The Intro was simply Beautiful. It gave a feeling of "I'm in space and I can Shape my own Destiny, It all begins here for me." Then the Rock Portion kicks in, and you're like, "Now let's get things started." Simply Amazing. I absolutely Love it.
Thanks ! This is one of those rare arrangements where the in-your-face upbeat rock only starts later. Some people did not like the long intro. But I really felt the melody was touching, and wanted to strengthen that.
Me too. I. Literally wanna cry. If you’ve seen my comments, you will know that I account for half the views of this video. I’m only replying to you because otherwise the comments section would flood with me lol.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. The beautiful intro, the rock middle that brings back so much childhood nostalgia, the wonderful ending. It's all absolutely amazing, and I love it!
Thank you so much! That's really one of those songs where it would have been a shame not to arrange it both ways (calm and epic), as each ended up working wonders!
Out of nowhere i decided to listen to mario kart track remixes again and after a couple it reminded me of this masterpiece, it feels so nostalgic, amazing work.
Just going to let you know, even though I frequent some of your work, Extra Remix brought me here. Brought a tear to my eye, man. Nostalgia coupled with some seriously tender remixing. Incredible stuff.
I go to a lot of Melee tournaments, and I listen to music while I play, and this has very quickly become one of my favorites to listen to in tournament. So thank you so much for making it! (Not only that, it's great to listen to at any time really. Definitely one of my favorite remixes of anything)
+Connor Lamb You're very welcome and thanks ! :) I'm happy to know that my song can be of good use during any tournament you enter. That way I can indirectly support you too !
Haha it may be a problem but I take that as a compliment ! The best I can do is to keep going ! :) Feel free to share as much as you want, that's what really helps - and thanks !!
np96vh Haha is that really necessary when you can download the song for free and play it on repeat in your favorite player as much as you want ? :D (Thanks by the way !)
Honestly this represents a portion of my youth that I can never return to. Thank you so much for making such beautiful art that I can listen to to relive the time back when things didn't matter and I could be carefree.
You're welcome, I primarily make music for fun - and the copyright holders have claims on most of these. If you want to support me, you can pick a price for one of my originals on Bandcamp, or you can find some of my arrangements on iTunes/Spotify/Deezer/etc..., those are properly licensed and I can earn a little bit for my work there.
J'adore quand ça passe de la partie calme à la partie plus rock, avec d'abord la basse qui rentre puis la guitare rythmique ensuite la lead et enfin ça EXPLOOOOOOOSE !
Imagine watching the last episode of Extra Credits. Floyd starts talking about all the memorable moments they had with the team and the viewers... Then this song starts playing. He then says good-bye to us, a mash up of every episode starts rolling as this song plays, to finally end with the main picture of EC at 4:01 and a "thank you for everything". Now you can cry ;)
You finally finish the race on Rainbow Road, You score first, and the camera starts zooming out as this starts playing, You put down the console and sigh, You then start rocking. make a n64 one plz
***** I liked the chorus of the N64 version, and it's similar to this one, but the verse here speaks more things to me than the other one. Hence why I chose to arrange this instead. I won't cover the N64 song, in that context.
Just hearing this reminds me of my dad, he was a huge fan of Mario Kart. He and I would play the Wii version of it on his time off of work. And he was also a fan of Rock & Roll; sometimes he would play it during our races. At one point, he told me he wanted to see the next installment (Mario Kart 7). However, he unfortunately passed away one year before Mario Kart 7 was released... 2018, and I found this in my "Recommended for you" section. After hearing this, I cried. It reminds me so much of him and the races and battles we had together. Thank you so much for making the music and this video. I'm sure if he were right now, he'd be in love with this. Yours truly, -StarSunCentral.
Your dad is so proud of you, and I know he is on the Rainbow Road now, and he is waiting for you and both of you will run that celestial Rainbow Road FOR ALL THE ETHERNITY :') God bless you, my friend. (Sorry for my bad english).
I'm sorry for your loss, and happy that somehow my arrangement could provide you with some sort of catharsis. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings !
Thank you both. I know that he'd want me to keep on racing for him, so that's what I'm going to do. I apologize for the late reply, by the way. But I would do whatever it takes to make my dad proud of me! Heck, I'll win every race if I have to!
Man Mario Kart is eternal! I still go back to the SNES and 64 titles sometimes for fun. I’m sure I’d be attached just the same to this theme if I had played MK7! Thanks for your kind message!
