==Galaxy Air==
[[File:MK8-GXA7.png|thumb|250px|right|The Galaxy Air logo]]
'''Galaxy Air''' (often abbreviated to '''GXA''') is an airline that appears as a sponsor in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It runs flights to some of the courses from the game, so presumably transports the racers to these locations for the races. It is presumably named after [[Galaxy|Galaxies]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', or possibly even the games themselves. The logo consists of a simplified image of a yellow [[Luma]] alongside three stripes, two being dark blue and the other being turquoise, somewhat resembling a comet tail. Beneath this is the company name in a simple dark blue font. There are many variations of the logo however. One variation puts the stripes behind the Luma and gives it an outline, and "Galaxy Air" appears on the right hand side instead. This variant has many different color schemes. The other main variant shortens the stripes and adds GXA above Galaxy Air on the right hand side, and also comes in two variations. Another version of this logo instead places the text on the left of the logo and extends the three stripes coming from the Luma. Another variation of the logo places the Luma on the left and the abbreviation over the full name on the right, while another simply has just the text in that arrangement. Another variant of this version of the logo has an orange background and white text, as well as removing the outline from the Luma and changing its eyes to orange, and the colors of the stripes to turquoise instead of dark blue and white instead of the original turquoise.
As well as the variations, Galaxy Air also advertises using posters which illustrate specific destinations. One of these is for [[Dry Dry Desert (GCN)|Dry Dry Desert]], and features an image of <small>GCN</small> Dry Dry Desert as the background with the Galaxy Air logo in the top left corner. In front of this is a green dune shape which says "Mysterious Sands." and "Dry Dry Desert" on it, and features [[Toad]]'s ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' artwork on it. There is also a rectangular version of it which shows a smaller section of the course and places Toad above the dune. Another one is for [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]] and is fairly similar in layout, but now has a pink ribbon with a magenta and white trim at the bottom instead of dunes. This now reads "The Sweetest Memories!" and "Sweet Sweet Canyon" instead, and features [[Princess Peach]]'s ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' artwork behind the ribbon instead, whereas Toad is in front. The rectangular variant has the same changes as the Dry Dry Desert one. The other poster is for [[Water Park]], and is completely different from the other two. It has the Galaxy Air logo in the top right hand corner in a yellow trapezium, which also says "Welcome to Water Park", with the "Welcome to" in orange and the rest in red. below this is an orange stripe which has "New attraction!" written on it in yellow, accompanied by another orange stripe at the bottom. In between these stripes is an image of Water Park, specifically focussed on the Sub Coaster ride, which is most likely the new attraction, and the ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' artwork of [[Koopa Troopa]].
Galaxy Air is advertised by means of posters, trackside banners, patches and signs, as well as appearing on planes, buses and departures boards, is mentioned by the airport intercom and appears on a varnish.

The announcer on the intercom in Sunshine Airport mentions two flights provided by Galaxy Air, "Passengers departing on Galaxy Airlines, Flight 2580, bound for Dolphin Shoals, should proceed to customs and immigration at this time." and "Paging Galaxy Airlines, Flight 2218, passenger Ms. [[Birdo]], please proceed to the information counter on Floor 2.". The intercom does get the company's name wrong in both of these announcements. In an earlier build of the game at an E3 demo, the starting line for Toad Harbor featured a blue starting line with Galaxy Air logos, however this was replaced in the final game with a yellow and orange one with [[Flower Cup]] logos and different textures.

Bullet Bill Speed Trial

"Bullet Bill Speed Trial" sign.
A Bullet Bill Speed Trial poster from Mario Kart 8

