Ceiling Needles

Ceiling Needles^[1]^{[better source needed]} are obstacles in theNinja Hideaway course ofMario Kart Tour and theBooster Course Pass DLC inMario Kart 8 Deluxe. They are largeshuriken lined on the bottom side of broad platforms which rise and lower at set intervals, sticking the shuriken into the floor below at their lowest point. If run into, the Ceiling Needles cause drivers who are not in a powered-up state to spin out. Ceiling Needles cannot be taken out, but racers can land and drive on top of their platforms from the track's upper level.

Three platforms with Ceiling Needles appear consecutively in the manor portion of the course; inMario Kart Tour, they also appear in the same positions on the course's R variant, but are absent in the T and R/T variants. The third platform with Ceiling Needles, as counted in the course's regular variant, has aramp on top of it in bothMario Kart Tour andMario Kart 8 Deluxe.
