1:04. This is the best part, because not only does it sound great, but it takes it back to the original one to make you think 'look how far it's come,' especially me since the series is older than I am, before taking you back to the main theme.
Man, I’m pretty young so my first Mario Kart game was Mario Kart Wii when I was 5 or so. I sucked at it (and replaying it now it’s still extremely unforgiving), but then my grandma bought a Wii U for me and my aunt and uncle (we were all within 7 years apart) and man I played that thing for hours and hours. Even now after my grandma gave the Wii U away (although my family still has the Wii) I still play Mario Kart 8 on my PC with an emulator my uncle helped me set up. It’s not quite the same, but I love this game to death.
1:04, brings back memories to the old super nintendo. When mario kart games used sprite graphics. And the tracks were all flat because of the limitations of the super nintendo and mode 7 and when television sets were heavy and bulky
THIS SONG IS SUCH A BANGER!!! i just started playing mario kart 8 deluxe after 3 years of not touching my switch at all and i legit remembered how much i loved this game and the music in it!!!
The best part of this is, you can tell, you can just tell, for all that's going on, and the obvious fact of it being a build to the OG theme being reprised, is that everyone involved, from musicians, to the composer/arranger, is having an absolutely wonderful time
I somehow totally forgot how AMAZING this game's soundtrack was. This tune randomly popped up in a playlist and I've been listening to it for about an hour now.
