Trivia
- In the Wendy Cup, RMX Rainbow Road 1 depicted Rosalina in its icon, even though it is only treated as a favored course.
- The Los Angeles Tour was the second tour to host a Vs. Mega (opponent) race on a variation of a course, namely Los Angeles Laps R/T. The first tour to do this was the 2020 Trick Tour, which took place on SNES Mario Circuit 3T.
- Coincidentally, both races had Bowser as the Mega opponent.
