In the latter case, the subheading will have italics and a link to the game. (ex. === ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' ===). Then discuss the kart's appearance and usage within the game.
Crossover appearances: Add this heading for any crossover appearances the kart has made. The subheading will have italics and a link to the game. (ex. === ''[[Tetris DS]]'' ===) or of the series and any games falling under it. (ex. ==={{series|Super Smash Bros.}}=== followed by ====''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''====). Describe the kart's appearance and role under the subheadings for each crossover game appearance.