My favorite all time classics will always be the older generation Mario Kart Titles. I'll keep them in my heart no matter what happens. I'll always look forward to them and the wonderful memories I had with these awesome games!! Nintendo has made my childhood 100 times better!! And I hope that they keep doing it in the future. They are certainly full of surprises.
Oh now that I think of it I also planned to arrange the SNES Rainbow Road music at some point, but have yet to do it. And I totally agree. I can't imagine how different my younger days would have been if not for Nintendo and their games!
@@CarboHydroMusic Yeah. Nintendo is the reason I'm this person sending this message here. They changed my entire life. Ever since I got a Wii at 4 years old, I fell in love with Nintendo. And from that point, that is the only company that I buy consoles from.
Woah, that was amazing! The first loop was really beautiful. Made me teary eyed. ;-; Then it sounds really epic with the electric guitar! :D I really love this remix.
Well this song contains the original song from Mario Kart 64 as well as original bits that have a huge emotional drive. It really got to my guts too, even without having played MK7 at all :)
@@CarboHydroMusic That's awesome. :) I've actually added several so far to my instrumental music playlist, but this one I've listened to at least a dozen times since yesterday. I love the progression from the calm start to the epic ending. Thanks for sharing these songs!
+Jmspeedy13 Thanks a lot ! I'm glad it moved it so much :) - I won't be covering the RR theme from other Mario Kart games now that I've done this one (my favorite), but I do have something in the works with Mario Kart 8. Stay tuned !
The best piece of Mario music I've heard. Beautiful!! Bravo! *cries* :D. Love the Rainbow Road music when you play in on an electric guitar. Keep up the good work!
Hands down the best cover I have ever heard in my life. You capture the feel of the original with perfection. The build up is amazing. 11 out of 10. I want this for my ringtone.
Aw looks like you really enjoyed it to the fullest :) Thanks ! You can download the song for free from my VGM arrangement site (link up there in the description), so help yourself !
Omg, I had another damn eargasm. FUCK! This true work right here. I was watching some of Chuggaaconroy's old videos and he used your music a lot. This is wonderful.
I first heard Unsealed on my psp radio like 10 years ago almost, shoutcast WZMR, you've come so far, and are so much better than you were then. The nostalgia, to think that I first heard this song when I was 5 years old, on Mario Kart 64, I still listen to everything you put out, keep it up man.
CHM... after listening uncountable times I have to say this arrangement is AWESOME! with so much feeling behind this great melody... what a great job dude! I really love everything... I'm maybe not the biggest fan of your lead tone, but that is just a question of taste... so hats off bro! I really looking forward to your future projects and works =)
This is a amazing piece of work. Clearly demonstrates the effect of music; "although intangible, music can take you places, places that you have been before, and places you are destined to go..."
Picture this: It's the Friday before Christmas, sometime in the near future. You and your friends are sitting in a movie theater, popcorn and soda in tow. Edgar Wright's big Mario Kart movie comes out today, and you - knowing how these movies usually go - can hardly wait for it to be over. "This better be worth my $45.20," you cynically think to yourself. 0:00 The lights dim as a familiar tune starts to play. A hush of anticipation falls over the crowd. You know you remember the song from somewhere... yet you cannot identify its source. 0:02 Universal's familiar globe fills the screen. Halfway through the logo, the acoustic guitar kicks in - and with it, your nostalgia. Duels for first with childhood friends... battles won and lost over the slightest change of fate... jaw-dropping vistas and perfect musical cues. You get optimistic. Perhaps this won't be so bad? 0:25 More logos - Nintendo, Amblin, Illumination, and Working Title. As these fill the screen, you hear snippets of conversation in the background - nothing too loud, but enough to be heard. "Beautiful day for racing... sunny, just over 70 in Toad City... the stadium is packed with fans." Your optimisim continues to climb... surely, this *must* be too good to be true. 1:19 An electric bass stars to thrum as the opening credits roll. The familiar sillhuoettes of your childhood friends prepare for battle in the dressing room. The bros, the princess, Bowser, Toad - everyone's here. As they walk out onto the racetrack, the remix crescendoing all the while, you can hear the chants of the track's rabid fans in the background. 1:37 By now, the main characters are in full view. The camera pans out, revealing a glorious redition of Mario Kart Stadium. The fireworks explode above the track, the banners flutter in a gentle breeze, the spectators let out a rabid roar, and all remaining vestiges of your cynicism shatter as the heroes and villains start their engines. 1:48 The racers rev their engines as the guitars wail. You count down Lakitu's signal with the now-enthralled crowd. "3... 2... 1..." 1:55 "And... they're off!" Your new favorite film has begun.
