History Funny / MarioKart8

* For a minor one: every time you honk near an opponent, they will be startled, briefly jump out of their kart, and look at you, as it to say "AAH! What was that about?".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbK-5CCazmM Going back to 150 cc after playing 200 cc is kinda hard]].

* There's actually physics on Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi's ''mustaches'' that makes them flutter in the wind as they're driving around at high speeds. It's a pretty amusing sight.

** Or the reverse: slam into an opponent, knock them into another, and hear all of them lean on their horns in impotent fury.

* The credits actually advertise the in-universe products in the game.

* There's actually physics on the various male characters' ''mustaches'' that makes them flutter in the wind as they're driving around at high speeds. It's a pretty amusing sight.

* When playing on SNES Donut Plains 3, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHRa0wEza4w the whistles from the original percussion]] are added in as part of the Frontrunning beat. It gives the impression that driving so fast that the cops are after you with their whistles.

* As an Easter Egg in Animal Crossing, hitting/crashing into a rock can sometimes rewards you with a Bell.

* As an Easter Egg in the new Animal Crossing DLC track, hitting/crashing into a rock can sometimes rewards you with a coin.

* Towards the end of every lap around Shy Guy Falls, and when you enter the mine in Wii Wario's Gold Mine, you'll pass by several pairs of Shy Guys who are pushing up and down on seesaw-style handcars. As they propel the cars, you hear them saying what's most likely the equivalent of "heave-ho" in [[VoiceGrunting their "language"]][[note]]They're saying Heigh-Ho, which is what they're called in Japan.[[/note]] to the beat of their pushing and pulling over and over again. A Shy Guy's voice is very funny to begin with, so the result is hilarious.

* Baby Park, full stop! What makes it more so in this game, is that every lap you finish, [[SongsintheKeyofPanic the music goes faster and faster and faster!]]

** In the background, there's a [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Pink Gold Baby Peach]] statue. Which is amusing considering the criticism directed at character slots being used for different versions of the same character.

** At the end of the trailer, we see a viewer's "Things To Do Before I Die" list. One of the things on the list is "[[NintendoHard beat]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels SMB2: The Lost Levels]]".

* Seeing [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] riding around in a kart. Since his model is closer to his design in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'', it doesn't look like he's comfortable in most of the karts.

* Many of the courses have various critters from the series spectating on the sidelines, such as Toads, Yoshis, and Koopas. If you get close enough to a group of Toads, or in the case of some courses simply watch their short introduction video before the race starts, you can hear a ''lot'' of Toads shrieking in excitement. They all have the same scratchy, shrill voices that they always do. It's either [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound a real treat for the ears]] or [[CuteButCacophonic enough to make you cry in agony]].

As they propel the cars, you hear them saying what's most likely the equivalent of "heave-ho" in [[VoiceGrunting their "language"]] to the beat of their pushing and pulling over and over again. A Shy Guy's voice is very funny to begin with, so the result is hilarious.
