Yoshi's Dash Foods Explained

Dash Food bags are a unique, orange-colored pickup item typically found outside Yoshi-themed eateries and restaurants, both during races and while roaming the open world.

In most situations, Dash Food bags are themed around the region in which you're in, and can contain upwards of three different tiers of the same food--typically, the bigger the food platter, the larger the speed boost.

In addition to speed boosts, each unique food type will, depending on the character you're playing as, unlock a brand-new outfit for your character, which is sometimes themed around the food you're eating.

It's worth noting that there is one exception to this rule, as we've found that Yoshi's Snacks contains three unique food items — Soda, Chips, and Chocolate, and these can all unlock multiple outfits, which appear to be random.

However, since not all characters have the same amount of unlockable outfits, not all Food Bags will unlock the same type of outfit across characters, and some may only provide a speed boost. Creatures like Goombas, Cows, and Dolphins also cannot gain Outfits, and only get speed boosts from Food Bags.

Important Tip: How to Farm Outfit Unlocks

As we've mentioned, certain foods can be used to unlock outfit variations for multiple characters. For example, Tire Donuts can be picked up and consumed by Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi to unlock their All-Terrain and Pro Racer outfit variants.

So, with this in mind, it's possible to essentially farm outfits by visiting food vendors, consuming the food, and then immediately switching characters (which is seamless and requires no load times) via the Change Character option in the Free Roam menu.

Simply rinse and repeat, and you'll have all character outfits unlocked in no time at all.

Keep track of which food unlocks which outfit with our comprehensive List of Characters, NPC Drivers, and Outfits Guide.

In total, we've found 19 unique food types in Mario Kart World, which range from Burgers, Pizza, Fish and Chips, Curries, and Snacks.