Very glad that mk8's rainbow road features an electric guitar quite heavily. I think it's the best rainbow road theme yet, but this cover of mk7 is of a very similar standard- excellent job!
Yeah I've heard the new versions with live instruments and they are awesome (there are 2 of them it seems, one in the Special Cup and one in the Lightning Cup - I really like the latter more than the former, perhaps because of nostalgia). But MK7's has something more, can't explain it :) I'm glad you liked how I threw my own spin at it either way, thanks !
***** There's just something about mk8's (the special cup one) theme that I love though, I think the guitar creates a calming, perhaps even nostalgic effect for me. But yeah I would definitely agree that they did the n64s' theme justice.
This is truly amazing. As a Mario Kart fan, I'd like to say: thank you. I have just recently subscribed to this channel. That has been the best choice I've ever made. When I first heard this, it was just great, astounding, magnificent, wonderful, and 500 characters will not be enough to describe the overwhelming feeling I got when I first listened to this. You sir, have earned my respect, as well as the other Mario Kart fans, and others alike. This is just perfect. Keep doing what you're doing
and I say it again... awesome beautiful intro... and great electric guitar performance... it's always a pleasure to listen to this great arrangement...
From chill classic guitar to the badass metal and mad shreds in your music across the years, lemme say I fuckin love it. I've been listening to your creations for years ever since I found your Duke Nukem arrangement, and maybe now might be a good time to leave an appreciative comment. Your stuff blows my mind away. Keep on being rad. \m/
+Searinox Navras Every time a year comes to a close I ask myself the same question, whether I can afford to keep making music the year that comes next. The one thing that stays true every single time is that you guys make me want to. :) Thanks for your heartfelt comment, and listening to my music for so long !
This music is calming, soothing, and relaxing. It gives me this overwhelming feeling of unrestrained joy and happiness... In short it's the exact opposite of what Rainbow Road makes me feel.
Thank you! That's actually a pretty accurate way to describe the feeling I wanted to emulate, and I love the Top Gun Anthem, so I'm glad it reminded you of that song!
I have been listening to your music for quite a while and I have yet to find a track i didn't love from you. There is an intersection where talent and passion meets. It is there I find your music.
You my friend have made a masterpiece. While Mount Wario is my favorite OST, this Arrangement can rival it! I love the build into the electric guitars.
Ive been slowly and methodically going through this channel because all the stuff im finding is kick ass. (Its even rare for me to post comment on youtube due to the trolls). But this... all of this... wow. Theres a strange sort of happy zen from listening to this (for the second time) I applaud you
You made this song even more beautiful. Instant subscribe!
+Nathaniel Bandy I SO wanted to make this song shine :) Thanks a lot and welcome to my channel !
Hi Nate
I love how everytime I go on a non-Nathaniel video, Nathan's in the comments
Same. I can listen to this for hours
Nathaniel Bandy yea thats it 😅
Once your server is shut down, mk7, I will never forget you. :")
The Intro was simply Beautiful. It gave a feeling of "I'm in space and I can Shape my own Destiny, It all begins here for me." Then the Rock Portion kicks in, and you're like, "Now let's get things started."
Simply Amazing. I absolutely Love it.
I agree. Well said.
Yes, I love the intro. 😍😢
That's the perfect description
1:19 Manly tears of nostalgia were shed
i’ve been playing mario kart since the nintendo 64 and i’m 15. the nostalgia this brings back man. this song is beautiful
@@matthewmalinac6186 I’ve been playing this game since the NDS
First words when the guitar started:
Oh man this is good...
Thanks ! This is one of those rare arrangements where the in-your-face upbeat rock only starts later. Some people did not like the long intro. But I really felt the melody was touching, and wanted to strengthen that.
***** Thanks ! :)
I keep returning to this, despite on how old this song is it never gets old and is always like to hear it :)
Aw and you're always welcome ! :)
Me too. I. Literally wanna cry. If you’ve seen my comments, you will know that I account for half the views of this video. I’m only replying to you because otherwise the comments section would flood with me lol.
