I actually really like the frantic, almost overwhelming songs, like Banshee Boardwalk and Grumble Volcano, because they bear down on you so much. Admittedly, Ninja Hideaway does this concept much better, but it feels repetitive to me.
really enjoyed this take on the ranking format. when i disagreed with placings on the list, more often than not, i couldn't get that upset at a one word description rather than a few sentences making pointed judgements of the quality, which made it feel like a celebration of the music rather than a critique.
I think Nintendo just overall understands that music is a huge factor in nostalgia and general enjoyment of games. Mario galaxy, paper Mario, smash bros, Wii sports, donkey Kong, the list goes on of games where the majority of music is either memorable, enjoyable or both.
I'm honestly surprised at how drastically different our tastes in MK music are! My top choices would include Cloudtop Cruise, Toad Harbor, Dolphin Shoals, Rock Rock Mountain, and Bangkok Rush. I'm very fond of the older music as well, but I tend to prefer the newer stuff. I would love to make a complete ranking myself, but also including the battle arenas and MK8DX arrangements! I can already say up front that the top spots would be ALL MK8DX lmao
I’d agree that DS’s Shroom Ridge isn’t much more than “Optimistic”, but MK8 Deluxe’s rendition of Shroom Ridge is easily my favorite theme in any Mario kart game. I’d describe it as “Exhilarating”!
Shy Guy Bazaar is the type of song that grows on you with time, when you listen to the final lap version you understand what they were going for with the melody, and then as you race again in that track you appreciate the regular version more.
Damn, I actually disagree with a lot of this, normally I agree with these kinds of lists. Like I actually like GBA Circuit, Luigi’s Mansion, Shy Guy Bazaar, and Toad’s Turnpike I had Los Angeles Laps listed here originally but I understand people not liking the original version, that synth is pretty rough
That’s totally fine! And thank you for actually listing some tracks that you like instead of just saying you disagree/disliked my list. It’s fun to see some of the songs you all like too even if they’re vastly different from my list
I love the Double Dash and DS soundtrack though. My favorite song of all is Mushroom City. It's catchy, and somehow is the most "Mario Kart-ish" song in the series (along with the DS remake of Choco Mountain)
Mushroom City is without a doubt one of the most underrated tracks! Its literally one of the 4 remaining Double Dash recourses to make a return, and I can say with the upmost confidence, I hope it returns in the DLC more specifically wave 2.
I can’t be the only person who likes the Mushroom Bridge arrangement from DS better than the one from GCN, but that might be nostalgia bias coming in, as I never played Double Dash when I was younger, and I poured countless hours into DS.
@@nowheregiirl8115 I actually played DS way before I played Double Dash. But ever since I heard the GCN original, I actually kinda liked that one better. Probably because of MKDS console limitations.
Also fun fact about neo bowser city that makes it better imo, it’s technically a mash up between N64 toads turnpike, Wii Circuit theme and the 7’s Main theme, since all of these songs can be found on neo bowser city, pretty insane Neo Bowser City is my favorite track in 8 and possibly the entire series as a whole, it’s just really good
Thanks so much for including Tour in this. Most people wouldn’t consider it in the list as they don’t believe it’s canon with the rest of the Mario kart franchise but I’m glad you embraced it and actually enjoyed most of the songs! Of course we all have different opinions on all the songs and each persons ranking would be different but I definitely respect this
I don't think Tour is canon but I'd definitely include their OST if I made a video like this. Tour is just underrated and underappreciated, but I don't think it's really a mainstream game either.
@@Jordi6304 I wouldn’t say it’s “canon” per say in a way of saying it’s Mario kart 9, but I’d definitely say it’s part of the series. This was basically confirmed when the booster pass was released and now that MK8 and Tour share tracks we can say it’s a part of the games series. I’d say Mobile is the same as a portable device like the DS/3DS except mobile is now a platform that allows Addition content through transactions, same with the switch and the booster pass being an available add on. 😊
I don’t know why, but I just love Shy Guy Beach/Cheep Cheep Island, especially on the latter. It feels so laidback and almost feels too good for a Mario Kart Game. It kind of takes me back to simpler times, and I think that’s why I love it. Plus I’m a suckler for anything with Sunsets so that probably has something to do with it.
Loved this video! It was nice to see something like this pop up on my recommended. I think I speak for everyone when I say we wanna see the same kind of video for the retro tracks!
