The Mario Kart 8 DLC SOUNDTRACK is AMAZING! 

All I wanted from the dlc is more Mario kart 8 styled music, and they absolutely delivered on that. Can’t wait to listen to some of the likely courses getting in like, Sunset Wilds, Cheep Cheep Island, Mushroom Gorge, Koopa Beach 2, Maple Treeway, Los Angeles Laps, Wario Shipyard, DK Summit, etc…

0:00 - Intro 3:00 - Wii Coconut Mall 4:31 - 3DS Toad Circuit 6:31 - DS Shroom Ridge 7:58 - GBA Sky Garden 9:10 - Tour Tokyo Blur 11:03 - Tour Paris Promenade 12:57 - N64 Choco Mountain 14:53 - Ninja Hideaway 17:42 - Outro

Loved the musical analysis, hope you'll do it for the other waves!

Nintendo is really on another level when it comes to make music for their game. Those new soundtracks are bangers!

Choco Mountain's new arrangement gives me Moo Moo Meadows vibes, they didn't need to go that far, for an arrangement but they did it, and i love it. Moo Moo Meadows is absolutely my favorite re-arrangement, and now Choco Mountain comes in close second

Shroom ridge slaps. Yes. I love shroom ridge. Fight me

The new Paris remix is simply magical, the flute and swing add to it so much! Cannot wait to see what they do with London, LA and especially Berlin and Vancouver!

To me Ninja Hideaway just sounds like a what if you got the composers from the Splatoon series to compose a song for Mario Kart.

Please tell me this is gonna be a regular thing, would love to hear your musical feedback on the other upcoming Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC tracks as well.

With future tracks coming out, don’t stop making these videos! It’s such an interesting perspective you bring! Keep it up 👍

I did a sound check, and wow the differences between Tour and Deluxe is amazing.

I think it would be a huge opportunity if you did this for all the tracks, or at least retro tracks that already exist in the game. Your analysis has made me appreciate the little details even more.

16:38 I didn't expect to appear here XD btw I'm a big fan of Ninja Hideaway music, I think MK8's version is a bit better but not by far :) I hope you will react to the other waves too, it was pretty neat! :D

The shroom ridge theme is SO GOOD!!!!!!!!! It brings back good feelings from playing it on DS and it SLAPS

Great to see these MKT tracks getting some love in the DLC and looking forward to the Samurai Tour :)

Outstanding edits on this, it really enhances the delivery.

So I'm not alone preferring Tour's rendition of Sky Garden over MK8D's. Not sure why it's that. The electronic theme of Tour gives that crunchy GBA vibe that Super Circuit had.

While I loved your analysis and it's clear that you have a lot of musical knowledge, I fundamentally disagree with your opinions that some of the tracks are to "over the top". I f-ing *love* the over the top nature of these songs, its what gives them personality. I remember you said one of the tracks goes "too hard". In my opinion a track could *never* go too hard, Nintendo could make a heavy metal track for Mario Kart and I would eat it up. I'm the kind of person who usually wants songs to go *harder*, I think that's why I love Hyperpop so much, it lets songs go as hard as possible, literally distorting the music if necessary. At the end of the day it's ok these are just differing opinions, its just so rare that I ever see anyone talk about how a track hoes "too hard" nowadays :P

VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology, and it's a software interface that allows users to integrate virtual instruments and effects into digital audio workstations (DAWs). VSTs use digital signal processing (DSP) to simulate traditional recording studio hardware.

I’d like to say that the 8 version of ninja hideaway fits well and I like it more because usually in tour, when you play a map, the road is usually streamlined and on the path, but in 8, people are zipping by, going in multiple branching paths and the twists and turns and energy of “where do I go?” Gets a bit intense, and that intensity is then amplified by the song. Not to mention that the misic lines up so well when you play it. And that’s what I think they were going for when you hear the song and you feel that.

My favorite music from Mariokart is Sky Garden, and although I love the new version, some elements are missing, especially the melodies that went along the main melody, that are pretty much missing now.

This is something you don't see very much, a video of someone reacting to VIDEOGAMES music and i really like the idea

I’d love to watch your reaction to the music of the future waves, this was a highly entertaining watch

I really like to see MK8 and MKT getting Fusion, and love to hear Music and play MKT Tracks on MK8. I'm so exiting for next future wave tracks too. Like your Reaction, It was feels like listening to a lecture by a musician. 😀

The music you have after at 17:40 of the mario kart results music brought back some happy memories.

