I mean...it's every song in Mario Kart haha

The fact that the lowest ranked Wii song’s word was merely “short” shows how solid the OST for MK Wii was
And yet moo moo meadows is great
Subjective tbh, even if majorly true
most of them are just underwhelming, and when it isn't, it is because it is a remix
Even though Mario kart Wii is way overrated it’s ost it’s nice
It was truly epic
The fact that he thought up new words for every song is a challenge in itself
True
Effordvesent
Never heard of ghat word ever
The fact that he got so many wrong is a challenge in itself
He used classic twice
And he use unforgettable 3 times I think
Toad's Factory as a whole is underappreciated, one of the most special themes alongside a really neat idea and execution
Toads factory isnt under appreciated everyone loves it
Toads factory top 5 at minimum
@@shmelly814 I swear
Toads factory is like top 5 in how much the mk community likes it. It’s certainly not underappreciated
I almost died when I read this comment. 💀 There's no way that track or song is even remotely underappreciated.
really enjoyed this take on the ranking format. when i disagreed with placings on the list, more often than not, i couldn't get that upset at a one word description rather than a few sentences making pointed judgements of the quality, which made it feel like a celebration of the music rather than a critique.
Thank you! Music is very subjective, so everyone is gone have different opinions, but I’m glad you enjoyed it! :)
I actually really like the frantic, almost overwhelming songs, like Banshee Boardwalk and Grumble Volcano, because they bear down on you so much. Admittedly, Ninja Hideaway does this concept much better, but it feels repetitive to me.
Same, I really feel they make me more invested in the race. Like there is a sense of urgency.
you stole my name :(
same
Repetitive?
@@thomasthompson1263 nobody stole anybody's name and if one _did_ it'd be purely coincidental.
I’d agree that DS’s Shroom Ridge isn’t much more than “Optimistic”, but MK8 Deluxe’s rendition of Shroom Ridge is easily my favorite theme in any Mario kart game. I’d describe it as “Exhilarating”!
They did improve it a lot in MK8! :)
@@GWallPro music park is the best no lie
That remix is the best part of the dlc
@@GWallPro i actually am surprised you labeled ALL the MK8 music as Switch-even though it originated on the WiiU.
@@GWallProno
I love how most of the words are so unexpected yet so accurate. The gravitas he delivers them with makes it ten times better.
Wow that’s a really nice compliment! Thank you so much!! :)
Honestly this just made me realise how good Mario Kart music is on the whole.
Putting Waluigi Pinball at #50 is still a crime tho
I think Nintendo just overall understands that music is a huge factor in nostalgia and general enjoyment of games. Mario galaxy, paper Mario, smash bros, Wii sports, donkey Kong, the list goes on of games where the majority of music is either memorable, enjoyable or both.
I'm honestly surprised at how drastically different our tastes in MK music are! My top choices would include Cloudtop Cruise, Toad Harbor, Dolphin Shoals, Rock Rock Mountain, and Bangkok Rush. I'm very fond of the older music as well, but I tend to prefer the newer stuff. I would love to make a complete ranking myself, but also including the battle arenas and MK8DX arrangements! I can already say up front that the top spots would be ALL MK8DX lmao
Yup that MK8 orchestra just hits different 😍
Bangkok? 🤨
@@Bakedbeans780 👀👀😳😳🤨🤨🤯🤯⛔️⛔️🅿️🅿️🗿🗿🤓🤓🥵🥵🥶🥶
@Obito Uchiha absolutely another banger, easily the best course in the whole series imo
As soon as I saw Rock, I approved
Damn, I actually disagree with a lot of this, normally I agree with these kinds of lists. Like I actually like GBA Circuit, Luigi’s Mansion, Shy Guy Bazaar, Los Angeles Laps, and Toad’s Turnpike
That’s totally fine! And thank you for actually listing some tracks that you like instead of just saying you disagree/disliked my list. It’s fun to see some of the songs you all like too even if they’re vastly different from my list
I was suprised when he put Shy Guy Bazaar as unrecognizable
@@jawad.p yeah what
@@jawad.p and boo lake as unsettling
Putting n64 bowsers castle that low is a crime
Shy Guy Bazaar is the type of song that grows on you with time, when you listen to the final lap version you understand what they were going for with the melody, and then as you race again in that track you appreciate the regular version more.
I'm glad I found this video. I always love to see people appreciate Mario Karts music!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it :)
hey nintendo wolf, how are you buddy?
