Every time the "Super Mario Kart" Title Theme leitmotif was used (SNES - Nintendo Switch)

This is every Mario Kart game which had the Super Mario Kart leitmotif in the Title Screen music. Enjoy!
Everything belongs to Nintendo.

[@tekateman6464]

MK64 Modified the leitmotif a bit. Then MK8 went all out and said, "Fuck it, we're going full retro"

[@__scrambled_egg_]

It also appears in Super Circuit briefly towards the end

[@scmtuk3662]

Actually, the whole tune is the leitmotif, just arranged so much, it's hard to hear it. It's a bit like the 8/DX version of Ribbon Road in that sense.

[@aidanmallon9879]

@@scmtuk3662 Yeah; the SMK influence is a bit easier to hear in the second half, as if seems to be based more directly off of SMK's theme tune

[@rookiebanks2693]

GC, 3DS, Wii U’s rendition of 64, and Switch’s rendition of 3DS.

[@redstonewarrior0152]

I have to say, MK8 seems to should that leitmotif the loudest and the proudest out of all the Mario Kart title themes. The MK8 title theme up and says "Hey! This is the most important part of the song!" and then they play a second loop of it!

[@MedAnimations]

hey there, found you here lol

[@MedAnimations]

I love how every entry didn't forget about the game started it a whole new genre of gaming

[@CuberBeats]

I’m nostalgic for Mario Kart Wii and all, but honestly, Mario Kart 7 and 8 did it the best. 7 took the MK64’s version of the leitmotif and just made it slap hard. And 8 took the SNES leitmotif and was like “You know what, JAZZ”.

[@scoutjasperwillow]

Apparently Japanese fusion music (which is what that is) is jazz plus rock combined, and has been associated with motor sport ever since formula 1 started airing over there, as it’s the style of the theme tune. Nice to know they incorporated it into the theme here

[@NothingGetsPastMyBow]

Yea 8 did it all

[@poyopoyo6227]

Retro Jazz

[@harenzaren]

Love this motif, it unifies each entry in a way.

[@tedgonzalez985]

I actually really liked what they did with 64-7, because you can hear that it's based on the original, but just different enough to become its own thing. But 8 bringing it back to that original sound was amazing too. Super Circuit actually does use it too, but it's stylized much more differently that it's harder to hear it, but it's definitely the same theme.

[@RWBYraikou888]

The leitmotif is also used in the Single Pak Multiplayer race music from Super Circuit.

[@tobennyandbeyond]

This video is how I learned of leitmotifs. I’ve been watchin’ this video nonstop over the past few weeks, it’s really nice ^U^

[@coolgaming3000]

aww, that’s so sweet leitmotifs are a great way of reinforcing nostalgia. Undertale uses a lot of leitmotifs in it’s music, which is likely what makes the game more memorable.

[@JointFury]

@@coolgaming3000 Undertale is such a great user of leitmotifs, Toby is just such a great composer.

I can’t underestimate how it absolutely blew my mind when I realized that all used the same leitmotif if there’s one thing Nintendo never doesn’t put their all in it’s the music

[@alexisvaldez1819]

I am truly a huge Mario Kart series fan!

[@user-ob6cm4ui6f]

It kinda of is in Super Circuit, it’s just the chord progression

[@RavioliMan08]

Funny how it's heard throughout the whole series except for super circuit

[@kirbytsukinoXD]

1:45 the best one

[@averagelifeofrocko6908]

Glad someone agreed

[@YoutubeCommonman_Totas]

Double Dash's title theme sounds like the tony hawk pro skater version of a Mario kart song

[@wunderwalze]

Seems like the entire comment section wants to play Mario kart together

[@ericwilson-ox6oi]

When it comes to nostalgia, MkDS and Wii has the best leitmotif

[@plushdude600]

I agree

[@mk8-mkwil117]

It funny how Nintendo slip in bits of the title screen in the staff credits from double dash to mk8&8 deluxe to where it barely noticeable.

[@BlueYoshi]

Super Circuit uses the SMK theme in single pak multiplayer (multiplayer with one cartridge) as the main race theme

niceee :)

[@JazzyWaffles]

It's also present in the full trailer theme for Mario Kart Tour, and the Super Circuit theme is a heavily altered version of the leitmotif (the chord progression remains the same, if I'm not mistaken).

[@Kalanken]

Actually tour has it in its reveal trailer theme and the mii suit waves trailers as well

[@xArcxia_07]

Ik Nintendo does, but I don't count Mario Kart Tour lmao.

[@Kalanken]

​@@xArcxia_07but it has it, there is no logical reason why you wouldn't count it

[@lemonadesnake]

@@Kalankenits more of a spinoff

[@Kalanken]

@@lemonadesnake it is more of a mainline game, has the same look as mainline games, usually listed with mainline games, has retro tracks from mainline games and a mainline game has retro tracks from it. Also nintendo considers mario run a mainline super mario game so tour should be considered one too

[@lemonadesnake]

tour looks like a really watered down and crappy 8 so i beg to differ, having "retro tracks" doesn't qualify for that, mario run is way closer to nsmb than tour is to traditional mario kart. traditional mario kart has a standardised system where there are a certain amount of cups and beating them unlocks the next one (not counting dlc). the unlockables are gameplay based and arent gacha game like, the regular games have way more skill and chaotic nature to them

[@CauaFriendsOficial]

Did you guys know that the entire MKSC title song is the leitmotif besides the opening?

[@dinkindane]

The motif was in Super Circuit too

[@BomberDuck]

It also appears in the Mario Kart Arcade GP DX menu theme

[@fire_eye]

Wdym?
