== Sonic R? ==

It says on the Trivia that Mario Kart R's name was changed because Sega threatened to sue. But Sonic R came out in 1998. Should it be taken down?

::As far as I can tell you, the name that the game was originally trended was mean to be ''Super Mario Kart R''. I actually did some research and according to Wikipedia, both ''Sonic R'' and ''Mario Kart 64'' were released in 1997. '''[[McAusten]]!'''

==Mini Bomb Kart ==
I don't think the [[Mini Bomb Kart]] is really "character", but it should be linked to somewhere. Perhaps the articles should just be merged? {{unsigned|Turkishcoffee}}

== Beta elements - White Mini Bomb Kart ==

As far as I can see on the picture of Frappe Snowland, I can easily tell that that is just a snowman without a head. There wasn't official confirmation about it being a Mini Bomb Kart anyways. Should we delete the information? {{User:Toad'ShyGuy/sig}}

I think so, if it hasn't been already. {{User|Baja}}

== 4th place easter egg? ==

Should someone add the 4th place cutscene easter egg to the trivia section?  It's something that I found out about recently, and didn't see it here, so I was wondering if it should go here.

== HUD ==

Is it all right if I add a small section about it? [[User:Chilex|Chilex]] ([[User talk:Chilex|talk]]) 01:49, 12 July 2013 (EDT)

== Mushroom Cup Trivia ==

I noticed that all three courses that returned in Mario Kart 7 were all from the Mushroom Cup. I know it's kind of a lame piece of trivia, but I thought it was cool.

Hi, has written what I could Mario Kart R for Mario Kart 64 please ? --[[User:Captain Yoshi|Captain Yoshi]] ([[User talk:Captain Yoshi|Yes ?]]) [[Special:Contributions/80.14.141.65|80.14.141.65]] 18:31, 7 March 2015 (EST)

== Title Theme ==

I can't hear any similarities between this game's title theme and ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'''s title theme. [[User:Torey|Torey]] ([[User talk:Torey|talk]]) 14:37, 24 January 2018 (EST)
:You can hear specifically by comparing the parts indicated (in parentheses) below. The ''MK64'' version is considerably slower. <br> [[:File:SMK-Music-MainTheme.oga|''SMK'']] (4s ~ 7s ~ 10s) <br> [[:File:Main Theme - Mario Kart 64.oga|''MK64'']] (14s ~ 27s ~ 38s) <br>--[[User:PhGuy12|PhGuy12]] ([[User talk:PhGuy12|talk]]) 20:48, 24 January 2018 (EST)

== Character stats ==
I notice the only attribute listed for each character is the weight class. No effect on, or separately determined values for acceleration, handling, top speed, etc are listed, aside from vague (and rather long-winded) notes taken in the prose. This is at odds with pretty much every other listed kart game, so I feel that for this article to be truly complete, they should be listed with the characters. Is there any known way of obtaining them, be it a guidebook or internal variables? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 11:08, June 9, 2023 (EDT)
:From a glance, I read that the information from the reference, TASVideos is pretty technical and reliant on graphs.[https://tasvideos.org/GameResources/N64/MarioKart64#DriverAttributes] Even if we listed just the numbers, without the context for them, it wouldn't make much sense. I think prose was the best way to summarize the information and I found the prose itself pretty followable. {{User:Mario/sig}} 01:08, June 10, 2023 (EDT)
::The official site descriptions imply there are statistical differences between characters of the same class, though, in which case the prose isn't descriptive enough. Look at any other kart page, and you can see who has the absolute best acceleration.