Bullet Bill Speed Trial is a sponsor that appears in Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, which makes a cameo appearance in Super Mario Odyssey and some of the promotional material for Nintendo's collaboration with Kansai International Airport. The company presumably either runs or times the Time Trials that can be played in the games, and has some relation to Bullet Bills. The logo of the company consists of the company's name written in a simple slanted beige-colored font on a red background, below a simplified image of a Bullet Bill on a navy blue background, in the same beige color. These rectangles are separated by a beige line. However, on the trackside banner variant, all of the writing and imagery appears in the blue rectangle, with just a thin red one underneath. The sticker variant retains the design from the trackside banners, but without the beige dividing line, and a smaller red line at the bottom. There are another two logo variants which appear on the Sport Bike's blue varnish, one which has "Bullet Bill" on the top and "Speed Trial" below in yellow, slanting to the let with another yellow line above it and a blue background. The other one is closer in design to the trackside banner variant, but now has yellow lines and writing, and removes the Bullet Bill and red strip beneath it. It is advertised by means of trackside banners, signs, cans, stickers, posters, patches, appears on a varnish and is also referenced on a map.

Galaxy Air

Galaxy Air/GXA logo from Excitebike Arena.
The Galaxy Air logo

Galaxy Air (often abbreviated to GXA) is an airline that appears as a sponsor in Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Tour, and makes a cameo appearance in Super Mario Odyssey. It runs flights to some of the courses from the game, so presumably transports the racers to these locations for the races. It is presumably named after Galaxies from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, or possibly even the games themselves. The logo consists of a simplified image of a yellow Luma alongside three stripes, two being dark blue and the other being turquoise, somewhat resembling a comet tail. Beneath this is the company name in a simple dark blue font. There are many variations of the logo however. One variation puts the stripes behind the Luma and gives it an outline, and "Galaxy Air" appears on the right hand side instead. This variant has many different color schemes. The other main variant shortens the stripes and adds GXA above Galaxy Air on the right hand side, and also comes in two variations. Another version of this logo instead places the text on the left of the logo and extends the three stripes coming from the Luma. Another variation of the logo places the Luma on the left and the abbreviation over the full name on the right, while another simply has just the text in that arrangement. Another variant of this version of the logo has an orange background and white text, as well as removing the outline from the Luma and changing its eyes to orange, and the colors of the stripes to turquoise instead of dark blue and white instead of the original turquoise.

As well as the variations, Galaxy Air also advertises using posters which illustrate specific destinations. One of these is for Dry Dry Desert, and features an image of GCN Dry Dry Desert as the background with the Galaxy Air logo in the top left corner. In front of this is a green dune shape which says "Mysterious Sands." and "Dry Dry Desert" on it, and features Toad's Mario Party 8 artwork on it. There is also a rectangular version of it which shows a smaller section of the course and places Toad above the dune. Another one is for Sweet Sweet Canyon and is fairly similar in layout, but now has a pink ribbon with a magenta and white trim at the bottom instead of dunes. This now reads "The Sweetest Memories!" and "Sweet Sweet Canyon" instead, and features Princess Peach's New Super Mario Bros. Wii artwork behind the ribbon instead, whereas Toad is in front. The rectangular variant has the same changes as the Dry Dry Desert one. The other poster is for Water Park, and is completely different from the other two. It has the Galaxy Air logo in the top right hand corner in a yellow trapezium, which also says "Welcome to Water Park", with the "Welcome to" in orange and the rest in red. below this is an orange stripe which has "New attraction!" written on it in yellow, accompanied by another orange stripe at the bottom. In between these stripes is an image of Water Park, specifically focussed on the Sub Coaster ride, which is most likely the new attraction, and the New Super Mario Bros. artwork of Koopa Troopa.

Galaxy Air is advertised by means of posters, trackside banners, patches and signs, as well as appearing on planes, buses and departures boards, is mentioned by the airport intercom and appears on a varnish.

The announcer on the intercom in Sunshine Airport mentions two flights provided by Galaxy Air, "Passengers departing on Galaxy Airlines, Flight 2580, bound for Dolphin Shoals, should proceed to customs and immigration at this time." and "Paging Galaxy Airlines, Flight 2218, passenger Ms. Birdo, please proceed to the information counter on Floor 2.". The intercom does get the company's name wrong in both of these announcements. In an earlier build of the game at an E3 demo, the starting line for Toad Harbor featured a blue starting line with Galaxy Air logos, however this was replaced in the final game with a yellow and orange one with Flower Cup logos and different textures.
