Happy to see Mario Kart experience some sort of online resurgence, from tournaments to the Booster Packs to this! Mario Kart 8's music is divine, I adore the adaptive nature of the tracks. Mount Wario and Dolphin Shoals are prime examples, but also that extra layer added when you're in First- all so good! Personally, my favorite in that context is Donut Plains 3, due to the additional whistles. Bowser's Castle also sounds slick with the extra drums. I'm curious about Banshee Boardwalk's music, though, it's the closest we have to an ambient track for a course and I'm wondering if they perhaps hid any secrets within all the spooky noises.
Fun Fact: 8's Rainbow Road is literally Sunshine Airport 2. Like, if you listen closely enough it's just a jumbled up remix of Sunshine Airport with some added "Rainbow Road Flare" plus a few unique sections. I have no idea why these tracks are connected like that but it's pretty interesting.

10:40 Neat detail, actually, because both games were in-development at the same time, they influenced each other in a few ways! Rosalina being one of them- She was originally only as tall as Peach or Daisy, but the Mario Kart Wii team felt like they needed a girl character for the heavyweight class since it was entirely man when the game was in-development. So, they asked the Galaxy team to just make her like, really, comedically tall, and that's why Rosalina is canonically seven feet tall.
oh this is just delightful. you are like the PERFECT youtube channel for me, i’ve never been so captivated by a channel. your editing, your content and topics, your humor, everything!!!
Gotta say I like how you play _just enough_ of the music to get it. With some musical comparisons the music I’m supposed to be thinking about leaves my mind because they went too far away from it, and that didn’t happen this time!
God your editing skills are top tier! This was such a fun watch. I swear my brother and I go absolutely FERAL if we hear someone so much as hum the tune to coconut mall
Oh geez, the super Mario galaxies were my childhood, and like, some of the music just went so hard. Rosalina's observatory? Absolute beauty. The vibes? They were on point all of the time
6:47 oh my lord i cried i laughed so hard, i was singing it in my head the entire time wondering if you were gonna play it or mention it and had just resigned to the fact it wasn't when you said that 💀
Words can't explain how much I love that maple track. I remember the good old days playing vs with my sisters. After racing hardcore in a few matches, we would normally end it with Maple Treeway. Just cruisin' and driftin' all around that track. BTW literally seconds before you mention maple treeway, I decided to eat a maple leaf creme cookie from the jar. Talk about coincidence
Another fun Mario Kart music fact that I learned recently: Paper Mario Sticker Star's battle theme is a remix of Ribbon Road from Super Circuit. I had never noticed it before, and it absolutely blew my mind when I found that out.
The amount of nostalgic Mario kart tunes in this video is taking me back to a time where I would play Mario kart ds multiplayer behind during class. Good times.
I love your topics, humor, art, voice, editing, and just everything. This is one of my most favorite channels of 2022! (Found this channel in February)
Great video, the Bowser's Castle trivia blew my mind too! As for ideas for the series, Kirby is the king of leitmotifs so that could make for a meaty video.
If this is gonna be a series, then I’d love to see you do a video on Kirby music! Since it (especially in the newer games), makes tons of music callbacks. Things like how the Green Greens melody tends to make an appearance in the final boss themes, or how the motif from Kirby’s Triumphant Return appears at least once in each of the modern games, or just with how often old songs are remixed makes listening for musical secrets and references in Kirby really fun!
Mario Kart Super Circuit DOES actually feature the SMK title theme! It's literally a direct cover of the original theme too, and it plays as the race music during single-pak multiplayer races (where you can only select the first four SNES tracks and play as coloured Yoshis). It's a bit hard to find youtube uploads of this song, but a version remastered with the original sample sources is included in "Mario Kart: Super Circuit Remastered" (by The Brickster) at 1:06:43
I never played with the music on in my youth, (listening to books on tape, pretending to do homework) but now as I go back and play them now I'm really suprised how great the music is, and this was really cool loved all the trivia! Edit I would love more music vids! I think the old harvest moon/story of seasons games sounded pretty.
Oh god I have to go through the rest of my whole life now knowing that Bowser's Castle is a dark version of Maple Treeway haha seriously awesome video, got a sub from me :)
