Signs/Ads
Super Mario Kartcool!
This is just a sign that has the original Super Mario Kart logo on it, with a background that's reminscent of a the title screen from the SNES game

Danger!!!
This is a sign that features a Pirhana Plant, one which is apparently eating the word 'Danger!!!'. This is to warn players about the Pirhana Plant that chomps them if they were to fall into its sandy trap...even though the sign is actually positioned after the area where the trap is located. Thanks for the warning...!

Sunshine Parts
There isn't much to say besides the fact that 'Sunshine' is in reference to the game Super Mario Sunshine
Other
Character Faces
The faces of Baby Mario, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Koopa Troopa, Luigi, Birdo, Peach, Wario and Mario can be found on many of the monuments in this level, most notably on the one at the start/finish line

Pirhana Plant
This one is obvious, but there's a huge Pirhana in the sand trap that players can fall into if they're not careful in their steering. Notably, while it does chomp the racers, it does not seem to chomp Lakitu. To see that, drive the 'wrong way' into the hole. Lakitu will hold the sign indicating that the player is going the wrong way and will not get chomped by our friendly Pirhana
