Klassy AF.

You should've done something special for the last lap.

Klassy AF. You should've done something special for the last lap.

I was going to have a post race song, but just ran out of time! I usually cut up my tracks more, but this was a race against the clock!

I love the use of the mario kart sound effects, especially the sound of the shell hitting a player as a percussive element. Perfectly captures the essence of mariokart, great job

Keeping it classy, man. Awesome production; they should hire you for the next MK soundtrack

Yes, this is awesome.  Everything about this works so well.

You're so good at picking a theme and then shaping absolutely everything about the tune to communicate what you want to. 10/10.

I really wanted to have a few other elements, like a total wipe-out... too many last minute ideas and not enough time!
I wish inspiration came earlier in the week! Wasn't going for mario kart exactly, more like some random kart klone!

I'll be sure to ask Mr. Miyamoto next time I see him! I really dig the last mario kart 8 deluxe ost, lots of really funky brass. I had fun making these sytrus trumpets, but I have been planning on doing something a little bit more realistic in the future.

I'm glad it sounds that way! This was one of those classic "spend 90% of your time making a sytrus bass patch" followed by the mandatory "throw away the 7% that you wrote" then the inevitable "totally go 180 and do a high energy imaginary race game sound track for the last 3%" followed by the "spending the last 10 minutes making unnecessary gui sfx before even listening to the song all the way through" situations. Luckily I was able to reuse the scrapped song for the "menu" intro, which in retrospect is probably what I should of finished in the first place. this is the song that was in my head when i was showering, so I'm sticking to it! Fun-fact: I always have my phone recorder ready to record in the shower because that is literally the best place to write.

This is klassy, and dare I say bordering on swanky. The car sounds and sweeping glissandos and pitch bends are so classic! Definitely feeling like I'm in a race.  This is pretty damn amazing!!! Supa fun!!

It's been ages since I've played Mario Kart, but the music and gifs are giving me serious flashbacks in a good way.

Yeah, these days everyone is so deep into animal crossing, we almost collectively forgot about other games!
