It's like the 64 titles were made for nostalgia. The music in them just has that nostalgia feel to it.

[@LockeRobsta]

Thats about all it had going for it, the graphics were total dogshit! Thankfully Nintendo had great composers like Koji Kondo and Kenta Nagata giving the games soul with their music.

[@armandvonriegan5758]

LockeRobster the graphics were good but the music even more :D

[@derpderp553]

SilverStorm t Listen dude, no offense, but on N64 and Playstation alike the graphics were terrible. This doesnt matter though towards giving a game soul and clear proof would be through MGS and FF7

[@ColArana]

Derp Derp They're terrible by modern standards. N64 graphics haven't aged well, but that doesn't mean they weren't good for their time.

[@JasPlun]

LockeRobster Back then the graphics were awesome! They just did not age well with time and with the introduction of HDTV sets it hurt them more. You can still make the games look decent, but you need to mod the systems to turn Scart capability on and then you need a Scart cable and an adapter that converts Scart to HDMI. You can find modded N64 systems for around $120 on Ebay.

[@CraftItGaming]

gomxnaster There are shortcuts? All I know is to hit r when you go down the first slope to put some distance between yourself and the CPUs or your friends.

[@MrFavorite01]

CarbonGaming That's where you can do the shortcut. If you go down the hill slightly, make a quick left, and jump, you can attempt to make it on the track almost parallel to the hill. It gives you MAJOR lead if you make it.

When you're a little kid playing a racing game - let alone a track like Rainbow Road - it's hard to fully pay attention to the background music. But when you get older and you hear it here in KZbin, you can notice its little details, such as the galloping bass, or the guitar-like keyboards.

I can still close my eyes, and picture playing this in the middle of the night, with my father. A memory I will always hold with me. My father's alive, and as far as I KNOW, is well. But he hasn't wanted anything to do with me, since I was about 23 years old, and I just turned 31 last month. I've tried for years to have a relationship with him, and he just refuses. All I can say is, don't hold any grudges with anyone in your family, especially your parents. If you're mad at your dad, and aren't speaking to him, please try to forgive him, and spend as much time with him as you can. My dad was my best friend growing up, and I miss him dearly. I'd give anything to have him in my life.

[@RemnentPlays]

Keep trying.

[@cmcproductions26]

@@RemnentPlays trust me. Ive been trying for years. I admit I made a mistake when I was 23 in 2013, and was addicted to pain killers. I stole 20 bucks from my grandpa, to get pills, and he told my dad and dads whole side of the family about it. Ever since then, they've all hated me. I've apologized profusely to everyone, have been clean since January 2016, am a father to a beautiful 6 year old girl, and am a good father. My dad, and i were close when I was growing up. I always chose to live with him most of the time, vs my mom. I have a half brother on my dad's side, who's 5 years younger than me, and him, and I were always super close growing up. Now, I don't even really know him anymore. He's 27 now, and I haven't even known him since he's been an adult. He stopped wanting to be in my life when he was 16. The whole situation sucks. I envy people who have a tight family, who are there for each other no matter WHAT. I don't even really have family in my life. My mother has always treated me like shit, and treats my two half sisters like queens. My mom would let me live on the streets, if I had nowhere to stay.

[@_yungjay]

@@cmcproductions26 I respect that you quit and you're raising a good family. Keep doing what your doing bro you got it 👍

[@Larsgman]

I don’t know you or your family brother, and when i hear testimonies like this it breaks my heart and makes me thankful that I was raised the way I was. If you are a good person who has changed and is a better person that provides for their family, that’s all that truly matters in this world. Your dad sounds stubborn as shit, so was my dad. He sounds like an asshole like my old man was as well, only difference is mine has been dead for i dont even know how long now, while yours still breathes. Mine has been gone for what, 10 years? I dont even remember the day or year he died anymore. I’m 38 now as I write this. Listen, if he isn’t senile and his only problem is that he is a jerk you need to just shoot straight with him. Just tell him like this, “listen I’ve been trying to reconcile with you for years and im tired of asking for your forgiveness, or anyone else at this point. You don’t want to talk to me, fine then don’t. But when you’re dying don’t come asking me to see you or feel sorry for you. I don’t want to hear apologies from your death bed, but rather right now when it can actually mean something, instead when it’s too late” If you deliver those lines like a cold bastard, and it STILL doesn’t give him a wake up call and make him take his head out of his ass and take a step back - he is beyond saving. Some people aren’t worth the time and effort.

I'm in college right now. Things are rough. It's not just the schoolwork, but the emotional impact of leaving your old life and friends for good. It feels lonesome. But hearing these nostalgic tunes remind me of the good days of the 90's. It just brings me back to playing the N64 with buddies and trading Pokemon cards at school. These beautiful feelings take the pain away. I'm happy that Nintendo was a part of my childhood. No matter how old I get, I'll never forget the good old days.

[@Challenger10K]

I sometimes feel the same. I didn't grow up in the 90's but I left my primary school in 2019 due to the bad teachers not being able to cope with me. I didn't get a day to say goodbye and some friends I had there I have never seen again. Since COVID I haven't seen any of them at all. This song makes you think of good things even if it's not the track. I had to leave this girl that liked me too. I just wish I could see some of these people again. I was homeschooled for 2 years and then went to secondary school where I lost most social skills but made new friends.

When i was 10 i had to go into Hospital for 3 Weeks. In the morning before leaving off, my two older Brothers played Mario Kart with me and we drove through this Track. My Brothers knew i was upset and anxious of going into Hospital, so they let me win the Race. That Music stayed in my Mind forever. 3 Weeks later when i came back home, my Brothers carried me upstairs (wasn't able to walk for a while) and we played this again :-)

Memories. I played this game a lot on my Wii back when I was in 8th grade. Whenever I got home on Friday, you could guarantee my ass would be on the couch playing this game from the minute I got home to like 3 a.m. It was honestly the best time of my life until I graduated High School.

Back to memory lane I go. I love you, MarioKart and Nintendo 64 in general.

[@orangemouse31]

I still play this game on my N64... It'll never get old

[@AdianPronouncedAiden]

for all the people who say video game music isn't real music: *think again*

[@spencerallison3196]

I'm a generation to young for the original release but dang it was fun to play all the n64 games on the wii.

This takes me back to my middle school years when I came home, ate a snack, did my homework, and hopped on this game. Man the 90s were the golden times.

[@ElFamosoArt]

WOW I remember getting up in the middle of the night playing this game and this track with my sisters. IDK but memories like these i remember I had nuthing to worry about. I loved those times!

[@elijahjp2158]

I'm tearing up from this song and I didn't even PLAY MK64 (my prime consoles were the DS and Wii), that's how beautiful this soundtrack is!

[@brockbracken318]

The worst item you can get on this track is a star Because it cuts off this masterpiece

[@ludwigvannormayenn8657]

This is so awesome Loved this melody as a child Still love it now.

[@jaredanderson5538]

This takes me back to the 90s. This was my favourite stage in Mario Kart 64. I sometimes have this tune in my head when I'm driving at night.
