None grow up and turn your hat forwards ..ever hea4d of @GeorgeCarlin stand up.... don't watch it you'll weep with embarrassment.. you being a piss weak about boy...turn your hat forwards
Hey Sammy, it was really cool when you used to piano and showed us the chord/notes used, what are your thoughts doing that more often, or even having a special video, showing us some notes/chords in a few different songs from Mario Kart or games? Actually, would be cool to see you play drums, SammyDrums! Some of these beats sound fun to play on drums!
As a fellow musician, definitely enjoy your musical analysis!
I hope you do a sequel to the Viewer's Choice Soundtrack Reaction!
@@Rubberman202Same!
@@TimVigillaWould be cool.

2:15 - Tour Amsterdam Drift

9:54 - Wii DK Summit/DK’s Snowboard Cross

33:37 - Outro
GCN Waluigi Stadium sounding like Looney Toons is such a funny comparison but also so accurate.
Honestly makes sense. Considering how goofy Double Dash soundtrack can get
@@mutiiYT more like how goofy of a character Waluigi is - it suits him perfectly
Hi Mayro. Since you commented on a video by a RUclipsr with less subscribers than you I must ask you to comment on one of my videos since I also have less subscribers than you.
@@mutiiYT it does suit it
But if it was who was there to replace waluigi
It's always the simplest tracks that have the biggest bangers of songs. Toad Circuit, Shroom Ridge, and now Mario Circuit. All absolute gems.
Oh yes
ngl mario circuit is one of the only complex circuit tracks out there
Kinda hot take: I think the electric guitar in Dk summit brings an edge to the song, it gives off a “you’re snowboarding and it’s cool as hell” vibe, while the original (which is still an s tier song) only gives off a “you sure are snowboarding” vibe
Yesir.
24:44 I heard these electric piano fills and I *KNEW* you’d appreciate this! Actually, the entire DS Mario Circuit arrangement for 8DX is something I figured would be up your alley. It’s kind of like how they treated DS Shroom Ridge, they gave it live horns, but kept it synthy.
I feel that the Tour Amsterdam Drift music is a more old bar Dutch song, as you said. But the mk8d version feels a lot like walking around on the local Dutch market where a couple of street artists are playing
As a dutch person you described that perfectly
@@Rvchnoob51Nice.
I have been waiting for this! I actually agree with all your opinions this time haha. Thank you for making another soundtrack reaction video, I heard that it took a long time to edit, you totally deserve more subs with this series!
It's cool knowing your opinions too!
That electric guitar in dk summit really works for me
The biggest problem with Riverside Park's theme is that the stage is so short, you'll finish a full lap before you're halfway through a loop.
Also, I like the new intro to Waluigi Stadium, because it reminds me of the title screen theme from Double Dash.
Maybe when you're playing on 200cc
Dude this videos are a joy where u analyze all the references and every single detail that sounds on the track. Never stop doing this bro cause it´s amazing
Thanks!!
Surprised you didn't mention the "wah-ing" electric guitar in DS Mario Circuit's B-section. That part was especially sick.
As always, thanks for your insight on this soundtrack: you still happen to make me notice and appreciate those background instruments.
It actually plays throughout the whole song.
I admittedly don't know anything about music composition, but your enthusiasm is why I always tune in to these, you really know what you're talking about.
I've been waiting to see this. Wave 4 has a lot of banger soundtracks.
I’ve awaited this specific video with uncharacteristic excitement and it absolutely delivers. Thank you Sam
Waluigi Stadium now perfectly fits woth Waluigi's goofy character
Nice pfp and name.
@@jumentoqueanima thx
Finally, refreshing Kart Life pays off
The amen break sample in DK Summit gave me chills, I LOVE the use of that in there
Mario Circuit and Singapore Speedway are easily my favorites. Bangers 🔥
lol his reaction to singapore is amazing
hopefully wave 4 has been great for you, mate 🎉
WOW Singapore is a huge banger! easily the best track on there with that groove and all that syncopation.
Got around to watching this. You are so knowledgeable with your music. I feel like I just learned so much! Wow! 🔥
Awesome! Thank you!
Love these videos! Can’t wait for the new one
Thank you!! It will come next week sometime! On vacation this week :)
I absolutely love the DK Summit track! It’s my favorite music in the Mario Kart series! I honestly am so glad that they used the electric guitar of the song since it modernizes it a little bit! And that percussion break is incredible! I loved your analysis on it 👍🏼
So I listened closely to the original DK Summit, and it actually also has a guitar playing the melody there as well; it's just drowned out more by the synth in that version and it being a MIDI guitar doesn't help it to stick out.
I gotta respectfully disagree with you on Waluigi Stadium. I rly like the goofiness because I think it perfectly captures the zaniness of Waluigi’s character!
