 * Mario Kart Arcade GP (pictured) is the first Mario Kart installment to be developed by a third-party company (Namco, currently Namco Bandai Games) and the first to have non-Nintendo characters.
 * Since her debut in 1985, Princess Peach has appeared in more games than any female character in video game history.
 * Mario's full name is given as "Mario Mario" in the Super Mario Bros. film. In a few isolated cases, this has leaked into other media - for instance, the Prima guide book for Mario Party 2 lists his name as Mario Mario in a note section. Also, when asked Mario (voiced by Charles Martinet) what his last name was, he had responded "Mario Mario". However, Nintendo has stated that "there are no last names."
 * In the Japanese version of Mario Party, when Wario or Luigi have to pay to Bowser or lose a Minigame, they exclaim "Oh, my God!" This was changed in other versions due to religious references.
