Lemmy's Tire Service



Lemmy's Tire Service is a sponsor that appears in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Presumably, the company, run by Lemmy Koopa, provides and puts Tires on the vehicles in the game. The main logo consists of the word "Lemmy's" in a sans-serif font, with a more angular "Y", in black with a white outline, and "Tire Service" in a different all-capitals font below, also in white. The logo also features a 2D image of Lemmy bouncing on a Tire with a white overall outline, on a pink or green background. 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 an the whole image can be seen. This artwork also 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. It is advertised by means of trackside banners and signs, appears on varnishes and is also referenced on a map.

Lemmy's Tire Service is advertised by means of signs and trackside banners in Mario Kart Stadium, as well as in Mount Wario. Another sign for Lemmy's Tire Service appears in N64 Toad's Turnpike, while more signs and trackside banners can be seen in  DS Wario Stadium. The Lemmy's Tire Service logo can also be seen on some of the boxes in GBA Ribbon Road, and is also listed on the local information map in Super Bell Subway, where it appears under Exit B and appears on the map in C2.

Lemmy's Tire Service logos also appear on the sides of the green and yellow and orange varnishes for the Sport Bike, and also on the blue and white and black, purple and yellow varnishes of the Circuit Special. A monochrome version of the logo also appears along with other sponsors at the end of the credits.
