The Mario Kart 8 band should do a tour.

[@PhilipJFryII]

I would love to see that!!

[@KRATS8K]

They just did its called Mario kart tour

[@ghostretroplays2647]

KRATS8K haha so funny

[@extratifytoday1231]

Mario kart tour. DUH

[@blackasthesky]

I would definitely wanna see that.

[@Felipera_]

The bass lines are so sick in Mario kart 8

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

Felipe Pereira Almost Seinfeldian

[@perturbado55]

nintendo: how to combine successfully a chinese traditional instrument with a slap bass

[@KC0407]

Its my favorite song in the whole game besides big blue

[@OliyTC]

the mad men did it again six years later with autumn mountain battle theme from paper mario the origami king they can't keep getting away with this

[@zorromagico4534]

jazz

[@dantheman669]

Nintendo: Making slap bass and the Erhu sound awesome together.

[@Rosalina102798]

And I have to admit, though I'm a Playstation and XBOX fan, Nintendo DOES put out the best soundtracks. That, I can't deny.

[@Randallroks]

And games.

[@Rosalina102798]

Captain Falcon Eh... Yes. Yes, they mainly do.

[@fandomguy8025]

***** hmm this list is flawed super mario 3d world and paper mario sticker star aren't on this list silly you

[@fandomguy8025]

Sticker star has AWESOME music take a listen its mostly big band but bowser and jr have rock boss themes and 3d world started the new nintendo revolution of music! how did bowser's highway showdown not blow you away?

[@fandomguy8025]

ive had enough of people debating this sticker star is a good game but not for a paper mario game so that automatically makes it bad calm down and the music is AWESOME so at least love that

[@WigglyMalmsteam]

Guitar - Takashi Masuzaki (Dimension) Drums - Hiroyuki Noritake (T-Square) Veterans of Japanese jazz fusion since the 80s.

[@NerttheNert]

do you know where the bass player is from?

[@tomchannelle8386]

@@NerttheNert Bassist is Teppei Kawasaki, he also plays in the band Dimension quite frequently! He's also got a youtube channel :D

[@Thomas-ex6tp]

It’s kinda funny that T-Square who made the song that inspired the famous Super Mario Bros theme, is now working with Nintendo for Mario Kart music

[@vazarri86]

WOAH HE'S FROM T-SQUARE??? I'm disappointed I never knew

[@mario101395]

DAT BASSLINE IS INFECTIOUS

[@Memequeen23]

It's so juicy as well, it just satisfies me completely. This is why I love the bass and why it included in music the way it is today.

[@AllMightyKingBowser]

When I first this song I thought a woman was singing the melody the string instrument, the erhu, was playing. Now I find out it was an actual instrument instead.... I am mindblown by the beauty of this song. Gotta love chinese/japanese culture....

[@DrizzyEddie]

PinkNight ikr

[@JuLayLeeBee]

That erhu is absolutely stunning

[@BenjyBoom47]

Man the bird flying around the track is the coolest thing I've ever seen

[@FlorisVanLent]

Pleas release a DVD of the recording of the awesome Mario Kart 8 music!

[@shajita]

Sly Koopa Nah, he means a making-of DVD that goes through the process of making the Mario Kart 8 OST.

[@FlorisVanLent]

In the Mario Kart Direct we caught a glimpse of how the artists played stuff and I'd love more of that. It doesn't have to be an entire documentary (would also love that though). The music in Mario Kart 8 is so... real :P

[@leoma9596]

Me too, nintendo make a DvD soundtrack for the super mario 3d world , so i wish they make a DvD for the MK8.

[@dogman15]

Not all of the songs in Mario Kart 8 are played by a live band. Even in the songs that do use a live band, there are still a number of pre-recorded tracks that the instrumentalists seen here (drums, guitar, bass, violin, brass/horns, woodwinds, etc.) play along to. Such a hypothetical DVD would, if it showed anything else, need to show the composers working at their computers to program the MIDI tracks.

[@Kei-Lin]

I'm loving that bassist

[@PoolBoy314]

Odizzmo The Great that's bassist.

