Revision as of 13:38, February 8, 2023
Template:More images Falling Pillars[1] are recurring obstacles in the Mario Kart series. They first appeared in Mario Kart Wii on the course Dry Dry Ruins, and have appeared a few times throughout the series since.
History
Mario Kart Wii
Falling Pillars first appear in Dry Dry Ruins in Mario Kart Wii, where they take the form of Egyptian obelisks. In this course, the pillars are decorated with various hieroglyphs depicting various emblems from certain characters such as Mario and Peach. Once a pillar has fallen on the ground, they can be used as ramps, aiding players in performing Jump Boosts and they can be used to perform shortcuts throughout the course too.
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Falling Pillars return in Mario Kart 8, this time they appear on GCN Dry Dry Desert. Here, they look and act more or less identically to how they looked and acted in Mario Kart Wii. Once again, they begin to fall as racers approach them on the second lap, and remain on the ground until the end of the course. Also like before, they can be used as a ramp once they have fallen over.
Mario Kart Tour
