'''Luigi's''' (known as '''Luigip''' in Japan) is a sponsor that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. The logo consists of the name written in a red font on a yellow background. The Japanese version is based on the logo of {{wp|Agip}}, which was a major {{wp|Formula One|Formula 1}} advertiser at the time, using the same font and color scheme. The background is yellow with the company name written on it in a black font with lines through the middle of the letters, with the dot of the second "I" lacking the line and being colored red. | '''Luigi's''' (known as '''Luigip''' in Japan) is a sponsor that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''.

The background is yellow with the company name written on it in a black font with lines through the middle of the letters, with the dot of the second "I" lacking the line and being colored red. on the left of the text is a stylised version of Luigi's eyes, nose and moustache in black within a square outline with rounded corners. The reference in both the name and logo was removed in the western versions presumably to prevent a lawsuit from Agip, although the Japanese logo was later adapted in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' into a new [[List of recurring sponsors in the Mario Kart series#Luigi Grand Prix|Luigi Grand Prix]] logo. It is advertised by means of trackside banners and signs. | ||

[[File:Mario Star MK64.png|thumb|250px|A Mario Star sign]] | '''Mario Star''' (known as '''Marioro''' in Japan) is a sponsor that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. Although it is unclear what the sponsor does, it appears to have some relation to [[Mario]]. The logo consists of the company name written in an all-capitals blue font on a white background with a red line above and below the text. The Japanese logo is based on that of {{wp|Marlboro (cigarette)|Marlboro}}, which was a major {{wp|Formula One|Formula 1}} advertiser when the game was released, and also where the Japanese name comes from. It consists of the company name in a black serif font on a white background, with a red rectangle with a triangle shape removed from the top on the right, an inverted version of the Marlboro logo. This was likely changed in the western versions of the game to avoid a lawsuit from Marlboro or to remove the tobacco reference. It is advertised by means of signs and trackside banners. | ||
