@@ashrithreddy5967it doesn’t matter! It’s neat that Nintendo took the time to code this in like, say, the item roulette and custom lap 2 sfx in Waluigi Pinball
Can't help laughing out hard with the execution due how the falling gets so instantly cut off by Lakitu - like in a "Nope, we're not doing this crap again"-fashion.
I’m really glad this track has 3 laps instead of being a section track. This track feels like the perfect finale to not just the BCP but the entire game.
Yes 3 laps again like Wii, unlike Tour I think the reason was in Tour it would have felt too long even though 2 laps would have worked throughout and this is now the longest track with 3 laps in Mario Kart deluxe.
It's amazing how they even went out of their way to give this track a unique animation when you fall off the course to replicate how it was in Wii, they pulled no stops for this, the music, the visuals and the chaos are as good as ever, absolute top tier remake
Bro if Nintendo’s Mario kart 9 had fucking every character from the older games and every single track, they should name it Mario Kart Ultimate like super smash bros ultimate
@@mariobroultimate1808 lol yeah Smash Ultimate had like 15 new stages or something including DLC, but I did mean more than just all the old tracks and like A LOT of new ones but that’s probably out of their pay grade

@@ashtonb561 You do know that not everyone WANTS to curse, right? I choose not to Like, I don’t really care if others swear, but I’m not gonna do it myself
Wow, just beautiful. This is the most faithful arrangement in Mario Kart's history. It is so cheerful and loud with the bells and live brass. It is so beautiful and good. We waited 2 years for this, and i have to say. It was worth it. Nintendo understood the assignment. It just perfect.
I agree. Personally I've been playing this on 200cc and when it lines up perfectly with the second lap or when you descend the first slope in the new lap, there is no greater feeling.
I've played this track so much that I've noticed that they made the music sync up to whatever action you're doing in the track itself. I don't know if this was intentional, but a lot of the time, I swear, the track dances to the beat of the music and it's stunning, really.
Same here, and I’m not even that emotional. All those hours sunk into MKWii, trying to unlock every single character (yes, even Mii Outfit B), I miss those times.
Me and my big brother would spend several hours playing mariokart wii.sometimes with other members of my family. Those were probably the best hours I spent with him bonding. He's in college now, and i have to play this by myself. I miss him. And the time we spent with each other. One thing I did not miss is when he would always quit the game before I beat him. We laugh about that now.
Wii Rainbow Road brings out every emotion in me. Mostly anguish, with the Good Egg/Mario Galaxy references giving me sheer joy. I was barely able to play on this track at release because I was crying so hard.
@@jdmathews312Its a cool track, but I don't think it would work to the effect Wii Rainbow Road does here, and no its not because I'm biased against it. When I was watching a race on the track I noticed that it didn't naturally have a lot of the features that MK8 has in it to show it off as the magnum opus. With Wii Rainbow Road the jump pads have a cool section, the wave floor has a cool section, lots of boost sections, etc. It mostly checks off all the boxes for stuff MK8 was known for in one track, which for the last track is important. With the GCN track I would love to see it as the Lightning Cup rainbow road one day, because I feel like I honestly would have rather had the GCN Rainbow Road over some of the ones we did get.
Knowing this game has reached the final lap of 9 years, makes me actually cry, Mario Kart 8 was the first game to introduce me to the franchise, and thus marked a journey, so long Mario Kart 8 2014-2023
As I was playing the track and listening to this song, all I could think was "Wow...this is it. The true finale of Mario Kart 8." Absolutely amazing sendoff to this decade-long journey.
April 10th, 2008: Mario Kart Wii released with the most memorable Rainbow Road to date... 15 years later, the legacy returns and us after more than a decade can revisit our beloved childhood with enhanced graphics... *Thank you Nintendo for sending off Mario Kart the correct way...*
This song brings tears to my eyes. I got the Nintendo Wii for my birthday in 2011, and although I got the Wii U a year later I still mostly played Wii games on it. My cousins would come to my house every weekend between 2013-2015 and would spend hours and hours on this game, even dad joined in occasionally… I even got Mario Kart 8 day one, that’s how much we all loved Mario Kart, it was the best time of my life. Now they’re adults with jobs and have no interest in me whatsoever, and when I rarely see them they don’t even greet me, it’s like they don’t remember the times I cherish so much. I’m almost a adult now and my life is getting worse, my dad is very ill and we never spend time together, my parents are always fighting… I have no friends and suffer with anxiety. I’m not looking for sympathy or anything but please spend as much time possible with the loved ones around you, nothing stays the same forever.
