Me and my friend are the only Nintendo fans left in class. Everyone bailed on Nintendo and when to play that stupid game "Modern Warfare 3" Ugh! When he and I will protest, we shall play this song! To all Nintendo fans out there, "It's rainbow road, it's where you go, when you die!!"
My first console was DS, and then i got a Wii. But my brother has got an GBA SP which is my now. I grew up with that. But i hope someone understands my lack of the nostalgia... I just want an N64 now... :(
@nodenaatti most n64 games made by nintendo are on the virtual console for wii but there are other great games on the n64 that aren't on the virtual console, so it's up to you if you want to buy it for nostalgia
If I had to choose my favorite song from a video game to remember from my childhood, it would be this song. I remember playing Mario Kart 64 all the time. It had such a GREAT replay value, I would actually LOSE races on purpose just to play them over again for fun.
mario kart 64 will never be forgotten, and this track was the best. i loved it very much, and it reminds me of my childhood. i can listen to this for an hr straight. <3 mario kartn 64
My favourite Rainbow Road music and even my favourite course. I don't care if it takes forever to drive through; this music makes me enjoy it too much and makes it pretty damn epic.
btw, Rainbow Road is one of my favourite Mario Kart 64 courses. :) I had always loved the pictures of different Mario characters in the sky. And the music, of course.
I was born after the N64 came out, but my parents played the SNES and N64 all the time before I was born, and my mum plays them a lot now. (my dad can't because he has bad nerves) I played our SNES and N64 all the time growing up. I was the only kid at our school to have even HEARD of something before the GameCube. Even now, people at school don't even know what a GameCube is either. They just know of the Wii, DS, and 3DS. (but I love all of them as well)
@Nintooner101 I hope I have a son like you. I won't deny anyone the right to play any modern game/system, but I'll damn well deny them the right to avoid the old ways of doing things.
I remember waking up in the morning when I was younger and looked outside and saw snow. School was out and it was a Friday, and Monday we got off too. Played Mario Kart 64, played this course. One of my favorite video game moments, not sure why.
I want Nintendo to make a console. Like the N64, but an up to date version worth competing with the PS3 and Xbox. No need for annoying controller-less technology, just a normal controller. Then, start making some really good games for it. Nintendo, dont you understand. You used to have the ability to create life ling memorable games, but you lost that. Bring it back. Bring back the simple masterpieces you made. Its what we want. Copy and paste this to every video. Remember, Nintendo was good.
@PimpMyForzaSport "Its what we want". You do realize with that quote that you're making yourself seem like you represent an entire audience, which you don't? Also, Nintendo doesn't care about graphics, they care about gameplay. Gameplay > controls > replay value > fun factor > graphics.
@ChaosMew161 Graphics had no relevance to PimpMyForzaSport's comment. Furthermore his comment was spot-on. Nintendo makes good games for the Wii, but being forced to use motion-tracking controls kind of ruins it. I get that Nintendo wants us to use the remote/nunchuk controller, but having the option to use the classic controller would be nice. The Wii's novelty factor has worn off a while ago; I wish Nintendo would cut the gimmicky controller bullshit, or at least give us an alternative option.
One of the best Mario Kart 64 tunes yet. Still got me original cartridge and N64. Need to check if it will still work on me. Would so want this to appear in the next Mario Kart's retro courses.
Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7 are both great games - no one can deny that. Yet they leave me frustrated.
Most of the games in the Mario Kart franchise have featured unforgettable courses which are well-designed, tough A.I (with the assistance of rubber-banding), fantastic soundtracks and are all genuinely enjoyable.
However, Mario Kart 64 had something magical about it. It wasn't the best game technically, but to this day almost every aspect of that game is still etched into my memory.
@MrChristopherCourage I still play it on my modded xbox, Mario kart 64 is the best, best music, best everything, graphics may suck compared to these days but i'd give anything to have a version of MK64 with better graphics and the SAME of everything else, just more courses! ::D
@TheLydianRocks - I agree. It was the combination of those aspects that really made the game rememberable.
I appreciate Nintendo's attempts at refreshing the franchise with every title that they release, but they often remove features that made previous Mario Kart games popular.
Plus in the two latest games, the only real 'difficulty' is that the game punishes skilled players by having the A.I target them repeatedly with items, which leads to many frustrating losses.
@MrChristopherCourage ARGJH I KNOW!! The fucking blue shells Piss me off, and the item settings suck so if it's not on below recommended it sucks. Still a great game>
@TheLydianRocks - I have to admit though, they improved the behaviour of the Blue Shell in Mario Kart 7 by having it move along the ground again. Since Double Dash, the Blue Shell would simply pass over the other positions, usually hitting only the leader.
