I did some testing to be sure, but, I noticed a short speed boost after not doing a trick on these "Trick Ramps". It is shorter than with a trick. However, one can't get a speed boost if just touching it. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 23:07, 15 January 2018 (EST) | I did some testing to be sure, but, I noticed a short speed boost after not doing a trick on these "Trick Ramps".

:OK, I wasn't 100% sure on that part, but I did know you couldn't touch one to get one. However, if there is one, it's definitely smaller than that provided by the Dash Panel and I think it's only there to give the propulsion required to get in the air. I've edited the proposal slightly to reflect that (It's still in the six day window), and I'll definitely make sure it's included in the final article.

I think I may have found an official name for the "Trick Ramp" from the ''Mario Kart Wii'' website descriptions: | |||
*Waluigi Stadium: ''"The plentiful bumps and hills - plus new '''half-pipe boost pads''' - make this the best track for tricks."'' | |||
*DK's Snowboard Cross (American description): ''"A challenging downhill course with a long series of '''halfpipe-style boost ramps''' for tricking over heavy snow banks." | |||
*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.
