** The game reminds you to take a break, but the reminders happen more often than the breaks they recommend.
* [[The Cameo]]: Various characters appear as Mii costumes.
** Speaking of the costumes, special note goes to [http://www.mariowiki.com/File:MiiBDLarry.jpg the] [http://www.mariowiki.com/File:MiiBIMorton.jpg Koopalings] [http://www.mariowiki.com/File:MiiBGWendy.jpg in] [http://www.mariowiki.com/File:MiiBHIggy.jpg the] [http://www.mariowiki.com/File:MiiBERoy.jpg London] [http://www.mariowiki.com/File:MiiBFLemmy.jpg 2012] [http://www.mariowiki.com/File:MiiBJLudwig.jpg iteration].

* [[Crossover]]
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Fans complaining Sonic should always win the racing events. This is wrong for multiple reasons.
** Sonic's standard running speed was not particularly fast, at least not until ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', which came out over a year after the first ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' game. Any hyper speed before that was due to spin dashes or speed boosters. That being said, cutscenes in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'' [[Cutscene Power to the Max|did show Sonic going at incredibly fast speeds]].
** Sonic wouldn't use his super speed, nor any of the boosts or spins, because in-universe, Sonic's good sportsman-like nature means he wouldn't flaunt his talents and would instead give the others a fair chance at winning, as we've seen in other racing games with Sonic.
** Mario's running speed was not particularly slow. In-universe, he's been seen to [[Super Paper Mario|outrun soundwaves]] and [[Super Mario World (video game)|run u]][[Super Mario 64|p walls]]. Mario is [[Humble Hero|known to be humble]], and not flaunt his talents too much.
