** Before the game's global launch, many people expected Pauline to make her ''Mario Kart'' series debut here thanks to her newfound BreakoutCharacter status from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey''. She debuted in the first tour in the game, the New York Tour.
** Many expected high-requested newcomers who didn't made it to ''Mario Kart 8'' and its ''Deluxe'' version, like Hammer Bro, Nabbit, and Kamek. They made their series debuts in the Hammer Bro Tour, the Wild West Tour, and the Kamek Tour respectively.
** When filenames for upcoming nitro tracks ended up being leaked, just about everyone was able to accurately predict what they were. Like [=mobYI=] being Yoshi’s Island, [=mobBR=] being a bathroom track, or [=mobMD=] being a track based on Madrid.

* PropRecycling: The redesigned Peach's Castle model used in 3DS Mario Circuit is reused in DS Mario Circuit, while the one from N64 Royal Raceway was repurposed for GBA Peach Circuit, which also incorporates mushrooms taken from 3DS Toad Circuit and N64 Mario Raceway. N64 Mario Raceway itself heavily reuses assets from N64 Luigi Raceway as well; notably, all of these tracks were created late into the game's development based on the dates their in-game images were rendered.

** The game celebrated its 1st, 2nd and 3rd with special anniversary-themed tours. The 1st Anniversary Tour featured five cities all in one tour (New York Minute, Tokyo Blur, Paris Promenade, London Loop, and Vancouver Velocity). The 2nd Anniversary Tour featured eight city courses (the five courses above, Los Angeles Laps, Berlin Byways, and Sydney Sprint), and lacks retro courses. The Anniversary Tour of late September of 2022 also lacked retro courses and featured the cities in the 2nd Anniversary (except Vancouver and New York, which would get their next appearance in the 2022 Autumn Tour with the return of Los Angeles Laps) along with Amsterdam Drift and Singapore Speedway.

**With new content for the game being discontinued following the 2023 Anniversary Tour, several tracks that were datamined to some extent never released. These include 2 brand new courses, codenamed "mobmu" and "mobnu," as well as Paris Promenade 4 (which has a small ID gap), SNES Ghost Valley 3 (which had an environment file show up in the data during a few tours), Wii Grumble Volcano, 3DS Wuhu Loop, 3DS Maka Wuhu, and 3DS DK Jungle (all of which had assets concretely pointing towards them). Leftovers from ''Mario Kart 8'' tied to GBA Cheese Land and 3DS Music Park also existed, though it is unknown if they were intended to be used in ''Tour'' at some point. It is also speculated that some colored block test objects were intended for Wii Block Plaza, though it's not clear if they actually were or not.

** After the system ''Tour'' uses when adding new courses was deciphered (essentially, gaps between numerical course [=ID=]s appear when a course alphabetically between 2 other tracks is gearing up for release, typically starting at 5 and growing until it's ready to be added at around a size ranging from 17-20), it was retroactively found that in mid-2020, a gap was added indicating that either N64 Banshee Boardwalk or N64 Bowser's Castle was planned (it was more likely the former course, as it may have been planned for the Halloween Tour that year). However, this gap started out at a size of 2, only grew to a size of 4, and then vanished entirely, unlike every other instance of gaps. It is unclear if the course in question was entirely scrapped, with no plans to eventually bring it into the game, but it is possible.