However, whilst the Blue Shell is slightly more 'balanced', the A.I are now extremely efficient with Green Shells and will get some ridiculous shots on other racers.
It's a shame players can't alter item settings in Grand Prix mode.
@TheLydianRocks - Content-wise, I would like to see the return of the Mission mode from Mario Kart DS. It helped extend the single-player game time and was really entertaining.
Better graphics are always welcome, but since Double Dash, the visuals haven't changed dramatically. Maybe the Wii U will change that.
The thing I'd love to see is every course from the Mario Kart franchise on one game (all 112), but I don't see that ever happening.
@hungryhippo247 - Yeah, I agree that nostalgia is a part of why I like this game so much, but I do not let it cloud my judgement as a gamer.
Like I said: there are better Mario Kart games in the franchise, but it's the combination of what MK64 had to offer which still makes it a fun game to play. I only recently purchased SMK on the Wii, but I actually prefer it over MK Wii.
MK Wii is a great game, but the A.I. cheating is worse than its predecessors, and it ruins the single player =(
@mcdade89 - I can guarantee you that if I have any children/grandchildren, I will make them play this game and I will beat them! I'm quite satisfied with the idea of being an old man playing Mario Kart 64 for the rest of his days.
I never had an n64, but I remember being a 3-year-old, playing SMW with with my Dad. I used to suck at that game, but it was so much fun. Now, ten years later, I'd still rather play a Nintendo console more than any other system.
@PerogiXW ok, ok. They were re-released to introduce NEW FANS. I sold my Wii 2 years ago after realizing how shit it was. I'm now a proud owner of an Xbox 360, a Playstation 3, and a Nintendo 3DS. But, come on, out of the quality games that Nintendo has, they're all 1st party. I just think they could've made good marketing attempts when they had power (2006-2008ish) instead of releasing shit games one-after-another.
@ForGermanTwo I don't think you're giving any of their new stuff a chance.
A few days ago I beat "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword", (really new game) and it's one of the greatest games or possibly THE greatest game I've ever played in my entire life.
@LlamasInYourCloset I have played it. I don't own a wii though :C but, I played it a lot over break. It's great. But, come on, it's like nintendo likes to give us 3 games a year? wtf.
@ForGermanTwo way more than 3! BUT.. that's why we have other developers.
Retro Studios, Grezzo, HAL, Game Freak, ect. Plus, Nintendo puts a TON of effort into their games. i mean it's not like Microsoft & Sony made 8 games this year or something. their consoles have a ton of 3rd party support. the Wii doesn't.
@ForGermanTwo I'm not really that great a fan of this track, but this song as itself reminds me of the late 90s when Nintendo & Sony stood proud in the gaming world & actually made good games for us to love, cherish & enjoy. But this was before Nintendo grew desperate & Sony became increasingly inept. And this was also when the 2 companies actually showed respect for one another as well (Nintendo actually used to try some Sony games back then, & vice versa, giving them a sense of friendship...)
@ForGermanTwo I agree. Remember when the games were simply made to have fun? Playstation 1, the N64, and all the good consoles. then comes the era of money (Wii-360-PS3) now all the companies care about is money...
@ForGermanTwo Would you mind explaining how that's a bad thing? What company doesn't care about money? Without money, they're unable to make entertaining video games to satisfy people. They cared about money back then, and they care about it now. I mean they don't ONLY care about money either. They're always innovating and finding new ways for people to have fun playing video games too.
Nobody's gonna read this anyway, but this needs to be said.
I actually didn't grow up with an N64; I considered myself lucky when I got a Game Boy Advance that I couldn't play in direct sunlight.
First console I got was a Wii. Loved it. Both Super Mario Galaxy(s) are amazing games, and there's a lot of other games that I'll look back at and remember.
I can understand all of your guy's love for nostalgia, but, please: respect my lack of it.
@BuoyBase I totally respect where you're coming from, but... you're on a youtube video of the soundtrack of mario kart 64. This is nostalgia lane so... yeah.
@BuoyBase you have a wii so go on the wii shop chanel and go buy mario kart 64 mario 64 ocarina of time majora`s mask and starfox 64 and you will understand how awesome was the n64
@BuoyBase Are you asking us to respect your ignorance? I won't do that. I'll DISRESPECT IT. Why? Because ignorance should never be lauded. Ignorance due to socioeconomic circumstances, well... it shouldn't be lauded but it's not evil. However, "willing ignorance," or stubborn ignorance, should never be lauded or respected. You have the power the internet; research and play. It's very, very easy. To say otherwise is just plain lazy.