Super circuit tracks are criminally underrated I dislike it when people say that gba osts are bad, but games like mario kart super circuit and mother 3 will prove you wrong :)
The main problem with MKGBA is the sound chip of the console, you get use to it but it doesn't do justice to the compositions, that's why when GBA tracks get remaked with remixed music they sound so good.
@@Geneolgia i have an actual gba sp and the games i mentioned on there still sound amazing when being played My point is that the console can output great sound, people just didn’t know how (Im looking at you, mother 1+2)
@@Recarsonated Oh I agree I didn't mind the sound back then when I played with the actual console, maybe it is because I mainly use emulators nowadays so the quality of the sound could be affected by that.
Berlin Byways is my favorite, everyone was expecting stereotypical German music when that track was announced but they absolutely knocked it out of the park instead. They had no business making that song so grandiose but they did!
Para nada, actualmente la mejor musica rave y el mejor techno se originan en Alemania o son de Alemania, la cancion le queda como anillo al dedo a la pista
That's an interesting top here! Most of the ~30 bottom tier songs would be the same for me, but it would be very different for the top ones! My number 1 is Sky Garden because of how catchy and upbeat it is, and I would also put up there Shroom Ridge, Cheese Land, Delfino Square and Berlin Byways!
Thumbnail game is on point. I was ready to commit murder after seeing someone even dare to pair Coconut Mall with "overrated" and I watched the whole video
The Berlin Byways reminds me so much of the tecno styled music Tekken games have. Why is it that Mario Kart music can wake so much nostalgia inside me, I almost started crying fsr lmao.
When you’re gliding in Thwomp Ruins, the glint of the sun and all of the vibrant colors feels so magical, with the music creating so much more of a vibe during that section.
I respect these opinions despite me never going to forgive you for your placement of N64 Bowser’s Castle, Kalimari Desert, Grumble Volcano, Ribbon Road, and Sunset Wilds
This video goes to show me how much Mario Kart Sucer Circuit's soundtrack is really underrated. Lakeside Park has become a hidden gem for me, along with one of my personal favorites, Bowser's Castle. Definitely interesting tastes though, I'm definitely nostalgic towards mario kart wii's music and probably would have most of it (excluding probably grumble volcano and mushroom gorge) over stuff like n64 koopa beach.
I am gonna second MKSC being underrated, especially Lakeside Park. I find that Lakeside Park is most deserving of "groovy," and I would place Shy Guy Beach pretty high and say it is "nostalgic."
Waluigi Pinball is an Amazing Song, i would be mad about it being “Overrated” however compared to the amount if Mario Kart songs that are underrated Waluigi Pinball gets way more attention than is needed, good song but by definition it is technically Overrated
I’m really really glad you’ve put Tour tracks in here as well. Sure they may not count as "Mainline" tracks, but they’re seriously too good to pass up!
>clickbait thumbnail, titling Coconut Mall as “overrated” which is completely true >proceeds to praise Coconut Mall in the video >calls Waluigi Pinball, an actually decent song overrated instead ?!?
Remember it’s not about how good the song is in terms of taste and style, but about the delivery it has with the atmosphere of the course, it must give the emotion to have it settle perfectly to make the player feel a part of the course
REALLY AMAZING VIDEO!!! I really wish N64 Bowsers Castle and Wii Rainbow Road were higher but I totally respect your opinion! Most of these MK songs are really great so thank you so much for this video 😁😁👍👍👍
Have you ever grown so attached to a piece of music, and you can’t explain why? That’s how I feel about Choco Mountain. I can’t explain why I love it as much as I do; I just do. Great video by the way. I was really impressed with all the adjectives you were able to apply here (my favorite probably being serendipitous).
Apart from Mt. Wario, Daisy Ciruit and Maple Treeway being too low the list was suprisingly impressive. Respect for listening to all the tracks and making up a new word for each!
A lot of these I really like, but one my all time favorites in this list has gotta be the Shy Guy Beach/Cheep Cheep Island song. I think it's really neat how they took the Theme From "A Summer Place," (by Percy Faith and his Orchestra) modified it a bit, and used it for the courses. Really clever and it re-introduces an old song from 1959 into the modern era.
