'''Anti-gravity''' is a mechanic in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. When drivers are in anti-gravity mode, they slightly hover above the ground and can drive on walls and upside-down, and their [[tire]]s turn sideways and glow blue; certain vehicles have blue glows and lights in other places, including the engine in some cases. Some vehicles will also change shape in anti-gravity mode, such as the [[Koopa Clown]] activating a pair of propellers and the [[Streetle]]’s wings opening. While in anti-gravity mode, drivers can receive [[Spin Boost]]s by bumping into other drivers or [[Spin Boost Pillar]]s. | '''Anti-gravity''', also written as '''antigravity''', is a mechanic in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

Characters and vehicle parts have different top speed and handling stats in anti-gravity mode, which are not shown by the game. When in anti-gravity mode, the anti-gravity stats are used, regardless of whether or not the anti-gravity segment takes place [[Underwater driving|underwater]] (such as in [[Twisted Mansion]]). However, even when anti-gravity is active, the vehicles' top speed and traction are still affected by off-road terrain and slippery surfaces. | Characters and vehicle parts have different top speed and handling stats in anti-gravity mode, which are not shown by the game.

Most courses featuring anti-gravity have designated sections in which it is activated that start with [[Antigravity Panel]]s, though there are some courses set entirely in anti-gravity with all drivers already in anti-gravity mode at the start. [[Wild Woods]] uniquely starts in an anti-gravity section with all drivers already in anti-gravity mode but is not entirely set in anti-gravity. The first time a driver enters an anti-gravity section, they will audibly react to this, usually saying something related to the activation of anti-gravity mode. | Most courses featuring anti-gravity have designated sections in which it is activated that start with [[Antigravity Panel]]s, though there are some courses set entirely in anti-gravity with all drivers already in anti-gravity mode at the start.

In the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass | In the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'', [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipe]]s take the appearance of Antigravity Panels and cause drivers who jump off of them to be in anti-gravity mode until they land (though they will still remain in anti-gravity mode afterward if they land in an anti-gravity section). | ||
Every [[new course]] in the games except [[Excitebike Arena]], [[Animal Crossing]], [[Super Bell Subway]], and [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] features anti-gravity, with [[Mute City]], [[Big Blue]], and [[Sky-High Sundae]] entirely taking place in anti-gravity.

Additionally, 27 [[classic course]]s feature anti-gravity (7 from the ''Mario Kart 8'' base game, 5 from its DLC, and 15 from the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass''): | ||
