Kanaami Road: Difference between revisions

{{dev data}}

In R variants, they are placed to assist the player in going upwards in areas where racers jump or glide down from a height, or sometimes at the end of [[glider]] or [[Cannon (Mario Kart series)|cannon]] sections to give more space for the player to land. In T variants, their main use is instead to enable more [[Mini-Turbo]]s, [[Jump Boost]]s, and [[Dash Panel]] boosts, which in turn provides more actions for the game's combo and point-earning system. In some variations of courses, they are used to take racers outside the normal bounds of the track. Kanaami Roads are also frequently the startpoint and/or endpoint of [[Glider Challenge]]s.

Kanaami Roads reappear in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' via the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', mostly in the aforementioned cases where ''Mario Kart Tour'' incorporated them as a normal part of the track geometry. However, {{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}} has a Kanaami Road appear on its second lap to turn racers onto the train tracks. This Kanaami Road is invisible and intangible to racers not on lap two, so a player that is sufficiently behind or ahead may see racers driving on thin air.

 

The word "Kanaami" itself is a romanization of「金網」, which is Japanese for "wire mesh", such as that of [[Chain-Link]]s.
