Hoo yeah! Man, this was such a fun way to kick off the weekend! This remix video is just loaded with upbeat energy that keeps the nostalgia intact while livening it up with modern flair! 🏎 Regarding the instrumentation, I really like that you kept that familiar, sort of folksy charm intact throughout much of the piece. It feels like a hallmark element of the original, so it's nice to see the accordion (or melodica?) and fiddle sounds being represented here. But the addition of those synthetic leads really takes it to the next level. I especially love that segment at 2:41 with those note bends in the octave jumps, with an even more pronounced iteration at 2:55 - it sounds super funky and colorful! And all the little details throughout, like the flourishes in the milder section at 1:56 that answer the main melody. There's a lot more subtlety in this remix, and I like that even the gentlest parts can be heard distinctly - a real testament to your incredible mixing efforts and abilities! Also, as others have mentioned, the bass is a real feature element here, with that characteristic bouncy and robust sound that your low-end elements are known for. The percussive elements are every bit as tight, too, and the buildups in this piece are among my favorite of yours. After a rather relaxed and easygoing first verse, you really ramp things up in Lap 2, and the buildup at 0:55 perfectly conveys that a big shift is incoming! And once again, the rising energy beginning at 2:20 builds lots of hype leading into the final lap, where all the stops are pulled out, with that infectiously fun Dance beat! It's that feeling of being in 1st place near the end of a race, where life is good, and Blue Shells are nowhere on the horizon! 😁 Heh, that note about your driving in MKDS gave me a good laugh. Honestly, the physics of that game feel so much different, going back to it, and Delfino Plaza in particular has some unforgiving corners (especially that side-alley shortcut). Still, it was fun to see gameplay footage from the OG Delfino Plaza, and I really enjoyed how you transitioned to the MKWii course in tandem with the transition to a modern style in the music - those coordinated shifts in your remix videos always make me smile! 😊 Once again, awesome work on this! It is definitely the perfect locale for a weekend getaway, and your rendition of the theme is the perfect song for anytime listening! Have a great one, Player2! 🌟
The happiness level is off the charts!! 😁 Honestly, a lot of Mario Kart tracks are like that, upbeat and uplifting! And you upgraded the instrumentation and took it to another level with those super cool drops with the groovy bassline! Well done Player2! 👍
This really brings me back to my childhood! MKWii was my first game ever, and me being young and all didn't understand the thing about Nitro tracks and Retro tracks, so I remember thinking it was so damn weird seeing this in DS as well! Awesome remix as always!
Oh man the amount of hours I spent on MKWii alone, it would be well in the 1000's! Personally I think Wii's Nitro & Retro courses were some of the best combination that I never got bored playing this game! Thank you bro!! 😎
This is by far one of my favourite mktracks and to see you remix this just like shroom ridge last time is incredible. I honestly this arrives to mk8, nice work
Now that you mention it, this remix is quite similar to Shroom Ridge, haha! Didn't even notice, but I guess that's how I keep my consistency 😎 Agreed, I would love this track to make an appearance in MK8!
I remember playing this course a lot as a kid. My favorite thing to do was to stay in last place to get a bullet bill and then do that one jump to the left before the shopping area
Mario kart ds was my first Mario kart and I was immediately smitten! The missions and fun tracks were spectacular and I enjoyed this game and this remix!
I’ve been playing a lot of Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, and it has some great music! I think you should try remixing some of it now that it just got on the Switch!
my god I'm so glad I decided to give your channel a look, instant sub cuz I love your style of remixing the Kirby Air Ride menu and now Delfino Plaza too 🥹 PLUS again the way you use the SFX!!! can't get enough of it!!!
haha you have no idea how awesome it is to hear that! Thank you so much!! 🙌 SFX is my signature style so be prepared for nostalgic greatness in each remix! 😎

Mario Kart DS gets some more Player2 treatment?!? Heck yeah! I love the peaceful vibes just easing into another fantastic drop! :D
Haha it's almost always guaranteed to see at least one Mario Kart remix per month 😆
Man, your style is just so amazing.
I’m super glad you think so; never thought in a million years i’d be at a point where i’ve made a “style” for myself! Thank you as always!!! 🙏
@@ProducerPlayer2 You've definitely made a style for yourself, I can't think of anybody else who makes songs that sound like yours!
The happiness level is off the charts!! 😁 Honestly, a lot of Mario Kart tracks are like that, upbeat and uplifting! And you upgraded the instrumentation and took it to another level with those super cool drops with the groovy bassline! Well done Player2! 👍
Haha happiness level 1000%!!! 🙌
Thank you as always, Glitchman!! Plus it’s fun implementing real instrumentation from time to time! 💫

Yesss that funky bass mixed in with the gentle flowy feeling of walking through a Town's plaza looking at all the little shops feeling. Keep it up :)
Thanks for always tuning in, brotha! I appreciate you 🙏

Thank you so much! I was freezing in my studio from all the goosebumps I was getting while producing it haha 🤣
My favorite Nitro Track from DS, really hope it returns in the Booster Course Pass
100% agree, plus it would be epic to hear a MK8-style remix to this awesome soundtrack!!
Wow
I remember playing this course a lot as a kid. My favorite thing to do was to stay in last place to get a bullet bill and then do that one jump to the left before the shopping area
Oh yes I totally forgot about that jump to the dock!!
Clean remix! Also a fun course I enjoy racing on 👍
Thanks Ryu!! Definitely was enjoyable to make this. I love implementing real instrumentation in my remixes! 🙌

YOOO! I forgot all about this track but it is such a good song and race course!

@@ProducerPlayer2 Same!

That’a a great idea, i’ll see what I can do! 😎
I forgot how cool this track was!
Right?!?! A very relaxing course, at that 😌

Dude yes! Might be time to add more Superstar Saga to my discography!!! 🔥
Awesome remix! 😎 👍
Thanks my man!! 😁
omg
Hopefully you do a remix with Wii rainbow road in the BCP
Oh for sure, Wii rainbow road is one of my favorites!
@@ProducerPlayer2 Wow! Also thankyou for doing the 3DS one
You probably don't do requests, but I hope you do some Pizza Tower remixes.
Not “requests” per se, but I do accept suggestions!! I’ll add Pizza Time to my list & see what I can come up with! 🙌
