MKT kart measurements

[archiving this table per what Mister Wu (talk) said here; basically, despite the dilligence and professionality shown by the people behind the cited study, there is no hard data in the game's files or any other official source that supports it]


The following is a sortable table of measurements for the game's karts. In-game units are used for the measurements.[1]

List of diegetic music in Mario video games

[If you look at the earliest revisions on the “Bah” article, you may notice that the intro paragraph sounds as if it follows up some broader explanation for a subject. This is because said article started out as a page meant to cover all instances of in-universe music in Mario games that has some kind of gameplay role. I decided to narrow down its focus after realising that such a page would creep into subjects that are too insignificant to lend any wortwhile info (e.g. nobody cares about the music coming from whatever phonograph in Luigi’s Mansion 2 even if the object technically interactable). The following is the original draft for this page, which I’m keeping here to better secure its posterity; it should not be brought into mainspace unless some consensus makes it fair game to do so.]


In audiovisual media, diegetic music refers to music that is part of a fictional setting. In video games, such music may simply exist as an Easter egg or have a gameplay role—for instance, dictating non-playable characters to act in a certain manner.

The following are examples of diegetic music in the Mario franchise and related franchises that is specifically interactable or otherwise has an impact on gameplay.

New Super Mario Bros. games

Many musical tracks in the New Super Mario Bros. games incorporate a form of diegetic audio, mostly in the form of “bah” vocals. Interspersed at various points within a level’s music track, these vocals, when heard, cause objects and enemies on-screen to perform an action simultaneously. In underwater levels, a brief tinkling sound effect plays instead.

Donkey Kong Country series

In newer Donkey Kong Country games, hand slapping in front of certain objects causes them to play music that replaces the current soundtrack. The music swaps back to the non-diegetic soundtrack once the player hand slaps near the object again or exits the current area.

Donkey Kong Country Returns

In Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, hand slapping near the television in the KONG hut at the beginning of Jungle Hijinxs causes it to play the game's title theme.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch version feature a similar Easter egg at the beginning of Mangrove Cove; inside the plane wreck, there is a pile of TVs which produce the title theme of Donkey Kong Country Returns upon performing a nearby hand slap.

At the end of Canopy Chaos, there is a phonograph on an upper platform. When activated with a hand slap, the current soundtrack ends and the phonograph plays the title theme of Donkey Kong Country instead.

List of vehicles in Mario Party 9

[This is a page I made that I'm saving in my sandbox because I like how it looks. Since it has been decided through a proposal that it should be trimmed and merged with the Mario Party 9 page, do not attempt to re-create it.]


In Mario Party 9, characters collectively drive a vehicle to move through a board. There are three different exclusive vehicles for each stage: one is available by default, while the other two can be unlocked in the Museum for 200 Party Points each. All vehicles share a basic structure with a broad compartment for the characters to stay in, containing seats on the back side and a means of lighting on the frontal side. However, the type of a vehicle depends on the environment of the board in which it is used.

The following table lists all vehicles by board (and the corresponding vehicle type). A description is also presented along with each vehicle. Colored sections mark a starter vehicle.
