Wave 4 SOUNDTRACK REACTION (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass) 

None grow up and turn your hat forwards ..ever hea4d of @GeorgeCarlin stand up.... don't watch it you'll weep with embarrassment.. you being a piss weak about boy...turn your hat forwards

Hey Sammy, it was really cool when you used to piano and showed us the chord/notes used, what are your thoughts doing that more often, or even having a special video, showing us some notes/chords in a few different songs from Mario Kart or games? Actually, would be cool to see you play drums, SammyDrums! Some of these beats sound fun to play on drums! As a fellow musician, definitely enjoy your musical analysis!

I hope you do a sequel to the Viewer's Choice Soundtrack Reaction!

​@@Rubberman202Same!

​@@TimVigillaWould be cool.

Honestly makes sense. Considering how goofy Double Dash soundtrack can get

@@mutiiYT more like how goofy of a character Waluigi is - it suits him perfectly

Hi Mayro. Since you commented on a video by a RU-vidr with less subscribers than you I must ask you to comment on one of my videos since I also have less subscribers than you.

@@mutiiYT it does suit it

But if it was who was there to replace waluigi

Oh yes

ngl mario circuit is one of the only complex circuit tracks out there

Yesir.

As a dutch person you described that perfectly

​@@Rvchnoob51Nice.

Maybe when you're playing on 200cc

It's cool knowing your opinions too!

It actually plays throughout the whole song.

Nice pfp and name.

@@jumentoqueanima thx

Thanks!!

That’s the thing I’m surprised he missed. He mentioned that it was shared music for both Waluigi Stadium and Wario Colosseum, so the music had to fit both characters. Now, the music was solely recreated for Waluigi Stadium, and they definitely made it goofier to fit Waluigi. (It’s why I didn’t like how DS Waluigi Pinball reused the Wario Stadium music… I don’t think it works as well. That music was created with Wario’s character in mind.) Besides which, I think the new arrangement better fits the overall style of Mario Kart: Double Dash.

@@PianistTanooki I agree. Especially the last thing you said. That’s something that they’ve done rly well with the soundtrack in this wave. The remixes/remakes of the music from the older games feel true & respectful to the style of the soundtracks OF those games. DS Mario circuit feels very true to the original with all the retro sounding synthesizers and record scratches while at the same time, sprucing it up to modern standards and adding nice flairs like the horns. Same with DK Summit. Still feels true to the Wii game’s style but with some nice new touches. And like you said, Waluigi stadium very much matches the chaotic zaniness of Double Dash.

Thank you!! It will come next week sometime! On vacation this week :)

Ahh im glad too! Thanks so much.

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you! Hope this will be another great one.

Toad's Turnpike as well I think?

GCN Bowser's Castle, as well.

@@yoshistar705connormiller9 that one is already in my comment lol

@@Stratilex Whoops, didn't notice that.

Thank you!

I can see it. I like it tho

18hrs ago?

@@Circle2947 premiere

😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Hope you enjoyed it!

I’m also curious about what how Piranha Plant Cove will sound!

@@JonathonV we will see

Well, there is the music leak, I think it will sound great

And it does

I was expecting to either love or hate the Vancouver Velocity glow-up, and it was neither! Same with Piranha Plant Cove. I like the synth choice in VV slightly less, as well as the beat emphasis in PPC, but they’re not significantly different so I’m cool with them.

Yeah nice I figured!

Good point!!

It's spelled B-A-N-G-K-O-K.

He's just enjoying it haha

I can see that for sure!

Singapore Speedway is that one track that manages to be both eye candy and ear candy at the same time, while also being really fun to drive on. It's probably my new favorite track in the entire game.

Agreed

You’re definitely not wrong and I do think overall the evolution from the 8-bit music to what we have today with live orchestra arrangements are like light years better. I think with discussions like this though, personal preference and nostalgia plays a role. I think what Sammy was trying to say (and what I took out of it) is that even limitations and imperfections can create the perfect listening experience and bring up those fun, nostalgic moments that a live band can’t really fully replicate. They can come close, but sometimes the live band feel may not quite the same feeling the original score can produce. Personally it’s a fascinating discussion. Objectively I think we can agree the evolution of video game music is getting better for gaming experiences and that video game developers can create their full potential with that evolution. But I can see, especially with older gamers how a soundtrack from the old NES, SNES, N64 and others can create that feeling of perfection without truly being perfect. But I can see how a live band makes soundtracks and video game experiences unique and better overall. As it is with everything associated with video games (and with a lot of things) it’s subjective and things hit differently to different people.

@@andymarten I just saw this now. I definitely understand what he's saying and admire his appreciation for how composers worked around the limitations of the hardware back then. And I do agree that some of it holds up, like Yoshi's Island. However, a lot of his takes in other videos tend to have this "the old version is better because it reminds me of my childhood," or "the old music is better because it sounds retro" mindset. It's a very biased, nostalgic take. "Retro" is a relative term that changes with each generation. At one point, "retro" video game music meant music from the 80s, which meant 8-bit chiptunes on the NES. Then "retro" expanded to include the SNES and 16-bit music, and later the Nintendo 64… and then the GameCube, etc. We're at the point where a lot of today's teens or young adults grew up with the Wii. For these individuals, "retro" for them is stuff like Super Mario Galaxy… music that is largely performed by a live band/orchestra. For these people who grew up with music that didn't have the same hardware limitations from the 80s and 90s, they're not going to have the same appreciation for NES/SNES/N64 music. These people are going to look at it far more objectively and will more than likely say, "wow, this sounds awful." When you remove the nostalgic factor, very few people are actually going to go "Wow, if only Eric Miyashiro could top the sound of Nintendo 64 trumpets… he needs to practice more." Like I said in my original comment, composers wrote the music the way they did on the NES/SNES because that's all the hardware could produce. If given the option to redo their own music, you can bet your ass they'd redo it and make it sound less "retro." A great example of this is the Super Mario RPG remake, where the same composer, Yoko Shimomura, went and redid all of her original music.

⁠​⁠@@PianistTanookiAgain, I don’t disagree with anything you said in terms of music quality and how people retro music has changed throughout time. And I agree it is a biased, nostalgic take. The only thing I disagree is that he never made a blanket comment saying that retro music is objectively definitively better than today’s orchestral arrangements. He has stated several times in all of these videos, but especially this one and wave 6 that he usually prefers the simpler, MIDI versions and he gives his reasons why. But he also appreciates and usually likes the 8 Deluxe versions. You can agree or disagree with his reasons, but just to be fair to him, he mentions frequently that it is his opinion and he does explain why he comes to that conclusion.

True!
