An '''emblem''' is a symbol that appears on an item used by a specific character in many of the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' spinoff and main series titles, usually representing said character in some fashion; for example, [[Mario]]'s emblem is the red ''M'' that is sewn on [[Mario Cap|his cap]], whereas that of [[Yoshi]] is [[Yoshi's Egg|his egg]].

In the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'']] series, emblems first appeared in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' in the barrels of the 4-Player [[minigame]] [[Sneak 'n' Snore]]. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', they appear in the planes of the minigame [[Aces High]]. In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', emblems cam be seen in the vehicles of the minigame [[Mario Speedwagons]]. In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', they are used to denote who controls [[Character Space]]s (created when someone places an [[Orb]] on a space); when using team-based rulesets, the game instead uses one of two or four preset team emblems. They also appear in [[Windmillville]], denoting ownership of a particular windmill and the [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s tied to it. In the minigame [[Air Farce]], emblems are depicted in each character's hang glider. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', an emblem appears next to the character to indicate when it is their turn during gameplay; [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]] also uses a similar mechanic to the aforementioned Windmillville, using each character's emblem to denote ownership of the hotels. The game also includes the minigame [[Stampede (minigame)|Stampede]], where the player must stamp their character's emblem onto blank sheets of paper. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', emblems appear on the flags of the minigame [[Peak Precision]], and in the results table in the minigame [[Castle Clearout]] when played with two players. In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', emblems are used in the minigame [[Snag the Flags]], where the flags are replaced by the emblem of the character that captures them.

Emblems have been used in the [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'']] series since ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], with each character's racket having their emblem inked on its strings.

Emblems first appear in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', in which certain [[kart]]s have their driver's emblem present on the kart's body. Starting in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', each character has a distinct, more streamlined emblem. Like in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', a character's emblem may be present on their vehicle, with many vehicles (as well as, starting with ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', certain [[glider]]s) having designated spots where the driver's emblem is displayed. In ''Mario Kart 7'', the driver's emblem is also displayed in the center of their steering wheel in [[First-Person View]], and in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the horn on the [[Wii U]] GamePad has the driver's emblem on it with a corresponding colored background. ''Mario Kart DS'' also uniquely features emblem customization, allowing players to create their own emblems using the [[Nintendo DS]] Touch Screen, which would be displayed during online games.

Emblems are featured on [[Goal Pole]]s and [[Checkpoint Flag]]s in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'']] series of platformers starting with ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. When a character touches a Goal Pole or a Checkpoint Flag, the emblem on it (usually [[Bowser]]'s emblem) will be replaced with their own, and the flag will change color to match the character as well.

Emblems also appear in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'']] series on flags and emblems (not to be confused with the symbols themselves). The ''Super Mario'' characters have their usual emblems, while most of the ''[[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' characters (with the exceptions of [[Dr. Eggman]] and [[Eggman Nega]]) use silhouettes of their faces, entirely in one color besides the eyes, at a different angle and with a colored background.
