Bug: A rather infamous shortcut glitch is in Wario Stadium, where the very first hill after the starting line is high enough that if you hit it at an angle you can completely jump over the wall. This cuts off a significant portion of the track, putting the player way ahead. Then on top of that, if you turn around and hit a part of the wall just right at a good angle, it will cause you to jump back over the wall before the finish line, cutting off the full track. Do it right, and you can complete the full three laps in under 30 seconds.

Bug: In multiplayer Battle mode, you can keep shooting Green Shells over and over again which will forever bounce around the track if they don't hit a player, another shell or item, or environmental hazard. If you have enough Green Shells bouncing around, the game begins to not be able to handle all the activity and the smoke behind the shells will disappear.

Trivia: In Bowser's Castle, there is a Thwomp locked behind bars, and if you bump the bars he will make a face and laugh at you. The laugh used is actually the same laugh from Wario but slightly slowed and pitched down. Rumours about this Thwomp circulated around playgrounds for years and players nicknamed him Marty. Developers even gave a nod to him in later Mario Kart games reusing the laugh. And Marty has also become the subject of several creepypastas.
