1-Up Fuel is a fuel company that appears as one of the sponsors in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The company presumably produces fuel for the Karts, Bikes and ATVs in the game from or using 1-Up Mushrooms.

It is advertised by means of trackside banners, posters and is also included on a map.

Presumably, the company produces the antifreeze using or from Ice Flowers. The posters and logo feature the head of an Ice Flower stylised to look like a droplet melting from the ice at the top of the poster into some antifreeze at the bottom of the poster, and the dot on the "I" in "Antifreeze" has been replaced with a leaf from the flower.

This graffiti depicts it with a plug on the right hand side, the word "Bob-omb" in all capitals and blue on the left with the word plugs, also stylised in all capitals, below the plug on the right in pink.

Boomerang Bros. International Airlines


Boomerang Bros. International Airlines (often abbreviated to BBIA) is an airline that appears as a sponsor in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It runs flights to some of the courses from the game, so presumably transports the racers to these locations for the races. It appears to be run by Boomerang Bros. The logo consists of the name or initials in a navy blue sans-serif font, with the first "I" in "International" being replaced with a red-striped blue Boomerang. A different logo has the abbreviation "BBIA" on the let with a red shape on the let hand side, while another different logo is simply the abbreviation on a grey background. It is advertised by means of posters and trackside banners, appears on planes and departures boards, and is referenced on a map.

The announcer on the intercom in Sunshine Airport mentions a flight provided by Boomerang Bros. International Airlines, "This is the final boarding call for Boomerang Bros. International Airlines, Flight 117a to Sweet Sweet Canyon, departing from Gate 3", however this is inconsistent with the departures boards around the airport, which list the same flight as being number 4300.

Chain Chomp Racing Chains


Chain Chomp Racing Chains is a sponsor that appears in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The company presumably produces racing chains from the chains on the back of Chain Chomps for the racers to use. The trackside banners feature the Mario Party 8 artwork of a Chain Chomp, alongside the word "Chain Chomp" in red and "Racing Chains" underneath it in black. The chain at the top of the trackside banner is the same one from the Chain Chomp artwork, just rotated. A variation of this logo consists simply of the name in white on a dark blue background. The company is advertised by trackside banners, appears on a varnish and is also referenced on a map.

Fuzzy Battery


Fuzzy Battery is a type of battery that appears as a sponsor in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and makes a cameo appearance in Super Mario Odyssey. The logo consists of the company name in a curled font, with a black and yellow gradient fill and a white outline surrounding a 2D image of a Fuzzy with the same color scheme. This appears on one of two backgrounds with a lightning bolt, one in which the bolt is yellow with a red outline on a black background, and the other which is black with a yellow outline on a red background. It is advertised by means of trackside banners, promotional tents, signs, flags and the batteries themselves.

Galaxy Air


Galaxy Air (often abbreviated to GXA) is an airline that appears as a sponsor in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and makes a cameo appearance in Super Mario Odyssey. It runs flights to some of the courses from the game, so presumably transports the racers to these locations for the races. It is presumably named after Galaxies from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, or possibly even the games themselves. The logo consists of a simplified image of a yellow Luma alongside three stripes, two being dark blue and the other being turquoise, somewhat resembling a comet tail. Beneath this is the company name in a simple dark blue font. There are many variations of the logo however. One variation puts the stripes behind the Luma and gives it an outline, and "Galaxy Air" appears on the right hand side instead. This variant has many different color schemes. The other main variant shortens the stripes and adds GXA above Galaxy Air on the right hand side, and also comes in two variations. Another variation of the logo places the Luma on the left and the abbreviation over the full name on the right, while another simply has just the text in that arrangement. Another variant of this version of the logo has an orange background and white text, as well as removing the outline from the Luma and changing its eyes to orange, and the colors of the stripes to turquoise instead of dark blue and white instead of the original turquoise.

As well as the variations, Galaxy Air also advertises using posters which illustrate specific destinations. One of these is for Dry Dry Desert, and features an image of GCN Dry Dry Desert as the background with the Galaxy Air logo in the top left corner. In front of this is a green dune shape which says "Mysterious Sands." and "Dry Dry Desert" on it, and features Toad's Mario Party 8 artwork on it. There is also a rectangular version of it which shows a smaller section of the course and places Toad above the dune. Another one is for Sweet Sweet Canyon and is fairly similar in layout, but now has a pink ribbon with a magenta and white trim at the bottom instead of dunes. This now reads "The Sweetest Memories!" and "Sweet Sweet Canyon" instead, and features Princess Peach's New Super Mario Bros. Wii artwork behind the ribbon instead, whereas Toad is in front. The rectangular variant has the same changes as the Dry Dry Desert one. The other poster is for Water Park, and is completely different from the other two. It has the Galaxy Air logo in the top right hand corner in a yellow trapezium, which also says "Welcome to Water Park", with the "Welcome to" in orange and the rest in red. below this is an orange stripe which has "New attraction!" written on it in yellow, accompanied by another orange stripe at the bottom. in between these stripes is an image of Water Park, specifically focussed on the Sub Coaster ride, which is most likely the new attraction, and the New Super Mario Bros. artwork of Koopa Troopa.

Galaxy Air is advertised by means of posters, trackside banners, and signs, as well as appearing on planes, buses and departures boards, is mentioned by the airport intercom and appears on a varnish.

The announcer on the intercom in Sunshine Airport mentions two flights provided by Galaxy Air, "Passengers departing on Galaxy Airlines, Flight 2580, bound for Dolphin Shoals, should proceed to customs and immigration at this time." and "Paging Galaxy Airlines, Flight 2218, passenger Ms. Birdo, please proceed to the information counter on Floor 2.". The intercom does get the company's name wrong in both of these announcements. In an earlier build of the game at an E3 demo, the starting line for Toad Harbor featured a blue starting line with Galaxy Air logos, however this was replaced in the final game with a yellow and orange one with Flower Cup logos and different textures.

The image of Lemmy originates from an artwork of the Koopalings, Bowser and Bowser Jr. on an Airship, but this version does not have shading and the whole image can be seen. As a consequence, this artwork depicts Lemmy with a lazy eye, a trait which he is missing in the game. The logo also has some variants, the main one being the bottom of the "Y"'s outline being extended to incorporate the rest of the sponsor's name on the same line. The rest is then rearranged to fit the trackside banner. The color also changes, with the rest of the writing being changed to green, or the word "Lemmy's" being changed to green.
