An '''Emblem''' is a symbol that appears on a Kart or Bike in [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']]. The emblem in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', is customizable, but in other ''Mario Kart'' games, they're character exclusive only.

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]].
==History==
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.


==Emblem List==
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.
===[[Mario Kart Wii]]===


*[[Baby Mario]]: A red ''M''.
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.
*[[Baby Luigi]]: A green ''L''.
*[[Baby Peach]]: Peach's crown.
*[[Baby Daisy]]: Daisy's signature flower.
*[[Toad]]: His own head. (sometimes a [[1-Up Mushroom]])
*[[Toadette]]: Her own head
*[[Koopa Troopa]]: A [[Green Shell]].
*[[Dry Bones]]: His own head.
*[[Mario]]: A red ''M''.
*[[Luigi]]: A green ''L''.
*[[Peach]]: Her own crown.
*[[Daisy]]: Her signature flower.
*[[Yoshi]]: A [[Yoshi Egg]].
*[[Birdo]]: Her bow.
*[[Diddy Kong]]: Two stars.
*[[Bowser Jr.]]: His own head silhouete.
*[[Wario]]: A purple ''W''.
*[[Waluigi]]: A yellow ''Γ'' (a inverse ''L'')
*[[Donkey Kong]]: A red background with a DK in yellow letters.
*[[Bowser]]: His own head silhouete.
*[[King Boo]]: King Boo's mouth with a crown above it.
*[[Rosalina]]: A [[Grand Star]]
*[[Funky Kong]]: His own head.
*[[Dry Bowser]]: His own head silhouete.


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.

For the collectibles found in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, see List of collectibles in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games § Emblems.
Badge
Mario's emblem, which is used in many games, as seen on a badge in Mario Kart Tour
Super Nintendo World Power Up Bands
The Power-Up Bands for Super Nintendo World, which feature emblems for (from left to right) Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Toad, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong

An emblem is a symbol that appears on an item used by a specific character in many of the 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 his cap, whereas that of Yoshi is his egg.

History[edit]

In the 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 Spaces (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 Stars 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, 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 since 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 in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, in which certain karts 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 gliders) 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 Poles and Checkpoint Flags in the 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.
