Top Ten Mario Kart 7 Songs
The top ten best Mario Kart 7 songs. This list was particularly fun to make as this is my favourite Mario Kart game and I have a lot of nostalgia for the songs in this game so with that being said here is the list.Most people will agree this is the best Rainbow Road ever, as it feels like a real adventure, an epilogue to the greatest Mario Kart game of all time with its climactic and adventurous music. You race on not just rainbows but also Saturn's rings and the moon. The last lap feels like a final battle, and the music completely defines it.
It's a somewhat remix of N64 Rainbow Road but with its own added melody as well. Just look at the image to this music and don't tell me it doesn't look interesting.
However, I don't think it's the best Rainbow Road theme or course. My favorite is actually the GCN one (the music was godly there compared to here, ironically), or it is a tie between the two courses. The point is, the soundtrack is amazing.
Aah, Koopa City. I have talked a lot about how much I am in love with this particular song, and it's not without reason. It somewhat bothers me how no one seems to remember it. I mean, everyone knows of Electrodrome, and this music is basically that level of awesome except ten times more underrated.
It fills you with determination, adventure, and courage, and is so catchy. Just how is this song so underrated again? I really need to know. There's almost no song better than this in Mario. The remix in Mario Kart 8 was just as awesome, if not maybe just a tad worse, but it's no big difference.
The nostalgia always hits me so hard whenever I play this song. I still remember when I got it back at Easter of 2013. One of the best Easters ever. When I found out I had gotten a 3DS and this game, it all was just so amazing.
The following days were a blast. This wasn't my first Mario Kart. That was Mario Kart Wii, which I had gotten less than a year before. But this is certainly my favorite of all time, and this song is probably in my top five favorite Mario Kart songs ever. Best Main Menu theme ever.
It's calm, it's happy, and it knows how to be nostalgic to those who grew up with this game. It's the type of music that fills you with satisfaction and determination. Enough said. The dark yet amazing colors in the game in the main menu are just so awesome.
Only Double Dash and Wii have Mario Kart main menu themes that are almost on the same tier as this song. But this song is the best. One of the best of all time.
This course is perhaps the most acclaimed one in the game, along with Rainbow Road, and not without reason. I love it as well. And it's because of the concept. Like you're racing on a damn melody motorway (get over it Americans, Melody Motorway is the correct and most accurate name) with everything related to music.
Speakers, drums, pianos, xylophones, bouncing notes. Heck, even the music sounds so "musically" (no pun intended). How can one not like this song? There's also a remix in Mario Kart 8, but I thought it was slightly ruined. This is better.
Yes, I know Toad Circuit is one of the most basic tracks in the Mario Kart series, but I have a lot of nostalgia for it, and part of it is the super nostalgic music. Yes, it does sound a bit basic, I suppose, but it's incredibly soothing, nice, and nostalgic.
It really fits as a circuit theme because it's not uninteresting, and it's the start of a new adventure, which Mario Kart 7 was for me when I first got it. Really underrated music track, honestly, in my opinion.
This is the definitive Mario Kart song that resembles Freddi Fish 3. Cheep Cheep Beach too, but not nearly to the extent that this song reaches. Like seriously, as someone who grew up loving the Humongous Entertainment games and especially the Freddi Fish games (and ESPECIALLY 1, 3, and 4), this song hits me with a different type of nostalgia from the menu theme or Airship Fortress.
A much older nostalgia thanks to that awesome melody with these steel drums. Needs to be in the top three.
This Bowser's Castle theme is unlike any other. While most other Bowser's Castle themes are either energetic (SNES, GBA), calm and creepy (N64, GCN, DS), or chaotic (Wii, Wii U), this one is completely different. I mean, it could somewhat be classified as chaotic, but I wouldn't go that far.
This soundtrack always gives me goosebumps because it sounds almost like the world is coming to an end and you're quickly having to venture through the castle to save the world. It's true, look this song up. It's so badass I can't describe it without being somewhat inaccurate. Amazing.
This song is a similar case to the Single Player Menu Medley in which it fills you with lots of nostalgia, although to a lesser extent in my opinion. It's such a happy and satisfying song, although it appears people think this song sounds very basic. Well, to an extent I do too, which is why it's lower than the menu theme, but I still really love it.
This is a very unique take on a Mario Kart, not just the course but even the soundtrack. This course is set in an Arab market resembling Aladdin a lot, and it's got everything to make it feel like that, like the architecture, aesthetics, and, of course, the music. Such a unique and nostalgic song.
Then again, the entire Mushroom Cup is nostalgic to me. Those voices in the background make this song especially soothing.
This song fills you with lots of determination and fits so well with the tracks of Wuhu Island. Although the American names for these tracks suck, unfortunately. Like, what the heck does "maka" mean? Off-topic, though, because this song is really great.
Another nostalgia-filling song, it can mean both the start of an adventure and the epilogue of an adventure, in my opinion, which makes it quite a unique track. Wuhu Island Loop is like the beginning when it's daytime and a new adventure.
With Wuhu Mountain Loop, it becomes even better when it's sunset and you're racing up the mountain with the amazing colors. And the Star Cup, adventure is over. Such a great song.
