Emblem

An Emblem is a symbol that appears on a Kart or Bike in Mario Kart. The emblem in Mario Kart DS, is customizable, but in other Mario Kart games, they're character exclusive only. In Mario Party 8, the emblem appears next to the character to indicate when it's the character's turn and when someone owns a hotel in Koopa's Tycoon Town, then the emblem will appear on top of the hotel to indicate that the character owns it. Emblems also make appearance in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. The symbols appear on flags and Emblems (not the symbol itself) in these games. The Mario characters do have the same logos, but since the Sonic characters do not have an emblem at all, they've most of the time a one-coloured silhouete of themselves in a different angle, with a colored background.
