'''Finish | '''Finish Lines'''{{ref needed}} are checkered lines with signs overhead that appear at least once in every race course in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Racers begin on a '''Starting Grid'''{{ref needed}} behind one. Crossing one afterward marks the beginning of another lap or section, or the end of the race. | ||
Starting | Starting Grids position racers in a grid, with each column of racers placed further back than the last. The frontmost column is always on the outside of the first turn, which is the same side [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] shows up on after crossing the line. The size of the grid varies depending on the game. | ||

Finish lines first appear in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. Unlike in future titles, they have no overhead structure. All finish lines in this game have white and black checkers. Since ''Mario Kart Wii'', courses from this game have had gates added to their finish lines. | Finish lines first appear in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.

In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', finish lines are always checkered black and yellow. For the first time, they have overhead banners. In this game, they have a consistent design with a black background, checkered border, and the classic Mario Kart logo in a green-to-orange gradient. | |||

===''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''=== | |||
''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' marks the first appearance of unique gate designs, logos, logo colors, and checkerboard colors. While many still use the classic Mario Kart logo, others have a simpler logo made from the same font as the game's course logos, [[GCN Sherbet Land|Sherbet Land]] and [[Mushroom City]] share a unique font, and [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Double Dash!!)|Rainbow Road]] has a unique holographic logo being emitted from one pipe into another. | ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' marks the first appearance of unique gate designs, logos, logo colors, and checkerboard colors.

===''Mario Kart DS''=== | |||
''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' retains unique gate designs. Its nitro tracks use either the classic logo (despite the change to the logo of the game itself), a scoreboard-like gate topped with "MarioKart" styled like the Nintendo logo, repeating alternately in white on black and red on white, or (exclusive to [[Waluigi Pinball]]) a neon sign with a unique font. | |||

[[ | [[Peach Gardens]] does not have its gate above its finish line, as instead its gate is near the edge of the lake.

''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' uses the classic logo (again, despite the changes to the logo of the game itself) for every track's finish line, though there is additional text alongside it on [[Toad's Factory]] ("MUSHROOM CUP FINAL ROUND") and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]] ("MARIO KART GRAND PRIX"). | ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' uses the classic logo (again, despite the changes to the logo of the game itself) for every track's finish line, though there is additional text alongside it on [[Toad's Factory]] ("MUSHROOM CUP FINAL ROUND") and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]] ("MARIO KART GRAND PRIX"). | ||
