Cars (not to be confused with Karts) are playable vehicles in Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Racing DS. The karts vary with each character and are usable in all levels except Hot Top Volcano, Everfrost Peak, Spacedust Alley, and Darkmoon Caverns. Each character has a different kart color:

Cars are also obstacles appearing in the Mario Kart series. They rarely appear in the game and actually only appear in a few courses: Toad's Turnpike, Mushroom Bridge and Mushroom City, Shroom Ridge, and Moonview Highway. Additionaly, in Coconut Mall, there are three red convertibles that move back and forth towards the end of the lap, making it more difficult to navigate through. Miis can be seen inside the cars at Coconut Mall. The different colors are red, blue, and yellow, along with three different types of busses.

When a player crashes into a car, he or she will spin out or be launched into the air and then come back down. The cars in the game are used as obstacles for the player. When a player crashes into one of the cars, the car will sometimes honk.

In the Mario Kart DS mission 4-3, the player's task is to reach the finish before a red car.

It should also be noted that Wario is one of the few Mario series characters known to own a car, the Wario Car.

In Mario Party Advance, in order to travel around Party World, players would utilize a car that used Mushrooms for fuel. Cars have also appeared many times in a few episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. In the Super Mario Bros. film, the cars of Dinohatten were portrayed as running on electricity and were exceptionally run-down and bizarre in appearance.

A windup car also appears at the Mario Party DS minigame Twist and Route, where we must wind up the key from a toy car and with it reach the Finish before others.

Other than the racing games and the show appearances, cars don't seem to be a common form of transportation on Mushroom World, unlike in Earth, where the car is a commonly used form of transportation.
