Mario Kart 64

Synopsis
Three... Two... One... GO! The signal light changes and you drop the pedal to the metal. Take on up to three friends in the split-screen VS games, or race solo in the Mario GP. Tell your friends to bring it on in the highly competitive Battle mode. Advanced features allow you to race with your "Ghost." The driving data from your best run appears as a transparent character on the screen. No longer must you simply race against the clock -- you can actually race against yourself!

VHS
A VHS tape titled "Mario Kart 64 Perfect Video" was released about a month after the North American release of the game. Like the Super Mario 64 VHS, it features the same host from that video and runs for 40 minutes in length, and was distributed by Pioneer, GTV, and Mario the Video.

Regional differences
Of the following facts, these show what is different in the Japanese version of Mario Kart 64:
 * 1) Some of the characters' voices, as well as the announcer throughout the game, are different.
 * 2) The sponsor tag for "Luigi's" was changed to "Luigip", an imitation of Agip.
 * 3) The word "MARIO STAR" is now "Marioro", a parody of Marlboro.
 * 4) The Yoshi logo, along with the paw print, is now "Yoshi 1", which is a ripoff of "Mobil 1".
 * 5) The Nintendo logo is now blue instead of red.
 * 6) "Koopa Air" changes colors, to make it look a lot like Goodyear's logo.
 * 7) The "64" changes from blue and white to orange and blue, making it look like the "76" logo.
