Sticker star has AWESOME music take a listen its mostly big band but bowser and jr have rock boss themes and 3d world started the new nintendo revolution of music! how did bowser's highway showdown not blow you away?
ive had enough of people debating this sticker star is a good game but not for a paper mario game so that automatically makes it bad calm down and the music is AWESOME so at least love that
When I first this song I thought a woman was singing the melody the string instrument, the erhu, was playing. Now I find out it was an actual instrument instead.... I am mindblown by the beauty of this song. Gotta love chinese/japanese culture....
In the Mario Kart Direct we caught a glimpse of how the artists played stuff and I'd love more of that. It doesn't have to be an entire documentary (would also love that though). The music in Mario Kart 8 is so... real :P
Not all of the songs in Mario Kart 8 are played by a live band. Even in the songs that do use a live band, there are still a number of pre-recorded tracks that the instrumentalists seen here (drums, guitar, bass, violin, brass/horns, woodwinds, etc.) play along to. Such a hypothetical DVD would, if it showed anything else, need to show the composers working at their computers to program the MIDI tracks.
Cilverkid520 Yeah, but you can choose to ignore that and discover awesome bands like, the melvins, red fang, foo fighters, sound garden ect ect. There has and always be bad "company made" music (it's just as bad here in negland too) but you have to go out of your way to find the good stuff if you enjoy it :D
Cilverkid520 Bieber is Canadian (and should stay in Canada) and 1 Direction is British. Why do you single out just Americans? There are plenty of Americans who have musical talent. They just aren't given as much attention as these crappy singers.
Love Nintendo showing off the musicians behind the scenes!! Please give us a full orchestral score for the next Legend of Zelda game, it more than deserves it! (And when I say full orchestral score, I really mean it: a full modern!)
I'm not getting you, perhaps only a few songs where show on those vids but a CD was included with the game, which was entirely orchestra, and even several Symphony of the Goddesses concerts were held around the world.
Me when the course came out: COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL COLL Me when I saw this video: YES YES YES YES YES YES YES Me when I played the course: NO NO NO NO NO NO Me when I played the course on 200cc: *NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE*
Puppy XP Both tracks have some parts that are somewhat based of an Erhu classic "Kangding Love Song", which is the most well known Erhu pieces and usually features in tons of modern music creations.
I think a Mario Kart 8 soundtrack would be a fantastic Club Nintendo reward, and the discs could actually contain these live performances from the studio when you played them on a DVD player or even the Wii U.
The Mario Kart 8 band should do a tour.
I would love to see that!!
They just did its called Mario kart tour
KRATS8K haha so funny
Mario kart tour. DUH
I would definitely wanna see that.
The bass lines are so sick in Mario kart 8
Felipe Pereira Almost Seinfeldian
nintendo: how to combine successfully a chinese traditional instrument with a slap bass
Its my favorite song in the whole game besides big blue
the mad men did it again six years later with autumn mountain battle theme from paper mario the origami king
they can't keep getting away with this
jazz
Nintendo: Making slap bass and the Erhu sound awesome together.
And I have to admit, though I'm a Playstation and XBOX fan, Nintendo DOES put out the best soundtracks. That, I can't deny.
And games.
Captain Falcon Eh...
Yes. Yes, they mainly do.
***** hmm this list is flawed super mario 3d world and paper mario sticker star aren't on this list silly you

Guitar - Takashi Masuzaki (Dimension)
Drums - Hiroyuki Noritake (T-Square)
Veterans of Japanese jazz fusion since the 80s.
do you know where the bass player is from?
@@NerttheNert Bassist is Teppei Kawasaki, he also plays in the band Dimension quite frequently! He's also got a youtube channel :D
It’s kinda funny that T-Square who made the song that inspired the famous Super Mario Bros theme, is now working with Nintendo for Mario Kart music
WOAH HE'S FROM T-SQUARE???
I'm disappointed I never knew
Man the bird flying around the track is the coolest thing I've ever seen
When I first this song I thought a woman was singing the melody the string instrument, the erhu, was playing. Now I find out it was an actual instrument instead.... I am mindblown by the beauty of this song. Gotta love chinese/japanese culture....
