'''Rupees''' are small gems used as currency throughout ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series, especially in the [[zeldawiki:Hyrule|Hyrule]] region. They make their debut appearance in the first ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]''. They are the equivalent to the [[Coin]]s in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. They play a role in the [[Hyrule Circuit]] course purchased in the first ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' DLC pack, ''[[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8]]'', and return in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. Rupees can be obtained from [[Item Box]]es exclusively in the Hyrule Circuit courses, and are scattered throughout the track, replacing coins found in all the other tracks. The Rupees that replace the coins give the players a small boost and increase top speed when more are collected, up to a max of 10.

Rupees appear in the [[Hyrule Circuit]] course featured in the first ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' DLC pack, [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']], which returns in the base game of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They replace [[coin]]s from other courses, being both scattered throughout the course and obtainable from [[Item Box]]es. They function identically to coins, giving a greater speed boost to players the more of them they have, but they play a different sound effect when collected. They are the only coin replacements that are not shaped and colored like coins themselves.
