Because this section is so short, I like how much this remix pops compared to the original since it really feels good having this music fade in. Singapore Speedway is a masterpiece.
Maybe race on 50 cc for once if you don't ever do that. I had the same opinion when it came to the music for the winter version of the Animal Crossing track, so that was the only time I would play on 50 cc. (The music there felt very fitting for a 50 cc race too, btw.)
I'm convinced the track diverts into Chinatown on lap 3 _just_ so we can hear this part of the song one more time. It's a lot punchier than the _Tour_ version.
ALL these remixes clear the Tour version! SOme songs I litearlly mute my phone in Tour are some of my favorites in MK8. (LA Laps....prime example. I hate the singing in it but MK8 replaced the singing with some horn and made the base line more pronounced).
Small fun fact: The entrance gate to the Chinatown area says: "牛车水" (Pinyin: Niúchēshuǐ) which translates to "ox-cart water." First of all, this phrase uses simplified Chinese characters, which are common in Mainland China compared to the traditional Chinese characters used in Taiwan. Additionally, this phrase is a reference to how the Chinatown in Singapore had its water transported to it via ox carts.
The way they use countermelodies in this variation is jaw droppingly amazing. The instruments start in sync, then split off and do their own thing partway through, only for them to slowly come back together as it builds up to play the main melody again, neat stuff.
While I was playing online, I got to that exact part of the track (and therefore this song) on 150cc. Not impossible to do it on every speed, and that's good
The way this fades in when you enter this section is so clean and natural especially when you play on 100cc or 150cc and then that buildup happens right as you enter
@@TacoLogan08 I didnt even know about the music leak, even if I did tho I wouldn't care cuz I don't like looking at leaks and *like* to *actually* be *surprised*
This is what I expect from Nintendo! Love and effort in every detail, everywhere. Stellar job to everyone who worked on this, this is what we like to see!
I can’t help but feel that the original Tour version pulled off the Chinatown-specific instruments better even if I overall prefer the new version of the music in general Edit: this new version is kinda starting to grow on me
The original Tour version has an overall more quiet and mysterious feel to it with its instrument usage, focusing more on the traditional Chinese aspects of the area. The 8 Deluxe version on the other hand is very bold and ecstatic with its instrument usage, focusing more on the bustling atmosphere of the area.
I wonder why they even bother making the intro part of the music (0:00-0:14) if it’s impossible to hear that in game or get to that part of the map within 14 seconds..(unless it is somehow possible…)
the chorus feels very noisy (which is a staple of festive Chinese music but not sure if that's intentional?), as someone else said as well the B section has oddly brief notes on the Erhu, but honestly a much more alive than the Tour version. If the chorus was quietened down it'd be amazing. What's CRIMINAL is how on the standard variant's B section they changed the beautiful Pokemon Mystery Dungeon-esque watery keyboard notes to much rougher synth notes. Not that it sounds bad, but definitely not as good
this track made me hate the lightning item even more because lightning ruins the music (already very bad on this map) and sometimes it ruins the music for the ENTIRE Chinatown portion of the track >^

Singapore Speedway should hang in an art gallery imo
Sadly I only get shocked on that part of the track
@@fabienlass2503Same! Every time I try to listen to this I get shocked.
You never get to actually hear the whole thing while racing through it since it's so short 😭

@@KopsiDayzee22 50CC is not fun at all
@@Adam.L02 I know, but maybe it could be with hard COM players and the right items set?
Singapore speedway definitely had the best glow up in music holy hell
Peach gardens I’d argue. Like the main Singapore Speedway theme got its best feature (the vocals) from Tour.
@@veebot75 peach gardens was the weakest of that wave
@@goalhornstudios8426 even music wise? Cause that’s what I’m referring to.
@@veebot75 I was referring to the music yes, the track itself is fine
I disagree. It’s one of the biggest downgrades in music. The Chinatown version was upgraded in 8 deluxe but the normal version was downgraded.
I'm convinced the track diverts into Chinatown on lap 3 _just_ so we can hear this part of the song one more time. It's a lot punchier than the _Tour_ version.
It's also for the final lap song too.

