The arrangement returns in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, now titled "Luigi Raceway" where it can be played on the same stage, and in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now titled "Luigi Raceway - Mario Kart 64", where it can be played on any Super Smash Bros.- and Mario Kart-series stage.

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart 7

Mario Kart 7 uses the original version of the theme from Mario Kart 64 for N64 Luigi Raceway. However, when the player is driving at top speed while in first place, additional percussion is added to the theme's instrumentation.