As a musician, it makes me really happy to see someone talk about video game music. Btw the video is super well edited and I learned a few new things. I would love to see a part 2; talking about the 3/4 time signature in DS Peach Gardens or the obscure 5/4 in Wild Woods. Thank you!
The tunnel section of Super Bell Subway plays the Underground theme from the original Super Mario Bros in its bass line. Felt super smart when I noticed that.
There is nothing I love more than a repeating motif in video games. My favourite example has to be the many examples in call of duty zombies of all things, such as the round change themes, “damned” and “Samantha’s lullaby”
im so happy you talked about the Mario Kart Title Leitmotif I've barely seen any videos talking about it, I literally love the leitmotif it just feels so Mario Karty
I want to see a second part to this ! As a Mario Kart fan and Mario Kart music enjoyer, I was delighted to see this video pop up in my recommanded feed !
Something I didn't realise till I played super circuit on wii u was that the song actually has two openings, the regular one, and the one after you complete all super circuit cups with 3 stars. The 3 stars opening is so good and the fact that this game is so criminally overlooked means that not enough people know about it. Also super circuit has the best Bowser castle theme to this date. They really went like "let's make a song that slaps so hard that they HAVE to remix it for dream ice hockey in 2009".
I never knew I needed content like this, such a good video. The Kirby franchise loves to make musical references (it is generally a very self-referential series). I would love to see a video on the music in those games.
Oh my god I am so happy to hear you talk about the Maple Treeway bit. I don't really find much crossover between the different Mario spinoffs so the Tranquil Pipes music blew my mind. Please keep doing these videos, they're great!
I'm not sure if I ever will do Undertale/Deltarune, although I LOOOVEEE the music and the motifs / secrets. Basically every trivia fact in that regard has already been stated a thousand times and is pretty well known, so I'd have to have a good amount of semi-obscure bits to talk about for it to be worth it for me lol
Holy shit, you absolutley just blew my mind with the Bowsers castle Maple treeway connection. I've been playing the game for ten years and never noticed that.
God I never thought I'd find someone who's equally as interested in this specific kind of motif reuse, specifically in Nintendo titles. You don't know how happy this makes me :D
I've never played or properly listened to any Mario Kart tracks, but I am still watching this video and enjoying it because supporting your content is a great decision!
Aw man, thank you for reminding me how much I adored Maple Treeway. I somehow completely forgot how happy that course and song made me, maybe it's because I lost my copy of Mario Kart Wii so long ago.
I’m mad at myself for not checking out your channel earlier as your Melee video hit my recommended feed a couple months ago, but I was searching for something else, but luckily this hit my feed today and now I’m ecstatically awaiting more videos like this
Yo that theme reference in block plaza kinda blew my mind, I didn't even realize it was there all these years 😂. But Mario Kart music makes me extremely nostalgic, like I have such a strong attachment to a majority of the songs and hearing a bunch of them back to back like this makes me want to listen to all of them
Found your channel via your mario kart music and holy crap. I felt like Sonic was the one series I knew my stuff. The music is banger in the games(brotherhood? I pretend i do not hear it) so I knew references. But I learned a whole bunch I missed from this vid! I cannot wait to see what else you make of any franchise. Vgm is golden
I’m so very happy that I found your channel, you’re really funny, nice, and just incredibly talented too!! Thank you for making such amazing content and just being an amazing person in general too! Can’t wait to see more of your content in the future :>
Super Circuit is actually the only mainline Mario Kart that wasn't directly developed by Nintendo (only published), which you can tell from a lot of parts of the game (e.g having the exact same characters and items as 64, having very similar controls to Super, having all of Super's tracks as bonuses, etc), so you can still say that every mainline Mario Kart developed by Nintendo has Super's theme in its...theme.
Bizabizow is one of maybe three or four channels that I like their videos before I even watch them, because the quality is pretty much guaranteed, with this video being a great example.
one thing i really want to mention is the music from neo bowser city, its like the holy grail of a video like this, the ENTIRE thing is made up of motifs they combine toad's turnpike with toad circuit (which itself is just the melody of the mk7 main theme) then go straight into mkwii luigi raceway and then immediately return to toad circuit. it's awesome
