Mario Kart 8 Rainbow Road (N64) in F-Zero X!

I was playing F-Zero X and talking about Mario Kart 8 and I had the idea to recreate the N64 Rainbow Road remake in a game that could have done it 15 years ago. It's by no means perfect, because the F-Zero X Expansion Kit track creator is very indepth and I only know basics, but I think it got the point across pretty well.
Nintendo where's F-Zero U #BringBackFZero

[@joshuapotter5940]

To all who are wondering about the music: This song is REAL, but was never localized. It was made in an expansion kit for the N64DD, only released in Japan. Look up F-Zero X Rainbow Road.

[@13gamerbullet]

1:31 That was almost magical, the way all the machines flew away when the music spikes

[@DanielAyy]

Would have been even cooler if the music spiked at 2:18

[@alejandrogonzalezakamintyt2242]

It's weird to think that the first remake of this track wasn't in a Mario Kart game.

[@UrokLizard]

1:31 had the perfect timing where the music transitions and you get boost power. It screamed "Power unleashed"

[@ertz141]

That rainbow road remix tho

[@CrasherX2000]

play the song on the highway YOU GOT BOOST POWER *sudden arrest by cops because you were speeding* *retired*

[@nicocchi]

+CrasherX2000 TOO BAD, YOU LOST YOUR MACHINE

[@cookieblobber]

IT FUCKING BANGIN'

[@Itsbully06]

its epic

[@FoxPonyShift2013]

F-Zero sounds cool. It would be nice if Nintendo brought a new F-Zero game.

[@labcoatgorilla6784]

Yeah, it sure would be nice if Nintendo put out a new F-Zero game.

[@omegafawful2437]

I got news for you. Not good news just news

[@FzeroVaporeon]

Real

[@jl-skape4048]

​@@omegafawful2437 At least it's something

[@marko87ish]

I had both Mario Kart 64 and even F-Zero X, and it was a pleasure to run on this track in both games! Memories!

[@badATchaos]

Makes me wish GX had a level editor

[@Indextic]

yeah unfortunately with the way gx's levels worked it would have been extremely hard to have a level editor or something like that :(

[@Chillius]

@Indextic It uses I think .bml files, like MK:DD so when MK:DD hacking starts, we can get F-zero GX Hacking.

[@sonicboy678]

***** That's if it starts.

[@JorfDB]

Yo, Octoman fucking destroyed that race.

[@ZombieaidZ]

He wasn’t playing around

[@refurbishedtechpriest9076]

This track looks like it'd be fun to race on. And the music makes it complete.

[@mrchuckmorris]

I miss the days when you could just wreck people straight off the track. "Oh, so even if I win the next race, these 3 guys will still keep me from 1st overall if they finish in the top 10?" [proceeds to hunt them down and slaughter them all by lap 2]. Seriously, they even put a "Rival" marker right above the car with the most overall points so you knew exactly who to terrorize. Forget blue shells, this was rubber banding taken to the extreme.

[@darkeye14]

At first, I thought you were just going to play the normal Rainbow Road track as a joke, but this is actually a pretty sweet remake.

[@Indextic]

fuck i shoulda just done that

[@altispinex86]

@Indextic you know you could take a huge shortcut if you boost off to the left at the beginning.

[@trancingdeeper]

altispinex86 You actually can't since there's invisible checkpoints across a map. If it detects that isn't at the correct checkpoint, the car will just fall through the track.

[@altispinex86]

Stick/Rommel well that sucks

[@Octolicia]

That only work in Mario Kart 64 this is F-zero it's not the same thing. If you take a shortcut, you're disqualified and by disqualified i mean dead.

[@BurntPork92]

This is the most 90s remix I've ever heard. Also, nice job.

[@samuelmauldin9131]

I actually have half a mind to recreate my favorite Mario Kart tracks from both SNES and N64 on F Zero X, and this video actually gave me that!

[@Aaron-Miller-1138]

I've never played that new track of Rainbow Road. It looks so awesome!😃😃😄😄

[@jasiekjasinski7878]

0:36 THREE, TWO, ONE, BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!!!!

[@kanolemaster]

this is one of the most beautiful things ever in video game history

[@alucardfu2]

More music More Explosions MORE POWER!!! *VIVA LA F ZERO X!!!!!*

[@malte1984]

that music fits perfect. (nice dupple kill at the end of the 2nd round by the way)

[@Chillius]

Just a tip: While driving press L and go right to do nicer turning, you get around curves easier.

[@SonicPman]

*FAHKUNO DORIFTO*

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Makes me wonder if it is possible to include Rainbow Road into the original F-Zero (SNES)?

[@BigChef69]

This is sick.

[@TylerMcNamer]

I love those two pilots!

[@ricardomendoza-oy8mp]

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS IN MY LIFE O MY GOD!!!!

[@Joshua05005]

It’s because I’d this course we have mute city and big blue in Mario kart 8

[@KepalaMonyet]

1:30 That music was timed perfectly, right alongside the boost power.

