In the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'', the British Museum makes a small appearance as a landmark on the London Party map as well as being the image on the sticker for the [[2-on-2 Shell Showdown!]] minigame. 

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|version]] of the game, the British Museum serves a much larger role, appearing as the location for two of the Story Mode episodes.

The museum is mentioned by [[Rouge]] in [[The Mysterious Thief]], where she claims she was visiting the museum when [[Dr. Eggman]] arrived with a [[fog machine]] and brainwashed her, and also by [[Jet (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Jet]] in [[Enter Bowser?!]], who points out that there is [[Phantasmal Fog]] there and suggests that [[Sonic]] and [[Tails]] should investigate it. [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], Sonic and Tails first arrive outside the British Museum in [[Mario and Sonic (episode)|Mario and Sonic]], where the group finds the purple Phantasmal Fog and share their findings, before defeating a group of [[imposter]]s. Mario and Sonic then open the gates of the museum and the group head into the courtyard.

In [[The Secret of the Fog]], the group search the courtyard for a fog machine and find [[Eggman Nega]], who leaves after being defeated. Mario and Sonic find and destroy the fog machine, clearing the fog from the Museum, and head inside, where Tails finds out that Dr. Eggman had visited its library and borrowed a book containing information about the [[fog urn]], which had been recently stolen from the museum. The group area approached by [[Espio]] and [[Charmy]], who ask for their help defeating [[Bowser]] and Dr. Eggman's minions who are causing trouble around the city, and then split up before leaving the museum.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
The British Museum is one of the numerous landmarks seen throughout [[London]] in the [[Tour London Loop|London Loop]] courses in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Specifically, racers drive past the museum only in London Loop 2, and its respective variants.

London Loop returns as a classic course in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] downloadable content; as such, the British Museum returns as a landmark. This time, racers drive past the museum in the second lap of the course.
