Notes[edit]
- The trailer for this tour mistakenly featured theGold Standard instead of the newGold Pipe Frame.[7] The Gold Standard was exclusive to Coin Rush mode at the time of the Super Mario Kart Tour, not appearing in other modes until the2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour. The mistake was clarified in a reply tweet[8] to the trailer's tweet and in the YouTube video's description.
- Super Mario Kart Pipe 1's description read, "DriverMario (SNES) and kart8-Bit Pipe Frame make their debut in classic 8-bit style!" This is inaccurate for Mario (SNES), as theSNES is a 16-bit console.
