'''{{wp|Mud}}''' is a mixture of strata and water. Mud is used multiple times in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise as an obstacle, usually slowing the player down.

==History==
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Super Mario Kart''====
Mud appears in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', in both [[SNES Choco Island 1|Choco Island 1]] and [[SNES Choco Island 2|Choco Island 2]]. In both courses, they appear as puddles throughout the track; driving through them results in the player slowing down and mud being thrown behind the kart. In Choco Island 2 specifically, a large portion of the track is taken up by a mud puddle.

====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
Mud reappears in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', reappearing in the same tracks with the same mechanics as before, though mud no longer is shown being thrown behind the kart and the mud has a lighter texture.

====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!''====
In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', mud appears throughout [[GCN Waluigi Stadium|Waluigi Stadium]], composing most of the track's off-road areas.

====''Mario Kart DS''====
In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', mud appears throughout [[DS Wario Stadium|Wario Stadium]] and in [[DS Delfino Square|Delfino Square]]'s shortcut prior to the bridge.

====''Mario Kart Wii''====

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', mud reappears in {{classic|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}} and {{classic|DS|Delfino Square}}. The cave section of {{classic-link|N64|DK's Jungle Parkway}} has mud added to the off-road portions. The final area behind the [[Finish line (object)|Finish line]] at [[Toad's Factory]] also features mud.

====''Mario Kart 7''====
Some mud appears at the starting section of [[Maka Wuhu]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|port]], mud appears on {{classic|DS|Wario Stadium}} and [[Excitebike Arena]]. In the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', mud also appears on {{classic-link|GBA|Riverside Park}} and {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
[[File:MKT Choco Island 2 Winter View.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Aesthetic mud in SNES Choco Island 2]]
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', the mud found in the returning courses [[SNES Choco Island 1]], [[SNES Choco Island 2]], [[GBA Sunset Wilds]], and [[DS Luigi's Mansion]] no longer slows drivers down, instead fulfilling an entirely aesthetic purpose. This type of mud also appears in [[RMX Choco Island 1]] and [[RMX Choco Island 2]].

Patches of thicker-looking mud appear in various other courses, such as [[SNES Donut Plains 1]], [[SNES Donut Plains 2]], [[SNES Donut Plains 3]], [[GBA Riverside Park]], and [[RMX Donut Plains 1]]. They typically cover areas closer to the inner edge of a wide curve. They slow drivers down to an extent, much like off-road sections do, but are shown as being part of the drivable track in minimaps. Drivers can also perform [[Mini-Turbo]] actions while on this type of mud, albeit without getting speed boosts; likewise, any speed boosts resulted from performing Mini-Turbos are interrupted upon entering a patch of mud. The sand patches inside the temple in [[Wii Dry Dry Ruins]] function identically.

===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''===
[[File:SMW2 Mud.png|frame]]
In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', mud makes up the ground in the swampy areas of [[World 3 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 3]]. It causes hills to be very slippery.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', mud is found on the {{conjectural|Boulder Planet}} in [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. Various sections of mud are on this planet, and standing in it will result in [[Mario]]'s movement speed and jump height being reduced.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Crystal Boulder.png|thumb|Mud in Boulder Bowl Galaxy]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', mud functions the same way as its predecessor. If [[Rock Mario]] rolls over mud, he does not slow down. It is found on the {{conjectural|Cylindrical Planet}} in [[Sky Station Galaxy]] and the {{conjectural|Boulder Planet}} in [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]].

===''Nintendo Land''===
In ''[[Nintendo Land]]'', mud appears in the [[Mario Chase]] stage Mud River Run. The mud separates the different sections of the stage and slows down any player who walks into it, covering them with mud. If the player dressed as Mario collects the [[Super Star]], they are not slowed down by the mud while it is active.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
In ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', mud is used to cover [[Muddy Coin]]s. The mud on it can be removed by hitting the coins. Once it is cleaned, the player can receive the [[coin]].
