* There's actually physics on Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi's ''mustaches'' that makes them flutter in the wind as they're driving around at high speeds. It's a pretty amusing sight.

* For months after the release of Wave 1 of the Booster Course Pass, fans of Coconut Mall complained that the cars in the parking lot didn't move, [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks like they did in its original incarnation]] in ''VideoGame/MarioKartWii''. Come the release of Wave 2, [[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1555191948956368897 Nintendo made them move again]]. But rather than move back and forth, they now do ''donuts''. Was it what the fans wanted? Not quite. But it's ''[[RuleOfFunny absolutely hilarious]]'' all the same.

* In the same update that came with Wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass, Nintendo added in a single feature that allowed everyone to instill chaos in VS races: the Custom Items rule. This means that it is entirely possible to have a race where ''everyone'' can only get Spiny Shells or Lightning from item boxes.
* The final lap of London Loop has the previously-chained Chain Chomps breaking free and moving about on the track, but the really funny part comes when one of them ends up in the River Thames.

* GCN Daisy Cruiser's dining hall with sliding tables is back. Except now, they have ''patrons sitting at them'' despite the sliding.
* Squeaky Clean Sprint features a glider section over a toilet. On laps 2 and 3, there's a stream of water ''blasting out of it like a fountain''. Furthermore, you can ''trick'' off of it and use it to reach a different portion of the course than usual. A bidet, perhaps?
** Additionally, during the [[DownTheDrain drain segment]], you can see a LostWeddingRing off one of the turns. It doubles as a shortcut if you have a Mushroom.

* Towards the end of every lap around Shy Guy Falls, and when you enter the mine in Wii Wario's Gold Mine, you'll pass by several pairs of Shy Guys who are pushing up and down on seesaw-style handcars. As they propel the cars, you hear them saying what's most likely the equivalent of "heave-ho" in [[VoiceGrunting their "language"]][[note]]they're saying Heigh-Ho, which is what they're called in Japan[[/note]] to the beat of their pushing and pulling over and over again. They also appear in a village around the glider segment in Wild Woods. A Shy Guy's voice is very funny to begin with, so the result is hilarious.