Honestly, despite the fact that this was a ranking video, I never felt really upset even if some of the placements I felt could have been shifted based on my own tastes. Very few of the words within the top 100 felt negative towards the tracks, and it just made me appreciate how good the MK soundtrack as a whole is
1:00 As someone who has lived in Los Angeles my whole life, I completely agree. I feel like that song is not an accurate representation of my city because if the course takes place in Venice/Santa Monica, it should have music you'd hear from beachside buskers in Venice/Santa Monica, not this mess that I can't figure out a part of LA that it corresponds to!
Good to hear from someone actually from LA! I’ve never been but it’s always shown off all across digital media and I just felt like the song didn’t fit at all
So great to see some love for the Super Circuit soundtrack, didn't expect a GBA track to be number 2 and I'm very happy with that. Super Circuit needs more love!
bro has the whole entire dictionary memorized in his head And SNES Ghost Valley isn't trash, I love this theme ❤ N64 Bowser's Castle is my favorite Mario Kart Wii theme
Tour is easily my favourite Mario Kart soundtrack, the sheer variety is insane and every single theme hits. Especially Singapore Speedway and Vancouver Velocity. I really wanna visit those places for the music alone. (Which doesn't even make sense)
@@zanmolecules4105 The ramps are so much fun though. plus, it's big an open meaning green shell are good. anyway, there all really good maps and honestly does matter which like best.
Hadn't realized how good some of those Tour tracks are. Kinda stayed away from Tour because of it's scummy gacha mechanics but it apparently has some bops. The more you know
I’ve started playing tour recently out of desperation for more mario kart, and as long as you ignore the gem shop and the gold pass, it’s a really solid underrated game. And the loot box stuff doesn’t ever really get in the way given how much free shit they throw at you every day. It’s definitely worth giving it a shot.
The rankings of Shy Guy Bazaar and Los Angeles Laps made me rage in my head ngl Edit: Daisy hills made me wanna commit a (m word) Edit 2: Baby Park is only infuriating when you go from 1st to 6th from a blue shell, the music is amazing. Edit 3: next time i see Sweet Sweet Canyon ranked that low im gonna explode. Edit 4: WALUIGI PINBALL IS OVERRATED?!?!?! *EXPLODES*
As much as i disagree with most of your rankings and descriptions i can only say i’m impressed af by the fact that you came up with all those words hahaha
Is this only including the main race tracks? Because in my opinion, the best song in Mario Kart history goes to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Battle Course, Lunar Colony. The sound is incredible and it has some killer melodies. That's just my opinion though.
Personally I would’ve ranked some of the rainbow roads higher like Rainbow Road from Mario Kart Wii. Like that has Super Mario Galaxy’s Good Egg Galaxy in it. That’s *C O S M I C*
I like the coconut mall, Vancouver velocity, 3ds toad/Mario circuit, sky high sundae, sky garden, mushroom gorge, rock rock mountain/alpine pass, Yoshi circuit, daisy cruiser and music park/melody motorway music
The fact that the lowest ranked Wii song’s word was merely “short” shows how solid the OST for MK Wii was
And yet moo moo meadows is great
Subjective tbh, even if majorly true
most of them are just underwhelming, and when it isn't, it is because it is a remix
Even though Mario kart Wii is way overrated it’s ost it’s nice

Ok I respect your opinion in Waluigi Pinball, but imo deserves the love lol
I have learned so many new words today thank you!
You’re welcome! :)
Such a fun concept executed perfectly. Great video!
Thanks for telling us that literally every good song was bad or boring, it's always nice to see an unbiased, logical opinion
just say you don’t agree
Keyword: OPINION
@@NunnyNugget That means nothing. Opinions can be both unbiased and logical.
nah i loved the n64 bowser's castle ost, it was pretty creepy and really suited the track, which is also pretty solid in my opinion
I love this list, it's always a jam to revisit Mario Kart soundtracks
Guessed he'd say Cosmic for Wii Rainbow Road, am proud of myself lol
Awesome video dude, hit the nail on the head lots of times
Calls Waluigi Pinball “ Overrated” but calls Coconut Mall “ Unforgettable “…
I respect your opinions, sir
both are overrated but waluigi pinball is better
You can hear a little exhale after every word and it just makes me feel 🚨🚨🚨
I was just happy to see Moonview Highway up so high. I always felt that song was underrated.
I had to make sure people knew how good this one is!
Dragon Driftway hits HARD
Delfino Square, Shroom Ridge, Coconut Mall, Maple Treeway, Sunset Wilds, Daisy Circuit , and Sherbet Land are among the best by far.

