'''Oil slicks'''<ref>"''If you run into an oil slick, you’ll spin out. Steer around them when possible.''" - ''Super Mario Kart'' English instruction booklet, page 29.</ref> are uncommon obstacles in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' games]]. They primarily appear on standard road tracks, such as the [[Mario Circuit]] courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', and cause the drivers to spin out when they run over them. As they are rather small and often placed at the edge of the road, avoiding oil slicks is not very difficult. Players can also [[jump]] (using a [[Cape Feather|Feather]]) or [[Hop (move)|hop]] over them. They appear in all but [[Mario Circuit 1|the first Mario Circuit]] in ''Super Mario Kart''. The oil slicks return in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' (in [[Mario Circuit 3|<small>SNES</small> Mario Circuit 3]]) and in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' (in [[Mario Circuit 2|<small>SNES</small> Mario Circuit 2]]). It does not return in the courses' appearances in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. | '''Oil slicks'''<ref>"''If you run into an oil slick, you’ll spin out.

A few oil slicks appear on [[Mario Circuit (GBA)|<small>GBA</small> Mario Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They function the same as in previous games, and are presumably spilled by Mario Motors, which is present outside of the course. | A few oil slicks appear on [[Mario Circuit (GBA)|<small>GBA</small> Mario Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
