This course was the final new "non-city" track added to ''Tour'' first, as while Squeaky Clean Sprint also came to ''Tour'' and was left unlabeled as a new course, it was added to ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' first. Piranha Plant Pipeline is the only course originating from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to not appear in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]''. Since it does not appear in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', it is the only course in the series that is completely unplayable unless it is present in a currently active tour. This means Piranha Plant Pipeline is only playable for two weeks a year.

Since it does not appear outside of ''Mario Kart Tour'', it is the only course in the series that is completely unplayable outside of the two-week period of the Pipe Tour in which it was available.

*Although the course does not appear in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', internal data in the 2.0.0 update included prefixes for all courses in the pass. In Wave 6, there were three courses assigned with no prefix - indicating either new courses or non-city courses introduced in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. In the final release of Wave 6, however, only one course lacks a prefix, [[Piranha Plant Cove]]. Another was replaced by {{classic-link|Wii|Moonview Highway}} and the third was replaced with {{classic-link|3DS|Rosalina's Ice World}}. The presence of multiple prefixless slots indicates that Piranha Plant Pipeline was originally set to appear in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.