[@Zenith8896]

It's a really catch track, and the fact it's played live makes it even better!

[@CometX-ing]

I love how well the erhu fits in this.

[@boricua9071]

Ohhhh my lawd that bass line boy. That bass player got some soul in him!!

[@LyndanTylor]

Incredible. Nintendo = Quality.

[@skateboardturtle]

How this comment has aged

[@JeremyBX]

This is like the music video you always get when you buy a movie on DVD.

[@MaycolAlvarez]

Simplemente hermoso, definitivamente una pieza musical perfecta para ambientar una espectacular pista.

[@screenwatcher949]

Take note America, this is what skill looks like.

[@ThunderBulb]

If you're implying that America doesn't have skilled musicians you've CLEARLY not been looking hard enough.

[@Cilverkid456]

Have you seen the crap that Americans call music lately? Bieber? 1D? Young Thug?

[@ThunderBulb]

Cilverkid520 Yeah, but you can choose to ignore that and discover awesome bands like, the melvins, red fang, foo fighters, sound garden ect ect. There has and always be bad "company made" music (it's just as bad here in negland too) but you have to go out of your way to find the good stuff if you enjoy it :D

[@David-jg9ts]

Cilverkid520 Bieber is Canadian (and should stay in Canada) and 1 Direction is British. Why do you single out just Americans? There are plenty of Americans who have musical talent. They just aren't given as much attention as these crappy singers.

[@screenwatcher949]

***** Would you like to edit my comment to be more offensive?

[@venomsnakegame]

I can listen to that guitar all day

[@DarkBusterXYZ]

This is how DLC is done!

[@Smooth17727]

This has to be one of the best tunes in gaming. Its up there with WoW tunes.

[@Rosalina102798]

Wow. Just... wow. The soundtrack for this DLC pack is phenomenal.

[@grimoirehunter9688]

I hope you do more videos like this, its so awesome!!

[@HydraHunterMkII]

I love that its a heavily remixed version of chai kingdom from super mario land

[@Shankovich]

Love Nintendo showing off the musicians behind the scenes!! Please give us a full orchestral score for the next Legend of Zelda game, it more than deserves it! (And when I say full orchestral score, I really mean it: a full modern!)

[@TomoyoYumemi]

They already did with skywordsword.

[@Shankovich]

It wasn't full, you can see it in the videos.

[@Shankovich]

***** It wasn't full, you can see it in the videos.

[@TomoyoYumemi]

I'm not getting you, perhaps only a few songs where show on those vids but a CD was included with the game, which was entirely orchestra, and even several Symphony of the Goddesses concerts were held around the world.

[@AJR-zg2py]

That bass player... awesome :)

[@cpchiu3620]

The perfect mix of traditional and rock music! Congrats Nintendo

[@DustyMusician]

Nintendo music just keeps getting better and better!

[@Shankovich]

Also I just love this guitar player, guy looks the part so much. Rock on man!

[@pistonpkm]

Very good job. The music in this track captures its theme perfectly.

[@metashrew]

There's just so much funk hidden under the surface of this track. All of it could easily be missed by the average listener.

[@BizerkPixel]

I'm feelin' the Dragon Road Day music from Sonic Unleashed.

[@gamekiller64]

Exactly! I get that vibe too.

[@321Tdog]

I feel like they had a bit of a name swap lol,since you race on roads and there was a lot drifting in unleashed

[@aquashieldYT]

That's all I can think of when I play this track. (Nice pic btw lol)

[@creatressanna8714]

I'm thinking Hands on Hall partner. ;)

[@aquashieldYT]

Joshep Rubi Best troll 10/10

[@Lenwardo]

loving the diversity of instruments!

[@scoobydoo1370]

Take note CoD, this is DLC done right. Great music, epic courses, "show me ya moves". It's great!

[@Mr_Pxtty]

I swear to gawd I thought this was already on the game . I forgot until i looked at the cups

[@SuperSkyler21]

Nice! Keep these music videos coming Nintendo.

[@SuperFlameRunner]

I knew there was something about this track's song I loved so much when I first played it...this video sums it all up.

