Not only are these REALLY well done. But I noticed that you smile a lot when recording these. Not to mention you bob your head up and down. It really shows that you enjoy doing this. You sir have my upmost respect. Keep on rockin' :D
***** First off, this comment is a year and a half OLD. Second off, was your sarcasm necessary? I was legitimately complimenting him. Don't try to cause drama in a positive moment. -______-
I respected and admired Smooth Mcgroove even more after watching this video, he slapped himself in the beard for over three minutes with that look on his face just so some people on the internet could have a sense of nostalgia. The internet thanks you Smooth Mcgroove!
Aside from the singing itself which is truly amazing, I love the little touches you put into each video track, making faces at the camera, bringing the cat in, etc. Makes it that much more fun to watch.
This is so beautiful. The melody forces me to imagine myself hanging out on a shore with friends at sunset. Once the music gets to the key change, I then imagine myself laying on my back in the water relaxing. It's such a beautiful conscious bounding piece. Good job Smooth Mcgroove. You are gifted man, keep doing what you're doing with these acapella covers. Don't let anyone discourage you.
Dude!! This is my favorite track from Mario Kart 64! I don't know why I thought you couldn't pull this one off, but you made it sound BETTER. Thanks, Smooth!
I don't play video games and wouldn't have a clue where any of this music came from if you didn't specify. However, I love good music and have been jamming along to your acapella playlist as I do my homework. Thanks for posting!
Conversely, I love video games and acapella isn't a style of music I actually like. But Smooth McGroove is so good at this and I actually like his acapella, probably just because it's video game covers, LOL but still it's a joy to listen to. :)
Guys, my life is complete. I listened to his playlist while playing Mario Kart 7. As soon as this started playing, the map Koopa Troopa Beach started. I cried actual tears of actual joy.
God dangit, Smooth! I'm spending so much money on replacement minds because you keep blowing them all! Also it's kinda funny how everyone's looking for your cat in every video... :P
Thank you for being awesome and spending your free time to do something like this to share with the world! You are making it a better place for nerds everywhere!
Haha, I wasn't really expecting any sort of response to that. Not exactly one of my most constructive comments. I was just hoping someone might get a laugh out of it.
I love this song, it is so peaceful and serene, no matter what mood i am in, it makes me calm! This tune combined with your soothing voice= complete bliss! Thank you Mr. McGroove
For those people who are saying 'This footage is not even from the Nintendo 64 version'. Have ever occurred to you that he may not own a N64 console? I don't think it did.
This is my favorite song from Mario Kart 64. I like the way the chords change. It reminds me of when my nephew and I used to play this game together in the late 1990's. My nephew passed away in 2021 at age 26. I miss him something terrible! He was my buddy!
All of the face, voice, brilliant eyes of azure.....I AM at the beach, groovin' to the smooth pocket of this delightful MASTERPIECE "0" so HAPPY !!! (not really in the dead of winter, 12 degrees here) Fantastic, UNBELIEVABLE
Mario Kart 64 is my main game. Its something I will always remember because I played it so much, it makes me think of my family, myself, and everything in the past, good memories, almost makes me depressed.
I believe it's called Victory Lap. But yeah, easily one of my favorite 64 tracks, and probably one of my favorite game tracks ever. Definitely a stable from my childhood. I remember recording it on a cassette tape since my sister had a microphone on her stereo, and just listening to it all the time, in all it's hissy glory.
HankusTheTankus333 He pointed out that he always views his videos, even if he doesn't know the game. He did NOT say that this is one of those times where he doesn't know the game. It's all there, black & white, clear as crystal.
BarbecueGamer You stole Fizzy Lifting Drinks! You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR!
This took me back to the early 2000s' and just.. I'm in so much awe. and this really touched my heart. Be proud of what you do - because you make so many people happy Smooth. Thank you.
I felt a lot of nostalgia with this song... dude, you just made my day... P.S: Please make the Zelda 2 - Hyrule temple theme (With a touch of the Super Smash Bros Melee's version)! THAT. WOULD. BE. AMAZING!
This was the first song from smooth mcgroove that I heard. My freind was playing it on his phone and I recognized the song as koopa troopa beach. When I got closer I realized that it was someone singing the song and not the actual music. This is so accurate that I didn't realize this until halfway through the song. I've been a huge fan ever since.
