History[edit]

Mario Kart series[edit]

In theMario Kart series, trophies are rewards for completingcups. When the player ranks in the top three in aGrand Prix, an award ceremony is held, featuring a trophy; each cup has a different design for its trophy, and its color depends on the player's position, being gold for first place, silver for second place, or bronze for third place. SinceMario Kart Wii, a generic trophy appears if the player ranks in the top three at the end of a round ofVs. Mode orBattle Mode (except inMario Kart 8 Deluxe's Battle Mode, which instead uses acrown for this purpose); this trophy varies in color like the Grand Prix trophies. InMario Kart 7,Mario Kart 8, andMario Kart 8 Deluxe, although the trophy automatically rotates horizontally, the player can use the control stick (or touchscreen in the latter two games) to speed it up, slow it down, or tilt it up or down.

Mario Party series[edit]

InMario Party 2, players receive trophies for eachminigame won in Battle Mode. InMario Party 6, a trophy can be seen when announcing the winner at the final of aSpeak Up match.

Mario Golf series[edit]

InMario Golf: Toadstool Tour, players receive trophies only if they get 1st place. In the rest of the games of theMario Golf series, there are gold, silver, and bronze trophies. Players get them by ranking in the top three in course championships. InMario Golf: World Tour, trophies can also be earned by placing in the top 60% of all the participants in online tournaments.

Mario Tennis series[edit]

In theMario Tennis series, trophies reappear with the same purpose as in theMario Golf series. Like inMario Golf: Toadstool Tour, they can only be earned by ranking in 1st place.

InMario Hoops 3-on-3, there are trophies for each cup. The cups are: The Mushroom Cup, the Flower Cup, the Star Cup, and the Rainbow Cup. Once the players collects all four for the first time, they can play all four cups again on Hard Mode. There are bronze, silver, and gold versions of each trophy, though instead of being based on the player's position (they can only get trophies by placing in 1st), the trophy is based on how many points a player earns in a tourney (200+ over all CPUs for gold, 100-199 for silver, and 1-99 for bronze). Each bronze, silver, and gold trophy for each cup offers a different reward.

Mario Strikers series[edit]

Super Mario Strikers[edit]

InSuper Mario Strikers, trophies are awards won by achieving a certain number of special actions. Additionally, all cups of the game are trophies, including theMushroom Cup, theFlower Cup, theStar Cup, theBowser Cup, theSuper Mushroom Cup, theSuper Flower Cup, theSuper Star Cup, and theSuper Bowser Cup. The cups' trophies are won by winning the cup. These special trophies can also be unlocked:

Mario Strikers Charged[edit]

In the sequel toSuper Mario Strikers,Mario Strikers Charged, players can earn one of three trophies, theFire Cup, theCrystal Cup, and theStriker Cup. To win the cup, players must beat the champion of the cup in the best 2-out-of-3 series. If the player wins two games, then the cup is theirs.

In addition to the three main cups, all three also have two bonus trophies known as the Golden Foot and Brick Wall awards. These are based on goals for and goals against, respectively.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong series[edit]

Trophies are an important feature in theMario vs. Donkey Kong series, starting withMario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! and returning inMario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars andMini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge. In these games, they are used to reward players when they surpass the goal score of a level. Gold trophies are needed to unlock bonus levels, which are more challenging than the main levels.

InMario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, trophies are given more variety to assist the game's star gimmick. They come in bronze, silver and gold and are given in accordance to the player's score, just like in other games of the series. Each type of trophy is worth one star. Stars are used as in-game currency to purchase items from theWorkshop Store, and were also used to tip players for levels shared online prior toMiiverse shutting down. InWorkshop mode, before a player can upload their own level, they must play-test it and earn enough points for a gold trophy.