Damn hopefully you do better I recently lost my grandfather and he was the one who introduced me to Mario kart and subsequently Wii rainbow road and to see this track again after many years and a few months after losing him felt like a gift from him wherever he may be now. I cried when I played this track again and I don’t really cry. Nintendo really hit the remake out of the park and I’m so glad this dlc was out and giving me content in this horrible part of my life
Damn man. That hits hard. Hopefully everything gets better tho. I’d be down to exchange switch codes and we could potentially play together sometime. I usually only play with my friends and stuff because my family doesn’t play MK anymore too 🤣
they are the best times man. I got a Wii because of Mario Kart in 2010, played it all the way up until 2015 before the Wii stopped working, and now as an adult I'm the only one still interested in video games. Stay positive man, things will work out for you
In my opinion, none of the Wii tracks in this game were bad. They were all good, but some were done better than others and this was by far the best Wii track they've remade
@@Starvaze I don't think luigi circuit will ever come back as its a very basic design like toad circuit and the mario kart stadium/mario circuit tracks. I think the most likely one to come back will be toads factory
@@waughy9103 let this sink in Toad circuit. Came back, not once. But twice (no effence to mk7 veterans) but that track was even more basic. So in terms like these. It’s a 50/50 (If Mario kart X (10 in Roman) ever gets made)
Yes long time and after Tour, we get to play in Tour again Rainbow Road next year in repeated Space and Ninja Tours but only appeared two times in Tour at least here we can play anytime in Deluxe as many times as we can.
Just want to personally thank you TZ Gaming for your efforts in preserving the BCP music for this game. It's been an honor to listen to these bangers since before Wave 1's release 🙏. See you around when Mario Kart 9 approaches...
@@adora_was_taken Oh absolutely. The only other name I would accept is if they go back to the days of Super Circuit and Double Dash and give it a unique name.
i was so happy to see they kept the sound effect for the cannon and even being on fire when falling off. playing this seriously made me tear up! easily my favorite track from the wave!
It makes me happy to see this track back from my childhood. I don’t even play Mario Kart 8 cause I don’t own a switch but I followed the Booster Course Pass like somebody who would own one. And the animation they have when you fall? Nintendo at its best. Just Amazing!!!!!!!
New best song in the game. My favourite Mario Kart song of all time. The emotions are in a whole other level! 🥹 Thank you Mario Kart 8 for nearly a decade of racing memories!
When i first played it, i played horribly on purpose to experience my childhood again, and i didn't expect the meteor effect from the original version to make a comeback.
Nearly a decade worth of content for this game 96 tracks 48 playable characters MKWii’s Rainbow Road feels like the perfect send-off for this game Thank you Nintendo for everything you’ve done for this game. It may not be perfect but god damn has it been one hell of a ride
It’s actually 50 playable characters. Inkling Boy and Villager Girl aren’t alts, they’re still separate characters as they’ve still got different emblems
I love the build up at 0:36 and then the music just has this insane melody around 0:47. God what a way to end off the course pass The absolute bliss I feel listening to this theme after racing on this course many years ago. Thank you, Nintendo.
Playing this track for the first time just made me smile. Wii was my first Mario Kart game, and the nostalgia hit me like a freight train. They even went as far as to include the fire effect when you fall off the course. What a send-off to a DLC that, while it had a bit of a rough start, ended up just getting better and better as it went on. Thank you for being such a great game, Mario Kart 8.
My absolute favorite Mario kart track ever, brought back in the best way possible. To end an excellent era of Mario kart. Thank you, Nintendo, for one heck of a ride!
@@tonialcala1793 It has a leitmotif of good egg galaxy and star bits floating around it, which I'm pretty sure are only there upon getting Rosalina. MKWii was her debut into mario kart. It's about as SMG as it gets for a rainbow road
I love the key change up, but I love it even more when it goes back down at 1:08. The brass section really makes it a beautiful and satisfying transition
Man, Nintendo _really_ wanted to send this entire DLC off with a bang. We have a full 3 laps, combusting into flames when you fall, and most importantly... _Everything not present in Tour made its way back._
For this to be the very last track on the very last part of the dlc, this song just never fails to hit so unbelievably hard with a symphony playing as you get hit with 12000 red shells and shocks. I must say Nintendo, you never fail to disappoint with your music and reviving my childhood☺️☺️
Everyone knew this was going to be the very last track since the leaks first came out, and still it's never been so satisfying to see it end like this.
I was so excited when I heard the Wii Rainbow Road soundtrack in the trailer! And Wii Rainbow Road was the first rainbow road I've ever known. And my goodness, does this legendary song always give me the chills! Incredible track with an incredible song!
