Traffic cone

Traffic cones are uncommon obstacles in the Mario Kart series. They primarily appear on standard roads, and are knocked away when driven over.

Traffic cones first appear in Mario Kart Wii along the curbsides in certain parts of Daisy Circuit. They are slightly more common in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, appearing below the multicolored tarps in Toad Harbor, along the catwalk leading to the hydroelectric dam in Mount Wario, and in front of oil slicks in GBA Mario Circuit. Traffic cones appear again in Mario Kart Tour, where they are much more numerous and appear in many more courses, though primarily in reverse variants. There were also two badges that the player could collect as part of the Halloween and Paris Tours for knocking down five traffic cones.