Man ever since I found your page I can't stop Watching to see what you do next I really would like to see you do starlight zone from sonic Keep it up Smooth Mcgroove the kids and I love when work your magic
First of all: Love your work, Smooth! Second, I have some suggestions for songs you should try to do: King Dedede's Theme from the Kirby Franchise Unbreakable Determination from Ninja Gaiden Koopa from Yoshi's Island Simon's Theme from Super Castlevania IV The Green Hill Zone, Underground Zone & Invincibility themes from the Sega Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Terra's Theme from Final Fantasy VI Dance Tune & McRock from the Sega Master System version of McDonald's Global Gladiators Big Blue from F-Zero Theme of Solid Snake from Metal Gear 2 (the MSX2 game) or any of the other Main Themes from the Metal Gear franchise Those are pretty much all the songs I would LOVE to hear you do, at least for now, but of course, you'll have to decide for yourself what you actually want to do. ;) Looking forward to your next video/release no matter what it turns out to be though, as your work is always awesome! :)
Smooth McGroove, This video is just great. It's my favorite song yet out of all of your videos. I listen to it over and over again. I never get tired of it. Also, never stop featuring your cat in the videos. ROCK ON! #MarioKartRules
![Mario Kart 64 - Koopa Troopa Beach [Oscilloscope Deconstruction]](/img/1.gif)
I recorded the footage from the Mario Kart 7 version of this track on my 3DS, though it did originate on the 64. Same track, same song!
Could you do a song from Actraiser?
Same track, same song, newer version :]
Please do Simon's Theme from Super Castlevania 4!
Smooth McGroove Smooth, i guessed the song on your twitter before it came out, i think i deserve some kind of prize.
Hey, what software did you use to record the 3ds version?
0:57
Lightning ruins everything AS USUAL.
Yep who else wants the lightning to be banned from the series
Shizennoshi Need we even mention the blue shell seconds after?
Oh yeah like in mario kart 8 when you have the super horn and you know a blue shell is coming then its ruined by lightning and then you cant use it
@@Jonah871or when you get a super horn, after you already been hit, never get it when you actually need it
I always used to get struck by lightning right their
Not only are these REALLY well done. But I noticed that you smile a lot when recording these. Not to mention you bob your head up and down. It really shows that you enjoy doing this. You sir have my upmost respect. Keep on rockin' :D
Thanks!
No kidding! He even looks like the nicest guy in the world :p
TheOwnersOfTriforce duh he looks like jesus

Dang man I'm going to end up listening to your videos all day beatboxing to them xD smooth as butter. Glad I found you through Oneyng :)
record it I would love to hear it with some beatboxing!!
VvTaranvV Just did it. I put it on my channel hope you enjoy. :)
Oneyng?
Where's the cat
At 0:47 :)
Aside from the singing itself which is truly amazing, I love the little touches you put into each video track, making faces at the camera, bringing the cat in, etc. Makes it that much more fun to watch.
I already like this version way more than the original. This one is so damn dynamic it's amazing.
Yeah this is definitely better.
This is so beautiful. The melody forces me to imagine myself hanging out on a shore with friends at sunset. Once the music gets to the key change, I then imagine myself laying on my back in the water relaxing. It's such a beautiful conscious bounding piece. Good job Smooth Mcgroove. You are gifted man, keep doing what you're doing with these acapella covers. Don't let anyone discourage you.
Setting this as my alarm ringtone!
That would definitely assure the day to be filled with happiness & JOY *0*
Dude!! This is my favorite track from Mario Kart 64! I don't know why I thought you couldn't pull this one off, but you made it sound BETTER. Thanks, Smooth!
My favorite one so far. I've replayed this one the most.
my head melted when I was half watching the gameplay thinking it was my childhood memory's MK64 and suddenly the kart's wheels were mushrooms
Nintendo should release Koopa Troopa Beach as dlc in Mario Kart 8 and use Smooth's song version instead of the original. XD GREAT JOB!!!
Hell yeah sometimes it almost doesnt even sound like a human voice but actual instruments :D
Kronie yeah.. That's cus it is not his natural voice o_o
Ha definitely, I guess u could do that with the live circuit on your own
It seems like 1.25x speed on Smooth's acapellas sound close to the final lap version for Mario Kart races.
My favourite video game music of all time and now you did it! Thank you so much! Your take on it sounds so amazing!
( 0:57 ) Me, Everytime i play Mario Kart...
xD
+Pat Sajak ho,y crap it's Pat Sajak
+Christopher Dutko holy* dang ruining my comments...
Who's "Pat Sajak"?
+Pat Sajak Good job! Thats the spanish word for "black"! You get a gold star!
+Jan van Antwerpen (ChipotleHD) Same
Dude, you SHOULD TOTALLY do the credits theme from Mario Kart 64.
or the super smash bros "choose your character" song
I was having a really shitty day but this was in my Subscription box and it really cheered me up.
Thanks Smooth McGroove!
I literally listen to your play list all day when I'm at work coding. #nohomo
why the #nohomo ? Just because you listen to some dude's playlist doesn't mean you're gay
Just #BorLovin' ?