@@LuisWiiTorres Hey been a while since I've seen you
@@Lordbeerus0901 yeah, its been a while
He was Not appreciating Any of it
I love the Double Dash and DS soundtrack though.
My favorite song of all is Mushroom City. It's catchy, and somehow is the most "Mario Kart-ish" song in the series (along with the DS remake of Choco Mountain)
Mushroom City is without a doubt one of the most underrated tracks! Its literally one of the 4 remaining Double Dash recourses to make a return, and I can say with the upmost confidence, I hope it returns in the DLC more specifically wave 2.
@@Noah-A1634 I love Mushroom City/Bridge. I hope it comes back for DLC in MK8DX!
I can’t be the only person who likes the Mushroom Bridge arrangement from DS better than the one from GCN, but that might be nostalgia bias coming in, as I never played Double Dash when I was younger, and I poured countless hours into DS.
@@nowheregiirl8115 Pffft same thing!
@@nowheregiirl8115
I actually played DS way before I played Double Dash. But ever since I heard the GCN original, I actually kinda liked that one better. Probably because of MKDS console limitations.
I LOVE how high you put Neo Bowser City. It's such a mesmerizing and calming song and it's a shame it hasn't gotten more love 😔
It really is a great song!
@@GWallPro you got me to enjoy Sydney sprint now.
MK8DX has been so succesful that people forget the game and tracks are initially from the Wii U (not that unexpected tbh)
If he hadn't called Dolphin Shoals "jazzy" I probably would have facepalmed.
Bro that was one of only 2 I guessed right
How people forget about Neo Bowser City (Koopa City)?
It's one of the best tracks in all of Mario Kart and it's sound hits well
Also fun fact about neo bowser city that makes it better imo, it’s technically a mash up between N64 toads turnpike, Wii Circuit theme and the 7’s Main theme, since all of these songs can be found on neo bowser city, pretty insane
Neo Bowser City is my favorite track in 8 and possibly the entire series as a whole, it’s just really good
What
It really wasn't that great of a course
agreed
@Subremedy* the salt
I love how unpredictable the list was! Also never been so hyped for someone to use big brain words before.
Haha thank you so much I really appreciate that! :)
You can be saying some random adjectives that don’t make sense at all but ill still be blown away by your vocabulary
I don’t know why, but I just love Shy Guy Beach/Cheep Cheep Island, especially on the latter. It feels so laidback and almost feels too good for a Mario Kart Game. It kind of takes me back to simpler times, and I think that’s why I love it.
Plus I’m a suckler for anything with Sunsets so that probably has something to do with it.
omg same
Fun fact, it's actually a slightly modified version of the Theme From "A Summer Place" by Percy Faith and his Orchestra from 1959.
@@kingboo5191 I knew it sounded familiar
@@kingboo5191 Thank you! I always thought they sounded alike
@@donniet5379 No problem
Super circuit tracks are criminally underrated
I dislike it when people say that gba osts are bad, but games like mario kart super circuit and mother 3 will prove you wrong :)
And Sonic advance 2&3
also Crash Nitro Kart GBA
The main problem with MKGBA is the sound chip of the console, you get use to it but it doesn't do justice to the compositions, that's why when GBA tracks get remaked with remixed music they sound so good.
@@Geneolgia i have an actual gba sp and the games i mentioned on there still sound amazing when being played
My point is that the console can output great sound, people just didn’t know how
(Im looking at you, mother 1+2)
@@Recarsonated Oh I agree I didn't mind the sound back then when I played with the actual console, maybe it is because I mainly use emulators nowadays so the quality of the sound could be affected by that.
missed opportunity to call mushroom gorge “Gorgeous”
Oohhhh that’s a GOOD one!!
Shy Guy Falls is my absolute favorite track in all of Mario Kart. The song is equally great.
It really is the cream of the crop!
Thanks so much for including Tour in this. Most people wouldn’t consider it in the list as they don’t believe it’s canon with the rest of the Mario kart franchise but I’m glad you embraced it and actually enjoyed most of the songs! Of course we all have different opinions on all the songs and each persons ranking would be different but I definitely respect this
Aye thank you so much I really appreciate that! The Tour OSTs are too good not to include!
I don't think Tour is canon but I'd definitely include their OST if I made a video like this. Tour is just underrated and underappreciated, but I don't think it's really a mainstream game either.
@@Jordi6304 I wouldn’t say it’s “canon” per say in a way of saying it’s Mario kart 9, but I’d definitely say it’s part of the series. This was basically confirmed when the booster pass was released and now that MK8 and Tour share tracks we can say it’s a part of the games series. I’d say Mobile is the same as a portable device like the DS/3DS except mobile is now a platform that allows Addition content through transactions, same with the switch and the booster pass being an available add on. 😊
@@Jordi6304 its overrated, mobile games suck
@@nights8672 no its not, consider the """ported""" tracks to be new tracks instead
Mario kart 7’s paranha plant slide song is my favorite
Berlin Byways is my favorite, everyone was expecting stereotypical German music when that track was announced but they absolutely knocked it out of the park instead. They had no business making that song so grandiose but they did!
It is ridiculously good and I’m glad not many people here are arguing that 🔥
Honestly it’s overrated, too overly techno if that makes sense
The combination of like club rave music and orchestra didn’t really hit for me
Wassup
Para nada, actualmente la mejor musica rave y el mejor techno se originan en Alemania o son de Alemania, la cancion le queda como anillo al dedo a la pista
Alternative title: Flexing with my vocabulary while listening to Mario kart music
A lot of the Mario Kart 8 tracks hit hard! But I find myself missing the funkiness that Mario Kart Wii music had- they went NUTS with the synth hahaha
Finally, someone ranking Moonview Highway as high as it deserves.
the mk8 version goes too hard
@@decaldo AGREED
I have it ranked 7th in my ranking (Overall track quality that is, soundtrack would absolutely be in my top 5 for Mario Kart Wii)
Okay I was just waiting for a "baguette" for Paris promenade but Belle just make me laugh so hard
I was honestly gonna guess "waltzy" or something like that
When you’re gliding in Thwomp Ruins, the glint of the sun and all of the vibrant colors feels so magical, with the music creating so much more of a vibe during that section.
That's an interesting top here! Most of the ~30 bottom tier songs would be the same for me, but it would be very different for the top ones! My number 1 is Sky Garden because of how catchy and upbeat it is, and I would also put up there Shroom Ridge, Cheese Land, Delfino Square and Berlin Byways!
Thanks for watching I really appreciate it! :)
The Berlin Byways reminds me so much of the tecno styled music Tekken games have. Why is it that Mario Kart music can wake so much nostalgia inside me, I almost started crying fsr lmao.
Berlin Byways really has legendary music
Whoever is using the Black B-Dasher for the Tour clips, I salute you, fellow Black B-Dasher enjoyer.
Loved this video! It was nice to see something like this pop up on my recommended. I think I speak for everyone when I say we wanna see the same kind of video for the retro tracks!
I can potentially try the retro tracks!
I’m really really glad you’ve put Tour tracks in here as well. Sure they may not count as "Mainline" tracks, but they’re seriously too good to pass up!
Exactly!!
Its criminal that he called waluigi pinball overrated but not coconut mall.
They are both overrated
Thumbnail game is on point. I was ready to commit murder after seeing someone even dare to pair Coconut Mall with "overrated" and I watched the whole video
Waluigi Pinball is an Amazing Song, i would be mad about it being “Overrated” however compared to the amount if Mario Kart songs that are underrated Waluigi Pinball gets way more attention than is needed, good song but by definition it is technically Overrated
This video goes to show me how much Mario Kart Sucer Circuit's soundtrack is really underrated. Lakeside Park has become a hidden gem for me, along with one of my personal favorites, Bowser's Castle. Definitely interesting tastes though, I'm definitely nostalgic towards mario kart wii's music and probably would have most of it (excluding probably grumble volcano and mushroom gorge) over stuff like n64 koopa beach.
I am gonna second MKSC being underrated, especially Lakeside Park. I find that Lakeside Park is most deserving of "groovy," and I would place Shy Guy Beach pretty high and say it is "nostalgic."
I feel like Waluigi Stadium/Wario Colosseum, Koopa Cape, and Airship Fortress should be much higher than they were placed, top 40 at least
I like how you not only ranked them by how good they are, but also how much they fit the track they’re in.
RITZ GAMESSSS
A lot of these I really like, but one my all time favorites in this list has gotta be the Shy Guy Beach/Cheep Cheep Island song. I think it's really neat how they took the Theme From "A Summer Place," (by Percy Faith and his Orchestra) modified it a bit, and used it for the courses. Really clever and it re-introduces an old song from 1959 into the modern era.
REALLY AMAZING VIDEO!!! I really wish N64 Bowsers Castle and Wii Rainbow Road were higher but I totally respect your opinion! Most of these MK songs are really great so thank you so much for this video 😁😁👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Remember it’s not about how good the song is in terms of taste and style, but about the delivery it has with the atmosphere of the course, it must give the emotion to have it settle perfectly to make the player feel a part of the course
Riverside Park was done so so dirty in this. It’s worse than Banshee Boardwalk, Ghost Valley, DK’s Jungle Parkway, and more?
This is probably one of the most iteresting video i've evr watched
describing something using only one word can be extremely difficult yet you appear to do it so effortlessly ( even though it probably took you a lot of time )
I will definetely be coming back to this video if i ever have writer's block
Wow that’s so cool to hear!! Thank you very much for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it! :)
I love this list, it's always a jam to revisit Mario Kart soundtracks
So great to see some love for the Super Circuit soundtrack, didn't expect a GBA track to be number 2 and I'm very happy with that. Super Circuit needs more love!
You just can’t NOT bop your head every time you hear cheese land 🔥
says the one with anime pfp
@@jonathanpermutation very useful comment, adds so much to the discussion, thank you.
1:00 As someone who has lived in Los Angeles my whole life, I completely agree. I feel like that song is not an accurate representation of my city because if the course takes place in Venice/Santa Monica, it should have music you'd hear from beachside buskers in Venice/Santa Monica, not this mess that I can't figure out a part of LA that it corresponds to!
Good to hear from someone actually from LA! I’ve never been but it’s always shown off all across digital media and I just felt like the song didn’t fit at all
Such a fun concept executed perfectly. Great video!
Singapore Speedway’s theme is so funky, It’s kinda shocking that Funky Kong doesn’t get a frenzy on it.
Because Vacation Luigi’s better!*
* in my opinion. I classified Funky Kong as overused and Luigi as the better hero than Mario.
Apart from Mt. Wario, Daisy Ciruit and Maple Treeway being too low the list was suprisingly impressive. Respect for listening to all the tracks and making up a new word for each!
I'm glad this video was recommended to me, your energy is great. Subscribed.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! :)
honestly this franchise has had such good music all around that even the bottom spots are at least B tier in quality
Shroom Ridge, Berlin Byways and , of course, Waluigi Pinball are my favourites
Can't trick me, I see you using mostly shortcuts/ultra shortcuts for most of the clips.
And as such I'm proud of you.
Hahaha aye noticing the fine details, I like it! Thank you :)
thanks now imma look up all the tracks that i had forgotten about for years
>clickbait thumbnail, titling Coconut Mall as “overrated” which is completely true
>proceeds to praise Coconut Mall in the video
>calls Waluigi Pinball, an actually decent song overrated instead
?!?
I was just happy to see Moonview Highway up so high. I always felt that song was underrated.
I had to make sure people knew how good this one is!
Have you ever grown so attached to a piece of music, and you can’t explain why? That’s how I feel about Choco Mountain. I can’t explain why I love it as much as I do; I just do. Great video by the way. I was really impressed with all the adjectives you were able to apply here (my favorite probably being serendipitous).
Oh yes that happens a lot with Mario Kart music!
I’m that way with rock rock mountain
Same for me with dolphin shoals
Toads Factory here
Guessed he'd say Cosmic for Wii Rainbow Road, am proud of myself lol
Awesome video dude, hit the nail on the head lots of times
I love how you bop your head more and more throughout the rankings lol
The songs just got progressively more and more Head bopping !!
Tour is easily my favourite Mario Kart soundtrack, the sheer variety is insane and every single theme hits.
Especially Singapore Speedway and Vancouver Velocity. I really wanna visit those places for the music alone. (Which doesn't even make sense)
Tour soundtrack is a hidden gem 😍
@@GWallPro Tour in general in a hidden gem.
@@JustJack2005 yeah Tour is way better than most people think ! the musics are one reason why
@@JustJack2005 because all hate the indie design

Out of all 123 songs, I guessed the correct word one single time. :))
Shy Guy Falls is indeed perfect.
Loved the video. Really engaging.
Thank you so much I really appreciate that!! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Delfino Square, Shroom Ridge, Coconut Mall, Maple Treeway, Sunset Wilds, Daisy Circuit , and Sherbet Land are among the best by far.
NOOOO DON'T EVER DISRESPECT WALUIGI PINBALL
The fact that Sydney Sprint and DK Summit are my favs and they are 38 and 37
This video makes me realize I need to increase my vocabulary
Notice how it barely took him that long to start saying good things about these tracks? Shows how amazing Mario Kart's soundtrack is!!
