It was inevitable. Even if it’s a soundtrack I don’t really care at all about, it really should have been here by now so it’s good it’s here
I literally squealed. I have been waiting for this one! Vanilla Lake, Rainbow Road, and Koopa Beach on loop. YES!
Sweet! I haven't listened to this one before, so I'll be happy to enjoy it tomorrow.
Man, they've been really hitting me in the nostalgia feels these last few releases. Love it! Keep these classics coming Nintendo!
Nintendo is adding music at a nice cadence, imo.
@MeloMan That title screen song alone got me feeling like a kid again!
This is definitely a Mario Kart Switch 2 reference. I even played Super Mario Kart recently on NSO after that, so this is personally ironic.
Here are my top five tracks:
1. Mario Circuit- A timeless classic that gets me in the Mario Kart mood every time!
2. Rainbow Road- Not as familiar with the first Rainbow Road as I am with others, but this is still a very catchy tune that I grew to love as well.
3. Battle Mode- A nice, varied track for messing around a large arena.
4. Super Mario Kart Title Screen- Just hearing this cheery tune brings back memories instantly.
5. Bowser Castle- Just a remix of Mario World's final boss theme, perhaps, but it's a good one!
Over DS or Wii? Ok. . .
Still a better SNES soundfont than LTTP, though.
I see what you're doing Nintendo, getting us subliminally hyped for the new Mario Kart...well it's working.
Oh yay! I was thinking they wouldn’t add any Mariokarts besides 8, so that means Wii is still in the cards!
By far the worst Mario Kart, but it had to be added eventually. Could have been worse
@YunoboCo yeah, like. . .shudders. . .YOSHIS NEW ISLAND.
ok, I unironically liked the grass theme and Bandit Valley from that game.
My favorite Race Results theme is a tossup between Donkey Kong Jr. and Koopa Troopa, but I'll give bonus points to Bowser for going so hard.
I know there's way too many characters these days to make it feasible, but listening to these again makes me want characters to have their own results themes again.
You know it's strange. I didn't grow up with Nintendo personally. I had other game systems. Yet, I had friends who did. The weird yet pleasant thing is I can remember the distinct music from many of those games of past. They're like a implanted memory that stays even if parts of my memory become hazy.
From SNES till now those sounds have stayed with me. Perhaps that's just magic of these little tunes that have stood the test of time.
Bowser’s Castle, best theme. For me at least.
Rainbow Road on repeat ad nauseum.
That's awesome this soundtrack is so iconic. It's one of the first soundtrack that struck us with super typically snes sound chip music and sounds the snes could produce and it's super nostalgic because no other console sounds like the snes. It's got that unique super comfy and cosy yet energetic snes sound design.
I can throw this whole thing in my favourites, absolute banger!! 🥰
The joy of getting one of these presents every week is still awesome! 🥰
Better than I remember this one.
I love the whole soundtrack, even the very first Rainbow Road theme, I was just playing this the other day hours after I saw the Mario Kart 9 teaser to celebrate the reveal.
Finally I can start my Now and Then playlist where I have the original music play followed by it's rearranged counterpart. Hopefully the rest of the series comes in the future
Soyo Oka - LEGEND!!!!
Oh yeah that’s a proper classic!
You could, by the way, name the composers: For this game it was Soyo Oka, she’s on Instagram too and deserves a lot more attention!
A good pick me up today 😊 thanks Nintendo!
Gotta give this a proper listen! One of the best games on SNES, for sure and the soundtrack was always banger after banger!
Well, today is Mario Kart's 32nd birthday in Europe after all.
Runs straight to Bowsers victory theme. Banger!
I'll be listening to this later for sure, but I really hope Xenoblade gets some love on this app soon...
This OST's amazing. Super Mario Kart: one of the greats.
The thought of more Mario Kart soundtracks being added went straight over my head for some reason...just goes to show how good MK8's is!
I'd love to see Mario Kart Wii next although I can imagine them leaning towards 64 with it being on NSO and all.
I love that they included the sped up final lap tracks.
Koopa Beach! That track has been stuck in my head since the 90s, but I'm not complaining.
Noice!
Now I have new driving music!
This game had such a unique and fun soundtrack. Glad to see this added!
I’m kinda enjoying the pace of releases here. I prefer the sound quality of Wii era -forward games though. While Im happy for the retro classics, Skyward sword is the only soundtrack that wasn’t available on launch of the app that Ive come back to over and over.
Lovely addition to Nintendo Music in general and also quite nostalgic for me personally since this was my first Mario Kart as a kid thanks to having an SNES (and also an NES and a Master System) at home thanks to my older siblings - the very first console my parents got also for me was the Nintendo 64!
Still waiting on TotK...
