| A '''map''' is an [[List of items|item]] used in all of the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' [[Genre#Role-playing|role-playing games]]. It shows [[Mario]]'s current position in a certain area, and is usually received near the start of the game. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', the player could get the [[Beanbean Map]] by defeating the [[Border Bros.]] in a game of [[Border Jump]]. A map is also received at the start of the game in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. In the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], a map is used to travel through each [[world]] and to interconnected worlds in several games.

| In some [[games]], such as ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', the map is more of a feature rather than an item; these maps (which are sometimes called '''map screens''') are mere portals to the other places in the game. Map screens have even appeared in side-scrolling games such as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' (which was the first ''Mario'' game any type of map appeared in) and ''[[Super Mario World]]'', which had a fully connected (or seamless) world map. ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' also features a seamless world map, much like ''Super Mario World''. ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' also features a world map, but in the style of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', as the worlds are separated between each other and are only connected via [[Clear Pipe|Clear Pipes]].

| The ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' map is notable for being both a feature and an item, as it is used as a feature but given to Mario (by the [[Chancellor]]) as if it were an item. The ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the map was similarly "given" to Mario towards the beginning of the game (this time by a [[Pianta]] known to play for the [[Doot Doot Sisters]]), although this Map is not literally given as Mario could use it before it was "received" from the Pianta. [[Luigi]] also used a map to find [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|his mansion]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.

| In ''Super Paper Mario'', the player can purchase maps from [[Flamm]]. These maps will lead Mario and the heroes to hidden treasures throughout the game. All maps are purchased with [[coin]]s. Once the heroes find the area with the hidden treasure, they must use the [[Pixl]] [[Fleep]], move him over the treasure spot on the screen and press {{button|wii|1}} to flip and find the treasure. Many of the treasures are [[Catch Card]]s, and sometimes a character's Catch Card can even be found using a map before the character themself appears in the game, such as [[King Sammer V]], [[Welderberg]], and [[Brobot L-Type]], to name a few.

| In the [[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart Series]], there is a map showing the position of the racers on the track.
| |
| *In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', the maps of all the racers in single player only.
| |
| *In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', there was a map indicating dots of all the racers. Also, the top 4 racers appeared on the left side of the screen. Lastly, there was a line going around the screen to show how much each racer has completed the lap.
| |
| *In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', it had the dot map and the top 4 racers on the left side.
| |
| *In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' also had the top four racers on the left side and a map showing where the rest of the characters were (with pictures, not dots).
| |
| *In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', 2 types of maps were used; each on the touch screen. The first type showed the whole course and where everyone was. The second type showed the part of the race track where the racer was on and all the items/obstacles that appeared on the track. Also, the touchscreen showed which item every racer had.
| |
| *In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' was the same as ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', except it removed the top 4 racers on the left side of the screen.
| |
| *In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', it featured the same map style as ''Mario Kart DS''.
| |
| *In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', there was no map except the one on the GamePad. The GamePad also showed all the items each character had like ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart 7''. In version 2.0, the map is available on the screen.
