Mud appears multiple times in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise as an obstacle, usually slowing the player down.

==History==
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Super Mario Kart''====
Mud appears in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', in both [[SNES Choco Island 1|Choco Island 1]] and [[SNES Choco Island 2|Choco Island 2]]. 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.

====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
Mud reappears in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', reappearing in the same tracks with the same mechanics as before, though mud no longer is shown being thrown behind the kart and the mud has a lighter texture.

====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!''====
In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', mud appears throughout [[GCN Waluigi Stadium|Waluigi Stadium]], composing most of the track's off-road areas.

====''Mario Kart DS''====
In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', mud appears throughout [[DS Wario Stadium|Wario Stadium]] and in [[DS Delfino Square|Delfino Square]]'s shortcut prior to the bridge.

====''Mario Kart Wii''====

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', mud reappears in {{classic|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}} and {{classic|DS|Delfino Square}}. The cave section of {{classic-link|N64|DK's Jungle Parkway}} has mud added to the off-road portions. The final area behind the [[Finish line (object)|Finish line]] at [[Toad's Factory]] also features mud.

====''Mario Kart 7''====
Some mud appears at the starting section of [[Maka Wuhu]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|port]], mud appears on {{classic|DS|Wario Stadium}} and [[Excitebike Arena]]. In the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', mud also appears on {{classic-link|GBA|Riverside Park}} and {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
[[File:MKT Choco Island 2 Winter View.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Aesthetic mud in SNES Choco Island 2]]
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', the mud found in the returning courses [[SNES Choco Island 1]], [[SNES Choco Island 2]], [[GBA Sunset Wilds]], and [[DS Luigi's Mansion]] 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''===
[[File:SMW2 Mud.png|frame]]
In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', mud makes up the ground in the swampy areas of [[World 3 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 3]]. It causes hills to be very slippery.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', mud is found on the {{conjectural|Boulder Planet}} in [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. Various sections of mud are on this planet, and standing in it will result in [[Mario]]'s movement speed and jump height being reduced.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Crystal Boulder.png|thumb|Mud in Boulder Bowl Galaxy]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', mud functions the same way as its predecessor. If [[Rock Mario]] rolls over mud, he does not slow down. It is found on the {{conjectural|Cylindrical Planet}} in [[Sky Station Galaxy]] and the {{conjectural|Boulder Planet}} in [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]].

===''Dr. Mario World''===
In ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', mud is used to cover [[Muddy Coin]]s. The mud on it can be removed by hitting the coins. Once it is cleaned, the player can receive the [[coin]].