Since there weren't any battle courses in this video, i just wanted to say that the most underrated mario kart song is Funky Stadium from MK Wii.
That was my favorite battle map in wii
Thwomp desert is better. Nobody would even like funky stadium if it weren’t themed around funky Kong
@@zanmolecules4105 The ramps are so much fun though. plus, it's big an open meaning green shell are good. anyway, there all really good maps and honestly does matter which like best.
@@zanmolecules4105 Thwomp Desert is fun too ngl. I also like Cookie Land and Chain Chomp Roulette.
This entire idea is really funny to me for some reason great video 👍
Thank you so much that means a lot!!
The Mariokart soundtrack is so good, out of the 116 or so soundtracks, only 20 at most are stinkers, maybe even less.
Facts! This was incredibly hard to rank haha
@@GWallPro I would agree, it gets especially hard when you are down to tracks like those from Mariokart Wii and the Rainbow Road tracks.
I'm glad this video was recommended to me, your energy is great. Subscribed.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! :)
NOOOO DON'T EVER DISRESPECT WALUIGI PINBALL
Shy guy beach will sometimes randomly play in my head, and I can’t escape it.
While i can agree to disagree with most of this list, i really do have to say that Mount Wario was completely shafted
Bro really used the most basic and obvious words for these like "Peachy" "Merry" and "natural" like bro, wild woods was WHIMSICAL
Hadn't realized how good some of those Tour tracks are. Kinda stayed away from Tour because of it's scummy gacha mechanics but it apparently has some bops. The more you know
At least most will end up in MK8DX.
I’ve started playing tour recently out of desperation for more mario kart, and as long as you ignore the gem shop and the gold pass, it’s a really solid underrated game. And the loot box stuff doesn’t ever really get in the way given how much free shit they throw at you every day. It’s definitely worth giving it a shot.
@@JohnTK thing is, you cannot ignore the p2w in tour
Its impossible to get stuff quickly without spending more money than nintendo spent devloping mario kart 8
The fact that you have Cheese Land up so high is...well...hell yeah.
The rankings of Shy Guy Bazaar and Los Angeles Laps made me rage in my head ngl
Edit: Daisy hills made me wanna commit a (m word)
Edit 2: Baby Park is only infuriating when you go from 1st to 6th from a blue shell, the music is amazing.
Edit 3: next time i see Sweet Sweet Canyon ranked that low im gonna explode.
Edit 4: WALUIGI PINBALL IS OVERRATED?!?!?! *EXPLODES*
Waluigi Pinball Is Overrated, It's A Fact
Great video! I feel like coconut mall should be iconic though
Wished Banshee Boardwalk and Shroom Ridge were higher, but at least 3 tour songs were in the top 10
As much as i disagree with most of your rankings and descriptions i can only say i’m impressed af by the fact that you came up with all those words hahaha
Circuit theme is 100% accurate. Takes me right back to my childhood
For sure!
Grumble Volcano is my favorite 😢, awesome video!
I agree on GBA Circuits, for me is the worst MK song
Is this only including the main race tracks? Because in my opinion, the best song in Mario Kart history goes to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Battle Course, Lunar Colony. The sound is incredible and it has some killer melodies. That's just my opinion though.
True that if I included Battle tracks Lunar Colony would be very high up there for sure!
Lunar Colony is a bop. But I prefer Thwomp Ruins. Wouldn’t put it higher on the list tho. Just sounds so good.
Desert hills at 111 is a crime btw
I must day the music for the Tour Tracks are really good! Tokyo Blur, Vancouver Velocity, & Berlin Byways are a few of my favorites.
Yesss they went crazy on the tour soundtrack for some reason 🔥
@@GWallPro Idk who was in the studio but he deserves a grammy
@@jaysimone they really do!
even though the list was a little questionable at points imo i still really love the video format! great work!
Personally I would’ve ranked some of the rainbow roads higher like Rainbow Road from Mario Kart Wii. Like that has Super Mario Galaxy’s Good Egg Galaxy in it. That’s *C O S M I C*
I like the coconut mall, Vancouver velocity, 3ds toad/Mario circuit, sky high sundae, sky garden, mushroom gorge, rock rock mountain/alpine pass, Yoshi circuit, daisy cruiser and music park/melody motorway music
Oh hello me from the past