[@thepotatobredrblx1404]

For some reason, I feel like theres just perfect timing and choreography here.

[@TanteiGH]

This has become one of my favourite Mario Kart stages of all time! THANK YOU, NINTENDO!!! ~~~the music~~~

[@movedaccounttundraapollo6153]

Me when the course came out: COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL COLL Me when I saw this video: YES YES YES YES YES YES YES Me when I played the course: NO NO NO NO NO NO Me when I played the course on 200cc: *NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE*

[@EllTheBob]

Tundra the YoshiWolf course is a really weird word for map or race track

[@DustyMusician]

That bassist tho

[@Gamerdynasty4ever]

I love the music! I can't wait to play the course!

[@Feuerbluete]

This. Is. Awesome! I love this soundtrack!

[@yoshieggs9210]

I really like the idea of showning live the music amd It would be nice to have more common these videos.

[@XxAngiexXRPI]

I love that instrument at 0:13 I don't know the name of it, but I hear it in the Legend of Korra A LOT. Also......SLAP BASS! I

[@thenumnums]

erhu

[@DeezNutz-pg9io]

AEspurr lol no

[@kickassssnation027]

The erhu exemplifies this track as well as the good support of the shamisen.

[@benyoung8817]

I NEED THIS SOUNDTRACK!!!

[@wesleydamaschino8047]

That erhu, though.

[@OBigCheese]

very cool, love the inside look

[@Babablimpsy]

THIS HAS NO RIGHT TO BE THIS FIRE

[@joeldomkus828]

[@aldocardona520]

Dios santo ! He jugado tanto esa pista y hasta hoy la sumo a mis favoritas de Nintendo. Es algo dificil mientras jugas disfrutar este manjar auditivo.

[@dodopod]

Thanks for listing the instruments at the end. I never knew what the erhu was called.

[@kamemaster3396]

I love this song

[@MF_RH_Billy1031]

This is one of my favourie music I used it for the background music of a trip memory video!!!

[@dreamgzer]

PLEASE MORE OF THESE SOUNDTRACK VIDEOS FOR ALL UR GAMES

[@Jenoblade]

Love it!

[@joelgabriel]

OMGGGG!! Beautiful!

[@nicholaslull1415]

Presenting my favorite song from Mario kart eight

[@PauloCG-]

This music is a remix of Chai Kingdom from Super Mario Land

[@VoltageMan567]

Not at all

[@abc2390986]

Puppy XP Both tracks have some parts that are somewhat based of an Erhu classic "Kangding Love Song", which is the most well known Erhu pieces and usually features in tons of modern music creations.

[@abesters2618]

Best mario kart song. Hands down

[@thehouse866]

THIS IS SO COOL

[@trialbystone2532]

Everyone I see in this video is just killing it.

[@JCGROOVEZ]

[@ejtamayo5317]

[@yrockerboy]

IKR

[@Gamerdynasty4ever]

It is the best course i have ever seen!

[@BogzoneFodyBractal]

This song is so catchy!

[@Lawlietftw30]

This makes me actually like the music more.

[@felipemacknight]

I think a Mario Kart 8 soundtrack would be a fantastic Club Nintendo reward, and the discs could actually contain these live performances from the studio when you played them on a DVD player or even the Wii U.

[@swaggazillasam3461]

awesome

[@Spawnwick_Boseman446]

My favorite track(s)

[@MariaGarcia-im6nn]

Nintendo makes awesome music them any other musician I mean I would to see them live mute city dragon drift away.

[@TheKfeliciano2]

[@PedroMansilhaBranco]

Nice heru Nintendo, Mario kart 8 is an awsome game just like the musics!

[@JohnSmith12648]

Nintendo put these dudes on KZbin but not the others

[@AndrewMated]

This music is awesome! It sounds like something out of Shenmue.

[@321Tdog]

I love Erhu music in video games

[@lancecunningham4152]

Better than the charts

[@aldocardona520]

No se como se llama ese instrumento tan unico que tocan, pero emula a una bella dama tararenando con su voz ❤
