Staff Roll - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Music

It all comes to an end

[@PhanTum926]

Well, everyone, this is it. This game has officially come to an end... For making an ending theme of a great DLC, this is an amazing one we had in a while. This really sent a perfect goodbye message to all of us playing and appreciating the work. Fills with emotion and amazing work of rearrangements. I also love the transitions between segments of each song, especially most of them are from Tour (while I'm still unable to play that game, they really gave Tour recognition very nicely despite it being heavily criticized). To end this whole comment. Here's a "credits roll" of my own: • I want to firstly say thank you, TZGaming, for providing these bangers since the very first wave. They're also done very quickly while uploading them in very high quality and good care. I'm glad I discovered your channel because of this. • Also, special thanks to all other great music users who participated in uploading them: Gaming Player123, Dave's OSTs, ZakkroMD, RontoS, Yoshi VGM, Aarco Xtensions, & much more. Thanks to all composers who made the best soundtracks possible, mainly done by Ryo Nagamatsu. • Huge thank you to Nintendo for making the best racing game on a Nintendo system within the Switch version's life span of 6 years and adding the original version with a total of 9 YEARS. • And a final thank you to everyone playing the game and all the viewers listening to the soundtrack. And to everyone reading, have a very nice day! 👋❤️

[@riverresident4769]

Looking back over the past 9 years, Mario Kart 8 has had an impressive 12 bouts of DLC. Don’t believe me? Let’s count. 1. The Mercedes Benz collaboration 2. The Amiibo update 3. DLC pack 1 (2014) 4. DLC pack 2 (2015) 5. Added Deluxe port features 6. Hero of the Wild + Master Cycle Zero 7. BCP wave 1 8. BCP wave 2 9. BCP wave 3 10. BCP wave 4 11. BCP wave 5 12. BCP wave 6 That’s crazy!

[@PhanTum926]

@@limeanimates I did not know until you pointed it out. Thanks. While it's true that he left, it's uncertain what music he composed in the Booster Course Pass as of for now. Keep in mind that the DLC came out months before his retirement. What if he already had all of his songs planned before the DLC even ended, since his name is in the DLC credits. Plus, there's lots of new composers I didn't mention. Feel free to leave off any corrections or better possible theories if mine's isn't the greatest to you.

[@Miguel92398]

Since MK8 uses the SNES leitmotif on the title theme, it makes perfect sense that the end of Mario Kart 8 ends with a SNES leitmotif. Great job Nintendo!

[@MarioMasterProductions]

Soyo Oka's work is still remembered.

[@Miguel92398]

Now before anyone say "But Mario Kart 64 still has the SNES leitmotif, it's just slowed down", please check your ears and read the notes. Similar but not the same. Majority of past Mario Kart uses the N64 leitmotif than the SNES in terms of tempo. Go speed up the N64 version and tell me that it's the same. I'd say the N64 is its own leitmotif, separating from the SNES.

[@hypanusamericanus9058]

@@Miguel92398 It's the same. While the notes are slightly different, there's no doubt that Mario Kart 64's title theme is a remix of Super Mario Kart's title theme. It's like how the main motif of the underground theme of Super Mario Bros. is shortened to thee notes in Super Mario Sunshine's Delfino Airstrip theme and yet we can clearly tell it is a remix of the underground theme. So yes, I will say "Mario Kart 64 still has the SNES leitmotif, it's just slowed down," though with some asterisks.

[@sometf2player752]

Through the bustling center on Coconut Mall, through the lonely and quiet Kalimari desert, celebrating the holidays with Merry Mountain, wading through the Riverside Park, driving through the (disappointing) Sunset Wilds, and giving one last hurrah to 8 Deluxe with Wii Rainbow Road. This is truly the best DLC for a game that I’ve ever seen.

[@alexanderadams9058]

What a beautiful comment dude Every wave of this booster course, from the anticipation to each release, to the countless theories about which tracks were getting in, has been an absolute treat to experience. This dlc has been one HELL of a ride and I'm glad to have spent it with people like you, appreciating all this dlc has to offer. Hope to see you in the comments when 9 comes out in a few decades lol

[@b1galbos89]

Once again, It is STILL a Sunset, and that it's just a background gimmick that contributes ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the actual race and course. It's still a decent Desert Course (although I would have preferred GBA Yoshi Desert or even Wii Dry Dry Ruins). Get over it already!

[@alexanderadams9058]

@@b1galbos89 U still on that? Lmao 🤣🤣

[@Goomba456]

​@@b1galbos89it's worth noting that the reason why there is not sunset is because of the way Mario kart 8's lighting works. it is not possible for it to dynamically change mid race like that without significant lag tmk. Tour has a much simpler lighting system so It was able to pull it off.

[@bob171]

​@@b1galbos89Yeah, graphics mean nothing either in terms of gameplay, but if every track had no color and was all just a bunch of white platforms there would be issues. Its about presentation.

