@@kazuhiroyasei Agreed. It isn’t as botched as some other courses, but like they could’ve just left it alone. They didn’t touch Mushroom Gorge for example
Despite the fact that I spent an ungodly amount of my childhood watching my brother play Sonic Heroes, so the soundtrack is absolutely burned into my brain, I never made the connection either lol. It’s a jam!
I loved this game growing up. I even checked once to see if people still play it online. And people STILL do. Also, 3DS Rainbow Road's gotta be the best track in this game.
19:05 "They animated the piano correctly!1!" With that set aside, the credits roll gets me every time. I can't help myself but smile- Damn does this bring back nostalgia!
Last summer I finally hit 10,000VR and finished unlocking everything in this game about 9 years after buying it. Beating the Special Cup and watching the credits roll one last time afterwards hit me like a truck. It felt so damn good to finally do that save file the justice it deserved.
As growing up playing the 3DS, more specifically this game non stop, Mario Kart 7 and the rest of the series a super special place in my heart, and I definitely teared up during some of the songs. ❤ This game is peak childhood
I remember in 2012 when my best friend taught me how to port mp3 files to the 3ds Music app. This soundtrack was the first thing I downloaded, specifically the remixes of them uploaded to TH-cam. Gone were the days of leaving my 3DS on in Time Trial Mode.
I never realized how much nostaliga I had for this games because multiple songs brought me to tears. I remember playing the hell out of it, and then getting back to it when I knew I was about to get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and even setting records. I need to dust off 3DS and play it again.
@@JosePena-zv8zf All things considered tho, TotK blows every experience I've had out of the park. It builds on botw in so many ways, like the dev and design teams worked very hard for the whole six years. But yea, now the games are only newly available as bonus for an online subscription, which is iffy (but it's better than two separate subscriptions as Xbox does). I don't think Donkey Kong for GB is on there, which is a shame. Side flips on that console feels so space-age.
Mario Kart 7 was so underrated. I grew up with double dash and the Wii version, mostly Wii, but I remember being so hyped for 7 and watching the trailer anxiously waiting for holiday 2011 haha. So many memories.
Mario Kart 7 was my childhood and had the best Rainbow Road, especially in terms of soundtrack. I also recently got it again and played it, I now realize it has one of the best track selections in the series.
I will never forget how I listen to MK7’s Rainbow Road music… Like man, I know it’s a remix to N64 but they made all the more legendary and tbh it made me emotional in nostalgia
@@dkscJulian ah. That’s why I never played it. I’ve only had a Nintendo DS Lite, and that was around 2015-2016 or so. I’ve never owned another Nintendo console. Edit: I forgot about my Switch Lite.
I swear there are so many tracks that hit me in the feels. Maple Treeway, Koopa Cape, Rock Rock Mountain, Daisy's Cruiser, Dino Dino Jungle, Neo Bowser City, Mushroom Gorge, Kalimari Desert, Shy Guy Bazaar, Rosalia's Ice World, Coconut Mall, Rainbow Road, and all of the gamemode courses just give me a nostalgia blast. I know theres a lot of courses but I love them all lol
Second Mario Kart I’ve ever owned, first being DS. Nostalgia aside, I still think this is one of the best entries in the entire series. Best Rainbow Road. Best Soundtrack. When those highs hit, THEY HIT. Also props to 7 for making a SNES Mario Circuit Track actually enjoyable. Edit: Plus they added my main Shy Guy back from DS, crazy how Wii never made them playable but got the freaking babies as playable character Piranha Plant Slide is peak MK music
This was the first Mario Kart I remember coming out and buying on launch. I still prefer Wii and DS, but it’s great that people seem to finally appreciate 7 too. The courses in this game were some of the best in the series, the retro courses specifically. I feel like they brought back all the best courses from the previous games, with a few exceptions. There were some notable things missing from this game though like VS mode, the character selection was wack, and the pace of the game (driving) feels slower than Wii, DS, DD or 8DX which is why I come back to it less often.
This was the first Mario Kart I ever owned. I have immense nostalgia for it. I think it’s one of the worst entries in the series. I absolutely HATE the way the game handles. Everything moves way too slowly. The character roster is garbage and the nitro tracks are mid as hell. And yes, I've played every Mario Kart game extensively. That's not to say my opinion is worth more than anyone else's, but I feel like you have to have played the other ones to say it's one of the best or worst in the series because otherwise, what are you even comparing it to?
grew up with this game. so it feels really weird for it to be old enough to consider nostalgia? this video made me realize just how old I'm getting lmao
I didn’t play MK7 as I had no 3DS, but lemme tell you, I gotta say that that Rainbow Road theme is by far my favorite. The others are good in their own right, but I can only listen to this one on loop and not get tired easily.
Props to you by putting Kirby on a Warpstar when the Warpstar sound of Rainbow Road plays. And for using Super and Wii clips when their respective main theme plays. And for treating DS Palm Shore the way it deserves.
My god, I remember playing MK7 on my original 3ds years ago. I’ve somehow lost a bunch of my DS and 3DS games including it. I now have a 3DS XL which I’ve had since 2017, but I still miss this game. Never played online, but had a lot of fun playing in the car or even inside a barber shop
I’m sad I missed the online shutting down for mk7 I didn’t even know it was happening at all so now I feel empty that I couldnt experience the end of my childhood
I'm so happy I found this channel since you made a "OST be like" videos of mario kart ds,7 and Wii which are the only mario kart games I played in my youth and I had nostalgia also the videos were well made!
At 7:08, the segment is called Neo Bowser City + the good part, yet it plays the entire song. This is because the entire song is in fact the best part.
I always love these types of videos of compilations of people and animals dancing to video game OSTs, but I never thought I'd see the day where an entire game's OST gets the treatment! Loved this! Hope you make more!
I grew up with MK7, its in my top favorite Mario Karts without hesitation. All this music is bringing me back to the early 2010s with my original red 3DS _sob_
MK7 was my first video game ever. Probably one of my most favorite game. I played this game hundreds of time with my friends thanks to the possibility to play at 8 with one cartridge. It was a perfect introduction to video games, and I still play it on my old 3ds. I wish to anyone to have a game that brings you a big nostalgia feeling
May not be my personal favorite Mario kart but it sure is the one I have the most memories with. So much love for this game and especially it’s soundtrack
I personally don't have any memories or emotions tied to this game as I only grew up with older Mario Kart entries (SMK, MK64, MKSC, MKDD, MKDS and MKWii) but I have to say, I couldn't help but shed a tear as soon as I heard the "retro" tracks started playing. Also found some cool new Mario Kart tracks to listen to. MK7 really has an interesting and fun OST!
When it comes to Frontrunning for SNES Mario Circuit 2, SNES Rainbow Road, N64 Kalimari Desert, Rock Rock Mountain and Music Park, it just Hits DIFFERENT
I love the sound design for the Soda Jet kart
Now do Mario kart 64 ost got me like. Hope they are weird music or not