#hashtag
Lol, I can't say it never happens with me too, and also coding at that hahaha
Troels Jensen It's good to be gay!(happy) :)
We need to find a way to turn you into a sound chip for a retro-system. I love the sound of these!
I don't play video games and wouldn't have a clue where any of this music came from if you didn't specify. However, I love good music and have been jamming along to your acapella playlist as I do my homework. Thanks for posting!

Dat whistle
これまでの最高峰の出来。素晴らしい。
Thanks, Smooth McGroove! You always put a smile on my face.
Even after 10 years, I still can't get eno0ugh of this. I just smile all the while. Thanks Smoove
I can't believe how amazing this sounded on the n64!
Guys, my life is complete.
I listened to his playlist while playing Mario Kart 7.
As soon as this started playing, the map Koopa Troopa Beach started.
I cried actual tears of actual joy.
God dangit, Smooth! I'm spending so much money on replacement minds because you keep blowing them all!
Also it's kinda funny how everyone's looking for your cat in every video... :P
The moment I heard this my nostalgia hit me hard as I remembered playing this when I was 5. You're amazing, Smooth.
You bring a new life into the things I loved as a child. Thanks!
The nostalgia, amazing cover.
Nothing like listening to Smooth Mcgroove in class while doing homework.
I listened to this while studying for my global history midterm
Thank you for being awesome and spending your free time to do something like this to share with the world! You are making it a better place for nerds everywhere!
Can't believe all your siblings are ok with doing all these videos.
Another incredible track. Thank you Smooth, these always make me smile!
you have such an amazing voice
I started playing this song, and my son just got up and started dancing away! Another awesome arrangement, Smoove!
Them cheeks must be sore.
They were a bit sore after a few takes, yeah.
Haha, I wasn't really expecting any sort of response to that. Not exactly one of my most constructive comments. I was just hoping someone might get a laugh out of it.
I love this song, it is so peaceful and serene, no matter what mood i am in, it makes me calm! This tune combined with your soothing voice= complete bliss! Thank you Mr. McGroove
You're face is a magnificent instrument.
this video gave me pure joy
i like how sometimes you make faces at the camera or sometimes your holding your cat and its like WTF XD
The faces that the guy below the top right guy makes are hilarious. Awesome job dude, I'm busting out the old N64 just to revisit this game!
For those people who are saying 'This footage is not even from the Nintendo 64 version'. Have ever occurred to you that he may not own a N64 console? I don't think it did.
How does one record the N64 anyway lol?
***** Thought so. I don't support emulators so meh.
OriginalBloodAce You'd use a capture card! Like the Hauppauge HD PVR or (price-wise probably more suitable for SD footage) the Dazzle!
***** I have a capture card, but the N64 has no HDMI port lol.
You'll need a capture card that supports any input that the N64 outputs, ie. SCART or RGB, ...
For example the Dazzle :)
Whatever this guy earns isn't enough - great job man, love it :)
Now, this is amazing
I love this! So many memories!
Who cares if the video is of Mario Kart 7? It sounds awesome nontheless. Thanks for doing this, one of my favourite MK Soundtracks!
This is my favorite song from Mario Kart 64. I like the way the chords change. It reminds me of when my nephew and I used to play this game together in the late 1990's. My nephew passed away in 2021 at age 26. I miss him something terrible! He was my buddy!
Hey, I have a request 4 ya. Do Frappe Snowland - another MK64 original.
Gerald Blake Yes !! Please !!
Doesn't he actually do this at some point? Or am I thinking of Luigi?
ruclips.net/video/U5tjbZEcy_s/видео.html 4 years dudee
All of the face, voice, brilliant eyes of azure.....I AM at the beach, groovin' to the smooth pocket of this delightful MASTERPIECE "0" so HAPPY !!! (not really in the dead of winter, 12 degrees here) Fantastic, UNBELIEVABLE
Bottom right corner Smooth looks like he's stuck in an endless cycle of applying aftershave to his face.
I used to overlook this song when playing Mario Kart, but now I really love this song (especially in Smooth McGroove's version)
This is actually better then the original song...
haha the bottom right one of him must have had a nice workout XP
I feel this way about most of his acapellas :)
Donkey Kong 64 - DK Isle or Angry Aztec or Crystal Caves
..matter fact..
ANYTHING FROM THAT GAME the soundtrack is just outstanding.
Thats gotta get uncomfortable slapping your face for 3 min straight. Lol amazing as ever sm
*Smooth
Been sick all day, and had a bad day at work. I came home, put this on and instantly got a smile on my face. Thanks, Smooth!
That third lap comeback tho!!!
ほんとにすごいです。素晴らしい曲をありがとうございます
Masterpiece
Mario Kart 64 is my main game. Its something I will always remember because I played it so much, it makes me think of my family, myself, and everything in the past, good memories, almost makes me depressed.
