In the Japanese version of Mario Kart 64, instead of the announcer and menu options being voiced by Mario they are instead voiced by the same VA who played the announcer in Wave Race 64: John Hulaton.
According to John in an interview with DidYouKnowGaming?, after recording his lines for Wave Race 64 he was handed a slip of paper and was then told to record the lines on it without being told what it was for. These lines ended up being for Mario Kart 64.
John's agent was reportedly very upset, as John was not paid for these lines and on top of that John's name was misspelled as 'John Huraton' in the credits.
The lines John recorded would then later be used in the Japanese and International versions of Mario Kart: Super Circuit, where John remained uncredited.

The Wii U Virtual Console port of the game has the option to select both Multiplayer and Ghost Exchange. However, both options are locked out due to the physical game requiring the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable, which unlocks those game modes on the actual Game Boy Advance hardware.

An unused test course can be found stored in the game's memory. Its mini-map resembles the Peach Circuit track, and has no AI routes for CPU drivers. It uses the same background music that plays in Peach Circuit, Luigi Circuit, and Mario Circuit.