[@Ian112568]

This video brought back alot of memories. I used to play it with my brothers and always on this level or something like that level

[@IHeliosI]

Looks like there was no way of putting in that large gap between the road and the space station from the MK8 RR huh?

[@tv-cq6uj]

WOW Rainbow Road

[@ern1813]

As seen on the title, did you just predicted Mario kart 8 deluxe?

[@rmissing3361]

Hurts when he say "Mario Kart 8"

[@cyrex6519]

How would i play this and anymore maps?

[@ToastNova]

*casually jumps off a hill and hits about mach 2 on the way down*

[@highfiveshighfives4980]

nice

[@bankgiras]

sick..........................................

[@johanneshaukanes4531]

Also the first sandocean track in GX is similar to rainbow road in MK64

[@MortonGoldthwait]

Good night! You beat the disc drive cups on master with Iron Tiger!?!

[@mspeter97]

I don't know how to use the editor, I don't understand it at all :/

[@Snubbs]

I'm less impressed at this track as i am that you almost won a track on master. No matter what i tried, i could never get past 8th place in the jack cup.

[@9a3eedi]

dat music

[@walkergang5470]

I like it Rainbow Road 64 track from Mario Kart 8! Actually can the try something with Course Edit. It´s my favorite Rainbow Road track from Mario Kart 64.

[@mvbowserbrutus]

Wow! Fantastic job! Also, lemme just say, I myself have yet to use the Twin Noritta in F-Zero X. Can someone please tell me if the Twin Noritta is a half decent machine in F-Zero X or not? (I’m asking because I have the Twin Noritta unlocked in F-Zero X, but I haven’t used it yet in that game. I have used it in F-Zero GX though, but it’s NOT up my alley in the slightest)

[@striker7793]

The Twin Norrita is a speed settings machine in X, though the way X handles durability makes it really weak when taking hits, so making sure you dont crash is crucial. Not recommended for Beginners. Recommended for speedrunners.

[@MorchoGames]

Where do I Download this Track?!!!

[@kanolemaster]

i want to know as well.

[@ReimuHakureiShrine]

You're pretty lucky you got the 64DD.

And paste in plugin folder

[@drakethedragon457]

Are you even playing this? You are that good you look like your playing as the Ai!

[@zexalsrevenge511]

Oh how F-Zero X has the best soundtrack amongst all N64 games.

[@tivolibelen223]

This is work from pj64 if u using japanese version

[@mikeharris6722]

How can you remix the rainbow road music in the style of f zero x?

[@Knash]

It was a secret track which you unlock only if you have the DD expansion, also this expansion comes with the track editor, where you can create your own F-ZERO tracks, with all the mechanics the game offers

[@striker7793]

@@Knash the only unlocking you need is unlock Joker cup in DD FZero X, and that is no secret

[@Knash]

@@striker7793 Technically it was considered as a secret because for the western audience don't have any idea that a remix like this existed on that time, even though they don't even know that Nintendo created that accessory for the N64, until the emulation gained strength

[@vulduv]

@@striker7793 They were talking about the music track. In the base game of F-Zero X, rainbow road uses the same music track as Sector α and Sector β. But with the DD expansion kit running, it replaces the music on rainbow road with a metal version of the original rainbow road music from Mario Kart 64.

[@LITTLE1994]

You said Mario Kart 8, when this game and the original N64 Rainbow Road are made WAY before that game...

[@wlliamson53]

How did you make the music?

[@joshuapotter5940]

It's an actual mix in the game.

[@timeknucels]

60 mph in km/h? 100 kph

[@gamesandroid0079]

[@TheClosetWriter100]

Is there an emulator for the Nintendo 64 DD?

[@TommyFenstermacher5150]

I *think* there's a way to patch the ROM to have at least some of the EXpansion pack.

[@ASkilledRoy]

+THERAZORKILLE Productions theres an emulator now

why not mk8 rainbow road????

[@swiftspartan1560]

Thanks, I will

[@Archeides]

Just don't do the new Rainbow Road from MK8... no one would ever finish it, because they would all die falling off the track.

[@Archeides]

I'm not talking about the one in this video. Mario Kart 8 has 2 rainbow roads... the one in this video is based off the one that's based off the 64 version. I'm talking about the new one that's only in 8. That one has almost no railings and is incredibly hard to stay on the tracks on Go-Karts... so I can't imagine what it would be like driving at light speeds (in a game where you don't revive).

[@HuzzahForBiscuits]

Archeides Ive only fallen off of it like twice- I thought the double dash version was harder.

[@thatprettymagicalfan4803]

I can't believe f zero stole mk64 rainbow road!!!!!!! \:(

[@lapinbeau]

I'm guessing this is a custom ROM?

[@joshuapotter5940]

No. it's an expansion kit only released in Japan.

[@themetavirus]

Joshua Potter someone even made an english port for it.

[@joshuapotter5940]

Yes, I am aware of that. I AM an F-Zero Fan, after all.
