-The [[Banana Peel]] is also due to debut as an item in SSBB, but it's classified as belonging to the [[Smash Bros. universe]] instead of [[Mario (universe)|Mario]], so it may not actually be the game that Sakurai took the item idea from.

-'''''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''''' is a [[GameCube]] video game and the fourth ''Mario Kart'' game in the series. It was released worldwide during November 2003 and has been considered to some at the time to be the greatest in the series. Hovewer, some fans have criticized the pilot-copilot plot, which was removed from later games in the series.
-==Gameplay==
-While overall the game is conclusively not as original as previous installments, there is one addition that makes it unique, and that is adding two players to a vehicle, hence the name ''Double Dash!!''. Characters are separated into three different weight categories- light, medium and heavy. The same goes for the multiple different vehicles that you're allowed to ride. The class of vehicle that one is able to choose depends on the heaviest character selected; while light characters can be paired with medium or heavy characters, they will hence be restricted to medium or heavy vehicles, respectively. Two light characters will only be able to choose a light kart. Each character has a special item shared with only one other character (the one in their conventional pairing).
-==In ''Brawl''==
-The music for the Rainbow Road course in this game is played on the [[Mario Circuit]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''
-'''''Mario Kart DS''''' is a racing game for the [[Nintendo DS]] featuring numerous [[Mario (universe)|Mario]] characters, as well as [[R.O.B.]], who hails from two old NES games, ''Gyro mite'' and ''Stack-Up''. The players not only have to race, but can also use items to attack each other. This game is very similar to the Mario Kart game on WII. Mario Kart DS features 30 courses. Mario Kart DS also have 17 Items to use.
