Something happened behind the music

Myself

The most important thing about tracks is their music. It's what keeps you entertained while racing. Even the Super Mario Kart samples will return. Here are my predictions for them:

Mario Bros. Circuit

D Note

This one will be in the note D and have some banjo sequences. It will still have that desert vibe but is upbeat. The Mario Bros. theme from 1983 will have a reference.

Luigi Lagoon

A Note

The problem with water or beach themed tracks is the way they sound similar. Like Peach Beach or Cheep Cheep Island. To change this, Luigi Lagoon will have this electronic-like theme, because of the underwater pipe section in the track, and be going up and down.

Peppermint Pass

G Note

This one will not be that too lighthearted because of the 11-year thing, but flutes and glockenspiels will come to play.


Reptile Ruins

C Note

For this music, Koopa's victory theme from Super Mario Kart will come, but not too much, because then it would be too cheesy. Some of the instruments from Thwomp Ruins will be added to this one.

A note about the Super Mario Kart samples. They kinda have been used for the Mario Kart 8 tracks, like Sweet Sweet Canyon is the whistle, the Electrodome section for the MK8 credits is the charang, and near the end of Mario Kart Stadium is the synth brass, the one that plays for the melody of Mario Circuit.

The one game mostly everyone will be unified to:



i'm never looking at the MK8DX cover the same way again

Here's Sweet Speedway

https://mkpc.malahieude.net/circuit.php?id=177446

Ok, I figured out how to do the sprites

I tried that, but it didn't work. It's like white jelly got stuck into the driver itself.

If you hadn't noticed, I'm the same guy here:

I would like to change my info, but I can't.

Does anyone know how to make a custom character without the white background showing? There's no Movie Sonic in the custom character selection.

If I make the slightest move

Imagine this happens to you one day when you try to get an extra life

Mine is A&W. They have good chili dogs.

Here are some early conecpts for the tracks, with the biggest change is Dry Dry Ruins.





Luigi Circuit doesn't have that much detail, probably because it's the first and basic track of the game, but when you go to Dry Dry Ruins, the track seems upside-down than in the final. The lake was bigger, and the ruin has more stuff going on in it, like a half-pipe room with Pokeys, cubes rolling with Mii faces on them, and Swoops coming at you. The outside part seems very vast. The game itself even had a Mission Mode.


The early footage I've shown you earlier is similar to the end credits, because they're THS files, meaning they don't interfere with the actual game models and drivers.





There was some different drifting like Mario on Mario Raceway, at the end credits before everything is unlocked. Some boost flames are not positioned well, which means the videos were made during the game's development.

Well, it's because nobody finds this much known, and since the new Mario Kart is going to debut, I thought this'd be a great time to show some facts about the well known one. And the footage we had for the new one can relate to Mario Kart Wii's.

The world of Mario Kart Wii has a great vibe to it. Its complex tracks and new items really bring the game to life. Since the new Mario Kart is coming, let's go back to late 2007 where the game had its production, and even was in the E3 2007 conference.



You can see many differences to the final game we know today. First off, the item box had a much more basic design to it, the place standings had no st, nd, rd, or th to them, and the boost flames even looked more detailed. You can even see some cows running in Moo Moo Meadows.



The drivers don't have that much animation, and still had the Mario Kart DS vehicle engine sound. This makes sense, because Mario Kart Wii and DS have some similarities.

This could've been the original track and arena names:

Luigi Circuit
Moo Moo Plains
Mushroom Jungle
Toad's Factory

Mario Circuit
Coconut Mall
DK Snowboard Park
Wario's Railway

Daisy Circuit
Koopa Cape
Maple Raceway
Grumble Badlands

Dry Dry Ruins
Peach Circuit
Bowser's Castle
Rainbow Road

Block Plaza
Delfino Resort
Chain Chomp Court
Funky Stadium
Thwomp Desert
Galaxy Colosseum

SNES Battle Course 4
N64 Skyscraper
GBA Battle Course 3
GCN Cookie Land
DS Twilight House
DS Palm Shore

New footage came 6 days ago:



And this is how Mario Kart for Wii has its greatness today!

Mine was the Nintendo Wii 10 years ago.
