Fun Fact: The instrument that plays at 0:29 is called an EWI (pronounced Ee-wee). Think of it as a synthesizer fused with a clarinet/sax (depending on the model).
I was in Vancouver when this track release, I asked my family to take me to all the different landmarks, like the steamclock, the hockey stadium, and the Capolano Suspension Bridge. I had a great time
@@BK2410 _Mario Kart 8 Deluxe_ DLC remasters courses, but those said courses uses _Mario Kart Tour's_ files and assets from and basically dumps them here while porting them instead of recreating them from scratch like _Mario Kart 8's_ (original 2014 Wii U version) DLC did, and in their own style and mechanics. Not only that, but in almost every _Deluxe_ DLC, you'll see they almost look a little flattened (noticeable in *Wii Maple Treeway,* *3DS Rainbow Road* and etc.) just like in _Tour._ Only change for _Deluxe_ is that they change up the lighting and texture to make them look sharper than _8_ and _Tour_ to add realism. It's real, but doesn't match _8's_ style to it, since it uses _Tour's_ assets for the most part. Like *3DS Rock Rock Mountain.* As for the anti-gravity mechanics (Which is what _Mario Kart 8/Deluxe_ is known for), they add some a bit here and there in _Deluxe's_ DLC, but not as much as _8_ did with its own DLC. And that's about it
@@GalaxyZeakwon to be fair BCP uses Anti Gravity nearly as much as base 8DX, they barely used it in courses at all in base 8, and heck the tracks in which they forced it are completely ruined while in the BCP anti-gravity at least feels fitting wherever they utilised it
I knew this day would come. Years again, i thought this was the best music in the mario Kart tour, and was quite sad that it would never return with a live recorded version. Until the Dlc announced, the music leak happened, and waited 2 years to finally hear this song. I knew, and i mean, i knew they wouldn't mess this one. To my surprised i never thought it would sound this unreal. It truly a crazy ride we Tour fans have been on, but im glad it is finally over. We can rest easy now that the best Tour track and the top ten Mario Kart music were done justice.
That weird ass instrument sax vocaloid thingy at 0:28 is literally the best thing that could've been added to this song. Like, what a brilliant addition!
I still need to get used to it, but I think it will eventually. Same thing happened with me for the Singapore Speedway synth solo, I didn't like the instrument change at first but it grew on me.
Unlike other tour tracks, this one is actually somewhat cool for once. It’s not just a basic looking city track that is just a concrete mess of beige buildings like the others
I feel like this is the tour city track every one was waiting for, and tbh it’s the best one. No other city track has put a smile on my face quite like this one. That bridge section is just gorgeous!!
As a Canadian I always feel so much pressure to do well on Vancouver when it gets picked. So glad to have Canadian representation in the best racing game of all time finally.
I have seen a lot of people saying that this is a really disappointing wave. But I'm glad that we finally got Vancouver Velocity. Along with Singapore Speedway they're the Tour Tracks that i was most excited to play. And it's stupendous ✨ 🇨🇦🍁
Not really a bad wave, is better than wave 1, but wave 2, 3 and 4 was a lot better. For example, Sidney sprint, London Loop and Singapore Speedway felt much better than Vancover Velocity.
I'm genuinely confused as to why people are overwhelmed by this wave? It's not better than wave 4 but surpasses every other wave quite easily. Returning tracks like Moonview Highway and Daisy Cruiser are absolute bangers, all of the tour tracks are fantastic this time around, and the original track Squeaky Clean Sprint is just fabulous! Even if Wave 4 had higher highs, Wave 5 is wayyyy more consistent with its quality.
Literally the tour that made me comeback to MKT after only playing at debut for like one week. Awesome looking track, perfect score and one of if not the best alt ever. Sign me the f up
Ever since I first played it in Mario Kart Tour, I knew this track was going to hit hard if it made it to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe...and it did, in every way! Definitely the best track based on a city, and one of the best tracks in the franchise!
Man this part of this soundtrack sounded like Sonic CD to me or a type of 2D Sonic game. I'm glad this course makes it in. They really did a numbered of the graphics and the violins for the music. So awesome. Marking this as my favorite track! 0:29.🎻
Okay, I thought people were just hyping this track's music up for nothing, but I waited and listened. And damn, is this good! I can finally see why so many Tour players love it so much!
this is definitely my favorite wave aside from sunset. these tracks are extremely fun and my favorite versions of all the retros, especially koopa cape.
Just glad that the sound leak version for this track wasn’t accurate because my god, this here is sheer perfection. It doesn’t stray too much from the original but still sounds more better ❤️
Never once heard the song to its fullest until I played the track in Wave 5 tonight. I purposely never heard the tune because I heard from a lot of people that it’s really really good and god damn they weren’t kidding. I got goosebumps as soon as the intro lead into the main part of the tune during my first race. Makes Vancouver feel so mystical and fits the winter frontier vibe excellently. Might rival Sydney, Singapore, and Athens as the best Tour theme.
Amazing wave (besides Sun- Wilds) and unbelievable how all the songs in this wave are just soooo amazing!! The fact they even managed to improve this one soooo much is incredable! I thought it was perfect already
While it was always gonna be hard to change perfection, this version still does a good job in keeping what made the original aspects of the song really good while also giving it more of a funky vibe.

