Frappe Snowland (SECAM Version) - Mario Kart 64

[@SuperNintendoGameboy]

When you think about it, this is technically a Christmas song because the rainy season happens during December in some parts of Africa

[@MettanAtem]

Snow is basically frozen rain.

In Straight No Chaser's 12 Days of Christmas medley, they mix Africa into it as well. Recommend.

I happen to be traveling to Africa this Christmas, and let me tell you, it is anything BUT a Frappe Snowland (SECAM Version) - Mario Kart 64

[@juiceDpunk983]

I bless the snow down in The mushroom kingdom

Joke: this is a Christmas rip because Africa by Toto was the final punchline in the Straight No Chaser version of Twelve Days of Christmas.

Africa, but snowy. Imagine the Kalamari Desert stage with the Africa music.

If this is a Straight No Chaser reference, beautiful.

[@TheLohoped]

Clever use of SECAM title.

[@ForceMaximus84]

Please explain.

[@TheLohoped]

SECAM was a color television standard developed in France. A lot of former French colonies on the African continent (a significant chunk of territory) inherited it and continued to use it instead of a more popular PAL standard. @@ForceMaximus84

[@Game_Hero]

@@ForceMaximus84 SECAM is a type of video transmission, like PAL or NTSC, originating in France. And, would you guess it, it's mostly used in Africa (and the ex-USSR).

[@ForceMaximus84]

@@Game_Hero Oh, Ok. I’m familiar with NTSC and PAL, but not SECAM. Thanks!

[@RandomPlayer02]

[@blockeontheleafeon]

If I had a Nickle for the number of Mario games on the N64 that had "Africa - Toto" as the joke, I'd have three Nickels. Two if you don't count identical Rips. This isn't a lot but it's weird that this happened more than once.

[@connordarvall8482]

I blessed the snow in Africa, but I forgot to check if anyone lived on Mt. Kilimanjaro.

[@lewatoaofair2522]

Well, roughly half of African countries (particularly ex-French colonies) are in the SECAM region.

[@Abonkit]

I come from a land down under
Where mushrooms flow and men chunder

Funny, this didn't strike me as an African course...
Eh, whatever. I don't mind either way.

[@guyuser81]

But…It’s Africa.

[@greg2kdotcom]

Africa -> French colonies -> France -> SECAM
Brilliant 👏🏻

[@Game_Hero]

They still use SECAM, don't they?

[@greg2kdotcom]

@@Game_Hero highly doubt it. France moved on to digital tv a long time ago, and I'm betting all broadcasts are now in PAL. Surely some converter boxes still output SECAM though
