-The ''Mario Kart'' series has been referenced in three of the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games. [[Luigi]] references it in an "adventure" of his which he recounts between chapters of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where in the third of his stories, he states that he visited a location called "Circuit Break Island" where kart races are organized every day. Later, in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', once all six [[Big Paint Star]]s have been retrieved, Luigi drives his kart on Rainbow Road to transport Mario to Bowser's Castle to defeat him and restore peace to [[Prism Island]]; when Bowser (who has been [[Black Bowser|transformed by black paint]]) is reverted to normal upon his defeat, he asks Mario if they have a kart race scheduled. Luigi's Kart also appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' several times throughout the game. Additionally, several stages based on ''Mario Kart'' have appeared in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series: ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' features a Mario Circuit stage based on [[Figure-8 Circuit]] from ''Mario Kart DS'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' features a Rainbow Road stage based on its appearance in ''Mario Kart 7'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' features a Mario Circuit stage based on its appearance in ''Mario Kart 8'', as well as reusing the Mario Circuit stage from ''Brawl''. Although not actually shown in the first ''Super Smash Bros.'' for the Nintendo 64, the franchise (which at that time had been composed of just ''Super Mario Kart'' and ''Mario Kart 64'') was alluded to in a promotional ad for the game in ''Nintendo Power'', where it mentioned that Nintendo's famous cast had previously "raced go-karts" when announcing their new role in the fighting ring.

 ''Mario Kart'' has also crossed over into the ''Fortune Street'' series, where [[Itadaki Street DS|its DS installment]] features a playable Mario Circuit based on its ''Double Dash!!'' and ''DS'' versions, and [[Fortune Street|the Wii follow-up]] features a Mario Circuit whose design is based on ''Mario Kart Wii''. There are also stages based on ''Mario Kart'' in the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series; for example, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Olympic Winter Games]]'' features Mario Circuit from ''Mario Kart Wii'', Bowser's Castle from ''Super Circuit'', and [[Sherbet Land (N64)|Sherbet Land]] from ''Mario Kart 64'' in its ski cross, ice hockey, and curling dream events respectively. Rainbow Road from ''Mario Kart 64'' is featured in ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero X|F-Zero X]]''; figurines of Mario, Peach, and Bowser racing in their karts appear as dog toys in ''{{wp|Nintendogs}}''; and the ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'' series features ''Mario Kart'' items in ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: City Folk|City Folk]]'' and references the series in certain lucky tickets in ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Leaf|New Leaf]]''.