[@mechalo5271]

I must say, this DLC has been a wild ride. Literally. *Wave 1* Some people overlooked the DLC during its first days, likely because it was porting over tracks from Tour. But if anything, I'd say the main selling point was _Wii Coconut Mall_ due to how immensely popular it is. I was mainly excited to have new places to race in. *Wave 2* The hype started to build up. Not only do the more popular tracks make their way in, but _Sky-High Sundae_ is an _original_ track. It's very obvious that _DS Waluigi Pinball_ was the main selling point of this wave. You could tell people were _bouncing off the walls like pinballs to bumpers._ *Wave 3* Ending 2022 with style. It's now clear that this DLC is widely adored, especially with how good the tracks look compared to Tour. Also, items in non-Grand Prix races can now be toggled with Custom Items. My favorite is clearly _3DS Rainbow Road_ which, fittingly, ends the Moon Cup and the 2022 section of the DLC. *Wave 4* New drivers started pouring in. There was only one in this pack (that being _Birdo_ and her colored variants), but the tracks kept coming, and they're all promising. Although people tend to glare at _DS Mario Circuit_ for reasons, I would have to say my favorite track there is _Yoshi's Island_ due to it not just being original, but having proper representation of the Yoshi series. Now the Wario series just needs a (non-Arcade) track... Perhaps in the future ahead of us? *Wave 5* We got three new drivers this time around. _Kamek_ is widely known for having been cut from the ORIGINAL MK8, _Wiggler_ is widely known because...well, Wiggler on Wiggler, and _Petey Piranha_ is a favorite to most if not all. _Wii Moonview Highway_ and _Squeaky Clean Sprint_ are what I'd consider to be my favorites for this wave. _GBA Sunset Wilds_ WAS going to be a favorite, but then it was discovered that it doesn't become night as the race processes. I was bummed out, and I knew people were angry about it. *Wave 6* The very end. Four new drivers came along: _Peachette_ - Toadette with a crown, _Pauline_ - mayor of New Donk City, _Diddy Kong_ - DK's little buddy... and _Funky Kong_ - known as THE most popular character in Mario Kart Wii. No, really. Plus, a whole army of new Mii Racing Suits and a way to listen to track music from the menu. Even if you don't own the DLC, you can still play the DLC track songs! My personal favorite would be _Wii Rainbow Road_ - not only does it end the Spiny Cup, but it ends the 2023 section AND the DLC overall. Plus, all the little tidbits that weren't in Tour were added back. Yes, you still combust into flames as you fall towards the atmosphere of Earth. I had a lot of fun times with all these tracks, and I know y'all can do the same. Also, I have to admit, seeing there being a new credits sequence made me feel emotional...in a good way. It was like the end of a journey - _and it is._ Mad props to Nintendo for piecing together this masterpiece, and all y'all for riding along with them. It's been a real pleasure driving across these 48 tracks. I look forward to the distant future of Mario Kart.

This is one of the best pieces of music in Nintendo history. It's hard to say whether this is better than the original MK8 credits theme, they both have their pros and cons. But I think this one does a better job giving a Tour (pun intended) of the new songs in the game. And as a saxophonist, of course I love the Singapore Speedway solo. The Vancouver Velocity trumpet solo is also really great. It is cool how they took 2 of the most electronic sounding songs and put live solos over them. Also, everybody is saying goodbye to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and while that might be true for the devs, I don't think it is time for us to say goodbye yet. After 6 YEARS, we finally get to see and play everything this game has to offer.

This goes to show that Tour is part of the Mariokart family. And should be acknowledged as Mariokart 9.

[@generalcrab0009]

Absolutely agree

[@PixelShiftss]

1:13 uhhh WHY DIDNT NINJA HIDEAWAY SOUND LIKE THIS IN THE ACTUAL GAME OMG ITS BEAUTIFUL

[@ChiefMedicPururu]

To stay accurate to Tour.

[@Aktan_]

There hasn't been a greater ending to a game yet. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is gonna get nostalgic in a couple years

[@AdriftInVR]

So I began crying when I first got to Wii Rainbow Road, then teared up again as the MKTV highlight for the Spiny Cup showed Wii RR, and then when I heard the SNES Credits theme I was a mess. Then I cried again as the credits were almost over. Best 9 and a half years of Mario Kart.

[@papyrussemi2848]

Finally... Mario Kart 8 is over... Grand Theft Auto 5 is over... ...2014 is finally done.

[@radiantarchiver69]

So sad but happy to see it come to an end. I might not have played Tour much, but it is as much a Mario Kart like all the others. And this feels like the credits theme that it would have had. That Vancouver Velocity section though! The Mario Kart band better return for the next!

[@VancouverVelocityFan]

Thank you, you get it.