I’m about ready to cry because Mario kart Wii is the first game I ever played and hearing this it takes me back to my childhood I would do anything to get those days back 😢
Whoever says that the original OST of this track is better, I'm sorry but you're just objectively wrong. This is a perfect remix of an already great piece of music which added the "oomph" that the original was missing. Probably one of the best soundtrack reworks in the entire game.
This might sound weird, but I didn't grow up on Wii, but I still played it before. I was actually born around the same time Wii came out. I grew up with the freaking 3DS game. But I can still see why people love Wii: it hac charm, it was iconic, and great music. This is the best track of all time for me now, experiencing this again. Love how there's 5 freaking rainbow roads now.
This lowkey got me choked up, i don't even have mario kart 8 but the fact that they remade my childhood rainbow road makes me so happy on so many levels
My childhood track is back with a brand new spunk, it's so great to see it once again. And my God did Nintendo just perfect this version. Thanks for bringing back old memories, and giving me new ones Nintendo
I was crying when i was playing this one for the first time in years today. The music, the amazing layout, the sound effects,... this may overtake mk7 rainbow road as my favorite track ngl.
While not my favourite track, heck even favourite Rainbow Road, this is the track I have the most nostalgia for. Playing it and seeing how much love was put into this makes me happy, heck you even burst into flames when falling off. A small detail they coulda missed but keeping it makes this even better. Perfect way to end an era.

Well at least it’s time for Mario Kart 9
The racing isnt over! It only just begun!
There is no greater feeling than when 0:47 lines up perfectly after you land from the cannon.
I agree. Personally I've been playing this on 200cc and when it lines up perfectly with the second lap or when you descend the first slope in the new lap, there is no greater feeling.

I cried when I fell off the map and the meteor effect played. Shows how much they care 🥲
I had never even noticed the the SMG reference in the original track, this version brings it out a lot more and it's AWESOME
Actually I can hear the Luma theme from SMG in this particularly in 0:15-0:17 and 0:24-0:29
This course honestly feels like a better finale to Mario Kart 8 than 8's own Rainbow Road was.
Honest to God, that's how I feel.
MK8 has a cool and fun rainbow road, but yeah Wii and 7’s were better. Glad to have so many to choose from now, though 😂
Ngl I always considered mk64 rainbow road remake to be the final one lol
8 Rainbow Road is okay imo, but SNES, 64, 7 and Wii's completely demolish it
Rainbow Road didn't end things off in Wii U MK8, N64 Rainbow Road did.
Until the Wii U DLC, that is.
The Good Egg Galaxy motif will always kick a tear out of my eye sockets. Too good man…
The only course worthy of closing out such an amazing game, thank you Nintendo!

The music team knew they had to get this one right and holy hecc they didn't disappoint.
A perfect 1-to-1 remix of the song. Nothing lost, and everything gained. Dare I say this is the best remix in the entire Booster Course Pass.
Poetic that the first retro in MK8 was a Wii track, and the last retro is also a Wii track
They even referenced the atmospheric re-entry if you fall off the track. Amazing!
It’s also a callback to the original version that also did that
this hits harder than a blue shell right before the finish line
Misty eyed through the entire track, never thought I’d see the day where the rainbow road I grew up with gets remastered.

@@tonialcala1793 It has a leitmotif of good egg galaxy and star bits floating around it, which I'm pretty sure are only there upon getting Rosalina. MKWii was her debut into mario kart. It's about as SMG as it gets for a rainbow road
actually started crying once the music kicked in😭😭 they did this track so much justice
Wii Rainbow Road in Wii:
“I hate this track!”
Wii Rainbow Road in 8:
“I love this track!”
Lmao
I love the key change up, but I love it even more when it goes back down at 1:08. The brass section really makes it a beautiful and satisfying transition
The way shed a tear from nostalgia first playing this track
締め括りのコースやから、めちゃくちゃ気合い入ってる。コースにもbgmにも、雰囲気の明るさと華がより強調されて、あの時から進化して舞い戻ってきましたって感じがする。
0:47 This part is literal perfection
It was all that I needed to shed a tear.

Man, Nintendo _really_ wanted to send this entire DLC off with a bang.
