List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 64: Difference between revisions

'''Koopa Air''' is a sponsor that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. Presumably, it is an airline with some relation to [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]]. The logo consists of company name written in an italicised all-capitals font with a purple and blue gradient on a white background. In Japan, the logo used a different color scheme with yellow text and a dark blue background. This resembled the {{Wp|Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear}} logo, which was a major {{Wp|Formula One}} advertiser at the time, and was likely removed in the western versions to prevent a lawsuit from the company. It is advertised by means of trackside banners and signs.

'''Yoshi''' (known as '''Yoshi 1''' in Japan) is a sponsor that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. Although it is unclear what the company does, it appears to have some relation to [[Yoshi]]. The logo consists of the word "Yoshi" written in an all-capitals font with a yellow and white gradient on a dark blue background, with a white pawprint on the right of the text. In the Japanese version of the game, the logo is based off that of {{wp|ExxonMobil|Mobil 1}}, which was a major {{wp|Formula One|Formula 1}} advertiser at the time. The logo has the word "Yoshi" written in a blue font with a red "O" on a white background on the left, with the "1" in a black box on the right of the text in white. This design was removed in the western localisations of the game, likely to avoid a potential lawsuit from Mobil 1. It is advertised by means of trackside banners and signs.
