1. Which cup has a course called Choco Mountain?

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64"

Answer: Flower Cup

In Choco Mountain, there are big boulders falling from the top of the course. There is also a difference in 50cc and 100cc with the guide rail that's near where the boulders are.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Special Cup

Answer: A diamond with an S in it

The Special Cup's symbol is a blue diamond with a red S in the middle of it. The star is given to the Star Cup. The silhouettes of Bowser and Mario are not used in this game.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Star Cup

Answer: Wario Stadium

The order of courses in this cup is as follows: Wario Stadium, Sherbet Land, Royal Raceway, Bowser's Castle. Wario Stadium is one of the longest courses in the game, twisting and turning in order to fill most of a rectangular stadium.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Mushroom Cup

Answer: Yellow

DK's kart is yellow, while green is given to Luigi (dark) and Yoshi (light), and red to Mario. There is no brown kart in this game. Kart colour has no bearing on how good a character is; it's just a way to distinguish between them.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Flower Cup

Answer: It has cars

Toad's Turnpike has other cars going around the track. This includes Semis (three kinds), Tankers, Minis, and School Buses. Hitting any one of them will send you into the air, giving your opponents a chance to get ahead of you. At the end of the course, the track goes from three lanes to two.

From Quiz Mario Kart 64

Answer: 3

Luigi is raced in Luigi Raceway, Mario is raced in Mario Raceway, and Peach is raced in Royal Raceway. You can race all of these ghosts after completing one of those tracks in a certain amount of time.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64"

Answer: 10

These crabs are not all over in Koopa Troopa Beach. They only appear in certain areas in that course.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Special Cup

Answer: Eight Silver Coins

A ship can be seen sailing along the river in DK's Jungle Parkway. The bridge is located near the end of the course and crosses in front of the waterfall. It leads straight into the short cave located right before the starting line. The eight silver coins is a reference to "Diddy Kong Racing" where one of the challenges is to collect eight silver coins on each course. They are not found in "Mario Kart 64".

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Star Cup

Answer: Light

Peach, Yoshi, and Toad are all light weights. They have good acceleration, and do not sink much when straying off course into grass or sand. They can be easily knocked aside by medium or heavy weight racers with ease, though.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Mushroom Cup

Answer: A Hot Air Balloon

Straight ahead from the starting line is a hot air balloon with an item box hanging from it. There is a small ramp that you can get air off of in order to snatch this item off the balloon provided it's low enough. After this is the first corner, and then finally, the tunnel. Chain Chomps are not found on this course.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Flower Cup

Answer: Purple

Wario's kart is purple, while DK's is yellow and Bowser's is orange. There is not a grey kart. The colour of anyone's kart doesn't affect game play.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Characters

Answer: Wario

Wario debuted in "Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins", where he captured Mario's castle. He has been Mario's rival until "Super Mario 64 DS", when they teamed up.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Special Cup

Answer: Water

As with most stages, when you fall off the course, you'll land in water. Lava is used only in Bowser's Castle, and you can fall into nothingness if you jump off Rainbow Road. When you fall into water, lava, or nothingness, Lakitu will come and rescue you with his fishing rod.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Mushroom Cup

Answer: Moles

Monty Mole has been an enemy of Mario's for quite a few games now. His mole holes can be found all over Moo Moo Farm, where he'll pop up randomly. If you run into him, he'll send you into the air as if hit by a shell.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Flower Cup

Answer: Four

In each pullout there are four item blocks. The pullouts are actually quite convenient for passing, because the other cars on the road won't pull into them.

From Quiz Mario Kart 64

Answer: 4

Mushroom Cup, Flower Cup, Star Cup, and Special Cup are all of the cups.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64"

Answer: Magikoopa

Many people wondered why was this character in the demo version but not in the whole game. They could have had 10 characters instead of 8.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Special Cup

Answer: Chain Chomps

Chain Chomps are those large black balls that have eyes and large mouths. In other Mario games, they would normally have a chain holding them to some stationary object, limiting their effective range. In "Mario Kart 64", however, they travel along Rainbow Road in the opposite direction they you are traveling, without any restrictions. They just keep chomping along, and if you hit one, you'll be sent into the air.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Star Cup

Answer: Thwomps

Thwomps are quite annoying. They fly over head and slam down on the track, or slide back and forth to make your life difficult. If you run into one, you'll spin out of control and be set back a bit, but the real danger is being crushed, which will leave you stationary for far longer, allowing other players to pass you easily.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Mushroom Cup

Answer: Nothing

In Koopa Troopa Beach, there is a long tunnel in the side of a wall. There is a ramp pointed right at the tunnel that you have to use to access this shortcut. This is easiest if you have a mushroom to give you a boost. If you miss the shortcut, though, you'll lose quite a few precious seconds, so be careful when trying for this shortcut. The shortcut comes out on the other side from behind a waterfall.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Flower Cup

Answer: Snowmen

Snowmen are scattered all over this course. If you hit one, you will stop where you are and fly upwards. By the time you hit the ground and are able to start up again, you may find that a majority of your opponents have already passed you.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64"

Answer: 11

Every Thwomp in Bowser's Castle is blue, except one green one. When you are driving very fast, be sure to not crash into them.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Special Cup

Answer: Orange

Bowser's kart is orange while blue is given to Toad, and green is given to both Luigi (dark), and Yoshi (light). Kart colour does not affect game play and is merely there to help differentiate the other racers when racing.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Star Cup

Answer: They both spin out

Although there is a decreased chance of it, if two racers of the same weight class collide, there is a chance that both will spin out. If this is done during a battle, then both players will lose a balloon.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Flower Cup

Answer: Medium

Mario and Luigi are Both in the Medium weight class. Yoshi, Peach, and Toad are all in the Light class, while DK, Wario, and Bowser are considered Heavy.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64"

Answer: Donkey Kong

By unlocking the new title screen you must complete every cup and receive a gold trophy. It will be a challenge to get gold trophies on one of the four cups.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Special Cup

Answer: Falling Yoshi eggs

Yoshi's Valley has sheer cliffs at some parts that you could fall off. If you do, Lakitu will come and put you back on course. Another hazard is the porcupines. They hang around in groups on this course, and will send your racer spinning if you run over one. Finally, there is a giant, floating Yoshi Egg near the end of the course. If you drive under it, you will be flattened and unable to move for a while, but it's not too hard to dodge.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Star Cup

Answer: Lava

Just like all his other castles in previous games, Bowser has his course surrounded with lava. It functions the same way water does. If you fall in, Lakitu will come and rescue you, and you'll be set behind a bit.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Mushroom Cup

Answer: You fly into the air as if being hit by a shell

The train is the only real challenge to this course. Depending on your difficulty, the train could be either just an engine, or have a few cars attached to it. It goes around on a circular path, half of it obscured by a mountain. You can drive along the rails, but it's much faster to just follow the course. The trick is to time yourself so that you don't hit the train, but that you don't totally stop either.

From Quiz "Mario Kart 64" Flower Cup

Answer: Yoshi

The Mario ice statue could be either Mario or Luigi. The statue's ears are too round to be Wario's, and the general head to body size ratio is leaning toward Mario. The first statue you see is the Yoshi one. The Mario statue is in the middle of a snowman concentration.
