OCR00686 - Super Mario Kart "Trippin' on Rainbows"

[Crulex]

Hmm. I get it, and I gotta say, I’m glad I’m getting it now because I’m not sure I would have understood this a while back. This really does seem like a mix that builds up and gets better with time and repeat listens. I understand the dislike some folks might have for some of the more disjointed jazzy parts especially in the opening minute, but once it starts clicking together I kinda dig it. All a matter of taste, which is perfectly fine. Not my favorite Mazedude mix, but still liked it.

Ok, so quick story... I've been searching for this song for YEARS

When I first stumbled upon this song when it came out in 2002, I wasn't even 11 yet (I'm 30 now, Jesus that still hasn't fully hit me!). I remember hearing it when I was around 12-14 as at the time, it wasn't exactly easy to come across video game music in the early-mid 00's (or I just didn't know where, also possible).

Fast forward to the past couple of years, and I know I heard this song on OCremix but for the life of me I couldn't remember the name of the song, just knew it was from a Mario game. I had thought it was Super Mario RPG, Super Mario 64 or Super Mario World. Whenever I looked, I couldn't find it.

So today I figured, I knew I heard this song as a kid/teen so I have to look at songs from Mario games prior to 2005. That finally led me to Super Mario Kart and this song.

This remix is beautiful. I've been looking for this remix for years and I'm so glad it's still up.

Thank you for this piece of music, I'm definitely going to bed happy tonight

This is the first time I've heard this. I hear sparks of his first moments of genius here. So many fun riffs.
