Dash Food plays a much bigger role in Mario Kart World than simply giving your kart an extra burst of speed. These bright orange bags work as collectible power-ups scattered across the world, and each food type can also unlock new outfits for specific characters — making them a major part of progression.
If you’re trying to complete your wardrobe or simply want quick boosts while free-roaming, knowing where each Dash Food item appears saves a lot of time.
How Dash Food Works
Before jumping into the map spots, it helps to know what each food does:
- Every Dash Food gives a speed boost similar to a mushroom.
- Most food types can unlock costumes, depending on the character you’re playing.
- Portion size increases your boost, but doesn’t affect which costume you get.
- Yoshi-run vendors often offer regional snacks, and some snacks have multiple variants that unlock different outfits.
You can also switch characters instantly from the Free Roam menu, which lets you farm a single food vendor for several costumes in minutes.

1. Tire Donuts
Best Locations:
- Choco Mountain
- Peach Stadium

A Burger stall sits just beside the starting line, right under the ticketing booth. Fast-traveling here places you only a few steps away from the vendor.
3. Shish Kebab
Best Locations:

Whistlestop Summit is the fastest option. The shop sits just beneath the train tracks after the first underpass.

Best Location:
- Moo Moo Meadows
Head past the barn to find a dairy stand on the road behind it.
