'''Cars''' in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] appear as obstacles in urban- or highway-themed courses. They typically travel at a constant speed along with the rest of the traffic. They always follow a set path; when traveling along a multi-lane road with other traffic, they will typically drive in the middle of their respective lanes and use turn signals if switching lanes, making their behavior very predictable. If the player hits a moving car, they will usually flip over and, in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', lose their item. They cannot be destroyed or removed, but they can usually be launched into the air by driving into them while using a [[Super Star]], [[Bullet Bill]], [[Chain Chomp]], or [[Mega Mushroom]], or by hitting them with a [[Super Horn]], [[Super Bell]], [[Giga Bob-omb]], [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], or [[Bowser's Shell|Bowser Shell]]. Moving cars may also honk their horns if they hit an item or the player. However, some courses may have stationary cars, which display none of the above properties and will merely act as walls when a player runs into them. | '''Cars''' in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] appear as obstacles in urban- or highway-themed courses.

In Mission 4-3, Mario must race against a red car to the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]] on Shroom Ridge.

{{classic link|Wii|Coconut Mall}}'s red convertibles return once again and are now occupied by [[Shy Guy]]s. They behave differently than in prior titles. Originally, they could no longer move, being parked on the sides of the track while facing drivers diagonally. Rather than causing racers to spin out, they merely acted as walls. This was changed in the 2.1.0 update. In all modes other than [[Mario Kart (series)#Modes of play|Time Trials]], the Shy Guys will drive back and forth. Occasionally, they will do donuts, and if a player hits one at that time, they will flip over as usual. | {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}}'s red convertibles return once again and are now occupied by [[Shy Guy]]s.

On New York Minute, they take the appearance of taxis and are found just before the final turn on laps 1 and 2.

Moving cars also appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' on [[GCN Mushroom Bridge]] and its R variant, [[DS Shroom Ridge]] and its R variant, [[Wii Moonview Highway]] and all its variants, and [[Tour Berlin Byways]] and its R and R/T variants. The courses generally feature red, green, blue, and white cars; the former two have new designs while the latter two are similar to the design used in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. The new design of the red and green cars resembles a real-world subcompact car from the 1980s, specifically the fourth generation {{wp|Toyota Starlet}}. In this game, instead of making racers flip over, moving cars simply slow them down as a wall would; they are otherwise similar to those of previous ''Mario Kart'' games. When taken out by a player, they give "Car" bonus points. [[Bob-omb Car]]s also return on the normal and T variants of Moonview Highway and Mushroom Bridge. | Moving cars also appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' on [[GCN Mushroom Bridge]] and its R variant, [[DS Shroom Ridge]] and its R variant, [[Wii Moonview Highway]] and all its variants, and [[Tour Berlin Byways]] and its R and R/T variants.
