Trivia

• Various names from The Legend of Zelda series appear on the scoreboard.
• In the North American version of the game, there is a password screen, accessed while holding A+Z+R while having Clubhouse highlighted on the main menu. There are only 3 known passwords, 2 of which gain access to the Hyrule Cup, and the other unlocks a Special Tournament Mode.
• Wario's in-game model shows that he is wearing pink shoes instead of green. However, they are green in the game's artwork and his shoes are changed to the correct color in Mario Tennis.
• Two of Wario's alternate costumes, his red and blue outfit and his black and white outfit later appeared as one of his alternate costumes in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
• This game marks the first appearance of Gold Mario, predating the power-up for Mario in New Super Mario Bros. 2 by thirteen years.
• This is the first game where Baby Mario wears a shirt and overalls (similar to his adult counterpart).
• This is also the first Mario game where Jen Taylor voices Princess Peach.
• Yoshi's sound effects in this game were recycled from Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Mario Kart 64.
• The six courses in this game were later ported into Mario Golf: World Tour, but with updated graphics and elements from New Super Mario Bros. U.