That’s the thing I’m surprised he missed. He mentioned that it was shared music for both Waluigi Stadium and Wario Colosseum, so the music had to fit both characters. Now, the music was solely recreated for Waluigi Stadium, and they definitely made it goofier to fit Waluigi. (It’s why I didn’t like how DS Waluigi Pinball reused the Wario Stadium music… I don’t think it works as well. That music was created with Wario’s character in mind.)
Besides which, I think the new arrangement better fits the overall style of Mario Kart: Double Dash.
@@PianistTanooki I agree. Especially the last thing you said. That’s something that they’ve done rly well with the soundtrack in this wave.
The remixes/remakes of the music from the older games feel true & respectful to the style of the soundtracks OF those games.
DS Mario circuit feels very true to the original with all the retro sounding synthesizers and record scratches while at the same time, sprucing it up to modern standards and adding nice flairs like the horns.
Same with DK Summit. Still feels true to the Wii game’s style but with some nice new touches. And like you said, Waluigi stadium very much matches the chaotic zaniness of Double Dash.
YEAAAAH, another episode! So happy you're still continuing the series.
The best rivalry: Sammy VS. Electric Guitars
I'm glad the algorithm brought me here, really enjoy your analysis and thoughts
Ahh im glad too! Thanks so much.
Tour Amsterdam Drift: I like both versions pretty equally, I think of the Irish Drinking Song from Whose Line Is It Anyway
GBA Riverside Park: So fun, so groovy, one of my favorites
Wii DK Summit: Crazily enough, I was indifferent to the Original, still indifferent to the 8 version
Yoshi's Island: As someone who considers the original Yoshi's Island as an almost perfect OST from the SNES era, 8's version is a top 3 for me
Tour Bangkok Rush: I really enjoy the 8 version, I like the Oboe solo and the Flute solo
DS Mario Circuit: I really enjoyed the original, I also really enjoy the 8 version, love the rhodes piano, tie for me on which is better
GCN Waluigi Stadium: I love the groove of the 8 version, not sure how I feel about the loss of the ska feel, as I did like that about the original, missing the organ, but I still like it more than the GCN version
Tour Singapore Speedway: EDM, I like the 8 version a lot more than the Tour version
Overall, Wave 3 and 4 were my favorites music wise, GBA Riverside Park was my most listened to song of 2023, but I'd have to say Rock Rock Mountain and Tour London Loop getting the live drums and guitar they always wanted, but the case is also made for SNES Bowser's Castle 3 on that note
I am from the Netherlands and the final part of the new Amsterdam drift music sounds like a ‘draaiorgel’, which is seen and heard in many cities here
I love your music analysis videos so much! Always looking forward for more
Thank you! Hope this will be another great one.
I actually love that Waluigi Stadium sounds so goofy. It's in character for Waluigi
You should've given a bit more time for Waluigi Stadium imo, the second part of the synth section does go kinda hard
Also, Bowser Castles in 64, Double Dash, and DS all had vocals. Pretty sure Luigi's Mansion from DS also had vocals, maybe others that i missed too
Toad's Turnpike as well I think?
GCN Bowser's Castle, as well.
@@yoshistar705connormiller9 that one is already in my comment lol
@@Stratilex Whoops, didn't notice that.
When Riverside Park was added to MK8D my sister thought it was a city track based on Riverside California
18:42 I always thought that for Bangkok Rush, the music would've been something like Thai instruments like the Ranad, Klui, etc and with some modern instruments on the sides (something like this ruclips.net/video/Mu_jkBd5BSU/видео.html) to give a exotic Southeast Asian sound with vibes of a bright modern city.
I think the Bangkok Rush music we got is still really good and is better in 8 Deluxe!
i feel like, just how the dlc is improving in quality with each wave, you too is improving these videos and it's fun to watch
Thank you!
I am so nervous about what they do with Vancouver Velocity’s soundtrack! It’s just so clean in Tour. But you never know! I do appreciate what they did with Singapore!
I’m also curious about what how Piranha Plant Cove will sound!
@@JonathonV we will see
Well, there is the music leak, I think it will sound great
And it does
I was expecting to either love or hate the Vancouver Velocity glow-up, and it was neither! Same with Piranha Plant Cove. I like the synth choice in VV slightly less, as well as the beat emphasis in PPC, but they’re not significantly different so I’m cool with them.
Heck yeah, been waiting for this.
I absolutely love spain by chick corea!! Some old friends of mine and I used to vibe to that all the time. Im so glad Bangkok Rush sounds like it with its C Section!