Please, please, please do this for all the DLC that comes out! I loved this video!

I took a listen to all the soundtracks of the unique tour courses, and if there’s anything that blew me away in the first 10 seconds, it would be Berlin. It just goes so hard and intense before continuing just as strong with more orchestral sounds.

1:35 "Kenta Nagata", it's sounds like "who is in the cat" in my country.

Great analysis on this new soundtrack! Have you considered doing similar content on remixes of the Mario kart tracks? It's a thriving community on YT (of which I'm a part). Always cool to hear how we all interpret music so differently!

Ninja Hideaway SLAPS

Toad Circuit layout has not much too offer but the Remix though….

1:36 I think that's incorrect, Kenta Nagata is credit as a music director not composer this time. Although, I could be wrong.

Dude - as one music producer to another, great job 👏

I'm watching this video the day the wave 6 reaction releases. this video has become nostalgic and the wave 1 music was some of the best in the bcp.

Tokyo Blur and Toad Circuit might not be the best tracks of the DLC, but they sure are hella underrated, and they by far are some of the best osts of the ENTIRE GAME!

Awesome video!

Great video, yeah, I definitely enjoyed the soundtracks, keep it up!

Quite disappointed with ninja hideaway's music remake. The electric guitar section got completely shafted. It's much quieter and is barely noticeable, not to mention it basically got replaced by the weird electro noises

You missed the best part of Choco Mountain! (with the organ i think it is) Also I'm glad they're making up for the lack of slap bass in the base (bass) game :)

14:36 You skipped the 3rd verse!

WHERE IS THE BASE GAME MUSIC REACTION BROTHA

I need Vancouver Velocity in the Booster Course Pass 2

The only caveat with the new mixes is there won't be a new remix IF the track already has its music in the game. Waluigi Pinball just uses Wario Stadium's music, meaning other examples, such as Moo Moo Farm, may follow suit

But I love the electric guitar and bass :(

Not a fan of electric guitar? Then do NOT go near the Mario Strikers: Battle League OST. XD

In Paris Promenade you neglected to mention the oboe.

I really love the music!

Have to agree that Tour's version of Ninja Hideaway sounds better. The synth in 8's version sounds too loud imo

You might as well make a part 2 soon, because wave 2 comes out later this week.

Disappointed you didn't finish the full Choco Mountain, cuz there was more

I love all the remixes! Ninja hideaway was disappointing because they removed the base in the background and coconut mall just sounds empty…

SKY GARDEN GOAT

Waluigi pinball let's gooooo!!

I'll give a few opinions on each soundtrack for this wave: N64 Choco Mountain - I definitely gotta say... I was a little disappointed at first. It just doesn't fit right with the track. I did however like the song after a while, but still imo is the most disappointing. Wii Coconut Mall - I've got nothing to say this is just pure nostalgia! DS Shroom Ridge - Holy...shit... they went all out on this track! Definitely one of the biggest bops in MK8! Tour Paris Promenade - Basically still sounds the same as I remembered, except one part in the middle is a bit different and sounds more like a sky track. Sounds pretty good, just not the best. 3DS Toad Circuit - OK remix I guess Tour Tokyo Blur - Such a underrated theme. MK8 brings it back classic style with the sax/jazz! Amazing remix! Tour Ninja Hideaway - Sounds mostly identical to the original... BUT THEY MADE IT EVEN BETTER! GBA Sky Garden - Tbh..... this is probably the best remix by far in this first wave of the Booster Course Pass. That guitar solo KILLED me!

you didnt listen to the entirety of choco mountain

Fun fact: gba snow land has the same theme as n64 choco mount

Alright but have you heard the Cupcakke remixes of the new courses 😳

WHO let the FNF character do the vocals of ninja hideaway

9:27 GUITAR? I thought it was just trumpet piano and saxophone

We’re did you get that blue shell neon sign?

Expectation: "I think they're going to add some electric guitar" Reality: There are less Electric Guitars in the MK8 version... or at least they're less noticeable.

There is not a single one song in mk8dx that's not a banger

Ninja Hideaway is the best track in the game. No cap

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Sky Garden is so much better than MKT arrangement

Still love the the ninja hideaway tour music better the booster version.

9:35 2 WHAT?

Nice video, but I definitely have different music tastes then you it seems.

Choco mountain the best!!!!

Can you please just listen to the track first before voicing your thoughts. It's annoying hearing you talk over the music