To be honest, Nintendo didn't really have to go hard on making this banger remix. I'm also glad that I can race on Vancouver Velocity at anytime in 8 Deluxe without waiting for this track to appear in the future Tours in Tour. I could say the same thing with Merry Mountain since it's a December Exclusive tracks in Tour.
Good to see that the Tour tracks are being archived in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, so that when the servers for Mario Kart Tour shut down, we will still have a way to play them. Here's hoping they will incorporate backwards and remixed tracks in future mainline Mario Kart games!
The bangers of Mario Kart Tour Tracks in the Booster Course Pass Wave 1 - Ninja Hideaway Wave 2 - Sydney Sprint Wave 3 - Berlin Byways Wave 4 - Singapore Speedway Wave 5 - Vancouver Velocity Let's hope that mobMD or Madrid have a better bopping soundtrack than Rome Avanti.
Everytime I play on this track, I cannot unhear Runblebee shouting "MARIO AND SONIC AT THE OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES!" And I wouldn't have it any other way.
I was waiting the day this released in Deluxe cause I knew already this had such a banger sound track in Mario Kart Tour, AND IT’S HERE IN DELUXE AND IT’S SO GOOD!
This track and it's music are so beautiful, gotta be my favourite tour track If they added in more of the echo n reverb from the original version of the song at 0:29, it would be perfect
I've played though all the Tour tracks that came into the Booster Course Pass. As a being who enjoys all the waves. I gotta say this song right here out of the city tracks from tour that ended up here. This is my number 1. Actually more like tied with Signapore and Sydney. But I'm losing track. This is a beautiful song to listen to just to chill, relax, and just enjoy the long drive ahead. 100/10.

Facts
kid named couver veloslapy:
That first lap? Holy freak. That bridge section felt so natural as an antigravity section… easily the best use of it in the entire DLC
Even though the last lap was lackluster, it's still a great course nonetheless.
The way the music at 0:28 mixes in to you entering the bridge section feels so magical every time
@@kirbo22exactly I’m so glad someone else mentioned that, also 0:59 driving past the water with the leaves falling is just as amazing too!
@@PixelShiftssI think this song is just equal with Singapore Speedway and Madrid Drive for being my favorite Tour track theme.
If lap one was shifted to lap 3 with the others in the same order this would be the best city track
I think this is one of the greatest Mario Kart track songs ever.
BANGCOUVER VELOSLAPY
Without QUESTION! There's the Peak, then there's Rainbow Road....and then you look up and see Vancouver Velocity!
I’d have to agree out of the newer songs just playing on the track and hearing this just flows so well
yeah,you can say that again
Especially the Tour Version. Perfection at its best
Fun Fact: The instrument that plays at 0:29 is called an EWI (pronounced Ee-wee). Think of it as a synthesizer fused with a clarinet/sax (depending on the model).
Thanks! I didn't know what to even call that sound at 0:29
Now I know!
Super helpful information. Thanks!
Huh maybe that’s why I confused that part for a Saxophone.
Or maybe my ears are just messed up.
It sounded more like a keytar to me, since an EWI has a more airy sound, but I could be wrong
thanks for the tip :)
I was in Vancouver when this track release, I asked my family to take me to all the different landmarks, like the steamclock, the hockey stadium, and the Capolano Suspension Bridge. I had a great time

I'm from Canada. The other Tour tracks are aesthetically gorgeous, but it's neat finally having a course with landmarks I've seen with my own eyes.
It was so cool pointing out everything on the track, they even have the Gastown steam clock!

I’m free!
0:57 gives me goosebumps, it sounds so nice. Although some dislike tour tracks ending a cup, this one is too good to be a cup starter.