Are you an actual band teacher or music teacher because your so good at understanding all of the things related to music which is kinda cool
Just realized we both have the same pair of Sony headphones lol
The music this time around all sounds phenomenal (outside of maybe Waluigi Stadium due to sounding too goofy)! Singapore Speedway is not only my favorite type of track in terms of visuals, but the music is incredible as well! I love how satisfying the first drop feels. It's gotten stuck in my head multiple times.
I love the electric guitar in Mario kart 8 I always tend to listen to the songs that I can hear it
Yes!! Exactly what I was waiting for! 😄
18hrs ago?
@@Circle2947 premiere
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Yoshi’s Island definitely has some bopping music! I’ve had it stuck in my head ever since the release of wave 4… my mind is just blown on this entire wave. The electric guitar kills me every time I see your reaction. I love it so much and you don’t like it LOL
Love your takes on these overall as per usual.
Can’t wait for the soundtrack reaction for wave 5😁! Please do it, please 🙏
weird that people complain about the electric guitar in dk summit when it was in the original. sure it wasn't as pronounced but it was there
Mario Kart Band be like "when in doubt, use electric guitar" 😂
Am I the only one who thinks the GBA Riverside Park music sounds a bit like a marching band performance at a parade?
I can see it. I like it tho
Keen for this!
The 3rd section of the Bangkok Rush music with the flute solo kinda reminds me of Turning Red for some reason.
This is why Singapore speedway is really just the best the music chefs kiss
Singapore Speedway is that one track that manages to be both eye candy and ear candy at the same time, while also being really fun to drive on. It's probably my new favorite track in the entire game.
It’s finally here
The Amsterdam music sounds soooo cool but with Singapore (wich it's my favorite city course) I prefer the Tour version,, since the Berlin music for the Booster Pass I think that are the best enough, and the second section from the Singapore circuit in tour remember me a old level from Sonic games🤧💖
I think the percussiveness of the slap bass is good for the track.
I've been waiting for so long (about 5 days) FOR THIS I love these videos!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I'm gonna say one reason I'm leaning towards the 8 version of Bangkok Rush is because it feels like I'm visiting a jazz club and with the streets and tourist vibe of a more round design just kinda fits for me, especially when you're flying through markets and shops
This new Bankok is maybe one of my favorite OSTs ever, I have a major weak spot for Slap Bass though, I love this one :p
It's spelled B-A-N-G-K-O-K.
DIMENSION isn't the Mario kart band, although there are a couple members from the band who play the music in Mario Kart 8, but there are plenty more musicians from many other groups who play in mk8
Yeah nice I figured!
14:00 HUGE Louis Cole/Knower fan! I love his stuff, insanely tight drummer!
Loving these types of reaction keep up the good work
The GBA Riverside Park is sound like 12 bar blues part...
Good point!!
Kart Life when music: 😮
Nobody:
Amsterdam Drift: **Aggressive moaning**
For Amsterdam Drift, it's like the Tour version is like night time where everyone is drunk and the 8 Deluxe version is like daytime where you're going for a stroll through town and you're having a grand ol' time
I see a double dash case behind you and you used a f zero x soundtrack when you described the band Dimensions (Port Blue)
5:02-5:03=SHY GUY!!!
Wild woods also has vocals from before Tour! Perfectly normal, everybody forgets this, unfortunately. Such a good song too! =[
The waluigi stadium remix genuinely fits it as its about waluigi and he is goofy
I can see that for sure!
Chinatown section. that’s so enjoyable but that single section is so short and hard to enjoy. But the boring tracks have so good themes and it’s hard to not listen them. The Booster Course Pass I say has the best themes. I make my stand: the Booster Course Pass themes are better then base game themes. Change my mind.😊
ouuu ive been waiting for this one
3:41 you made me weak 😂
16:03 I mean, I get that the old music was certainly "impressive" because they did so much with very little to work with hardware-wise… however, if a live band can recreate a similar feel, like the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version of Yoshi's Island did, while embellishing on the tune, I'm going to prefer that.
NES/SNES music sounded the way it did because it *had* to, not because composers "wanted" it to sound that way. Koji Kondo himself still composes for modern games here and there, and while he does go for the electronic sound every now and then with some of his music in Super Mario Odyssey (like the Torkdrift Battle theme), the rest of his music takes advantage of real instruments. If you read the old Iwata Asks interviews of him reflecting on his composition days from the past, you can tell he was very happy to move on from the limited sound capabilities of the old hardware.
I hear people who say "live band music doesn't sound like video game music anymore" because it doesn't sound 8-bit or 16-bit, and that's kind of silly to me. This is like saying "Motion pictures don't look like motion pictures anymore because they're not in black and white like the good ol' days."
You’re definitely not wrong and I do think overall the evolution from the 8-bit music to what we have today with live orchestra arrangements are like light years better.