PinkNight ikr
That erhu is absolutely stunning
DAT BASSLINE IS INFECTIOUS
It's so juicy as well, it just satisfies me completely. This is why I love the bass and why it included in music the way it is today.
It's a really catch track, and the fact it's played live makes it even better!
I'm loving that bassist
Odizzmo The Great that's bassist.
Pleas release a DVD of the recording of the awesome Mario Kart 8 music!
Sly Koopa Nah, he means a making-of DVD that goes through the process of making the Mario Kart 8 OST.
In the Mario Kart Direct we caught a glimpse of how the artists played stuff and I'd love more of that. It doesn't have to be an entire documentary (would also love that though). The music in Mario Kart 8 is so... real :P
Me too, nintendo make a DvD soundtrack for the super mario 3d world , so i wish they make a DvD for the MK8.

Incredible. Nintendo = Quality.
How this comment has aged
For some reason, I feel like theres just perfect timing and choreography here.
Ohhhh my lawd that bass line boy. That bass player got some soul in him!!
I love how well the erhu fits in this.
I can listen to that guitar all day
This is like the music video you always get when you buy a movie on DVD.
Take note America, this is what skill looks like.
If you're implying that America doesn't have skilled musicians you've CLEARLY not been looking hard enough.
Have you seen the crap that Americans call music lately? Bieber? 1D? Young Thug?
Cilverkid520 Yeah, but you can choose to ignore that and discover awesome bands like, the melvins, red fang, foo fighters, sound garden ect ect.
There has and always be bad "company made" music (it's just as bad here in negland too) but you have to go out of your way to find the good stuff if you enjoy it :D

***** Would you like to edit my comment to be more offensive?
Nintendo music just keeps getting better and better!
Also I just love this guitar player, guy looks the part so much. Rock on man!
The perfect mix of traditional and rock music!
Congrats Nintendo
Wow. Just... wow. The soundtrack for this DLC pack is phenomenal.
Simplemente hermoso, definitivamente una pieza musical perfecta para ambientar una espectacular pista.
This is how DLC is done!
Very good job. The music in this track captures its theme perfectly.
Love Nintendo showing off the musicians behind the scenes!! Please give us a full orchestral score for the next Legend of Zelda game, it more than deserves it! (And when I say full orchestral score, I really mean it: a full modern!)
They already did with skywordsword.
It wasn't full, you can see it in the videos.
***** It wasn't full, you can see it in the videos.

Presenting my favorite song from Mario kart eight
0:59 to the end is amazing
This has to be one of the best tunes in gaming. Its up there with WoW tunes.
I hope you do more videos like this, its so awesome!!
I love that its a heavily remixed version of chai kingdom from super mario land
There's just so much funk hidden under the surface of this track. All of it could easily be missed by the average listener.
This has become one of my favourite Mario Kart stages of all time! THANK YOU, NINTENDO!!!
~~~the music~~~
Nice! Keep these music videos coming Nintendo.
That bass player... awesome :)
loving the diversity of instruments!
So this may or may not have been the starting point of my obsession with Jazz Fusion 💀
I knew there was something about this track's song I loved so much when I first played it...this video sums it all up.
I'm feelin' the Dragon Road Day music from Sonic Unleashed.
Exactly! I get that vibe too.
I feel like they had a bit of a name swap lol,since you race on roads and there was a lot drifting in unleashed
That's all I can think of when I play this track. (Nice pic btw lol)
I'm thinking Hands on Hall partner. ;)
Joshep Rubi Best troll 10/10
I swear to gawd I thought this was already on the game . I forgot until i looked at the cups
Me when the course came out: COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL COLL
Me when I saw this video: YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
Me when I played the course: NO NO NO NO NO NO
Me when I played the course on 200cc: *NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE*
Tundra the YoshiWolf course is a really weird word for map or race track
This. Is. Awesome! I love this soundtrack!
