''Super Mario Kart'' appears as a [[Masterpiece]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. It is available from the start, with a 3 minute time limit. The provided demo immediately starts the player on {{s|mariowiki|Mario Circuit 1}} in the 50cc Grand Prix mode, as [[Mario]].

While a majority of ''Smash Bros.'' items that first appeared in ''Super Mario Kart'' had debuted [[Super Mario Bros.|7 years prior]], only two items that appear debuted in ''Super Mario Kart'': the [[Lightning Bolt]], and the [[Banana Peel]]. Similar to its appearance in ''Super Mario Kart'' and later ''Mario Kart'' games, the Lightning Bolt, when used by a player, shrinks all opponents in size, making them easier to KO; the item, however, can backfire in ''Smash'', while it cannot do so in ''Mario Kart''. The Banana Peel works similarly to how it works in ''Super Mario Kart''; an opponent can place it anywhere on the stage for another opponent to slip on.

Of note is that the [[Red Shell]] item, while originating in ''Super Mario Bros.'', behaves more similarly to its appearance in ''Super Mario Kart''. Upon being thrown, the item moves back and forward on whatever platform it lands on, quickly homing in on any opponents that land on said platform.