I think with discussions like this though, personal preference and nostalgia plays a role. I think what Sammy was trying to say (and what I took out of it) is that even limitations and imperfections can create the perfect listening experience and bring up those fun, nostalgic moments that a live band can’t really fully replicate. They can come close, but sometimes the live band feel may not quite the same feeling the original score can produce.
Personally it’s a fascinating discussion. Objectively I think we can agree the evolution of video game music is getting better for gaming experiences and that video game developers can create their full potential with that evolution. But I can see, especially with older gamers how a soundtrack from the old NES, SNES, N64 and others can create that feeling of perfection without truly being perfect. But I can see how a live band makes soundtracks and video game experiences unique and better overall. As it is with everything associated with video games (and with a lot of things) it’s subjective and things hit differently to different people.
@@andymarten I just saw this now.
I definitely understand what he's saying and admire his appreciation for how composers worked around the limitations of the hardware back then. And I do agree that some of it holds up, like Yoshi's Island. However, a lot of his takes in other videos tend to have this "the old version is better because it reminds me of my childhood," or "the old music is better because it sounds retro" mindset. It's a very biased, nostalgic take. "Retro" is a relative term that changes with each generation. At one point, "retro" video game music meant music from the 80s, which meant 8-bit chiptunes on the NES. Then "retro" expanded to include the SNES and 16-bit music, and later the Nintendo 64… and then the GameCube, etc.
We're at the point where a lot of today's teens or young adults grew up with the Wii. For these individuals, "retro" for them is stuff like Super Mario Galaxy… music that is largely performed by a live band/orchestra. For these people who grew up with music that didn't have the same hardware limitations from the 80s and 90s, they're not going to have the same appreciation for NES/SNES/N64 music. These people are going to look at it far more objectively and will more than likely say, "wow, this sounds awful."
When you remove the nostalgic factor, very few people are actually going to go "Wow, if only Eric Miyashiro could top the sound of Nintendo 64 trumpets… he needs to practice more." Like I said in my original comment, composers wrote the music the way they did on the NES/SNES because that's all the hardware could produce. If given the option to redo their own music, you can bet your ass they'd redo it and make it sound less "retro." A great example of this is the Super Mario RPG remake, where the same composer, Yoko Shimomura, went and redid all of her original music.
@@PianistTanookiAgain, I don’t disagree with anything you said in terms of music quality and how people retro music has changed throughout time. And I agree it is a biased, nostalgic take. The only thing I disagree is that he never made a blanket comment saying that retro music is objectively definitively better than today’s orchestral arrangements. He has stated several times in all of these videos, but especially this one and wave 6 that he usually prefers the simpler, MIDI versions and he gives his reasons why. But he also appreciates and usually likes the 8 Deluxe versions. You can agree or disagree with his reasons, but just to be fair to him, he mentions frequently that it is his opinion and he does explain why he comes to that conclusion.
The sound director for Mario Kart 8 is Kenta Nagata
Love this whole series! Music analysis is as fun as the game itself IMO
Love what you do!
(The foot tapping over the music was a little distracting though)
He's just enjoying it haha
didn't listen to the entirety of waluigi stadium, the last note is the wrong one and they completely removed the beginning section from the loop
What i gathered from Waluigi stadium is that From the GCN to 8Dlx they gave priority to the guitar and The tumtum tumtum tumtumtu. While in the GNc version is theother way around. Thats What i got 🤷🏽 im not that versed with music so i may or may not be right
Yeahhh I can’t wait
I really love what they did with the Yoshi Island theme one of my favorite courses from wave 4
Amsterdam drift is underrated.
Agreed
Great video dude
My favorite is easily Mario Circuit Ds MK8 music I just don't know how explain it but it music to my ears
Nice, was waiting for this one
I just noticed we have the same sony headphones
Yess another one of these. awesome!
Let's gooooo
DK Summit sounds ike a Sonic OST now :D
Waluigi Stadium being goofy fits his personality. He's such a cartoony anti-hero and Nintendo knows it. Probably why he'll never get his own game.
Where’s the love for the yoshi’s island Trumbone??
I was waiting for this video since wave 4’s announcement😭
I dont know which wins syndey sprint or singapore speedway
I've been waiting for this one!
Absolutely spitting with what you said about Bangkok Rush; normally I like what 8 Deluxe does with the Tour songs but I wasn't feeling this one.
Dude I thought you were right about the vocals thing with dk summit Amsterdam and LA but I was just listening to wild woods and I realized that one has vocals!
True!
First thing when the booster course tracks come out is see if you've uploaded a soundtrack reaction!
Just got out of school to see this.
*nice*
For me, Amsterdam Drift is my favorite. I already liked it in tour. but in mk8 it's not perfect, it's better than perfect
I only grew up with MK8 and MK8D no other Mario Kart
The toad in the thumbnail is so i lconic
This was a banger video.
