slopes. If the player uses a [[Mushroom]] on any of these pads, nothing will happen; however, the player will go faster if the player [[Slipstreaming|slipstreams]] or performs [[Mini-Turbo]] on it.
