I think it's worth noting that "Texture pack" means they only updated the textures. all of the models of the characters in this game are sprites, and thus why those can be updated, and why the beloved boulders look the same. this texture pack looks sick.

The little car symbol on the map was always there. Seeing this I've come to realize how much better the original tracks are compared to the MK8 versions.
As someone who never played this game as a kid, I think you have nostalgia goggles on. MK64 tracks are really pretty basic, especially compared to every MK game made after. MK64 was groundbreaking no doubt, but it definitely shows its age and the updated tracks in MK8 really bring the environments to life like the old N64 never could.
1:46 If you’re looking for 4K music, I’d recommend looking up “restored” tracks, with are basically compositions of the songs with the original instruments, just with higher fidelity, and they sound awesome! I’d recommend looking up the ones from this and Super Mario World, Rainbow Road sounds awesome!
1:53 there’s currently a project were they’re restoring tracks ( including mario kart 64 ) with high quality samples. If you’re interested, these restorations are on the youtube channel: The brickster.
Well, the Instruments you're hearing are Sampled synthesizers that are pretty compressed due to the n64s hardware but there are quite a lot of restores out there because the og synth sources have been found.
1:47 remastered soundtrack exists, they take the "midi" from the game, and play it with uncompressed samples that were used in the game resulting in the song being in very high quality without compression 5:26 i think thats text in japanese....
As much as I’d like to play this game at 60fps, it’ll always be locked at 30 sadly. Idk if the mod author said it was 60fps but it’s not. Also, the character “models” in this game are actually just fancy sprites. Not actual 3D models.
N64 rainbow road used to be my favourite map, when I was a kid I would do time trials just to drive to each character’s face and watch the animations, seeing it in HD is amazing
I actually did most of the textures in 2011. These HD karts are great. I think whoever made this pack mixed and matched some of my work with their own.
FYI, there is a YT channel that takes the original samples of Nintendo music and recreates the instrumental it sounds amazing! (uncompressed and modern mixing and mastering)
Looks like those 90s computer generated Mario characters that they had on Magazines, snacks and other things for N64 games (Mario 64, Mario Kart, Mario Party etc.)
I think there even is a comlete playlist of the restored MK64 soundtrack. People have searched down all the CD samples used in composing the songs and then used them to recreate the purest version of the soundtrack at studio quality .
The models for the charcters and items are pre-rendered sprites witch is why they look so good (it was like that in the OG game as well). Also until we get a proper PC port the models will have to stay kinda blocky cuz N64 emulators crash when a model exceeds the max polly count for a N64 model.
In youtube search for the channel Unreal. He has the download link on his MK 64 HD video. Just type “unreal mario kart 64 HD”, click on the video, and you should find the link in the description.
“Gamers, welcome to my boulders”
It makes me so happy that you’re still doing that
I agree
Boulders are better then Rocks
The boulders will never die!
How old is the boulders?

So its just the same emulated game but with better textures?
@@ibilesfighter3.16 Pretty much, yeah.
@@koolersdomain3905 well dammit
Like Minecraft he needs a Resource Pack, not Texture Pack.
6:03 those 4K boulders hit different now!

I feel the opposite I like the MK8 versions better
I mostly agree, but Rainbow Road is way better in MK8
Quit the nostalgia
Mario Kart has gotten a little feature-dense, hasn't it?

But what about 64FPS????
what about 1699 fps
what infinitefps
@@Chica6614 you trying to blow up your pc lol?
What about 1996 FPS???
The reason why some things like the cars and the boulders look the same is because they only updated textures, not models
I’m in love with these character models, especially Bowser!
Bro this looks so uncanny.
8/10
You probably won’t like real life then.
@@curlyhairboiakabaddude8922 Lmao. But i understand him making an old game look new kinda destroys its feeling imo

I’ve recently discovered these. The restorations of SNES osts are even more amazing- they sound like super-HD N64 chip tunes.
The best part of any video is when you say:
“Gamers, welcome to my boulders”
This accurately represents how the game looked when you were younger
Will you EVER read about a mod before making a video on it?
11:50 12:33 Two of my favorites!
Love the graphics of this. Wish I could play it. Also I love your content. Keep up the great work. 👊😎👍
How amazing to enjoy the new 4k resolution on 144p
1:47 remastered soundtrack exists, they take the "midi" from the game, and play it with uncompressed samples that were used in the game
resulting in the song being in very high quality without compression
5:26 i think thats text in japanese....