@BuoyBase - You have a very good point that most people choose to ignore. It makes sense that people will like games that they grew up with and that what aspects they like will stick with them.
Newer games in a franchise will usually improve upon the original game. You mentioned Super Mario Galaxy, a game that acts as a sequel to Sunshine and 64. It's a great game and is almost superior to its predecessors in every way.
Therefore when I say that I prefer Mario 64, it almost makes no sense.
@BuoyBase But that is how you build nostalga! One day when the wii is a older console and we have younger generations of gamers, you'll have a similar feeling to many of us older gamers of great and fun nostalgic games, all came from nintendo whether your an old gamer or a younger these games are so timeless.
@BuoyBase totally understand, I grew up with dreamcast and GBA, and I never really played a console until the Wii, since my brother always played the PS2/Gamecube and at the time I was actually terrified by Master Hand, and had nightmares since until I was 11 from age 5-6, so Im kinda on your track. BUT, now I just play PS3 since the Wii was a dissapointment and not many games that I would play for hours on end(with the exception of Brawl of course).
@BuoyBase hey i was born in 2000 and yet i grew up with super mario 64 when i rented galaxy 2 and got to throwback galaxy I CRIED i got to play a classic in 2005 i didnt know abaut a gamecube i got cable i wanted a ds then one day i got a gba sp i was happy until the batery swelled then i got a ds from santa (dont laugh)
i was so happy
now i just wanna find the perfect game a modern game with the dificulty of a classic were 1-ups arent easy to get
@thegiantnintedofan I had a suspicion. I too am a modern kid that plays classics, I'm just, you know, old enough to be on Youtube without illegally lying about my age.
@BuoyBase It's your choice if you want to live without it. But there's a reason why our childhood was awesome, so I suggest the following:
1. get 40 bucks
2. ebay.com
3. get yourself a cheap n64 that WILL work (blowing cartridge rule) + either Mario Kart, SM64, BanjoKazooie, Paper Mario, Yoshi Story, Pokemon Stadium or Super Smash Brothers
4. lock up and darken the room
5. enjoy.
We're not criticizing you for lacking a n64. We want you to enjoy the same things we did, bro.
I grew up with this one, super mario kart and super circuit and il freely admit they are the best in the serie because they were mental, i mean lightning bolt in 2nd? spike shells which took out EVERYONE infront of you rather than just first? you never get these anymore, such a shame if im honest, back then it was really fun to play now, its all tame and safe :/ except double dash of course :P they need to remake the classics to bring back the mentallity which made it so addictive
I remember getting this game for christmass straight after the n64 came out this was one of the best games ever out back then now its all about fps and mmo bull shit
this song makes me long for the 90's , when Nintendo was dominating the video game market, there wern't any brainwashed COD,Xbox,and Sony fanboys,and most of all, when children's childhoods were filled with plumbers wearing red caps and saving princesses,not dumb Xbox 360 or ps3, with their bloody horrible nightmares flooded with swearing and killing,and their brainwashed minions that overly criticize anything Nintendo related.
Actually playing these old games doesn't make you a Noob it actually makes you a "Smart Elder-One" because the real Noob games would be mw3 and today's games because they haven't been out that long(noobs) while the classics have been around way longer (pros)
hey youtubers, i just posted a video response showing the differences between mario kart 7 and mario kart 64. if you guys have time, please watch and enjoy!
Haha Im 22 and its been quite some time since i last heard this song. It actually gave me a lump in my throat and i am not ashamed to say it at all!! Go nintendo!
i'm crying right now. not only because this song is so beautyful, but because i don't have an n64. i'm 15 years old and my parents doesn't allow top buy a n 64. i wish i was born earlier to play this game, because the way how great it was it will never be that great anymore. EVER (sniff sniff)
I came here because someone in a review said that diddy kong racing music is better than this. I wanna go throw that guy out of the window for saying that!!
I remember playing this game on christmas and just about to finish on rainbow road that night the colors were so fitting to it and of course the music. And then the credits rolled and that music had me looking forward to a new year.
i'm 14 and i have a PS3, but I also still have my gamecube, N64. a 3DS, and for christmas my uncle gave me his SNES. i prefer Nintendo over Sony and Microsoft. You CAN'T beat the classics. I grew up on Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, and Starfox. I have all those games for the 3DS. People tease me because i like Nintendo better than PS3 ans Xbox. They call me a noob and stuff, but unlike them, i had a good and fun childhood. Nintendo brings back memories while Call of Duty takes over lifes.
