How the music of Mario Kart has evolved
Mario Kart's music is iconic, but it's changed a lot over the last 30 years. We've had ska, jazz fusion, big band and more. So in this video, let's explore the history of Mario Kart's music, in the composers' own words! I've dug through countless interviews with the composers behind Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Double Dash, and Mario Kart 8, in order to answer the question - How has Mario Kart's music changed?
