Another Mario Kart Album Races Onto Nintendo Music, Here's Every Song Included

Disappointed the title screen music doesn't feature the iconic WELCOME TO MARIO KART

I think a good number of users are eagerly awaiting the day Mario kart worlds ost gets uploaded. That’s gonna be a monster of a soundtrack

@N00BiSH Imagine walking in a store and hearing “WELCOME TO MARIO MART”

I really wish they'd add World's soundtrack, though maybe they specifically don't want to devalue the most entertaining part of their $80 sandbox.

@StewdaMegaManNerd I'd be in heaven

Oh nice, gotta say I really enjoyed the the soundtrack for Mario Kart 64. Toad Turnpike remains my favorite.

@StewdaMegaManNerd ahhh you made me remember that one time when Nintendo tried to sue a local MART in Costa Rica that was called "Super Mario" because the owner was actually named Mario.

Freaking disgusting... glad the grocery store won. It's one of the few cases people have won against Nintendo in a copyright lawsuit.

70 minutes, huh? Given the 1st-4th place results screen takes 53 minutes or so (64 loops of the first set of beats) to even get to its second set of beats, that either leaves just less than 17 minutes for the rest of the stuff or they somehow truncated the 1st-4th place results screen track to take less time to cover all of its distinct beats (probably the latter, 64 loops is quite excessive)...

@Alpha008 @Anachronism We probably won't get it for some time, they'll want people to be surprised by the songs they hear while playing, not have them spoiled by the app.

And probably not the whole soundtrack in one go, we still don't have the full soundtrack to Kirby and The Forgotten Land 😒

Did they really seperate the four raceway tracks😭

@shiningpikablu252 The app says 1 hour 0 minutes. No clue why Nintendolife again reports a different soundtrack length.

@Suketoudara The Lost World? Where is the game called like that?

correct series, wrong game

Bit of a monkeys paw wishing for Mario Kart and getting this one!

I love this soundtrack and soundfont though, nice to have this one! 🤎

@Suketoudara I imagine there reason they split Kirby up is because the switch 2 version has a new campaign, so they’ll release the rest after that comes out.

Why they couldn’t just do the full original sound track in one go, beats me, but I see their broken logic

The game itself may not have aged gracefully, but the music certainly has. Rainbow Road, Staff Credits, and Yoshi Valley are my favorites.

Curiously, I've noted that there are 32 tracks, which, when multiplied by 2, equal 64, a number contained within the game's title.

Let me know if you also noticed this.

Why are the Raceways seperate 😭

Edit: Also, Results (Time Trials) shows the battle mode results as its thumbnail and Awards Ceremony (4th - 8th Place) is labeled incorrectly (it plays in 4th place only) and has sound effects in the track.

Not complaining though.

Not the best soundtrack (personally prefer 8 Deluxe), but another good one nome the less!

MK64 is nice but we desperately need the Mario Kart World OST

The ending music and Rainbow Road here are the best (musical) tracks in the series.

Also, I think the reason new releases won't be on here that quickly is OSTs are much bigger in Japan. And yet they are so slow in getting them produced.

Definitely one of if not the best MK soundtrack. Toad’s Turnpike, Bowser’s Castle, Rainbow Road, and staff credits being my favorites. Also, some of the more simpler tunes are among the series best. Ik MK World is fairly goated but it is more so just a compilation of older music.

I've played very few of the Mario Kart's, so even though I'm a gaming veteran, I've not heard most of these tracks.

They are pretty stinkin' good though.

@N00BiSH THat is a huge bummer. Iconic line.

My first MARIO KART.

A good one, for sure.

Edit:

@ROMhaiku I always saw it as Nintendo was still learning the N64, and that's why compared to the track numbers of its predecessor, SUPER MARIO KART, it's technically 32 tracks in the game data, even though that half of those are just mirrored versions of the 16 tracks available from the get-go, using the same track assets. I like it, but I would have preferred entirely new tracks. An excellent game, regardless. And yes, a couple of times during that era of gaming, I noticed the 16/32/64 that you mentioned.

I unironically love the fact they added the same song 4 times.

@N00BiSH I imagine it's because the Japanese version has kids shouting "MARIO KAATO" instead of Mario saying "WELCOME TO MARIO KART".
Granted they could've listed it twice.

Similarly, instead of having Mario's voice on the menus, the Japanese version instead has, I believe, the announcer of Wave Race 64.

The best Kart arrives.

Mario Kart World next, please! I am dying to listen to this soundtrack while I'm at work.

I may not have been a 90's kid; but I did get this game a decade ago as a part of my arcade collection. A banger then; still one now.

Now, to boot up the title screen music and WELCOME TO MA... AWWW; COME ON! Insert "Finish (5th - 8th Place)" music.
