On the DLC track Super Bell Subway, a map of the city can be seen on the wall at the beginning of the course. This map appears to have the same structural layout of the city seen below the N64 Rainbow Road course, suggesting that the two courses take place in the same geographical area alongside Toad Harbor, which has also been marked on the map.

Going up to the Yoshis that are watching the race in several courses will cause them to make Yoshi noises. But there is a random chance that they might start humming Totaka's Song, an 18-note melody that composer Kozumi Totaka has hid in almost every game he has ever worked on. Totaka also does the voice for Yoshi.

A single unused test course exists in Mario Kart 8. It's a copy of Mario Circuit from the Flower Cup, but without music. Additionally, the orange arrow signs are not animated. According to interviews, Mario Circuit was the first track designed for this game, so this is very likely intended for testing. It works the same in Battle Mode as well.
