Emblem

An Emblem (エンブレム) is a personal symbol used to decorate the vehicles of popular Mario Kart characters. They commonly depict the characters’ initial(s), trademarks/clothing they are associated with, horn buttons, or even a cartoonish depiction of them.

These customization insignias were first introduced in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but Mario Kart DS made them a standard for every Kart/Bike. Mario Kart DS also introduced the ability to create a Custom Emblem (カスタムエンブレム), but they've never been implemented again after this title.
