===Performance chart===
===Performance chart===
The official instruction manual illustrates a chart that details how well characters perform on tracks and their stats. It notes that Toad and Koopa Troopa have the best steering while the Princess and Yoshi steer worse. Another point it mentions is that Toad and Koopa Troopa can get knocked aside by Bowser and Donkey Kong Jr.

When some glitches are performed, occasionally Lakitu shows glitched lap counters, such as "LAP 05" or, rarely, "LAP 16". "LAP" is normal, but the part of the panel that displays the lap number is missing, and the digits are small, stacked, and displayed in red.<ref name="smkglitch"/>

===Turn off music===
===Music muting===
In any two-player game, after Lakitu gives the green light, the player must keep mashing {{button|snes|start}} in both controllers. Occasionally, the music does play.

*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The quadricolor wall blocks use the design of the indestructible barrier tiles seen throughout this game, especially in its [[fortress]]es.
*''[[Super Mario World]]'': Several sound effects from this game are reused. The music for the [[Ghost Valley]] and [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser Castle]] courses are remixes of the music from the [[Ghost House]]s and the final boss theme, respectively, in this game. Most of the races take place in [[Dinosaur Land]]. Also, sprites such as Lakitu's bear a resemblance to their ''Super Mario World'' sprite. The [[Cape Feather]] appears as a usable item.

*''[[Mario Kart 8]]'': Part of the main theme is an orchestrated version of the main theme of ''Super Mario Kart''. The [[Pipe Frame]] returns with the single exhaust design. Also, the Coin item returns with the same function as it did in this game. [[SNES Donut Plains 3|Donut Plains 3]] returns as a retro track. The design of {{classic-link|N64|Rainbow Road}} and [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]] for this game are very similar to [[SNES Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]], which also appears in this game in the DLC cup, [[Triforce Cup]].

**''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'': The [[Cape Feather|Feather]] item returns with the same function. [[SNES Battle Course 1|Battle Course 1]] reappears as a classic battle course; a billboard in the course background is modeled after the player select screen from ''Super Mario Kart''. [[SNES Mario Circuit 3|Mario Circuit 3]] and [[SNES Bowser Castle 3|Bowser Castle 3]] return as classic courses in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Portions of the staff roll theme are heard in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] staff credits.

*''[[Super Mario Maker]]'': The invincible theme from ''Super Mario Kart'' is used when the Mario Kart costume uses a Super Star. Also, the race start fanfare is heard when Mario picks up the [[Mystery Mushroom]]. The 1st-4th place (course clear) and 5th-8th place (death) jingles are also heard. Ironically, when Mario is moving, the kart's engine sound is actually coming from Bowser and Donkey Kong Jr.'s karts, rather than his and Luigi's.