I'd love a part two! Here's an obvious music secret but still one worth mentioning for another time: 3DS Neo Bowser Castle's music is actually a medley of three different songs from the Mario Kart series. It starts with the opening from 3DS Toad Circuit, then it goes to N64 Toad's Turnpike, then to Wii Luigi Circuit, and then back to 3DS Toad Circuit, and the song also has little bits of the Mario Kart 7 theme in it.
dude im not that old to remember stuff before mariokart wii and 7(actually i cant rlly remember 7 that much), but everything from wii, especially the rainbow road bits, were SO unimagineably nostalgic. i loved seeing and hearing the course
Loved the little references thrown in. Was hoping for a Double Dash Rainbow Road "It is a road that you go" reference. And the Mario Says SpongeBob callback was epic too. You're not alone with the Wii Bowser's Castle thing. I found out a few months ago and people were like "you didn't know this?". It was crazy. I wasn't aware of the SNES Title theme in Block Plaza until this video!
as a mario galaxy stan who played galaxy and mario kart wii at roughly the same time in my life, i cannot beLIEVE i never noticed rainbow road's reference to good egg galaxy !! and i have both of those songs committed completely to memory! that's so cool
I LISTENED TO THE WII RAINBOW ROAD SO MANY TIMES AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE GALAXY AND NOW YOUVE TOLD ME IT HAS A MOTIF FROM MY FAVOURITE GALAXY THEME. IM JUST SO HAPPY
My favorite Mario Kart music easter egg is when they play the Kalahari Desert theme when you're taking the train to Dry Dry Desert in Paper Mario. I'd love to see that covered in the hypothetical MK music secrets part 2.
There’s also a fairly big leitmotif that reappears consistently in Mario Kart tracks that I don’t usually hear many ppl talk about, it’s the reoccurring downward melody that appears in Luigi Raceway (MK64) and has also appeared in Toad Circuit and Neo Bowser City (MK7) and also in Tokyo Blur from Tour. Im wondering if anyone else has noticed it appear in any other tracks?? Love the video btw I learned a lot about the soundtrack that I didn’t know before!! Your humour is awesome as well, was a really entertaining watch.
This video was so fun! I freaking love stuff like this and you seem like a super funny gal. I am subscribing immediately. Also my little tidbit (I just realized like a few days ago) was that the trophy ceremony in double dash has the bianco hills music from sunshine in it! God I love video game music.
Very fun fact: In Mario Kart 7, 8, and Tour, with every music track-including the music tracks that dynamically change depending on the section/lap you’re in-there’s a frontrunning version of it with an added electric percussive beat that can only be heard when you’re in 1st place and a few seconds ahead of second place. The best part is that each beat has a unique quirk. I.e. Donut Plains 3 getting more whistles or Bowser’s Castle getting this really loud crash.
This is my favorite kind of video, I love musical trivia and leitmotifs, more like this please! Pokemon and Legend of Zelda probably have some decent song connections to draw from, since you were looking for suggestions.
im so happy you referenced the rainbow road its called a rainbow road video because i was literally singing the lyrics alongside the segments just so i knew what part of the song it was
Fun Fact: in the Japan-only Expansion kit for F-Zero X, there's an exclusive N64 Rainbow Road remix. Mario Kart 8's original DLC (pre-Deluxe), of course, brings this full circle with the inclusion of tracks for Mute City and Big Blue.
I'm really enjoying this channel, and it's kinda frustrating that it doesn't have that many videos yet,, hope you keep making such good content 👌🏽 No simping intended 🌚
Mario kart 7’s title screen song secret is the most nostalgic Edit: MARIO KART 7 HAS THE BEST EASTER EGGS IN THE MUSIC CUZ THE MUSIC IS NOSTALGIC AND REALLY GOOD AND NO ONE CAN SAY OTHERWISE
Fun facts: The Wii version of Bowser castle IS Maple treeway, just reversed. The N64 version of Bowser castle has an dark atmosphere. The harmony is desynchronized at the second half of the music, the part 1 of the harmony is reverbed AND the harmony is split up into 2 channels out of 5 (the 2/5 is the left harmony and the 3/5 is the right harmony)
dude motifs n shit are one of my favourite things to listen out for in video games One of me favourite uses of them tho is in credits, something about the credits being comprised of bits from across the game is SO MUCH BETTER than a wholly original song.
"I can't blame [Nintendo] honestly, people were being nostalgic without their consent." you are a comedic genius you know that? unparalleled
Why is Nintendo in Square brackets
@@crimsonscriticalcorner9048 [REDACTED] I think that's why at least
Square brackets in quotes are used to indicate words that aren’t in the original quote, usually used to provide context

