* While initially considered the reason for Daisy's [[TheScrappy scrappydom]] back in the day, her manic "HI I'M DAISY!" in ''Double Dash!!'' whenever you switch to her mid-race is the stuff of legends for just how memetically grating it is. The fact that you can ''spam it'' just makes it even better.

* When Wario replaced Koopa Troopa for ''Mario Kart 64'', some amused fans "explained" Troopa's disappearance by saying Wario stole Troopa's kart, which wouldn't be out of character for him. Magazine/NintendoPower almost made it AscendedFanon by printing some fan art of Koopa Troopa phoning the police to report Wario's theft of his kart.
-->'''Koopa Troopa''': Yes officer, it was a fat man in purple overalls who stole my kart!

* For some players, holding onto a blue shell can result in this. Because it only targets the racer in first place, an approaching blue shell tends to turn any neck-and-neck battle for the lead into a frantic game of HotPotato, as the lead racers will often panic and stop dead in their tracks in an attempt to stay in second place and screw each other over.

* Due to ''Mario Kart 64'' being the first game in the series with true 3D, an unusual quirk is that certain sounds have a Doppler Effect if you drive underneath them at the right time. This includes racers' ''screams''. It's hilarious to hit Wario with a shell, zip under him as he flies into the air, and hear his yell sharply rise in pitch and then down again as you do so.
