Crowns are the objects seen in various games to indicate the winner of a previous round, or the leader of the current one.

History

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

They first appear in Super Mario 3D World, and reappear in its Nintendo Switch port, where the player in first place in score at the end of a level will gain the crown for the next level. They can be knocked off players as well, whether by enemies or other players, and give an additional 5000 points to players in possession of the crown at the end of a level.

If multiple players are tied for first place at the end of the level, nobody will receive a crown.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Crowns appear in Mario Kart 8 atop the icon of the current leader of a race on the course map. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, they appear in Battle Mode on the head of the current first-place driver or drivers, at which point they are also visible on the course map, and they also serve as the icon for Battle Mode and replace trophies from other modes on the mode's result screen, with free-for-all results screens showing the normal gold crown, a silver crown, or a bronze crown for first, second, or third place respectively, and team-based battles using the gold crown to indicate the winning team. Just like trophies, crowns that appear on the results screen automatically rotate horizontally, with the player being able to use the control stick or touch screen to speed it up, slow it down, or tilt it up or down. The crowns seen in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe have a Shine Sprite figure on the top, except when worn by Larry, Lemmy, or Iggy, in which case there is a hole on the top instead to make room for the tall hair of these characters.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

A crown appears in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports at the end of the level Mummy-Me Maze Forever. The level ends once the crown is collected, and Captain Toad and Toadette wear it permanently afterwards.
