-'''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 [[GCN Dry Dry Desert|Dry Dry Desert]], and features an image of {{classic|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]].
