Dolphin Shoals has such amazing music, it low key feels out of place to hear in a video game. It's like it feels just like a regular song a jazz group might play, instead of it sounding as if from a videogame. I absolutely love it!
Anyone who thinks VGM isn't worthy of a real instrument has never heard their favorite game being played by a symphony. It's a killer lick. You gotta ride it.
GUYS LISTEN I THINK I FOUND THE ORIGIN OF THIS LICK. Yes the lick is played by Kazuki Katsuta in this MK soundtrack, but hear me out: I found a track from 1994 by a band called Bossa Nostra Group, the song is called Kontaminazione. Listen to that song and listen to the sax... OMG it's the same lick, just very slightly different and slower, but that's such a special lick that I hardly see that as being a random coincidence! Have I discovered something? I've seen no one online talking about that!!
Gave it a quick listen. 100% sounds similar, it sounds more like both used the same scale, but Bossa simply played a scale, while the MarkioKart one had more of a melody to it. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was used for inspiration in some way, but they’re not the same. Still a sick af find those. I gotta know tho, what did you hear first, Bossa or the MarioKart sax?
That was absolutely AMAZING. I'm so in love with this video lol. From the realization on how goated that jazz in the game actually was, the practice, and the end result. The transition was smoooothh i love itt. Props!
You caught him, he didn’t own a saxophone before playing the Mario song and THEN bought it solely to play Mario and joined jazz band AFTER learning that single riff as his first piece ever. Smart boy you are
I should let you know that just moments ago I overheard my uncle's jazz playlist from a distance and for whatever reason, immediately recognized the Mario Kart lick from this video ahah;; 😂
