Toad's Turnpike - Mario Kart 64 (Restored)

Playlist: • Mario Kart 64 (Restored)
This song was restored using the original source samples for each instrument (where possible). This means that the original synths and sample CDs used to create the game's soundtrack were tracked down, and then the source quality samples were applied to the original game's sequence data to produce a higher quality result (with a few creative liberties taken). I've tried to make it sound as close to the original as I can, though there may be some mistakes here or there.

I love how clear the bass is in this version.

[@mysticaxolotl8215]

Listening to this song with over the ears, that bass line is just 😍

[@HDRookie]

Best music in the MK series right here

[@alan-tairov]

what about n64 rainow road

[@HDRookie]

@@alan-tairov great, but not Turnpike.

[@alan-tairov]

@@HDRookie i think ur overrating it

[@JeremyCardinal-tf5mn]

No rookie is not overrating it he basically said that it's better than the 8 deluxe remix

[@Ajk8628.Reviews.]

I’d say Kalimari dessert and maple freeway alongside 3DS rainbow road and maple tree way are the best ones, plus toads factory,coconut mall in the terms of song with this being a strong 5th. But that’s just my opinion

[@KnottsBear-yTalesPreserved]

This song will always be my favorite Mario Kart 64 track. Anything Funk and City Pop-like will always get my attention lol

[@ireallylovebobwire]

didn’t expect you here sir, may you be the individual who claims madam wong?

[@josecarrilloii4036]

*_*F-Zero X_** style heavy metal*

[@songarakram]

This song is somehow super chill but super hype at the same time.

[@evanistephani]

It is exactly how I imagine driving here in real life would feel. Its just a turnpike, but the majesty of the city is still here. Its like visiting a famous city you've always wanted to see and, even though you're in some mundane area, its still totally magical to you

[@Deader87]

Best fan-made rendition of the best Mario Kart OST song ever!

[@ZombieManF]

The collection is finally complete!

[@ucros1912]

I honestly prefer this over MK8 version. Which is great as well but the original with the voices and the back and forth effect is unbeatable

[@hilariousskullnamedcatzo647]

Great restoration as always, makes my ears feel unplugged after days of listening to the compressed original

[@lunchbox997]

Literally my favorite track restored, thank you.

[@andrewschroy6368]

Play it at 1.25x speed, and I'm basically hearing the tune in Final Lap form! You did a great job restoring this.

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

Ah yes, Toad's Turnpike, but now even more smooth vaporwareish.

[@tailnowag8753]

really nice, really funky

[@neo12asmr]

The soud of the bass is nice.

[@junglisttt]

Listening to this to get ready for Stockholm marathon today 👊😀🍄🏁

[@JohnCuppi]

Amazing remake!! 😮

[@thegreatautismo224]

Including these songs in Mario Kart 64 HD would be awesome

[@sublimize]

clicked as soon as i saw it. great restoration!

[@Ohthatguy64]

sub apperance

[@theomuammar3772]

How did I not notice this? Also isn't this all of the tracks in this game now in the playlist? Good job, you deserve a lot :)

[@luke10198]

HEY DUDE IMPORTANT QUESTION: Where did you find the kurzweil and Yamaha vl1 vst for your nsmb restoration? I can’t find them anywhere online.

[@CloouMusic]

There aren't any. For the VL1 sitar sample, I used a recording of the patch from actual hardware (recorded by someone else since the VL1 is very rare and expensive). And none of the NSMB songs I've restored use the Kurzweil K2500, so I haven't needed any recordings from it.

[@grayhacer]

Even though it sounds astonishingly good I prefer the compressed version

[@dan74695]

The bass in this version though

[@madden8021]

I can totally see Emplemon using it in his future videos if there was an Extended version.

[@in4mus85]

Underrated track

[@hereisgreece]

That slap

[@joshuajiron4114]

This track is so New wave, synthpop or Japanese fusion jazz.

[@ctrlaltdestroy91]

mmm that bass tone is delicious

[@kevint.5712]

Cannot help but hear the horns from all the traffic , Especially that little white car! Talk about LOUD. LOVE listening to this one on the highway. It has to be said also, Toad's Kart ? Sounds Absolutely,Bloody, Awesome in this game. HOWLS like Mad, with almost an Inline 6 like intensity.

[@in4mus85]

Yeah you always knew when Toad was chasing you

[@SkarloeyRailway4]

YAY ITS HERE

[@ethanjones3]

the ghost bass guitar note is the best

[@Gruntilda-Winkybunion]

Thank you

[@Eg-Pan]

clean bass

[@valzdelbosque]

thanks

[@blackdog5186]

Dat BASS

[@tempgamefreakgaming]

Something about this restored version hits different when driving on the highway at night

[@Equalizer2922]

I really like this version but the compressed version hits different for some reaosn

[@pg9193]

you might also like "Traffic Jam" by Herb Alpert!

[@jesefranciscomurillomorales_]

That would be great for a new city tour track of Mario kart tour

[@TeanGreatCappy]

its about time you realized it. Dang you puzzle me why you took so long to know you did not finish 64 yet. But it was worth the wait for toads turnpike.

[@adrianendresen3102]

Reminds me of Fred by allan holdsworth

[@FonixVR_]

It sounds nice, but the bass doesn't sound right.

[@dlivernoche8958]

Sound like casiopea made it

[@harribo2005x]

Mario Kart Wii version.

[@mysticaxolotl8215]

?

[@ethanmerrikin1544]

Haha, yeah
