London Loop is the first city track in the dlc that makes you feel like you're *actually* driving through a giant city instead of a smaller scale diorama of a city
Yeah, I think so as well. New York Minute comes close simply by taking place at night, which immediately helps its sense of scale, but this track really nailed it. Both this and Berlin Byways really stand out from the (imo very bland) rest of the city tracks
Another example is Honeylune Ridge Caves,that song reminds me a lot of Final Egg Not complaining though,I dig this style of music and I hope it returns in future Mario games
As I played this map for the first time and listened to this music, I immediately fell in love with it. This is probably the first time in mario kart that they added the impossible, putting rock music in a mario kart game and I'm very happy with this
Back in 2017 for the Switch hype, Nintendo held a live rock concert alongside a live big band concert, and the rock concert had a Mario Kart 8 medley. The original Mario Kart 8 had rock music as well; see Bowser's Castle for instance. And that wasn't even the first time they implemented rock music in a Mario Kart game, it's been in the series for quite a while,
I did not expect London Loop to be this good, it might be the best song of the wave! But I need to listen to the music more to give a definitive ranking.
i know most people disagree, but this is my favorite song of the new wave, it's so fun to listen to, esspecially 0:36 which sounds like an anime opening. The track itself is still my least fav tho
They took one of the most earrape music from Mario Kart Tour that sounded horrible and loud to my favorite song from Wave 3. This song is the DS Shroom Ridge music of Wave 3. Words can not describe how I feel about this song.
Honestly might just be my favourite song n the whole game- the electric guitars when they reach their peak just send me- its electrifying!!! For once in my life, i'm proud to be a brit XD
Yeah the song is pretty good! I wouldn't call it one of my favorites, and I'll probably listen to some of the other songs a lot more, but I still really like it! And in terms of the course itself, definitely the second best city track besides Sydney Sprint, though Sydney Sprint is still significantly in the lead.

London Loop totally forgot the Gherkin and Piccadilly Circus. Also The o2
@@dmann5938 and the Shard I'm pretty sure
@@dmann5938 the gherkin is in the background
@@bendoesit1716 the shard is literally in the foreground how’d you miss it lol 😂
MK8 Band: We need to do a remix of London Loop. Is everyone ready?
The electric guitarist: [Lights guitar on fire] I’M SO F***ING READY
They call it the Rock Cup for a reason
as opposed to the ordinary accoustic guitarist?
Drummer: *[takes 5 extra cups of coffee]* DON’T FORGET ME!!!
Rock rock mountain
Why does every MK8DX BCP song upload with a prominent electric guitar have a comment like this lol
London loop is the Sydney sprint of wave 3, the previously average basic tour track turned into a masterpiece!
And Berlin Byways wasn't even average to begin with, and next wave we are getting Singapore Speedway, oh boy!
@@literallyafrog367 I'm pretty hyped about Singapore
I’ve been to London many times, and I can confirm that this is what London sounds like
i must be in the wrong part of london, all i got was drill music
Like British rock music!
I lived not far away from London my blood is full of British rock
@@George-zk4nvYep.
They improved this one by a mile. It's finally the rock music it was supposed to be!
It was already rock.
@@ThighFish Yeah, but not as good as it is now. Lol
@@BradfortBottlenose agreed!
I actually prefer the 00:50 part in the mario kart tour version
@@BradfortBottlenose I also didn't expect nintendo to go this hard on rock music. As a rock/metal fan, I adore this ost
They finally gave London Loop the glow-up it was begging for and I’m digging it!
Yep, London Loop was the surprise underdog of this wave. Had no hype for it, but hot damn did it deliver!
From one of my most hated soundtracks to one of my favorites in just ONE day its something i shall treasure forever
I agree
It's a freaking banger now.
Guitar MIDI tends to suck. London Loop needed the live treatment.
The power of live instruments and percussion
The Guitarist must’ve had the time of his life doing 0:35 😂
I would too honsetly
I play guitar so I might just learn that part (even though mine is an acoustic)
Mario and Sonic at the London 2022 Loop
Bro, it's Asteroid coaster act 1 from
sonic colors 💀
And i love it.
To me it sounds like Dead Zone Red Zone.
Sounds more like Sky Deck to me
Same, as a HUGE Sonic fan! 😁😄💙
This song is pretty damn fitting seeing as London is the birthplace of rock.
Plus it’s the first track in the Rock Cup
@@bendoesit1716pretty ironic how the rock cup has THREE amazing rock songs in it
London is absolutely not the birthplace of Rock lmao
Sounds more like Sonic Adventure music than a Mario song, not a bad thing at all tbh
Another example is Honeylune Ridge Caves,that song reminds me a lot of Final Egg
Not complaining though,I dig this style of music and I hope it returns in future Mario games
Oh, gosh, now that you mention it, IT DOES! 😳🤯🤯🤯
@@SonicGamerGirl2006name checks out
This and rock rock mountain holy shit
Well I mean, both Mario *AND* Sonic were in London
This song kinda reminds me of that one Minigame theme in Mario Party 8. I really love the way it sounds.
Finally someone who heard it as well. It totally sounds like that Mario Party 8 minigame.
Edit: It's called "It's a Dead Heat."
i thought i was the only person on the planet thinking this
Weirdly enough, I kinda got Asteroid Coaster vibes from the song.
Really reminds me of a track in Simpsons: Hit & Run aswell lol
It’s nice to see someone who also thought of the same thing
As I played this map for the first time and listened to this music, I immediately fell in love with it. This is probably the first time in mario kart that they added the impossible, putting rock music in a mario kart game and I'm very happy with this
Live GBA Bowser Castle and Rock Rock Mountain reaction: 🐴
Bro forgor 💀
wtf you talking about? rock music has been an element of the series since its very inception.
Back in 2017 for the Switch hype, Nintendo held a live rock concert alongside a live big band concert, and the rock concert had a Mario Kart 8 medley. The original Mario Kart 8 had rock music as well; see Bowser's Castle for instance.

MK8’s Bowser’s Castle: *_Am I a joke to you?_*
The instruments in this soundtrack
This map is based of a popular city in Englandd called London.
Electric Guitar
Drums
Piano keyboard
Bass guitar
Wow this new Xenoblade battle theme sounds great. Weird how they changed the title to Mumkhart 64 tho.
Dashiegame’s possible reaction to this killer soundtrack:
“DAMN!!! WHO WAS IN THE STUDIO?!?!?”
I can’t wait for his video on it tomorrow 😭
Oh man, I thought Mario Kart Tour's version was awesome, but what they've done here is almost perfection!
The most Sonic thing in Mario
I really like the guitar wail at 0:25
These guitar riffs are fire holy shit 🔥
0:35 is godly
I'm nearly home Jaff
Or as Albert Boris would say, Kingly
That's brilliant, but I love 0:25
@@Yuginkai12 - Yeah! That’s my fav too 🎸
Actually insane music to listen to.
I can confirm as a Brit that we listen to this regularly
As a Brit I can confirm that too!
Bri'sh twat here, what you're saying is facts
Wow the guitar rocks in mario Kart 8 deluxe for London loop race track
now this is music, i love UK based music, because i'm from there
The og felt generic, but this is beyond epic, the Rolling Stones would be proud.
You cannot convince me that they did not get Jun Senoue to work on this song
I ironically get Cars 2 vibes when racing here, which I like. Especially when using the Bullet Bill. Anyone else?
0:37 This is so good!
It sounds a bit like Splatoon
I did not expect London Loop to be this good, it might be the best song of the wave! But I need to listen to the music more to give a definitive ranking.
Berlin Byways have an awesome theme
@@donrenaichu5622 I honestly think I like this better than the Berlin Byways theme
@@TacoLogan08 Ok, i undersand, please enjoy
@@TacoLogan08 Ok, i undersand, please enjoy
Rock Rock mountain also slaps
I can't believe Berlin Byways isn't my favourite song in Wave 3 lol
Yo, Boris!
@@Doggie1999 Hey there!
Hello there Boris!
same, 0:13 hits different
i know most people disagree, but this is my favorite song of the new wave, it's so fun to listen to, esspecially 0:36 which sounds like an anime opening. The track itself is still my least fav tho

This music in 8 Deluxe sound better than Tours version
I see what you did Nintendo, putting London Loop and Alpine Pass in the Rock Cup.
king charles miis when i pelt them with blue shells
London Loop Sounds Like Something From Dragon Ball Z Budokai Games!
But Better!
And not plagiarized.
Rise up viewers from England 🏴
This song is perfect when you are driving in a Bentley Continental GT going 140 mph in London.
i would drive spaceship vroom vroom
0:37 timestamp for me
Very Jun Senoue-esque!
Do NOT compare Jun Senoue to the MK band
Songs that go way harder than they have to:
0:42 Yo, I didn’t know they brought Slash on to help with this song!
this goes the hardest in all the booster pack tour courses
0:37 best part when you put it at 1.25x speed so it's like the final lap.
This and rainbow road are my favorite remixes. They did them both absolute fucking Justice
Is it just me or does this kinda sound like asteroid coaster act 1 from sonic colors (More so Sonic Colors Ultimate)
You're not the only one! 😁💙
Reminds me of Billy Kane music in King Of Fighters 98.
0:24 this part gives me life
I remember having no expectations for this, I thought it could never beat the tour version but DAMN I WAS WRONG AND I'M GLAD I WAS 🎸🎸🎸
It doesn’t get better than 0:37
the guitars are drums sound soooo good, much better than the Tour version ahhh
0:35 to 0:50 is the guitar equivelant to Dolphin Shoals 0:44-1:25
this slaps
They went all out with the guitar.
This is the best song in the history of Mario Kart, NO-ONE CAN DISAGREE
I can
@@skulling4893 🧢
Apparently Nintendo has a loicense for rocking music, mate.
I get major finn mccmissile vibes from certain parts
Bro same my first time hearing I got Cars vibes
Splatoon 3 vibes
This was a godlike composition and I'm so happy they finally gave it a good arrangement cuz Tour's was so bad lol
…I like Tour’s arrangement… (not that this is worse or anything; it’s far better, actually)
How the heck was Tour's bad? I fail to see why.
@@goldenninja9053guitar midi and lack of punch from percussion
Sounds like something I would hear in Pixar’s Cars
I love this music , she is so nice
The queen would have loved listening to this
Why is every London track in a racing game backed with the hardest theme? It was the same in cars 2 and 3 the video game. Like got damn.
definitely a step in the right direction
One of the newer MK8D BGM screams Fighterz
Guitar sounds a lot better
Nah this ain’t London Loop, this is Southern Dad Loop
This looks like... Asteroid Coaster
Yo Jun Sunoe dis you?
*Senoue
Holy fu- this is GREAT 🤩
Who else kind of feels a Van Halen vibe going on here? No? Just me?...
Honestly might just be my favourite song n the whole game- the electric guitars when they reach their peak just send me- its electrifying!!! For once in my life, i'm proud to be a brit XD
Is anyone getting Asteroid Coaster vibes from this?
Yep! This sounds NOTHING like Mario music! 😵😵💫😵💫
Sonic Adventure (or Heroes)
Unpopular opinion, but this is my favourite city track mostly because the music is easily top 3 tracks in the game.
Love racing to this song....u can feel the adrenaline lol
Yeah the song is pretty good! I wouldn't call it one of my favorites, and I'll probably listen to some of the other songs a lot more, but I still really like it! And in terms of the course itself, definitely the second best city track besides Sydney Sprint, though Sydney Sprint is still significantly in the lead.
Now that I'm returning to this 7 months later: I take it back, this is now one of my favorites lol
8 AM is too early for a kart race
england is my city
and if it werent for mario kart....than this comment would be shitty
Reminds me of cars 2
Reminds me of cars in general
0:36-0:48 goes hard
This one kicks hard
I like this music. Wish it was in a better track.
very fitting that the country that invented heavy metal gets squealing electric guitars in their track
wow this music is amazing! i'm so glad england isn't actually real ❤
Jane is enjoying the day at Chessington
Just sayin'
Billy Kane for Mario Kart
Legit just sounds like spark the electric jester type stuff lol
Say what you want about Britain or the Brits, but one thing's for sure
*They know how to fucking ROCK*
Fasted like in the wild west
this is not what actual london feels like at all but whatever its a banger
I think it's more of a musical reference to rock's roots in London than sounding like the place
Let's Rock n' British🎸
Rare W for Britain
ILY BRO
So, does Nintendo ever copyright claim these videos? I can't imagine they'd care but I'm curious to know.
They claimed wave 1 but nothing else
ah
Damn, did HTT sub in for this game or what
This theme got me thinking positively about IRL England