thanks mr obvious
Thank you for the fun fact my friend!
@@chocokarina so obvious ik absolutely everyone in the world knows chinese
@Luna "obvious"
dude I don't know a single word of Chinese
might ne obvious for you but not us
-1000000 social credit for mentioning Taiwan/j
このチャイナタウンのアレンジめちゃくちゃ良い！
特に0:28〜0:44が大好き

When playing on 50cc, the song is timed perfectly when entering the chinatown area. If you drive well enough, the song will start at 1:00

Man, the remix is perfect, it surpassed my hopes by a mile, one of the best songs and tracks in all of Mario kart 8 Deluxe
I prefer the original, but I do love this version

The fact that Singapore Speedway has 2 variations that are perfect proves its music is top tier.
It's amazing, I thought they weren't going to add it.
Even though it was in the music leak?
@@TacoLogan08 not all people want to look up the music leak
@@jclkaytwo that's true I guess
@@TacoLogan08 I didnt even know about the music leak, even if I did tho I wouldn't care cuz I don't like looking at leaks and *like* to *actually* be *surprised*
I have listened to the music leak so many times that listening to this complete song is a satisfying experience.
Ok, the regular Singapore Speedway remix I thought was godtier BUT THIS IS ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!! MY GOD!!
0:14 this is awesome! At least I bought the booster course pass so I won’t miss the fun!
This is what I expect from Nintendo! Love and effort in every detail, everywhere. Stellar job to everyone who worked on this, this is what we like to see!
+1000 credit score
No credit score. Come live in Canada where there are no communist’s except for liberal wannabe communists like Trudeau
+1000 Hina Points
I don’t think they do that in Singapore lol 😂
@@VancouverVelocityFan the social credit system is a hoax anyway.
I didn't even know the music changes when you are in that little portion of the track lol
The amount of effort put into a section you spend a few seconds in is amazing, one of, if not the best song in MK8

Friendship with Chinatown (tour version) ended
This part hits hard 0:43
I wish Vancouver had this too.
Underrated
I love the soundtrack! I like the Chinese part!!
THIS IS THE HARDEST BUILDUP EVER DANGG ESPECIALLY AFTER THE FIRST LOOP-OVER DANGGG
We making it to konami with this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yie Ar Kung-Fu this suckah!
I only hear 0:54 of this song because i always enter the chinatown at that moment
Both Dragon Driftway & Singapore Speedway's Chinatown has a lot more depth to it
Its mario kart time
0:13
I wonder why they even bother making the intro part of the music (0:00-0:14) if it’s impossible to hear that in game or get to that part of the map within 14 seconds..(unless it is somehow possible…)
I think it's because mariokart 8 music is recorded live so they have too
This one is the superior version
Agreed
I love Singapore ❤🇸🇬
Singapore Speedway sounds like Wii Sports music
Bababoi
This sounds like a Sticker Star boss theme

It’s sounds exactly the same from the file leak
Feels quite noisy and the B part has really short notes, but I love the the extra notes in the quiet parts.
Hey TZ! When do you think you can get the google drive ready with these new OSTs? Thanks in advance!
Yeah it was better in tour but the return segment (that part when it goes a bit more chill) is still a banger
again :)
I prefer the original one
this track made me hate the lightning item even more because lightning ruins the music (already very bad on this map) and sometimes it ruins the music for the ENTIRE Chinatown portion of the track >^
bro they messed it up, it was such a banger in tour but this is just noooo....
how
You're just wrong
@@theniceboy727 hear me out :(
It just sounds really weird, I had high hopes for this remix
@@NoScopeDeezCups I don’t agree with you, but to be honest we all have unique tastes of music so I respect your opinion
Nah, you gotta be capping lmao
