Super Smash Bros. Brawl features an arrangement of the theme as a playable track titled "Luigi Circuit". The beginning of the arrangement also features the starting grid fanfare used to signal the start of the race in Mario Kart 64. It can be played on the Mario Circuit stage.
The arrangement returns in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, now titled "Luigi Raceway" where it can be played on the same stage, and in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now titled "Luigi Raceway - Mario Kart 64", where it can be played on any Super Smash Bros.- and Mario Kart-series stage.
