Mario Kart Wii: Rainbow Road (Mario Kart DS style)

I wanted to see what this theme would sound like in Mario Kart DS, so I made it! Hope you enjoy. The only thing that wasn't arranged by me was the melody. Everything else I had total creative freedom on.

Feels like an unused composition made before Nintendo decided to use the one we got in the final game.

[@jesse4437]

This is actually impressive as hell especially since the two rainbow roads are already similar. Good job.

Thank you!

I dont think they are similar

The nostalgia for my two favourite Mario karts right now is unprecedented

[@Alxium]

Really shows how similar the two themes are.

[@andymcclurg9916]

This is the only version I can listen to now

[@BellHillMayor]

I wished Nintendo remakes the DS Rainbow Road for the next Mario Kart game itself, it was the first track to have a loop and corkscrew! Make it happen Nintendo!

[@JemarcusTheLamb87]

The flute was perfect

[@flyinyoku3543]

Amazing arrangement. The background "shimmer" notes are so good. A lot of people would've left those out but they add so much. Sounds like a very ahead of its time DS soundtrack but perfectly fitting for MKDS.

[@Mackenzie_EV]

DUDE your stuff is so good!!!!! really makes me sad you don't have more subs, your work is PHENOMENAL.

[@markify8019]

I really appreciate that. Thank you!

[@Droopy95mkDS]

I was right to put my passion for Mario Kart on hold for almost ten years. The gems I'm discovering these days, woohoo ! And this is one of them.

[@RandomHans]

damn this actually sounds legit

I always find myself coming back to this amazing cover, you did such an amazing job on this Mark!! 🤘🤘

[@markify8019]

That’s a huge compliment coming from you! Thank you!

[@BenSchubert1995]

I got goosebumps listening to this! Awesome job!

[@CrimsonBraveMaster]

This is arguably better than the Wii original, fantastic job!

[@panchito_1002]

This is a nostalgia overload! I love it, it’s enough to make a grown man cry, and that’s okay. 🥲

[@markify8019]

But not this grown man. Get back in there, tear.

[@BellHillMayor]

Awesome, I've wished the theme sounded like this in the first place. Sounds exciting!

Yep, this is pretty good

[@teerv9763]

You must release an extended version its too good,i want more

[@AverageKingBooEnjoyer]

Could you try to do same thing but with roles reversed? Mario Kart DS Rainbow Road but in Wii style?

[@LuisDGamer]

Siempre había dicho que la música de la rainbow road de DS y Wii se parecían, sobre todo en el inicio Ésto prueba que es cierto

[@markify8019]

¡Estoy de acuerdo, suenan muy similares!

[@ThighFish]

How even do I encounter you over and over again?

[@attawog]

sick

[@deathlyhallows888]

Hi Markify, just want to let you know that this arrangement is fantastic! I'm graduating with a music degree next month and I love arranging, especially VGM. I'm just curious, do you have any music theory experience? Because this seems like it was crafted by someone with a really good ear. So many of the soundfont swaps on KZbin feel like they are missing something and don't really capture the essence of the soundfont they are using/imitating. This one, to me, is so good because of how you arranged the bass. The bass track in DS Rainbow Road was based (lol) on SNES Rainbow Road's bass line and I feel like this calls back to that as well, especially with how everything is mixed/balanced. So many KZbin remixers miss the mark when it comes to the actual mixing and levels but this was solid. Also, the drums and the grace notes fit in SO well with the MKDS style. And the doppler effect on the sparkle sound at the beginning is just like MKWii, it just sounds so great on top of everything you've got here. I've listened to this nearly 100 times in the past week, it's just leagues ahead of so many other arrangements on KZbin. Really nice job!!!

[@markify8019]

Wow… this means so much to me. Thank you! To answer your question- I do not have any formal music theory training, I am self-taught. I have perfect pitch, which helps a bit though! I plan to major in music composition and compose for video games and cinema. Hearing that you’re getting a music degree really wants to make me get in contact with you- please reach out to me through Discord at MARK 3#1404, I’d love to talk all things music!

[@snowy_hawk1727]

I thought that this was a N64 version of MKDS Rainbow Road but I kept listening and it wasn't