Honesty when I listen to this with my eyes closed, I don't see rainbow road but a colab of vg heroes enjoying some surreal settings. Love it.
I like your description, it's very epic ! :) And thanks !
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. The beautiful intro, the rock middle that brings back so much childhood nostalgia, the wonderful ending.
It's all absolutely amazing, and I love it!
Thank you so much! That's really one of those songs where it would have been a shame not to arrange it both ways (calm and epic), as each ended up working wonders!
Nobody can cry themselves to sleep. They have to listen to Planetarium (CarboHydroM guitar arrangement) on full repeat to sleep.
Out of nowhere i decided to listen to mario kart track remixes again and after a couple it reminded me of this masterpiece, it feels so nostalgic, amazing work.
This is the perfect 1st place results music for Rainbow Road.
Thanks !
Still coming back to this song :,)
Thanks a lot for your support !
Just going to let you know, even though I frequent some of your work, Extra Remix brought me here. Brought a tear to my eye, man. Nostalgia coupled with some seriously tender remixing. Incredible stuff.
Thanks a lot ! :) I really put my all into making this one song an emotional treat, so I get the feeling I did it right !
One of the most beautiful Nintendo songs, and now it is even more beautiful. Amazing job!
Thank you so much !
I go to a lot of Melee tournaments, and I listen to music while I play, and this has very quickly become one of my favorites to listen to in tournament. So thank you so much for making it! (Not only that, it's great to listen to at any time really. Definitely one of my favorite remixes of anything)
+Connor Lamb You're very welcome and thanks ! :) I'm happy to know that my song can be of good use during any tournament you enter. That way I can indirectly support you too !
I have one problem...
You don't have enough fans
Haha it may be a problem but I take that as a compliment ! The best I can do is to keep going ! :) Feel free to share as much as you want, that's what really helps - and thanks !!
Yup, you rock dude!
Another problem, need Extended version
np96vh Haha is that really necessary when you can download the song for free and play it on repeat in your favorite player as much as you want ? :D (Thanks by the way !)
This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard, thank you so much for this, it even still shines to this day
Ah this is still beautiful 3 years later
Hey thanks for dropping by !
_This feeling when you get nostalgia from something you never experienced before_
This is still, after all these years, the best track from any Mario Kart and the best cover of any track from any of the games.
My, thank you for the kind words, this is very heart-warming!
I, too, get teary-eyed at this one. This is a fantastic, FANTASTIC piece of cover work. Need to tell all my friends.
Awesome ! Thanks a lot for your support ! :)
Honestly this represents a portion of my youth that I can never return to. Thank you so much for making such beautiful art that I can listen to to relive the time back when things didn't matter and I could be carefree.
You're welcome! I share this feeling of longing for those good times as well, and making these songs alleviates it a little bit :)
Rainbow Road music was already great in general throughout all of the Mario Kart Games but, you made it so much better!!!! Great job, Carbo!!!!
I remember the first time I listened to this back in 2013.... Good times :)
Thanks for the remixes/rearrangement!!
Hey thanks for coming by to drop me a line ! You're very welcome :)
I’ll never forget my childhood this song always brings me back to it
This song is so beautiful
Thank you so much !
@@CarboHydroMusicyou’re welcome!!! ❤
BEST ARRANGEMENT FOR AN ENDING TO ANYTHING, EVER.
I don't want Extra Credits to end. :(
Thank you for all the addicting intros there, btw :D

Jason Kiantoro WTF?! What makes you think EC is going to end?
perfection at last

You have such a wonderful knack for arrangements. This literally gave me chills - eargasms.

***** of course not! I just post it in case someone need a reason to cry, to relieve themselves :)

The best piece of Mario music I've heard. Beautiful!! Bravo! *cries* :D. Love the Rainbow Road music when you play in on an electric guitar. Keep up the good work!
Didn't mean to make you cry - unless it's out of sheer nostalgia :) I'm glad you enjoyed my arrangement, thanks !
Hands down the best cover I have ever heard in my life. You capture the feel of the original with perfection. The build up is amazing. 11 out of 10. I want this for my ringtone.

But MK7's has something more, can't explain it :) I'm glad you liked how I threw my own spin at it either way, thanks !
***** There's just something about mk8's (the special cup one) theme that I love though, I think the guitar creates a calming, perhaps even nostalgic effect for me. But yeah I would definitely agree that they did the n64s' theme justice.