Tall girls are great, so I'm not complaining
@@drek.475 True!!!
And then shrunk her back down in 3D World
Because girls can't be in a heavyweight fighting class in any other way than being 7 feet tall. Video game women logic.

Nice opinion. Sadly, anime pfp.

There's this fun thing in how the Circuits share some themes, as well as one Toad motif I'm almost sure exists (toad circuit, turnpike)
You sure it isn't just that those two courses are part of Neo Bowser City's music?
Another fun fact: 3DS Wario Shipyard features leitmotifs from both Wario Land's Rice Beach and a recurring leitmotif from the original Warioware!
One of my favorite tracks for those reasons. It's not everyday Wario games get acknowledged in Mario spinoffs, or acknowledged in general.
Mario Kart Super Circuit DOES actually feature the SMK title theme!
It's literally a direct cover of the original theme too, and it plays as the race music during single-pak multiplayer races (where you can only select the first four SNES tracks and play as coloured Yoshis).

seriously awesome video, got a sub from me :)
The track scenery itself also suggests that it's the same location as Maple Treeway just burned down
i already know this is going to be a good one
I'd love to see some Ace Attorney music in this series if you've played the games before. Keep doing what you're doing.
I always thought it was interesting that in one of the tracks in the newest Mario Kart, they straight up use a chunk of Gusty Garden Galaxy :)
And Sky Station.

they combine toad's turnpike with toad circuit (which itself is just the melody of the mk7 main theme) then go straight into mkwii luigi raceway and then immediately return to toad circuit. it's awesome
I'd love a part two! Here's an obvious music secret but still one worth mentioning for another time: 3DS Neo Bowser Castle's music is actually a medley of three different songs from the Mario Kart series. It starts with the opening from 3DS Toad Circuit, then it goes to N64 Toad's Turnpike, then to Wii Luigi Circuit, and then back to 3DS Toad Circuit, and the song also has little bits of the Mario Kart 7 theme in it.
Thank you for referencing the "Rainbow road, it's a road, that you go, when you die" lyrics. I can't hear the song without hearing those.
dude im not that old to remember stuff before mariokart wii and 7(actually i cant rlly remember 7 that much), but everything from wii, especially the rainbow road bits, were SO unimagineably nostalgic. i loved seeing and hearing the course

I’m very late to this but you continuing this series with my favourite game series, Mario Kart, is making me so happy (:
This reminds me of when I learned that cool cool mountain and the slide themes are remixes of each other.
Loved the little references thrown in. Was hoping for a Double Dash Rainbow Road "It is a road that you go" reference. And the Mario Says SpongeBob callback was epic too.
You're not alone with the Wii Bowser's Castle thing. I found out a few months ago and people were like "you didn't know this?". It was crazy.
I wasn't aware of the SNES Title theme in Block Plaza until this video!
I’ve FINALLY found a Channel specifically about Game Soundtracks and Neat Trivia!!
TYSM!
Now I wanna go play Mario Kart Wii! Man, Double Dash takes me straight back to my childhood. ☺️
as a mario galaxy stan who played galaxy and mario kart wii at roughly the same time in my life, i cannot beLIEVE i never noticed rainbow road's reference to good egg galaxy !! and i have both of those songs committed completely to memory! that's so cool
so much of these I didn't notice, even though I love musical references like these! amazing video!
MK7's Rainbow Road is by far one of my favorite tracks in the entire series, both in terms of course and music, it's just THE perfect Rainbow Road
Bruh, I've been getting lots of Mario Kart recommendations lately. I'm glad Mario Kart is getting love again.
Also, amazing video!!
Time to binge a channel that looks perfect for me. Would love a part 2 for Mario Kart and just Nintendo stuff in general.

