this song hits different in Ring Racers. the way they kept one of its most iconic external tracks and even slid its motifs into other tracks makes it feel right at home. this track never stopped being awesome

The notes at 1:09 and 1:49 almost sound like Sonic Mania's invincibility, which made me initially think this was made just for Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (since it's the Sonic franchise)...until I looked at the music credits and found out it was this song. It's still cool music to hear in the menu before the next race! (or rather next "free play" since I'm making a custom track (and it's weird without a tutorial, so I can't get my finish line to actually function yet).

That intro brings shivers down my spine with how nostalgically good it is This song reminds me of a time I never got to properly experience due to being born right in the middle of it. It just, feels so nostalgic and fun like it's inviting you to forget all of your problems and just, have fun doing whatever you please. It's songs like these that I really love, songs that take you back to times that feel the best, even if you never experienced it yourself. This is definitely gonna be a song I'll cry to in the future, due to how hard-hitting that feeling is. This is easily my favourite electronic song of all time.

I have no idea what this SRB2 Kart is. I know this song from a Newgrounds video called We Played Nintendo. That video with this song gives me some strong nostalgia every time. It also introduced me to this entire album and the others in the series.

[@FlamingFoxProd]

Well, for context, SRB2Kart is short for "Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart" - it's a mod of a Sonic fan game called Sonic Robo Blast 2 (said fangame in itself being a mod of DOOM), Kart basically turning the game into a kart racer like Mario Kart, and it happens to use this song as its main theme. SRB2, and by extension Kart, are mainly popular for their extensive modding scene - you can put pretty much any character into Kart if you just draw a few sprites and there's plenty of custom maps too. If you're into racing games at all I'd recommend it.

[@bnjay29]
