 * Aside from its reappearance in Mario Kart 8, arrangements for Rainbow Road's music cue from Mario Kart 64 can be heard in later titles. Samples of the cue were incorporated into the music for the Double Dash!! and Mario Kart 7 Rainbow Roads, and also in the map theme for World 9 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. A cover of the N64 Rainbow Road theme is also heard when first driving the rainbow road in Paper Mario: Color Splash.
 * In Super Mario Bros., Bowser's spiked collars around his wrists are given their black color by the black background of the castle levels. Likewise, in Super Mario Bros. 3 Bowser's sprite design includes an outline to exploit the black background of his castle.
 * Super Mario Strikers was the first game to feature Kenny James, Bowser's current voice actor, in that role, even though it had yet to become permanent. Likewise, Jen Taylor did not voice Princess Peach and Toad, making it the only Nintendo GameCube game where she does not voice these characters.
 * In all New Super Mario Bros. games starting with the Wii entry, when a mini character enters a mini Warp Pipe, they will exit out of a normal-sized one. This is done to prevent glitching in multiplayer modes.
