Oil slicks make their first appearance in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise in ''[[Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race]]''. Here, they appear whenever unnamed CPU opponents are crashed into twice, retiring their car for the remainder of the race and leaving the oil spilled where they wrecked. If the player drives over it, they spin out twice, unlike other obstacles that merely spin them out once. | |||
===''Mario Kart'' series=== | |||
In the ''Mario Kart'' series, oil slicks primarily appear on standard road tracks, such as the [[Mario Circuit]] courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', and cause drivers to spin out when they run over them. They are rather small and often placed at the edge of the road. Players can also [[jump]] (using a [[Cape Feather|Feather]]) or [[Hop (move)|hop]] over them. They appear in all but the [[SNES Mario Circuit 1|first Mario Circuit]] in ''Super Mario Kart''. | |||

Oil slicks return in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' on {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}, ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' on {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 2}}, ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|its Nintendo Switch port]] on {{classic-link|GBA|Mario Circuit}}, and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' on SNES Mario Circuit 2 and SNES Mario Circuit 3. In [[Bangkok Rush]] and {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens|Peach Gardens R/T}}, similar ink puddles appear in a section of the course where they are spit out by [[Inky Piranha Plant]]s. Unlike normal oil slicks, these ink puddles cover the screen with ink, similar to [[Blooper]]s. | Oil slicks return in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' on {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}, ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' on {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 2}}, ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|its Nintendo Switch port]] on {{classic-link|GBA|Mario Circuit}}, and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' on SNES Mario Circuit 2 and SNES Mario Circuit 3.

Oil slicks appear in [[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit#Ver. 1.1.0|version 1.1.0]] of ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]''. Unlike in previous ''Mario Kart'' games, when one is run over, it causes the oil to cover the screen and makes the [[kart]] hard to handle. | |||
===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''=== | |||
Oil slicks also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' in the missions [[Wait Up, Yoshi!]] and [[Fly Guy Flyby]], though they merely slow down [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]]. | Oil slicks also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' in the missions [[Wait Up, Yoshi!]] and [[Fly Guy Flyby]], though they merely slow down [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]]. | ||
