Mario Kart Double Dash: Rainbow Road (Vector U Remix)

Get your nostalgia goggles on, cuz this funky happy song will blast you all the way back to 2003! This is still one of my favorite Mario Karts to date, because it was so unique and fun with friends :D
I wanted to keep the racing level vibe and the overall structure rather simple. I focused on mixing, sound quality and maximizing b u m p. The melody speaks for itself, so I didn't really want to change it too much here.
Hope you enjoy this funky fresh goodness!

VectorU, I have to commend you on your insight, care and dedication when you craft your songs. You really seem to understand the soul of this art is the nostalgia, and reconnecting us not just with the songs you remix, but the moments that transformed the sounds of the games into fond memories. You don't just make music, you reunite us with parts of ourselves we hold most dear which is why we keep listening and remembering together as a community. You are one of the most brilliant remixers I have ever heard music produced from and I am so blessed to have found you. Please keep up the amazing work!

[@Vector_U]

Thank you so much! Your comment means a lot and really paints the picture I was trying to paint. I will try to keep the nostalgia factor going nice and strong

[@xamskywalker]

I cringe and agree at the same time lol

[@UltimateTobi]

That is exactly how I think of those songs as well.

[@TheDerpyKatLIVE]

I'll drink to that, although I may never experience this nostalgia for this game that many of you hold dear, I still see that I may look back at games such as MKWii, NSMBWii, Mario Party 8, and Super Paper Mario with similar fondness, and although those memories were only 6 or 7 years old. I feel the nostalgia that many of you feel while listening to this song, and with the power of emulators, you can finally (legally) play these games that gave you such joy all those years ago and say, "Wow this game was horrible, but at least my younger self enjoyed it." And these remixes allow for similar nostalgia as emulation, but they also allow for creativity never before seen in a similar way. Thank you, Vector U and Aerisbae, for allowing me to express how I feel about remixes and nostalgia in a more formal way.

[@gamechops]

So good!

[@maximustorres7522]

So good!

[@CorvodaPop]

I'll miss you again, Uncle. But really, super excited to hear it! Edit: I absolutely love it. You're so good at incorporating game sound effects into songs in a way a lot of other remixes fall flat.

[@Vector_U]

What a meme

[@iantheguy4647]

It’s called a road it’s called a rainbow road

[@CodenameBolts]

It has Princess Peach and the Toad

[@DSX_Storm]

I’ve listened to this over and over, and every time it always makes me cry from how nostalgic this song is. My first ever game was Mario Kart Double Dash and this remix of my favorite track is amazing in every way possible. Thank you, Vector U, not just for this amazing song, but for all the hard work that goes into these songs, but for creating a great community along the way. PS: I love all the songs you create. This song just hits the nostalgia the most with as I said before with Mario Kart Double Dash being the first game I ever played.

[@Vector_U]

I'm so glad this brings back those memories for you! This is why I make remixes! 😊

[@awesomecowsgaming3391]

Loved how you can have 2 people in one kart an idea they need to bring back

[@julifuentes]

I have listened to this remix over and over again. This is one of my favorite remixes ever. And even though I haven't played Double Dash, it is one of my favorite Mario Kart games, alongside Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. On another note I really love your music, it is always so unique and so catchy, and I am always coming back to your music. It cheers me up when I am having a bad day.

[@noa670]

Rainbow Road, it's not a where you go when you die, it's Rainbow road!

[@SkullFireSwords]

I miss you uncle

[@LvlGenesis]

Oh yes! My favorite Rainbow Road by my favorite remixer!

[@steady_94]

It's a damn good remix too!

[@attbutnotactually]

The song that plays in the credits once you finish the internet

[@weldous]

at 1:18 I started having infinite goosebumps, it wouldn't stop

[@bigcrescendo]

BarakeX legit that part made me nostalgic asf

[@Redzpro725]

Yeah because it's in like every Mario kart rainbow road theme

[@Redzpro725]

At least I remember it in ds and 7 at least

[@thelastsidewalk]

You've captured so much happiness and life in this piece. The same joys I had (and still have) whenever I play Double Dash. This compliments the happy, bubbly feel of the game. What an amazing tribute.

[@Vector_U]

I'm glad i brought back a nice slice of life for you!

[@A_guy_named_Aven_alt]

WE BE UNLOCKING THE ALL CUP TOUR WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Tomovski08]

The way you broke down the melody and reconstructed it to your beats amazes me. BANG ON JOB!!!

[@ZERARCHIVE2023]

[@supahotfire1267]

I'm actually crying right now

[@toshio1334]

1:34 that Daisy scream works out so well

[@tal0z391]

love the race finish sound at the end, really closes it off nicely

[@rb6773]

I would love this song to be the official soundtrack of Rainbow Road!

