After more than 11 years, just over a month ago we received the new instalment of the Mario Kart franchise. Mario Kart World has a lot of miles, races, and updates to complete to earn the love and respect of all gamers, but Nintendo hasn’t forgotten where the series comes from.
Or at least, where it made the qualitative leap to 3D. Mario Kart 64 is a true gem on a console that still holds gamers’ fondest memories. Gameplay-wise you may have more memories of Wii’s Mario Kart or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but the music of MK 64 is absolutely transcendent.
And the best part is that it’s now available to listen to whenever and wherever you want via Nintendo Music. It’s 32 audio tracks, exactly one hour, of pure gaming nostalgia. These are the track titles:
