Ok, I'll check it out. You probably have to install a Homebrew though.

By the way, Mario Kart 7 has my favorite Rainbow Road theme of all. The next one would be N64 (from which MK7 RR theme is based on) and the original SNES one. Also, the MK7 one was cool because when you moved down to the bottom part of the track at some points, the music changed a bit, like Final Fantasy 6 final boss as you progressed or Zelda OoT overworld.

I, IMHO, find this RR tune is the worst. MK7 has a not-so-good music direction (funky instruments, curious music choices) and this RR's is fine by what it is (N64's remix) but don't have the "Hello, you're KARTING IN SPACE" feeling like the NGC's or the Wii's

I think the reason why I like it more is because of how melodic it is, which is a major criteria I look at when listening to music. That said, I think that song would have been better in the N64 Rainbow Road, because it seems more suited for longer RR tracks.

On a side note, does anyone know if the N64 RR shortcut at the start of the track still works in the Wii U remake? I searched Google and found no relevant results about this.

Another issue I got with MK8 is how they got rid of traditional battle mode maps and replaced that mode with standard races. It takes forever to find opponents on the track >.< plus battle arenas were fun with all the random koopa shells bouncing everywhere.

I just got Double Dash for my little bro for his birthday

I was raised on super circuit, so I have to pick that one. It's so much fun. I remember one long car trip where I played it non stop. Turns out the car trip was a 10 hour ride, so that's pretty long.

u/Dream of Omnimaga July 30, 2015, 01:12:31 AM

Is there a way on the GBA game to slow down turning around? left and right arrows are just overly sensitive for me. I think they wanted to do like SUper Mario Kart, but due to how slippery karts were in that one, they tried to fix it in MKSS by making turning faster.

By the way does anyone sometimes play MK with cheats, not to win but to alter the gameplay? Because I found this video hilarious, especially Rainbow Road XD

Also who would like if infinite blue shells became an item?

Also MK64 had one of the funniest 4th place ending XD

On a side note, I am unsure if this is staged but otherwise this is a very epic comeback from last position at the end XD (I know he used bullet bill but he was so far behind in the first place)

Also I wish that there was an option to play the original 3DS and the remake of the N64 RR tracks with 3 laps. Currently, they're just a single lap split into three sections. While they would be extremely long in 3 laps, having the option would be nice.

Holyc.

u/Dream of Omnimaga September 06, 2015, 07:38:25 PM

Yep. I mean, he spent the first 80% of the race sucking and goofing around in the custom spots the map author added (eg Minecraft), falling to last place and way behind, then at the very end he manages to reach 1st place. XD