The erhu exemplifies this track as well as the good support of the shamisen.
Take note CoD, this is DLC done right. Great music, epic courses, "show me ya moves". It's great!
Best mario kart song. Hands down
THIS HAS NO RIGHT TO BE THIS FIRE
I NEED THIS SOUNDTRACK!!!
I love that instrument at 0:13 I don't know the name of it, but I hear it in the Legend of Korra A LOT. Also......SLAP BASS! I
erhu
AEspurr lol no
I love the music! I can't wait to play the course!
That bassist tho
Nintendo put these dudes on RUclips but not the others
Everyone I see in this video is just killing it.
THIS IS🔥
That bassist must be so good at rhythm games
This makes me actually like the music more.
Hats off to an amazing use of the erhu (i think thats what its called).
1:12 that whammy bar effect
IKR
This music is a remix of Chai Kingdom from Super Mario Land
Not at all
Puppy XP Both tracks have some parts that are somewhat based of an Erhu classic "Kangding Love Song", which is the most well known Erhu pieces and usually features in tons of modern music creations.
I really like the idea of showning live the music amd It would be nice to have more common these videos.
this is my favour soundtrack in mariokart 8 ! ^_^
Dios santo ! He jugado tanto esa pista y hasta hoy la sumo a mis favoritas de Nintendo.
Es algo dificil mientras jugas disfrutar este manjar auditivo.
that was awesome
That erhu, though.
I think a Mario Kart 8 soundtrack would be a fantastic Club Nintendo reward, and the discs could actually contain these live performances from the studio when you played them on a DVD player or even the Wii U.
Slap that bass.
Thanks for listing the instruments at the end. I never knew what the erhu was called.
very cool, love the inside look
I love this song
dat bass line tho
This is now my favorite song in Mario Kart 8!
This is one of my favourie music
I used it for the background music of a trip memory video!!!
That Bass!
Is anyone else reminded of the Chai Kingdom from Super Mario Land?
I love Erhu music in video games
Better than the charts
It is the best course i have ever seen!
+INFINITE SOCIAL CREDIT
Makin good use of that whammy bar!
This song is so catchy!
Nice heru
Nintendo,
Mario kart 8 is an awsome game just like the musics!
Nintendo makes awesome music them any other musician I mean
I would to see them live mute city dragon drift away.
PLEASE MORE OF THESE SOUNDTRACK VIDEOS FOR ALL UR GAMES
I like how the course is supposed to be based on the chinese dragon!
This music is awesome! It sounds like something out of Shenmue.
What I hate about songs like this, is just the BASS PLAYER IS NOT LOUD ENOUGH, I CAN BARELY HEAR THAT SEXY BASS IN THE BACKGROUND
Topp Ač ess amaniz Evtortormoavock Estrango Guitaro XD
That guy with the guitar is so seriouse XD
its still sucks for not owning the console yet. I'm a few dollars short!
Don't worry, your getting there, and by no time you'll be enjoying these masterpiece games on your Wii U.
You can buy a refurbished Wii U for only $200 on Nintendo's website. Hope this helped!
awesomeguy2009 i love how everyone is telling me this but i don't have no credit card.
***** Tell your mom to get you one and give her your money. It's what I always do.
***** lucky bastard
THIS IS SO COOL
Best one yet
My favorite track(s)
What's that instrument's name that's played with a bow? (Not sure if it's a string instrument)
Erhu
And how do they do the Frontrunning Beats?
No se como se llama ese instrumento tan unico que tocan, pero emula a una bella dama tararenando con su voz ❤
Upload more videos like this one plz ;__; I mean, with the musicians
They should have more music like this in games.
Japanese people are awesome.
this soundtrack sounds like arms menu theme
Bro here I am going crazy wondering where the saxophones and trumpets have a part in this 😭
Why put these beautiful musics but not a sound menu to adjust sound FX and sound tracks volume :(
iTunes soundtrack or Riot!!!! D:!! I wanna have this album and support not only you, but the Nintendo Big Band for making this possible!
