*In the ''Mario Kart 64'' instruction manual, there are triangles at the third bridge and between the jumps afterward telling the player(s) to watch for falling rocks, despite the fact that there are no falling rocks or any other obstacle in that area. This is actually a translation error; in the Japanese manual, this is merely a warning not to fall off the track, with the kanji used being similar to the ones used to describe the falling rocks in [[N64 Choco Mountain|Choco Mountain]].<ref>[https://m1.nintendo.net/docvc/NUS/JPN/NKTJ/NKTJ_J.pdf ''Mario Kart 64'' Japanese instruction booklet], page 31.</ref> | *In the ''Mario Kart 64'' instruction manual, there are triangles at the third bridge and between the jumps afterward telling the player(s) to watch for falling rocks, despite the fact that there are no falling rocks or any other obstacle in that area.

*A [[List of rumors and urban legends about Mario#Marty the Thwomp|rumor]] popularized by {{wp|YouTube}} videos in 2007 suggests that the [[Thwomp]] locked behind a cage at the beginning of the course, nicknamed "Marty", can be unlocked as a playable character. However, no evidence in the data of the game suggests this. | *A [[List of rumors and urban legends about Mario#Marty the Thwomp|rumor]] popularized by {{wp|YouTube}} videos in 2007 suggests that the [[Thwomp]] locked behind a cage at the beginning of the course, nicknamed "Marty", can be unlocked as a playable character by going around the statue of Bowser 3 times, doing the entire track in reverse followed by repeating the 3 circles around the Bowser statue again. However, no evidence in the data of the game suggests this, and one video showing the method as shown above was made to be an April Fools Joke. | ||
