Mario Kart 64 basically takes all the wishes and feature requests from Super Mario Kart and makes them come true. Four players! Tunnels! No Koopa Troopa! All good stuff. Except that last one, clearly.

Debug Menu
This game contains a debug menu; to enable it, use one of these GameShark codes and press L+Z at the title screen.
Version | Gameshark code | Version | Gameshark code | Version | Gameshark code |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
USA | D10F6914 2020 8018EDEF 0002 |
Japan V1.0 | D10F73C4 2020 8018C80F 0002 |
Japan V1.1 | D10F61B4 2020 8018B5BF 0002 |

Europe V1.1 | D10F6974 2020 8018EE4F 0002 |
In the debug build of the game that was leaked as part of the July gigaleak, the debug menu is enabled by default and can be activated by pressing R on the title screen.
- DEBUG_MODE activates key combinations during play:
- L+R+A+B: Reset game.
- R+B: Toggle CPU meter.
- D-Pad Right: Advance player 1 and everyone behind them to final lap.
- D-Pad Down: Advance everyone to final lap.
- D-Pad Up: Advance player 1 and one other to final lap.
- Z or C-Down can be pressed during the race start sequence to start early. This will glitch the game if done too soon.
- MAP_NUMBER selects the track. Available are the 16 single-player tracks plus the four tracks from battle mode.

- SCREEN_MODE selects the screen mode, and thus the players that participate. Available values are 1 player, 2 player up/down, 2 player left/right, 3 players and 4 players. The two player left-right view is never used in the final game, and is somewhat glitchy.
- PLAYER selects the first player. If you have more than one player, the game assumes Luigi for player 2, Yoshi for player 3 and Toad for player 4.
- SOUND MODE simply selects the sound mode (mono, headphones, stereo).
- PUSH B TO GET ALL GOLDCUP is fairly self-descriptive. This option only appears when the cursor is moved all the way to the bottom.
Note that if you try to start a one-player game on a battle map, the game will automatically add a second player.
XXX Sound Mode
GameShark code switches the sound mode to "XXX" on the debug menu and blank in the Options menu. Its purpose is not known.

CPU and Graphic Display
When Debug Mode is enabled, the following GameShark codes can be used:
- Debug Mode Enabled.

