Rainbow Road - Epic Orchestral Medley

Who else is excited for the release of Mario Kart 7's Rainbow Road?
This is actually an insane coincidence. I've worked on this cover for months, and it was finally finished an hour before Nintendo announced they're bringing back the 3DS Rainbow Road. Now, I'm super excited and can't wait for December 7th.
Can you tell me what themes you recognized?

I would LOVE if this played in the Mario Movie during the Kart scene.

[@compasspictures]

That would be amazing!

[@oliverxgrogan]

it did! kinda

[@Hamdzzz]

well...

[@RondoOfBloodX]

Maybe I should by a lotto ticket

[@lightt7213]

@@oliverxgrogan yeah for about 2 seconds and then the movie mario bros. theme kicked in with some intense music

[@jaehojeong5036]

This is truly such a Walt Disney-Stylish song.

[@compasspictures]

I'm so glad you feel like that - that was my intention!

[@cesarjimenezanimator]

Sounded like Battlerock Galaxy towards the end there.

[@Roze_aye]

bro busted into illuminations studio and took notes. not only does the SNES RR section sound similar instrument wise. but It even plays the exact same section. It even cuts off at the same part

[@compasspictures]

To be honest, I still haven't seen the movie. I need to check it out!

[@Pablo-ye2pq]

mario movie when they're on rainbow road: i can see it :D

[@kuraian2]

These give such a nostalgic feeling. Great job!

[@compasspictures]

Thank you so much!

[@superpixelwarrior6893]

I know there are fanmade mods that make an ultimate rainbow road that combines all of them. But imagine Nintendo made a mashup one officially in the next Mario kart game, and the music was similar to this

[@Pika999]

I started tearing up when the MK7 part started...that song makes me feel things 😢 64, Double Dash, and 7 have my favorite RR songs btw, I never played MK64 growing up (or ever, actually), but somehow the music gives me nostalgia...maybe it's because Double Dash's (my first Mario Kart game) RR theme has some parts of 64's in it so it sounds familiar to me...? And 7's also has parts of 64 in it but I really like that one as a whole...7 has to be my personal favorite RR of all because of the music and the track itself. Anyway, this medley was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@compasspictures]

I'm really glad that you like the MK7 part - that one was my favorite as well!

[@optimistic5467]

It's called a road it's called the rainbow road, it is the road that you go!

[@compasspictures]

I was waiting for this comment!

[@cathryinmash]

My favorite mario game was Super Mario Galaxy. And this just feels like were going into space again! Love the brass arrangement so empowering and Majestic!

[@compasspictures]

Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you like it!

[@BurgundyKnight45]

Such a beatiful arrangement

[@compasspictures]

Thank you so much!

[@gallenushi4180]

this wouldve been amazing if this was in the ending of the mario movie

[@petabyte234]

This is amazing, truly needs way more views man

[@compasspictures]

Thank you!

[@PaleoEntertainment]

Simpler days... better days. Thank you for this.

[@compasspictures]

I'm glad you like it!

[@mixer1014]

Please consider making a full version of that 3DS Rainbow arrangement!!! It’s flawless❤️

[@compasspictures]

The 3ds arrangement is what I'm most proud of, so I'm really glad you like it!! Right now, I sadly don't have an idea how to extend it, but I'll keep thinking about this!

[@mixer1014]

@@compasspictures well you could just remix the whole song with the orchestral arrangement

[@VW3059-Studio]

@@compasspictures Make a full version of 3DS Rainbow Road arrangement , it's the best

[@r.downgrade5836]

This is wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@compasspictures]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!

[@lgpaulett5775]

Underrated arrangement

[@compasspictures]

Thanks!

[@FraiSaY]

Deserve more views, really impressive work buddy

[@compasspictures]

Thank you so much!

[@KingBobStudios]

I love this arrangement!

[@compasspictures]

Thank you!

[@StarmisYTP]

Well, here we are after nearly 2 years and we're onto the last wave.

[@compasspictures]

I'm already exited!

[@compasspictures]

What versions of Rainbow Road did you recognize? Sadly, I couldn't include all of them, but I did try to fit in as many as possible!

[@volksdude1970]

I love how you started with the original SNES track, snuck a bit of Super Circuit in, then escalated it into the glorious N64 track. I think the second big part was either MK:DS or 7, and was there a bit of Wii in there as well? Fantastic piece! Absolutely stunning!

[@compasspictures]

@@volksdude1970 Wow, thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! The ending is 3ds rainbow road; I really tried to fit in the Wii theme as well, but I couldn't really figure out, how to do that.

[@theshygal]

This makes my heart soooo happy!!! XD Wowsers. Great work!

[@compasspictures]

Thank you so much!

[@Fureiji88]

This is definitely movie quality that can make one cry just for seeing rainbow road in the Mario movie as well as Mario finding that strength in himself to defeat Bowser.

[@compasspictures]

I know this was 2 months ago, but thank you so much!

[@ari-dynamicarchive]

This is absolutely wonderful. X3

[@compasspictures]

Thank you so much!

[@ItsFMR]

Simply amazing! I'd love more Mario! Like the Mario 64 - Water world song

[@compasspictures]

I'll check it out!

[@dashkartfenix4774]

Si en la carrera en el arcoiris suena una variación de este tema del rainbow Road en la película, voy a llorar de verdad ❤

[@Hamdzzz]

pues...

[@alejandronajerabezares]

Si lloraste

[@bluberrydee6205]

I hear SNES, N64 (technically GCN too), 3DS?, and ofc GBA

[@LeScarletSinger2]

Yeah, it's 3DS.

[@93ImagineBreaker]

part of the gcn

[@DrasticFox2004]

I got a request you should do: *Back to the Future (Epic Hybrid Fan-Made Soundtrack)* (Yeah, did what you did with Indiana Jones. Cause that was EMOTIONAL AND AWESOME)

[@compasspictures]

I actually tried to make a soundtrack medley that included Back to the Future years ago, but my file crashed before I could finish it. It's unusuable now, but I've always wanted to do a new version!

[@zianjakeignacio8908]

The Music When You Add The Realistic Mod In SM64:

[@christianfrost8660]

No Wii, no Gold, no Glory.

[@Luigifrom1985]

How? It's The End? from Mario Movie? 😢

[@olid8108]

Wow just come across your channel. How don’t you have more subs? This is crazy shit

[@compasspictures]

Thank you so much, Oli!

[@eclips4385]

Most fusrating video ever, you just ignored the best rainbow road theme by far, the wii one

[@compasspictures]

I tried to include the Wii version, but it didn't really fit into the same style. I tried to give it its own cover here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH3cXoZ6nr58kLM