Would you ever consider doing the last song of Mario 64 that plays during the credits? My all time fave video game song.
this would be absolutely amazing. i support
I believe it's called Victory Lap.
But yeah, easily one of my favorite 64 tracks, and probably one of my favorite game tracks ever. Definitely a stable from my childhood. I remember recording it on a cassette tape since my sister had a microphone on her stereo, and just listening to it all the time, in all it's hissy glory.
Thanks smooth for this one. Helping me fell like I'm in a tropical paradise during these -30 below temps here in michigan
Could you do Kingdom Hearts Destiny Island acapella?
This probably my fav one....I kept coming back to this one....Hope you make more McGroove....awesome man
I love this song, thats all I gotta say.
Another masterpiece! I was thinking Vanilla Lake from the SNES Mario Kart could make another good a-capella, too!
I always watch your videos, even if I don't know the game lol
How do you not know Mario Kart? >-
Satoru Iwata
it's implied though
HankusTheTankus333 He pointed out that he always views his videos, even if he doesn't know the game. He did NOT say that this is one of those times where he doesn't know the game. It's all there, black & white, clear as crystal.

C Dub Haha! That's great! You made my day.
This took me back to the early 2000s' and just.. I'm in so much awe.
and this really touched my heart. Be proud of what you do - because you make so many people happy Smooth. Thank you.
Waaaaait a minute-- your 'buh's aren't a steel drum. :) Good percussion, Mac!
2023 this is still so good
I felt a lot of nostalgia with this song... dude, you just made my day... P.S: Please make the Zelda 2 - Hyrule temple theme (With a touch of the Super Smash Bros Melee's version)! THAT. WOULD. BE. AMAZING!

that blue shell 1:14
2:54 all bopping your heads
Freya's or Vivi's theme from Final Fantasy IX!
By far one of your best. Harmonies, percussion, etc!
I want to live in your beard..........
Oh and great music by the way.
The only RUclips subscription where I watch each video. Thank you for this!!
This is waaaaayyyyy catchy!
Man ever since I found your page I can't stop
Watching to see what you do next
I really would like to see you do starlight zone from sonic
Keep it up Smooth Mcgroove the kids and I love when work your magic
A+ for the extra effort!
p.s. could you do the FF9 battle theme PUUUHHLLEEEZZZZ?
So happy you did this one!! Makes me feel like a kid again!
Best. Beach. Theme. Ever.
So smooth, love this!
*D A N G E R*
*-Earwig of your life detected!*
If you proceed listening, you may never stop thinking on this beat at least once every year!
The face on the 2nd box down on the roght (the whistle one) made me smile :)
First of all: Love your work, Smooth!
Second, I have some suggestions for songs you should try to do:
King Dedede's Theme from the Kirby Franchise
Unbreakable Determination from Ninja Gaiden
Koopa from Yoshi's Island
Simon's Theme from Super Castlevania IV
The Green Hill Zone, Underground Zone & Invincibility themes from the Sega Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Terra's Theme from Final Fantasy VI
Dance Tune & McRock from the Sega Master System version of McDonald's Global Gladiators
Big Blue from F-Zero
Theme of Solid Snake from Metal Gear 2 (the MSX2 game) or any of the other Main Themes from the Metal Gear franchise
Those are pretty much all the songs I would LOVE to hear you do, at least for now, but of course, you'll have to decide for yourself what you actually want to do. ;) Looking forward to your next video/release no matter what it turns out to be though, as your work is always awesome! :)
Smooth McGroove, This video is just great. It's my favorite song yet out of all of your videos. I listen to it over and over again. I never get tired of it. Also, never stop featuring your cat in the videos. ROCK ON! #MarioKartRules
Another good Mario track to McGroove would be Mushrise Park from M&L: Dream Team.
By the way, this, true to your name, was very smooth.
And most definitely groovy!
DragonZerul And very... Mc?
It's amazing all the noises you can make with your body when you take a little time to experiment with different claps and syllable sounds. ^_^
Your acapella version is better than the original :D
If I heard this beautiful rendition playing in an elevator I don't think I'd ever leave the damn elevator.
The best part is that he plays Bowser :D
and he wins
The acappella really shines through on this light song. Great work as usual.
Please make Pokemon HeartGold/Soul Silver Champion and Red Theme! Or the Zelda II dungeon music.
I'd totally go with the Zelda 2 Temple Theme
Welcome to Mario Kart!! ^_^ Everything on the menu & Award Ceremony sounded more epic with Mario's voice! :D
So who else always had trouble going off the ramp and into the shortcut hole in the wall?
you need a mushroom to use it
The cheek drums though.... You never cease to impress!