Yes!! The overall soundtrack is completely incredible!! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@GWallPro Of course I did, the more Mario Kart videos the better! Thank you!! 😊
Mario Kart Tour has say most favourite music out of any other Mario Kart and it needs to be appreciated more and I glad you liked most of them
This entire idea is really funny to me for some reason great video 👍
Thank you so much that means a lot!!
Snow Land, Mushroom gorge, New York minute and Mario circuit SNES are all right next to each other and are all going to wave 2!
Gabe: *Ranking all 123 Mario Kart songs with one word*
1:07 “It’s underwhelming”
Since there weren't any battle courses in this video, i just wanted to say that the most underrated mario kart song is Funky Stadium from MK Wii.
That was my favorite battle map in wii
Thwomp desert is better. Nobody would even like funky stadium if it weren’t themed around funky Kong
@@zanmolecules4105 The ramps are so much fun though. plus, it's big an open meaning green shell are good. anyway, there all really good maps and honestly does matter which like best.
@@zanmolecules4105 Thwomp Desert is fun too ngl. I also like Cookie Land and Chain Chomp Roulette.
The fact that everyone comes up with different words for each song is so cool. There was only 1 song that I said the same word as you which was adventurous for sunset wilds
oh god i learnt some many new words, your words choice are really good
Thank you!
i actually love the Twisted Mansion theme, i think it’s done really well to fit the theme of that whole track
and i appreciate your appreciation for Hyrule Circuit
Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks for telling us that literally every good song was bad or boring, it's always nice to see an unbiased, logical opinion
just say you don’t agree
Keyword: OPINION
@@NunnyNugget That means nothing. Opinions can be both unbiased and logical.
i feel like a lot of these lists have some of the more 'popular' choices near the top, so it's nice to see some much lesser talked about songs in the top three, some unexpected but welcome picks!
I’ll take it! I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!! :)
Ice ice outpost being exactly one spot higher than Bowser’s Castle makes me want to throw a chair
I must day the music for the Tour Tracks are really good! Tokyo Blur, Vancouver Velocity, & Berlin Byways are a few of my favorites.
Yesss they went crazy on the tour soundtrack for some reason 🔥
@@GWallPro Idk who was in the studio but he deserves a grammy
@@jaysimone they really do!
The Mariokart soundtrack is so good, out of the 116 or so soundtracks, only 20 at most are stinkers, maybe even less.
Facts! This was incredibly hard to rank haha
@@GWallPro I would agree, it gets especially hard when you are down to tracks like those from Mariokart Wii and the Rainbow Road tracks.
Managed to predict 2 of them while watching, I'mso happy lol, this was such a cool video
Aye thanks so much for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it! :)
I cannot tell you how many times I have watched your very descriptive points all the way through. Thanks for giving Tokyo Blur and Ice Ice Outpost the love they deserve. Shy Guy Falls was an interesting choice for #1, one of my favorites as well. (Though I don't understand your reasoning for London Loop, I agree with everything else).
Could you rank all the battle course music using only one word?
I cannot tell you how many times Paris just screwed me up because I didn’t know which way to go (despite the arrows). I love this video btw
Yeah it takes some getting used to haha, but thanks for watching I appreciate it! :)
@@GWallPro :)
Tbh I find Coconut mall to be iconic because how popular it is 😂
Most of music I like most I'd from the Wii. Although some of these were nostalgic because I had MK DS for my 3DS
The fact that you have Cheese Land up so high is...well...hell yeah.
Sweet Sweet Canyon is definitely one of my favourite underrated MK song, it's just lighthearted and fun to listen to
The rankings of Shy Guy Bazaar and Los Angeles Laps made me rage in my head ngl
Edit: Daisy hills made me wanna commit a (m word)
Edit 2: Baby Park is only infuriating when you go from 1st to 6th from a blue shell, the music is amazing.
Edit 3: next time i see Sweet Sweet Canyon ranked that low im gonna explode.
Edit 4: WALUIGI PINBALL IS OVERRATED?!?!?! *EXPLODES*
Waluigi Pinball Is Overrated, It's A Fact
Calls Waluigi Pinball “ Overrated” but calls Coconut Mall “ Unforgettable “…
I respect your opinions, sir
both are overrated but waluigi pinball is better
Shy guy beach will sometimes randomly play in my head, and I can’t escape it.
Great video. The nostalgia of 30 years and being a fan for the last 20 years