Europe V1.0 | 800DC6F1 0001 | Europe V1.1 | 800DC683 0001 |
While the CPU meter is enabled, pressing L+R toggles a flag at 800DC664, but this flag doesn't seem to be accessed anywhere else. (This is done at 80004098.)
Frame-by-Frame advance
The following code activates a frame-by-frame advance mode if Debug Mode is enabled:
Version | Gameshark code |
---|---|
USA | 81001760 3C03 81001762 800E 81001794 3C0B 81001796 800E 810017C4 240C 810017C6 0000 |
When the game is paused, player 1 can hold A and B and press L to advance a frame. This unfortunately conflicts with using A to unpause the game; you must hold A before pausing. Alternatively, adding the code 81001784 2400 makes it require only holding B and pressing L while paused.
Crash Debug Screen
If the game crashes, it will draw a small white square with red border near the upper left corner of the screen. At that point, entering the code L, Up, Left, Down, Right, R, L, B, A will display some information about the cause of the crash.
The first line displays three numbers - first is unknown (usually 5, probably thread ID), second is the address of the faulty instruction, third is the exception code (as defined in the R4300i manual). The second line displays the $RA register. The third line is the opcode of the faulty instruction.
The GameShark code 810DC6FE FFFF will shorten this code to simply "press L".
This display cannot be seen on most emulators, as most plugins don't seem to continue redrawing the screen after the game crashes.
Unused Code
To do: Supposedly there's some coding that allows A.I. racers to drift. |
Track Scaling Function
Next to the mirror mode flag in memory (address 800DC608 in USA version) is a floating-point value that appears to always be set to 1.0. When a track is loaded, its height is scaled by this amount. (All polygon vertices are multiplied by this value.) Use one of the below GameShark codes to activate this feature. (default value 3F80)
Version | Gameshark code | Version | Gameshark code | Version | Gameshark code |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
USA | 810DC608 ???? | Japan V1.0 | 810DCED8 ???? | Japan V1.1 | 810DBE18 ???? |
Europe V1.0 | 810DC698 ???? | Europe V1.1 | 810DC628 ???? |
This value only affects track polygons, and hit detection is not altered to compensate for the steeper hills and/or shorter vertical walls, so changing it often produces unplayable tracks and strange effects such as floating trees, low areas being considered underwater/out of bounds, and walls that are no longer solid.
No similar scaling functions exist for the X and Z axes. This may have been intended as a debugging function to test slopes, or a bonus mode that would scale tracks to various sizes.
Vertical Splitscreen
This unused vertical splitscreen display for 2-player mode is only accessible via the Debug Menu or by using the following GameShark code below that forces the horizontal splitscreen mode to the vertical splitscreen mode when selecting a 2-player game:
Version | Gameshark code | Version | Gameshark code | Version | Gameshark code |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
USA | D00DC533 0001 800DC533 0002 |
Japan 1.0 | D00DCE03 0001 800DCE03 0002 |
Japan 1.1 | D00DBD43 0001 800DBD43 0002 |
Europe 1.0 | D00DC5C3 0001 800DC5C3 0002 |
Europe 1.1 | D00DC553 0001 800DC553 0002 |
iQue | D00D8ED3 0001 800D8ED3 0002 |
It's pretty clear why this isn't accessible normally: it's unfinished. The lap counter still displays in Battle Mode, the map goes over the second player's lap counter, and the V's and E's only appear when you're close to the camera.
This feature can be seen in some very early footage of the game from when it was known as Super Mario Kart R.
Lightning in Battle Mode
When used in Battle Mode, the Lightning Bolt makes all other players lose one balloon; however, it isn't normally possible to obtain this item, likely because it would have made battles horribly unbalanced. Code that specifically handles the Lightning Bolt's effects in Battle Mode can be found around 8008E0FC in RAM.
Bomb Warning
An unused multiplayer feature that warns players when they approach the moving bombs on the track. This can be seen in an early screenshot but was disabled in the final game. It can be re-enabled by using the GameShark codes:
Version | Gameshark code |
---|---|
USA | D10F6914 0002 800DC53B 0001 |
Start up a 3 or 4 player versus race then once in game, press C-Left once and drive near a bomb and then press C-Right until you see the bomb icon.
Feather Jump State
The player-state code contains flags indicating whether "large feather jump state" and "small feather jump state" are active. This can be activated by setting the state at 0x0F699E (NTSC-U) to 0x10 to trigger a small feather jump or by setting the state at 0x0F699D (NTSC-U) to 0x02 for a large feather jump with a slower floating animation. The feather item from Super Mario Kart wasn't included in the final game, though it can be seen in certain prerelease material.
CPU Shell Code
The game contains six tables that determine the item probabilities when hitting an item box. The first two tables are both for GP mode and determine item probabilities for a human player and a CPU player, respectively. According to the latter, CPU players have a certain chance to get Green Shells, both the single and the triple variety, but the CPU never uses shells at all, so this isn't actually ever seen in gameplay.
Unused Graphics
Menu Graphics
Among the menu graphics are two unused options, untranslated from Japanese:
Graphic | Translation |
---|---|
![]() |
Without Item |
![]() |
With Item |
Bomb Warning Icon
The bomb warning icon that shows when you're close to the moving bombs.
Early Traffic Light
An early version of the traffic light.
Early Item Boxes
The textures for the early item boxes.
Player HUD
4 Player HUDs for the multiplayer modes.
Monty Mole
While these two sprites are technically used while Monty is preparing to spring out of its hole, the player never sees the lower body while Monty is standing still.
Position Numbers
Even though the game has 8 racers, they are the 0th and 9th position for the lap progression HUD.
"GO" Sign
Texture | In-game |
---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
The bottom part of this texture cannot be seen, as the sign is too small to have the full texture. The full sign can be seen in some prerelease material.
Misplaced Item Boxes
Hidden underneath the Big Donut arena are two misplaced item boxes. These item boxes can be seen by getting the camera behind the green bars and waiting, eventually the two item boxes will float up into view. The stored Z-value of these two boxes is about 100 units less than all the other 22 boxes, causing them to appear below the course.
Since the red, blue and yellow sections of the map each contain six Item Boxes whereas the green section contains four, it's clear that these two Item Boxes were intended to appear in the map.
A Gameshark code to restore the two boxes to the course surface:
Version | Gameshark code |
---|---|
USA | D00DC5A1 0013 81160304 4375 D00DC5A1 0013 81160374 4360 |
Hidden Music Loop
The "Winning Results" track was likely intended to alternate between two ~100 second sections of music, each composed of a 50-second segment repeated twice. Due to a binary counter bug, the first segment repeats, incidentally, 64 times (for 54 minutes and 39 seconds!) before the second segment ever has a chance to play—at which point it repeats twice and correctly returns to the first segment.
Debugging Text
Most of this text probably would have been spat out to a debug console on development systems, but goes unused in the final game.

