Me & other people of Caribbean background will tell you "Wha gwann bredren! A big chune dis'!!". This is the Caribbean soca sound masterfully remixed into a Mario Kart track. The percussion, the steel drums & everything is on point. The trucks with the mega speakers would blast this during Carnival. It would be an instant party, jammin' in the streets. Once this Covid-19 mess is done with & the islands resume their Carnival celebrations, I suggest you come down & party because the Caribbean women will love you for stuff like this. Productions like this, you would draw the attention of a lot of artists. You would be welcomed as family, trust me.

[@Iceferno]

What a heartwarming comment! I'll have to see if I can make it down there one of these days.

[@liam2503]

@@Iceferno As a Caribbean islander myself (from Trinidad the birthplace of the Steel Pans a.k.a. Steel Drums), I can surely say you have indeed mastered the "Soca" vibe with this piece. Everything from the typical Soca drum beat to the accented motifs, really make your remix what we would call "big tune" (lively song) haha! Awesome work, especially with those rolls (trills) of the Steel Pans. Most times, electronic replications sound robotic and like a rapid-fire gun LOL but you've made it blend quite smoothly and that's a great feat in itself!

[@Iceferno]

Ahhh so the name is Soca. It's great to finally have a means to identify similar music. I'm not as well versed in certain styles, so I appreciate this. Yeah I was really proud of those drum fills at 2:38 and 4:30. It felt like something that would fit despite me not being knowledgeable in the genre itself. The music of the Carribean, Africa, and Latin America has incredible intoxicating rhythms.

[@nmemassive]

@@liam2503 I agree. Us Caribbean people highly appreciate this because this sound represents our heritage & culture. A serene party atmosphere where people jam & have a good time & lime (chill). @Iceferno Pro got di riddims down nicely. Reggae, dancehall, calypso, soca, zouk & kompa are our local signature Caribbean sounds. Thanks for this soca remix masterpiece Iceferno Pro. Caribbean women will love you for great productions like this

[@liam2503]

​@@Iceferno @NMEMITV Where I'm from, you could even classify this music as a sub-genre of Soca called "Pan Kaiso" ("Pan" referring to the prominence of Steel Pans/Drums) where motifs like 0:59 are used all the time! So I was really surprised to see how you caught on to this style of music instinctively considering you said you aren't well versed in these styles haha. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n33EnXyiqJaClZo This song is a good example of older Pan Kaiso. Anyways keep up the good work, you earned yourself a new subscriber! Looking forward to enjoying your other remixes

This should be played on a cruise ship heading towards the Bahamas

I discovered it this month. This is one of the rare "definitive" video game remixes I have encountered. Congratulations !

[@Iceferno]

Thanks a lot! I loved making this. The original is so good that it inspired me to go further with it.

I'm listening to this literally 2 years from the posted date. How have I missed this for so long?! Great remix! Definitely brings some nostalgia back. 👌

[@danieljoshua1886]

OMG! My favorite Mario Kart song is remixed to perfection I couldn't have imagined! Bravo!!!

[@alexacosta3655]

This song could easily be a summer hit, Just put rihanna mumbling over this instrumental. Hit.

[@holm9832]

This showed up on my recommendations, KZbin actually did their job for once. Thanks for this epic remix.

[@Iceferno]

Awesome. :) Always good to read that, and thanks!

Playing this on my way to Iceferno’s pool party at his mansion 😎

[@EndermanBoss]

Such a masterpiece, I don't think we could ever ask for a better remix.

[@xavierstewart5756]

Totally love the remix of Koopa Troopa Beach. Definitely makes me want to take vacation from my job when listening to this.

[@jaredhudson4344]

I listened to this for the time while ironing my clothes this morning and was grinning like an idiot for its entirety. Delightful remix! Want to just go for a hula on the beach while this plays!

Got glossy-eyed from this man, beautiful job! Brings back lots of amazing times and memories. #purenostalgia 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@platypusduck54]

I had to listen to this not once, not twice, but THREE times on my drive home today! No other song sounded good to listen to after the first time. You took all the energy the original could have to the MAX. This is incredible! One minor nit-pick... At 2:23 my hands wanted to beat "one.....................one two............................" and then maybe "one two three............................one two three four" instead of one..................one.............................one.....................one. But it's definitely not bad the way it is now. This for sure earns the title of my favorite video game remix ever! This is outstanding! A summer go-to FOR SURE!

[@edwinrodriguez4418]

This makes me want to go to the beach and make a sand race track and use it to play Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit

I love tropical themes in games. Mario Kart in particular has some great ones.

[@nthgth]

Never thought of it before but Mario Kart games do tend to have solid tropical, bossa nova type music more than most others, not just for tropical settings too
