[[File:Koopa Air ad MK64.png|thumb|250px|A Koopa Air sign]]
'''Koopa Air''' is a sponsor that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. The logo consists of company name written in an italicized all-capitals font with a purple and blue gradient on a white background. In Japan, the logo uses a different color scheme with yellow text and a dark blue background. This resembles the {{Wp|Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear}} logo, which was a major {{Wp|Formula One}} advertiser at the time, albeit without any logo substituting for the Mercury's foot logo from the original. It is advertised by means of trackside banners and signs.

[[File:Luigi's MK64.png|thumb|250px|A Luigi's sign]]
'''Luigi's''' (known as '''Luigip''' in Japan) is a sponsor that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. The logo consists of the name written in a red font on a yellow background. The Japanese version is based on the logo of {{wp|Agip}}, which was a major {{wp|Formula One|Formula 1}} advertiser at the time, using the same font and color scheme. The background is yellow with the company name written on it in a black font with lines through the middle of the letters, with the dot of the second "I" lacking the line and being colored red. On the left of the text is a stylized version of Luigi's eyes, nose and mustache in black within a square outline with rounded corners. Though removed from the Western versions, the Japanese logo was later adapted in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' into a new [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!#Luigi Grand Prix|Luigi Grand Prix]] logo. It is advertised by means of trackside banners and signs.

[[File:Mario Star MK64.png|thumb|250px|A Mario Star sign]]
'''Mario Star''' (known as '''Marioro''' in Japan) is a sponsor that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. The logo consists of the company name written in an all-capitals blue font on a white background with a red line above and below the text. The Japanese logo is based on that of {{wp|Marlboro (cigarette)|Marlboro}}, which was a major {{wp|Formula One|Formula 1}} advertiser when the game was released, and also where the Japanese name comes from. It consists of the company name in a black serif font on a white background, with a red rectangle with a triangle shape removed from the top on the right, an inverted version of the Marlboro logo. It is advertised by means of signs and trackside banners. A Mario Star sign also appears on both courses of [[Slot-Car Derby|Slot Car Derby]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'', even in the Japanese version (though a {{media link|MarioroMP1beta.jpg|pre-release screenshot}} shows that a Marioro logo was originally intended to appear in place of the Nintendo logo), though the font is changed to that of the {{media link|MarioPartyLogo.png|game's logo}}.

==Shot!==
[[File:Shot! MK64.png|thumb|250px|A Shot! sign]]
'''Shot!''' is a sponsor that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. The sponsor's logo appears to be based on that of the company {{wp|Royal Dutch Shell|Shell}}, which was a major {{wp|Formula One|Formula 1}} advertiser at the time the game was released, using a similar simplistic font and color scheme for the shell. The logo consists of the company name written in a black font on a white background, with a 2D image of a [[Yellow Shell]] with a red outline and bottom, white rim and yellow top. It is advertised by means of trackside banners and signs. Later games replace it with the [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!#Shoot!!|Shoot!!]] sponsor.
