'''Oil slicks'''<ref>"''If you run into an oil slick, you’ll spin out. Steer around them when possible.''" - ''Super Mario Kart'' English instruction booklet, page 29.</ref> are puddles mixed with spilled oil that appear as uncommon obstacles in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] games.

==History==
===''Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race''===
[[File:FGPI Oil slick.png|frame|left]]
Oil slicks make their first appearance in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] in ''[[Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race]]''. Here, they appear whenever unnamed CPU opponents are crashed into twice, retiring their car for the remainder of the race and leaving the oil—colored the same as the car—spilled where they wrecked. In time trial races, they appear in various places and colors in most of the courses. If the player drives over one, they spin out twice, unlike with other obstacles that merely spin them out once. They do not affect CPU drivers.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
In the ''Mario Kart'' series, oil slicks primarily appear on standard road tracks, such as the [[Mario Circuit]] courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', and cause drivers to spin out when they run over them. They are rather small and often placed at the edge of the road. Players can also [[jump]] (using a [[Cape Feather|Feather]]) or [[Hop (move)|hop]] over them. They appear in all but the [[SNES Mario Circuit 1|first Mario Circuit]] in ''Super Mario Kart''.

Oil slicks return in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' on {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}, ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' on {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 2}}, ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|its Nintendo Switch port]] on {{classic-link|GBA|Mario Circuit}}, and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' on SNES Mario Circuit 2 and SNES Mario Circuit 3. In [[Bangkok Rush]] and [[DS Peach Gardens]] R/T, similar ink puddles appear in a section of the course where they are spat out by [[Inky Piranha Plant]]s. Unlike normal oil slicks, these ink puddles cover the screen with ink, similar to [[Blooper]]s.

Oil slicks appear in [[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit#Ver. 1.1.0|version 1.1.0]] of ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]''. Unlike in previous ''Mario Kart'' games, when one is run over, it causes the oil to cover the screen and makes the [[kart]] hard to handle.

===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
Oil slicks also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' in the missions [[Wait Up, Yoshi!]] and [[Fly Guy Flyby]], though they merely slow down [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]].
