Hi Friends!
Today I'm teaming up with my little brother Vivaan to give you our combined Mario Kart World course track rankings, based on MUSIC! We each played through all thirty tracks paying special attention to the music. We then gave a ranking out of ten and took the average of our rankings.
Every track's music earned a combined average of over 5/10 from us, a testament to the quality of the music in this game, and how much we enjoy playing and listening to every track. Without further ado, here is a super graphic we made combining our spreadsheet and AI.
We could talk all day about each and every one of these tracks and their fabulous music but we're going to focus on our top three, aka our S tier, and why we love the music so much!
Toad's Factory originally from Mario Kart Wii
(9.1/10)
This amazing musical track was composed by Asuka Ota and Ryo Nagamatsu. It's an upbeat, jazzy bop with an awesome syncopated drumbeat we love. It also gives serious frenetic assembly line factory vibes, which fits the theme of the course.
Boo Cinema, a brand-new track for Mario Kart World
(9.2/10)
This incredible track was composed by Atsuko Asahi, Maasa Miyoshi, Takuhiro Honda, and Yutaro Takakuwa, who together make the Mario Kart World Soundtrack team, along with others. It's our favorite spooky soundtrack in the gaming universe and sounds like a haunted movie jazzy jam session. I particularly love the augmented chords, clarinet harmonies, and tremolo strings!
Dino Dino Jungle, originally from Mario Kart Double Dash
(9.3/10)
This brilliant track was composed by Shinobu Tanaka and Kenta Nagata and revamped by Atsuko Asahi and the Mario Kart World Soundtrack team, mentioned earlier. It features upbeat jungle adventure vibes with high energy repeated syncopated drum beats, brass layering, and an awesome rock electric guitar layer in the modern version.

That's all for today! See y'all next time! Sarang and Vivaan out.
Love this! Unconventional list too, just like you guys! Way to be unique! My faves all time in the Mario Kart franchise are probs Rainbow Road from the N64 game I played as a kid and Baby Park from Double Dash!