2:16 vancouver velocity fan is freaking out rn

Tbh this was my Mario Kart 9 experience. I remember being so mad that we didn’t get MK9 and just MK8 but with more. Just bought the game a week ago and I’ve finished the booster course today and I loved it. The courses were unfamiliar to me since I know they were from some other Kart game. (Same with MK8 back then where I was unfamiliar with some levels) and this course felt like another game. I was happy wiggler returned and new characters being added (would’ve liked Nabbit.) MK8 specifically was nostalgic to me I had a hard time connecting with this game again but the booster course reignited my spark for this game. Overall 25 dollars well spent. The Booster Course felt like an entire new experience. They could have added only 4 stages but they gave us more.

[@keebyfan37]

Man to think that MK8 is now 10 years old blows my mind. I can still vividly remember the Christmas morning where I first got my Wii U with MK8 pre-installed. The Wii U and MK8 was my first gaming experience outside of playing some games on the family PS3 or my old samsung tablet. I remember playing MK8 all the time. Even if I lost a lot I loved the hell out of this game. To think that the game not only got a substantial amount of content on Wii U, but got ported to switch as well was mind blowing in 2017. I remember being so hyped for the switch when I saw MK8 and Splatoon 2 were gonna be on there. Now its been 10 years since MK8 released and I'm practically a different person, yet I still have a huge soft spot for this game and the entire community around this game. I hope Nintendo can capture the magic of MK8 again with the next entry and make it just as impactful for the new generation as it was for me when I was a kid.

After 9 years, Mario Kart 8 has come to an end

[@BronzeSpaceComet]

god, that singapore speedway remix is heavenly

[@b3ckybot]

THIS IS FOR THE TOUR FANS IDC WE EARNED THIS MAN,,, ITS OUR TRACKS MUSIC,, IN THE CREDITS,, (also we didn’t get credits in tour LET ME HAVE THIS)

[@VancouverVelocityFan]

Yes

[@TheEpicPichu]

We may have reached the finish line of the BCP, but we shall never forget the starting line of the BCP, from when it was first announced, to people getting hyped over Coconut Mall, to those criticizing the Wave 1 graphics, to the datamines, to the overflow of predictions… thank you, Booster Course Pass. You’ve made an already amazing game even more amazing than ever before.

[@luigitime202]

The people following Mario Kart’s progress since Tour’s release in 2019 can finally rest. This song ends an era and it’s time to wait for whatever’s next.

[@MilkLadsForever]

I need a full version of that Berlin Byways remix, it would go so hard,

[@KrispyKrabby]

I got CHILLS listening to this. It's been such a long ride waiting for all the waves to drop, along with MK8's extended lifetime lol. What a fitting farewell! 😍

[@MarioMasterProductions]

NGL, wasn't expecting another credit song. Also, holy shit, I wasn't expecting so many composers for BCP.

[@pokemonfanserenafan6426]

This also the good bye to the Charles era of Mario kart

[@TacoLogan08]

HOLY SHIT THE NINJA HIDEAWAY SEGMENT IS FIRE!

[@Choerrykiss]

What a strong ending to a game man

[@agentogames]

The SNES credits theme 🥹

[@franmartin8646]

Now how in the hell can they possibly top this for the next MK? Because it's gonna feel real awkward going back to the regular 32 track rodeo next time

[@trgnf3393]

This is leaps and bounds ahead of base 8's credits lol

[@TobyNo1Awesomeness]

It wasn't just me fighting back tears when I first saw this, ig? This signifies the end of a massive era for many, here's to MK9

[@IsadoraGameOver]

*Essa música é simplesmente uma obra de arte, um verdadeiro presente pra quem é fã de Mario Kart e acompanhou a DLC até o fim* Mesmo com todos os problemas que a DLC tenha, essa foi uma incrível jornada.

[@dendrobium4831]

​@@IsadoraGameOver tem que falar em português mesmo, tem que reunir a comunidade brasileira de mario kart

[@milomsen]

the ninja hideaway part was so good DAMN

[@RiqMoney817]

This song feels like a send off to not only the Booster Course Pass DLC, but also to Mario Kart 8 as a whole. What an amazing decade-long journey it has been ❤️🚗

[@vgmaster02]

Coming back to listen to this with the news that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has now become Nintendo's best-selling standalone title (I say standalone because Wii Sports *technically* still beats it out, but 99% of Wii Sports sales are because of it being bundled with the Wii, which sold like crazy) Either way, celebrate the insane success MK8D has done.

[@kamsharkproductions8981]

This is literally the Smash 6 remix of thr Mario Kart Tour Medley. Change my mind.

[@prodKayblez]

3:19 "Hola! You seem to have caught me... Mid-Suavemente!"

[@quinnmcmurtrie8022]

What an amazing way to end an overall outstanding dlc. I hope you all had a good drive. See you next game.

[@itss_nin9249]

Brought tears to my eyes😭😭

[@calebm2004]

Can't wait for Kart Life's reaction to this!

[@Cafftys]
