2. Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 was the first game to feature the series regular Waluigi.
3. The Thwomp’s laughter in Mario Kart 64 is actually Wario’s laugh slowed down.

9. A chain chomp item, probably similar to the one in Mario Kart: Double Dash, was suppose to be in Mario Kart Wii, however it was never implemented.
10. Thwomps are inspired by the Nurikabe of Japanese Mythology. Nurikabe were said to take on the form of walls to hold up travellers."
