N64 Rainbow Road - Mario Kart 8 Music Extended

[Mikau]

Whoever they had arrange this track is a genius. Seriously, they NAILED the mood for this track and knew all the sweet spots to hit to give it so much emotion. Incredible.

[GabeV]

I love how it opens with the synth/flute-like instrument from the original to give a sense of familiarity, then it just blasts you with a beautiful orchestral remix that just seems to say, “Look how far we’ve come since then.”

[bowser]

That feeling when the blue shell hits after you finish the race

[JD-fgdz]

I think this is a worthy successor the the N64's version

[MarvLink]

Mr. Iwata is the train conductor, flying across this track as we fiercely race through Rainbow Road :') Omg I just made myself cry lol

[imaperson]

I don't know why but anytime I hear this version I have this sense of emotion and it makes me want to cry not from sadness but from joy

[jaChannel]

those first notes hits me with nostalgia like nothing else, bring tears to my eyes

[RomanMcMillan]

0:53 This part of the song really hits imo

Rainbow Road 64 is easily my favorite Rainbow Road. Just enough guard rails where its safe-ish but you still run the risk of falling off, interesting hazards, a train riding a railroad of starlight supplying coins, fireworks lighting the sky like its 1999, fucking STELLAR music, and coming from the first Mario Kart I've ever played. Sure, its a shame they could never get the length of races in this track right (i think 2 laps would be perfect), but I still think its the best among the Rainbow Roads.

[Luke.Willey]

The best part of this course is the sound of the train. Combined with this amazing music gives me chills everytime.

Listening to this on the bus after my very last day of school... it feels like the end of the movie, it makes me feel so accomplished, I've finally made it through, and I've come a long way.

[megasean]

You can tell the music team were having the time of their lives making this and every other song in Mario Kart 8.

[cesarvargas]

Original: A heartfelt goodbye, a bittersweet final song.
MK8 remix: Cut off the sadness! We have accomplished so much... Let's fucking celebrate!

[michaelbreckshot]

I still have Mario Kart 64. Hearing this just makes me cry out of memory of my childhood

[mongoosecavern]

I cannot emphasize enough how fantastic the OST for MK8/D is. This is the song that bursts the most life in me ready to face the track.

[Lennyy]

Driving down the interstate at night with this on has been one the weirdly more magical times in life for me. I get more focused just trying to zoom past every one, at a reasonable speed of course.

[thealaskanbascan]

Love the finale vibe from this song. Cause it's the last race in a cup.

[SleepyKonii]

I remember when i first heard this, i unironically called this "Hoenn Road" because of the overuse of Trumpets

[crimsonclamoris]

I always want to play this track in mario kart 8 deluxe because of how good the freaking music is.

[ericl]

I am in the process of studying for my final exams for my CPA and this song really pumps you up to want to finish strong and get to the finish line!