MK7’s Rainbow Road is otherworldly, both the track itself and it’s music. So glad it came back in 8 Deluxe
I got true 3 laps installed on it
The 3DS Rainbow Road is my favorite Track of all Time
I was pumped to see it in MK8D as well, but pissed when they completely botched the music, just like they did with the N64 one.
@@kazuhiroyasei Agreed. It isn’t as botched as some other courses, but like they could’ve just left it alone. They didn’t touch Mushroom Gorge for example
@@kazuhiroyasei the music for the n64 version is fine.

Nintendo just went full on J A Z Z
Staff roll in this game is alright. Sad is a bit harsh. I love the Wii and 8’s more, but this one is still good
Yes so nostalgic 😄
Same for Rainbow road from mk7
I also thought of the Epic Sax Guy when listening to the credits
I Hope I WASNT the only one when I was little that bobbed up and down like the characters did in their karts while “Single Player Menu” was playing.
I LITERALLY DID THAT TOO LMFAO😂😂😂

I can't lie I did the same Shi 🤣
Nope, you're not the only one...
Me too but the more I listen I start to move my hand as if it were a fish tail 😭

I feel bad for sometimes forgetting how lit this game's OST actually is. The frontrunning beats elevate the tracks to another level.
Like it’s insane how good it is
So much nostalgia off a video..
They really nailed the retro track themes. Mario Kart 8 just ruined them imo (Especially Waluigi Pinball)
@@melee_fox4954 I'mma pretend you didn't share with me your foul and tasteless opinion
the most underrated Mario Kart, yet the most nostalgic, personally.
I approuved.
I Agree with this statement.
Third on the approval glad I revisited this video
I didn't know 7 was underrated at all. I always thought Super Circuit was more underrated.
My list is double dash, Wii, and then mk7 for the best mariokarts of all time
Mk7 walked so MK8 could go do a marathon .
I like how you can play half of Mario Kart 7’s courses in Mario Kart 8.
@@MDE128ye cos they so good

18:40 “It’s just the credits bro just skip them.” “Not this one dude.”
My fav in mario kart history
Mario kart 7 Rainbow Road had no reason to sound as magical as it did. The whole soundtrack was magical. Best 3DS GAME EVER!
True
No, it had a reason, that being to match the magic of the track itself
12:44 best part
7:07 Neo Bowser City had to be the best one of them all! it’s also my favorite one too! 🤩
I loved this game growing up.
I even checked once to see if people still play it online. And people STILL do.
Also, 3DS Rainbow Road's gotta be the best track in this game.

Mario Kart 7 felt like one big trip down memory lane. It was so awesome and you can tell the soundtrack team put their all into it.

This was my first Mario kart and I have a lot of good memories with it. I will never be able to see it again, as my 2ds broke years ago 😔