This is the EXACT kinda video I've been looking for. This video was great
My favorite Mario Kart music easter egg is when they play the Kalahari Desert theme when you're taking the train to Dry Dry Desert in Paper Mario. I'd love to see that covered in the hypothetical MK music secrets part 2.
Omg you’re right!! I never noticed that, that’s so cool
*Kalimari
However, its name is indeed based on that desert.
i dont know what it is, but your comedy just makes my funny little brain activate. i love your content!
I totally agree that Maple Treeway is the best Mariokart track of all time and I also popped off when I heard it in Origami king.
There’s also a fairly big leitmotif that reappears consistently in Mario Kart tracks that I don’t usually hear many ppl talk about, it’s the reoccurring downward melody that appears in Luigi Raceway (MK64) and has also appeared in Toad Circuit and Neo Bowser City (MK7) and also in Tokyo Blur from Tour.
Im wondering if anyone else has noticed it appear in any other tracks?? Love the video btw I learned a lot about the soundtrack that I didn’t know before!! Your humour is awesome as well, was a really entertaining watch.
Some of these mario kart tunes got me humming to them. Especially the Mario Kart DS ones
Mario Kart 7's Rainbow Road will always be my favorite one in terms of both course and music. It's pretty much my N64 Rainbow Road.
every year ii'm suddenly really into mario kart in febuary and now you drop a mario kart video and confirm i'm not alone
This video was so fun! I freaking love stuff like this and you seem like a super funny gal. I am subscribing immediately. Also my little tidbit (I just realized like a few days ago) was that the trophy ceremony in double dash has the bianco hills music from sunshine in it! God I love video game music.
The Paper Mario series is another one that really loves hammering in its motifs, especially Super Paper Mario and Color Splash
Very fun fact:
In Mario Kart 7, 8, and Tour, with every music track-including the music tracks that dynamically change depending on the section/lap you’re in-there’s a frontrunning version of it with an added electric percussive beat that can only be heard when you’re in 1st place and a few seconds ahead of second place. The best part is that each beat has a unique quirk. I.e. Donut Plains 3 getting more whistles or Bowser’s Castle getting this really loud crash.
This is my favorite kind of video, I love musical trivia and leitmotifs, more like this please! Pokemon and Legend of Zelda probably have some decent song connections to draw from, since you were looking for suggestions.
im so happy you referenced the rainbow road its called a rainbow road video because i was literally singing the lyrics alongside the segments just so i knew what part of the song it was
Fun Fact: in the Japan-only Expansion kit for F-Zero X, there's an exclusive N64 Rainbow Road remix.
Mario Kart 8's original DLC (pre-Deluxe), of course, brings this full circle with the inclusion of tracks for Mute City and Big Blue.
Thank you so much for making this. I had no idea how many motifs I was missing

Me, having just learn this: "You're not alone."
I'm really enjoying this channel, and it's kinda frustrating that it doesn't have that many videos yet,, hope you keep making such good content 👌🏽
No simping intended 🌚
thanks ty for the explanation of the description, would be lost without it LOL (that means laugh out loud)
"those are all boring, though! *yawns* *lays down* *goes to sleep*" has been in my head all day
Mario kart 7’s title screen song secret is the most nostalgic
Edit: MARIO KART 7 HAS THE BEST EASTER EGGS IN THE MUSIC CUZ THE MUSIC IS NOSTALGIC AND REALLY GOOD AND NO ONE CAN SAY OTHERWISE
Fun facts:
The Wii version of Bowser castle IS Maple treeway, just reversed.
The N64 version of Bowser castle has an dark atmosphere. The harmony is desynchronized at the second half of the music, the part 1 of the harmony is reverbed AND the harmony is split up into 2 channels out of 5 (the 2/5 is the left harmony and the 3/5 is the right harmony)
you completely stole my sense of humor wtf (love the video you're great)
This thumbnail with a banana listening to music with a koopa shell headset is something I didn‘t know I needed
dude motifs n shit are one of my favourite things to listen out for in video games
One of me favourite uses of them tho is in credits, something about the credits being comprised of bits from across the game is SO MUCH BETTER than a wholly original song.