[@Daisy23gaming]

That lines coming from the background make it looking like you're traveling faster than light!

[@vgamejosh8]

My second favorite remix of yours! When I first listened to this I thought it was going to consist purely of the Double Dash “Rainbow Road” theme but then the two transitions to the 64 version are incredible! I also love the use of the character voices as well! You never seize to amaze me with your incredible remixes!

[@CodenameBolts]

I added this to Rainbow Road in Mario Kart Wii with CTGP Revolution and man it is so good to play to this.

[@cobcorn8749]

I love how the song ended with the finish line sound lol

[@Ztimes22]

spoiler alert ^.^

[@aninymouse1651]

It begins with the starting line sound, too.

[@sagehenry4834]

1:17 oh yeah!

[@sweetneato3889]

This beautiful masterpiece brings me so much joy and nostalgia. I don't care what anyone says Mario Kart Double dash is the best Mario kart and i just love the voices like Mario and everyone that plays in this it just fits so well together! This just brings me back to the good old days of when i was a carefree kid who would just play Mario kart Double Dash all day and just so many amazing classics on the gamecube. To this game my favorite console is for sure the gamecube, you my good man have earned my sub.

[@alexblack6807]

Agreed my first as well

[@eudaimonistic]

There's too many awesome things going on in this track for me to talk about them all, but something I think might be going unnoticed by a lot of folks out there is the reverby synth chords underneath the entire track. They give off a lot of the older Mario Kart track vibes because of the fade/reverb effect that feels like an echo, or an engine drone. Combined with the nature of the mixing, it almost sounds like an old time organ you might hear at sporting events, or maybe even a racetrack. Nostalgia isn't even an apt word to describe the feeling. Among the dozens of other amazing elements of this track, I just felt like that underlying strata really solidified the vibe of the tune and took it to a whole new five levels. Needless to say, you didn't take any Ultra Shortcuts in this track, and we all benefited from that. Thanks again for an amazing tune! (back to my binge of every track, every time you release one Victor lmao)

[@bbun2968]

It just sounds so majestic near the middle and i love that. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@leonh6133]

I am soooo hyped

[@mistyleask1279]

Ahhhhh. So much nostolgia. This was my first Mario Kart game and also the only Rainbow Road i like to this day. Thank you for making it so perfect!

[@matthewjohnston7246]

If you change the playback speed to 1.25 at 2:03, you'll be on the last lap. You know, that one part where you choose to fall off and lose? Yup, that lap, that's the one.

[@john4376]

I am certain I have listened to this for at least 2 hours now. And STILL LISTENING! This is amazing.

[@benbriggsmusic]

I keep coming back to this one and almost crying

[@Vector_U]

[@DefaultName-kd3uy]

When Nintendo is finally done with mario kart, this should be played in the back of a video showing every mario kart in order

[@aymen8862]

This feeling... it feels good 😌

[@sculptednostalgia]

Dude you are so talented!!! Ah I love this one so much. I love your use of in game samples in each song you make, I think it is something that honestly makes you different from a lot of remixers on KZbin, each song you put out I know will have a little “wahoo” or “hup!” sound affect from the game haha. I really love when remixers do this as it really adds to the song! But yeah, really really enjoyed this and am looking forewarned to your next video! :)

[@Vector_U]

Thank you! This means so much to me ❤️

[@lokiofzygarde]

This is my new favorite remix of yours now, passing the Koopa Beach NoteBlock collab. Your Mario Kart remixes are amazing, and so are your other songs!

[@Luigi-194]

I love the beginning, such a good build up.

[@yanickhavil4932]

Hello Vector U, I discovered your chanel like four days ago and I just want to say that your work is reallly soul-hitting. It makes my work easier when i can heard yours . Plz keep doing what you do : keeping the essence of the music while adding your magic :).

[@franciscominas213]

This is just the best GCN Rainbow Road remix ever, it adds so much personality itself but it also reminds the original and the track experience, even in 2023 this is still a BANGER; one of a kind. Congrats and keep on the good work! 😛

Hits home, very very good

[@CodeCaden]

Very nice

[@Silenrea]

I keep coming back here to listen. I never got to own or play Double Dash...but I want it remastered. Just...give us it back with online capability. I would have preferred Double Dash over Skyward Sword remake. :B Nintendo is like "We made Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. We gave you double items." Completely oblivious that it wasn't double items that mattered. It was the uniqueness of swapping racers, unique items based on who you choose, the craziness. I watched people play it in videos and was always thinking "Damn I wish I had that...and...friends to play it with in my area."

[@Maye1918]

I FUCKING LOVE DOUBLE DASH! it was my first mario kart and my first video game. So thank you SO much for this!

[@Vector_U]

You're very welcome! :)