Version Differences
Audio Differences LOTS of audio was changed from the Japanese version. |
Billboards
To do: It'd help if someone could rip the graphics that aren't here yet. |
The billboards in the Japanese version are all clever parodies of real-life companies. They were (mostly) changed during localization because this would have gotten Nintendo of America in hot water.
The iQue version's billboards are based on the international designs, with the exception of the "Shot!" billboard, which was replaced with the iQue logo.

The orange 64 ball in Luigi's Raceway (a parody of the 76 gas station) was changed to blue and the 64 was given a different design.
Since none of the track preview icons were updated, the orange ball can however still be seen on the track preview even in international versions. In Mario Kart 7's version of the track, the ball was changed to yellow, but is otherwise based on its Japanese design.
The Luigip and Yoshi1 billboards can still be seen in the icon for Mario Raceway and the Yoshi1 billboard in Royal Raceway's icon.
Luigi's Raceway
The Japanese version has collision on the grass above the tunnel on Luigi's Raceway, which can be reached by bouncing off another racer and flying over the wall. The collision was removed in international versions so trying the same there just leads to you falling into the tunnel (or out of bounds, if unlucky).
Moo Moo Farm
The course "Moo Moo Farm" is called "Moh Moh Farm" in Japan. This is because mooing in Japanese is pronounced with a long "O" sound, which sounds like "moh moh".

Credits Differences
In the Japanese version, completing the Special Cup on 150cc will display a Japanese-language version of the credits. This was removed from the English version for obvious reasons.
Additionally, the Japanese version has six voice actors, while the English version only has three. Charles Martinet (the voice of Mario) is the only one to be credited in both versions. Additionally, his name is misspelled as "Charles Martinee" in the Japanese version. Thomas Spindler (the voice of Wario) and John Hulaton (the announcer) also have their names misspelled.

Wii Virtual Console Differences
Although the Wii Virtual Console releases use the exact same ROMs as the cartridges, some minor visual differences exist due to emulation errors and in-memory patches. These changes are not present in the Wii U Virtual Console release.

- The billboards have been translated.
- Most references to the Nintendo 64 were replaced with ones to the iQue Player. The only exception being the train in Kalamari Desert which still has the number 64 on the front.
- The Controller Pak manager is inaccessible since the iQue Player handles Controller Paks differently to the Nintendo 64, as each game that requires a Controller Pak has its own .pak file on the iQue Player's NAND.
- An audio glitch occurs when entering a race, going back to the main menu, going to the data screen, and then backing out to the main menu again that causes the menu music to play in a slow and low pitched tone.
- When improving your best lap in time trials, instead of the usual flashing lap time, the time is not visible during the race at all.