Awesome! I love your remixes! Best I've ever heard!
Madison Figueiredo Thank you so much !
This is truly amazing.
As a Mario Kart fan, I'd like to say: thank you. I have just recently subscribed to this channel. That has been the best choice I've ever made. When I first heard this, it was just great, astounding, magnificent, wonderful, and 500 characters will not be enough to describe the overwhelming feeling I got when I first listened to this. You sir, have earned my respect, as well as the other Mario Kart fans, and others alike. This is just perfect. Keep doing what you're doing
I think I flew for a second there... Gorgeous!
One of the best remixes I've ever heard, incredible!
Thanks ! Very glad that you enjoyed it so much ! :)
I've come to expect epic from you.
This did not disappoint in any way.
I swear the Subscribe button disappeared after I subscribed, cause it knew I will not be unsubbing!
and I say it again... awesome beautiful intro... and great electric guitar performance... it's always a pleasure to listen to this great arrangement...
Thanks mate, I'm glad you still enjoy it to this day :) I'll definitely make more of those in the future !
Oh I never had any doubt you're going to do more epic guitar driven rock arrangements =)))
wow! blows me away with how nostalgic and heartfelt it is!
Holy crap you did listen to all my stuff a couple months ago! Thank you man!
Oh man, your works never disappoint. They're all amazing and all sound amazingly clean. You have somehow attained the perfect level of rock.
this sounds happy and entergetic at the same time, i love it.
Yes it is, mostly because the original is as well ! Thanks a lot ! :)
I've replayed this video an unhealthy amount of times lmao
This is not unhealthy at all !!
That was one Hell of an experience. Nice work, dude!
From chill classic guitar to the badass metal and mad shreds in your music across the years, lemme say I fuckin love it. I've been listening to your creations for years ever since I found your Duke Nukem arrangement, and maybe now might be a good time to leave an appreciative comment. Your stuff blows my mind away. Keep on being rad. \m/
+Searinox Navras Every time a year comes to a close I ask myself the same question, whether I can afford to keep making music the year that comes next. The one thing that stays true every single time is that you guys make me want to. :) Thanks for your heartfelt comment, and listening to my music for so long !
Well, congrats. You are now one of the greatest people ever to walk this earth.
This creation is exceptionally beauteous.
This music is calming, soothing, and relaxing. It gives me this overwhelming feeling of unrestrained joy and happiness...
In short it's the exact opposite of what Rainbow Road makes me feel.
Haha so true ! :D
This is one of my favorite channels on RUclips. This was amazing!
This song gives me chills
amazing cover, inspirational sounding!
1:30 onwards reminded me of the opening credits of Top Gun, building into the Faltermeyer wail (up until the double kicks came in haha). Very nice!
Thank you! That's actually a pretty accurate way to describe the feeling I wanted to emulate, and I love the Top Gun Anthem, so I'm glad it reminded you of that song!
Excellent cover! This has got to be one of my favorite songs from Mario Kart. It's definitely my favorite Rainbow Road.
レインボーロードのアレンジのなかでも結構好き
ありがとうございました
Incredible ♥
Thank you!
I have been listening to your music for quite a while and I have yet to find a track i didn't love from you.
There is an intersection where talent and passion meets. It is there I find your music.
This is a wonderful compliment sir, thank you ! I'll definitely strive to keep my work faithful to it ! :)
I always loved the Rainbow Road Theme. I always have this mix of joy and teary eyes when I hear it. Your version is no exception. ;)
In fact, I cry EVERY time.
And I watch this video a lot!
View 40,000!!!!!!!!
btw CarboHydroMusic great work can't stop listening!
Woohoo !! Thank you so much for listening continuously !
You made rainbow road sound even better than what MK7 did to it. Very impressive, this was a great listen.
You my friend have made a masterpiece. While Mount Wario is my favorite OST, this Arrangement can rival it! I love the build into the electric guitars.
A wave of nostalgia just hit my square in the face at 0:13
My god, I can't say much more then thank you, so... Thank you.
Ive been slowly and methodically going through this channel because all the stuff im finding is kick ass. (Its even rare for me to post comment on youtube due to the trolls). But this... all of this... wow. Theres a strange sort of happy zen from listening to this (for the second time) I applaud you
Amazing song, really love it. Keep up the good work!!
Looking forward to your next mix. :)