We have a full 3 laps, combusting into flames when you fall, and most importantly... _Everything not present in Tour made its way back._
the revamp is absolutely beautiful. they really did this track justice. has been, and always will be, my favorite course 🌈✨
For this to be the very last track on the very last part of the dlc, this song just never fails to hit so unbelievably hard with a symphony playing as you get hit with 12000 red shells and shocks. I must say Nintendo, you never fail to disappoint with your music and reviving my childhood☺️☺️
Oh man, the nostalgia! Mario Kart Wii was THE Mario Kart game. You had to be there! 🥹
The nostalgia from the MK Wii days hits like a train.
I love how they made the Good Egg Galaxy motif more pronounced and noticeable in this rendition. So long, Mario Kart 8, it's been a fun ride
It's finally back! What an amazing track to send of the dlc :)
What a way to end the Booster Course Pass, with the best rainbow road in the Mario kart series
THIS is how you end off the BCP. The track that fills players with rage, fun, skill, and nostalgia!
It’s so beautiful… nostalgia hits like a truck sometimes.
Everyone knew this was going to be the very last track since the leaks first came out, and still it's never been so satisfying to see it end like this.
I was so excited when I heard the Wii Rainbow Road soundtrack in the trailer! And Wii Rainbow Road was the first rainbow road I've ever known. And my goodness, does this legendary song always give me the chills! Incredible track with an incredible song!
i feel old
I’m so glad that this is 3 laps instead of 1 lap like in Mario Kart Tour.
This is how I wanted 3DS Rainbow Road to sound 😭
So magical and beautiful just like a star 🌟
3DS Rainbow Road remix is a banger. Even better than this. I don't care what anyone says. 3DS Rainbow Road will always be my favourite.
@@SuperMarioPierce nah I'm not sure about that.
The OG 3ds rainbow road was better
Discovering the cut on the half pipe completely on accident will probably go down as one of my favorite moments in my entire Mario Kart 8 career.
0:29 always sends chills down my spine
0:47 wants to have a word with you
@@whitelock1258it’s not the same as 0:29
@@agentmanface6255 Okay, not going to lie 0:47 doesn't bit harsh without 0:29
I’m about ready to cry because Mario kart Wii is the first game I ever played and hearing this it takes me back to my childhood I would do anything to get those days back 😢
And just like that
Mario Kart 8 can finally rest
What a journey
Love how the backing track is more obvious now!
actually started crying, god I miss being a kid playing my Wii
They really did it man. They even had the flames when you feel
This track got the most love out of the entire BCP, and it's well deserved
Seeing this course in the pass was inevitable but it’s like seeing an old friend. A perfect track to end the DLC here’s to 9 years of Mario Kart 8
Whoever says that the original OST of this track is better, I'm sorry but you're just objectively wrong. This is a perfect remix of an already great piece of music which added the "oomph" that the original was missing. Probably one of the best soundtrack reworks in the entire game.
For sure. Original was already great, but this is even better. The strings are absolutely fantastic
This might sound weird, but I didn't grow up on Wii, but I still played it before. I was actually born around the same time Wii came out. I grew up with the freaking 3DS game. But I can still see why people love Wii: it hac charm, it was iconic, and great music. This is the best track of all time for me now, experiencing this again. Love how there's 5 freaking rainbow roads now.
This lowkey got me choked up, i don't even have mario kart 8 but the fact that they remade my childhood rainbow road makes me so happy on so many levels
My childhood track is back with a brand new spunk, it's so great to see it once again. And my God did Nintendo just perfect this version. Thanks for bringing back old memories, and giving me new ones Nintendo
Beautiful. I had played Mario Kart before, but Wii was the one that made me a fan.
This track was basically the final send off to MK8. What a journey it’s been…
I was crying when i was playing this one for the first time in years today. The music, the amazing layout, the sound effects,... this may overtake mk7 rainbow road as my favorite track ngl.
We knew this track was on the way, yet this is a dream come true just listening to this...
This song while still sounding like the original, it adds the Mario Kart 8 flavor with its instrument replacements
This is the perfect finale for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass and Mario Kart 8 as a whole. It feels so bittersweet.
The perfect finale for mk8 deluxe
Edit: I remember when I got this game way back and seeing it evolve into this 6 years later is just so awesome
WE FLYING OFF THE TRACKS WITH THIS ONE 🗣️💯🔥🔥
Love how they remade the first 2 Rainbow Roads in the original MK8 and now in the BCP the last 2 Rainbow Roads
Thanks for playing everyone, this has been a amazing journey that the whole Mario Kart community can experience!
While not my favourite track, heck even favourite Rainbow Road, this is the track I have the most nostalgia for. Playing it and seeing how much love was put into this makes me happy, heck you even burst into flames when falling off. A small detail they coulda missed but keeping it makes this even better.
Perfect way to end an era.
