In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, '''trucks'''<ref name="MKT name">''Mario Kart Tour'' in-game name</ref> appear as obstacles in urban- or highway-themed courses, driving along the main roads with all of the other traffic. In most games, if the player gets hit by a truck, it will have the same effect as driving over a [[Banana#Mario Kart series|Banana]], causing the player to spin out. There is no way to destroy a truck, but they can be launched into the air by driving into them with a [[Super Star]], [[Bullet Bill]], [[Chain Chomp]] or [[Mega Mushroom]], or by throwing a [[Bowser Shell]] at them. If a truck is hit by anything, it honks its horn at the player. In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', if a truck is lifted into the air, it stops moving, whereas in future games, it continues to move even while in the air.

Three types of trucks appear most commonly across the series: '''cargo trucks'''<ref>Musa, Alexander (May 30, 2014). "''It’s possible to land on top of some cargo trucks and Jump Boost off the ramps at the front of the cargo container.''" ''Mario Kart 8'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 164. ''Prima Games''.</ref>, pickup trucks (which often drag along a surfboard that racers can use as a ramp), and [[dash panel ramp truck]]s.
