It is believed that the use of this image, Supermariokart box.JPG, qualifies as fair use in the article Super Mario Kart because

• Nintendo - the copyright holder - has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information without violating their copyright.
• The image is being used for no purpose other than to identify the subject of the article by showing the box in which it was sold.
• The image resolution has been significantly decreased from the original, so copies made from it would be of inferior quality.
• The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way.

This image is cover art for a video game, and its copyright is most likely held by the game's publisher or developer.