Mario Kart Mods are the best I wonder how Nintendo views the mods
This is basically what Nintendo 64 Switch Online should’ve been.
I just gave up on the switch online the emulation is poor compared to the n64 emulation on pc
This is (almost) how I remember it looking like on my Wii
6:33 Don't worry, this track has been confirmed for Mario Kart 8 Booster Course Pass, so it's gonna be completely reworked, including the boulders.😉
Now we need Mario Party 4K 60FPS
The game looks so beautiful! I'm glad the fans keep this game looking so good!
This actually looks so good
N64 rainbow road used to be my favourite map, when I was a kid I would do time trials just to drive to each character’s face and watch the animations, seeing it in HD is amazing
Really can’t believe you’re finding things to complain about here. This looks a amazing and represents thousands of hours of work.
Honestly this looks stunning!
This is how it looked to us as kids back in 97
DK's Jungle Raceway looks SOOO good with this mod. The whole thing is incredible
I actually did most of the textures in 2011. These HD karts are great. I think whoever made this pack mixed and matched some of my work with their own.
12:00 this isn't your everyday darkness... this is... ADVANCED DARKNESS
This makes the game look way better! I love the way it looks!
If you want upscaled music I recommend the restored music by Cloou.
They done a amazing job making the OST of Mario Kart 64 HQ.
1:54 I actually prefer the synth in the racetracks. It feels more like racing music that way.
This whole youtube channel is a W
This in genral makes me happy.
This is how we used to see it back in the 90’s and early 00’s :3
Genuinely is in this case, you'd barely be able to tell the difference at 240p
Watching this just brought back A LOT of nostalgia. I forgot about most of these maps

Toad ran into his own banana peel. Never change, Mario Kart AI.
10:18 Yay! My time to shine!
4:31 And, now I can't unsee it, thank you very much! But for real, it's real cool seeing this game so good looking.
That little car thing has indeed allways been there
“The pink Toad mushroom guy!”
*Yeah, his name is Toad!*
XD
No, the mk8 version of the songs are WAY WAY WAY better than the n64! Your can't call me biased either since I grew up with mk64 and JUST got mk8!
13:58 I have taught you well!

Awesome video
Luigi is freacking sick bro it looks awsome
Yoshi looks so good.

Bowser's looking a little melty on that podium.
I like how Bathaniel's cam is more pixelated than the game
Welcome To Bathaniel Nandy For The Very First Time
Nintendo should remakes the classic games so it looks nice on Switch
Your boulders should be in the hall of fame

Dude imagine Mario Kart 64 reverse decompile so you can play it natively on PC and then have 4K
Kewl Nathaniel!
I think there even is a comlete playlist of the restored MK64 soundtrack. People have searched down all the CD samples used in composing the songs and then used them to recreate the purest version of the soundtrack at studio quality .
This looks so beautiful 😻 and great 😌 I love 💗 it keep going games in 4K please 🙏!
The models for the charcters and items are pre-rendered sprites witch is why they look so good (it was like that in the OG game as well). Also until we get a proper PC port the models will have to stay kinda blocky cuz N64 emulators crash when a model exceeds the max polly count for a N64 model.
Question: Can you get this working on your N64, like real hardware?
so smooth it's breaking my brain
One of my favorite Mario Kart games. My very first one
We need an indie team who's entire job is making N64 games look better
@Ned Leeds unofficial 4k SMS 😋
I feel that the only way the models can get updated is if this game gets the PC port treatment.
The car thing was there the whole time
Now I want to see a StarFox 64 4K upscale
“As you’ve noticed we are running in 60 FPS” Bro literally recording *AT 30* 💀
Those are some nice boulders my dude
0:29 I… Look… Fabulous!
Honestly, this looks way more as I remember it (like this is how I felt it looked when I was a kid... I'm just surprised)
Rainbow road almost made me cry tears of joy
Honestly, I lot of this looks better than Mario Kart Tour. And I mean that in a good way.
Wow! If Nintendo ever decides to reboot this game, they should use this!!
as much as its cool to see these in 4k, toads model activates my fight or flight
If Wallace and Gromit were about racing cars this is what it would look like
Great video👑
This is really stunning
This is a dream come true
The character models kinda have a stop motion clay-like feel to them
Me watching in 240p:
Yeah that's looks great.
CAUGHT JN 4K NAAAAA MARIO KART IN 4K YEAAAA
The car on the mini map was there it was just super tiny
I love how triggered he got about the boulders
RTX isn't AI upscaling, it's ray-traced lighting... DLSS on is more accurate.
Oh my, look at the day this was posted on
Only thing that’s not 4K is ur cam bro… but i love you anyway man 💙
