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.

Mud in Mario Kart Tour appears in SNES Choco Island 1, SNES Choco Island 2, GBA Sunset Wilds, and DS Luigi's Mansion, though it 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[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]
