Music Bashes are a species in the Mario Kart series. They first appear in Mario Kart 7. Prior to Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, they were named Bouncing Notes.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

Music Bashes have the appearance of large, black eighth notes. Their facial features consist of entirely white eyes, an orange, button nose, and a white mouth.

Behavior[]

Music Bashes bounce in tune with the melody of the course's theme. Upon landing, a Music Bash creates waves that lift all racers on their section up a little. Three metronome-like ticks play before Music Bashes can be heard before they land. Bouncing Notes bounce faster during the final lap.

In Mario Kart series[]

Mario Kart 7[]

Bouncing Notes are encountered toward the end of Music Park. A racer can perform a trick whenever a Bouncing Note creates waves upon landing. If a Bouncing Note lands on a racer, they are flattened.

Mario Kart 8/Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[]

Bouncing Notes retain their role from Mario Kart 7. Aside from them, smaller Bouncing Notes appear near the finish line as spectators of the race.

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit[]

Music Bashes are encountered in Music Broadway, where they bounce back and forth on the xylophone keys.