@xXshadowlugia97Xx Don't you ever be ashamed for liking Nintendo more than Sony and Microsoft. I feel you pain, too; people always beat on how Nintendo is for little kids, but man, those people have no idea. I feel so sorry that they don't know the awesomeness that is Nintendo. You're on the right track, dude, and stay on it.
@SuperAwesomeTiago ok i could not have said that better myself no matter how hard i could try. i agree completely. even the wii manages to make good memorable games like super mario galaxy while sony and microsoft are just all about making crappy shooters that are absolutely terrible
@SuperAwesomeTiago I'm glad to see that there is still hope for the newer generation of gamers to play quality games instead of cheap games made just for profit and nothing else. You will always be better than your "friends" because of the fact that you know what a good game actually is.
@SuperAwesomeTiago Lets see: when the Wii came out, it had amazing graphics at the time and, if I remember right, the System is home to the game that has more F-Bombs (House of the Dead: Overkill) in it than any other game made. If they call it kiddy because their biased on CoD, their calling themselves kiddy because the Wii has CoD games, too. It was the first system to make good use of Motion-detection. and also has more variety in games, instead of constant FPS games.
@CStars55 And if you were to take away the money-making CoD from systems like the PS3, then there's what, just Little Big Planet for it: they would probably end up bankrupted if they relied simply on that one series (which in my opinion, isn't that good). As for the XBox, then Halo, and then after that, nothing really amazing. Take away CoD from the Wii, you get Mario, then Zelda, then Kirby, then Pokemon, then Starfox, then Megaman, and the list goes on. Point is: don't rely on one game series.
"Nintendo brings back memories while Call of Duty takes over lifes."
For those words you deserve all the cookies my mom just made, I remember playing this all day when I was 3 years old with my brother... I am glad I still have all my old games...
@guapopollo Thank you i love cookies :) and stay with Nintendo. I`m glad to hear you had a fun childhood. I think everyone here still remembers. I know i do
@xXshadowlugia97Xx Nintendo will always be the best, sony's not bad, im not a big fan of xboxes.Any mario game will keep you up till 12:00 or later trying to beat a level, a circuit, game or world :)
@xXshadowlugia97Xx who gives a f*k of what people tell you that you still play these games lol they probaly are jealous because they never had a childhood memory just like you or maybe think of this games for nerds but these games are for anybody "E" anybody games like COD make people mad angry like when they play online and dont kill that person they get so mad and pissed to other innocent people and "M" for mature only COD mature people only play it not little kids..

@TheLydianRocks - I have to admit though, they improved the behaviour of the Blue Shell in Mario Kart 7 by having it move along the ground again. Since Double Dash, the Blue Shell would simply pass over the other positions, usually hitting only the leader.
However, whilst the Blue Shell is slightly more 'balanced', the A.I are now extremely efficient with Green Shells and will get some ridiculous shots on other racers.
It's a shame players can't alter item settings in Grand Prix mode.
MrChristopherCourage 2 weeks ago
@TheLydianRocks - Content-wise, I would like to see the return of the Mission mode from Mario Kart DS. It helped extend the single-player game time and was really entertaining.
Better graphics are always welcome, but since Double Dash, the visuals haven't changed dramatically. Maybe the Wii U will change that.
The thing I'd love to see is every course from the Mario Kart franchise on one game (all 112), but I don't see that ever happening.

hungryhippo247 1 week ago
@hungryhippo247 - Yeah, I agree that nostalgia is a part of why I like this game so much, but I do not let it cloud my judgement as a gamer.
Like I said: there are better Mario Kart games in the franchise, but it's the combination of what MK64 had to offer which still makes it a fun game to play. I only recently purchased SMK on the Wii, but I actually prefer it over MK Wii.
MK Wii is a great game, but the A.I. cheating is worse than its predecessors, and it ruins the single player =(

I never had an n64, but I remember being a 3-year-old, playing SMW with with my Dad. I used to suck at that game, but it was so much fun. Now, ten years later, I'd still rather play a Nintendo console more than any other system.

@PerogiXW ok, ok. They were re-released to introduce NEW FANS. I sold my Wii 2 years ago after realizing how shit it was. I'm now a proud owner of an Xbox 360, a Playstation 3, and a Nintendo 3DS. But, come on, out of the quality games that Nintendo has, they're all 1st party. I just think they could've made good marketing attempts when they had power (2006-2008ish) instead of releasing shit games one-after-another.

@ForGermanTwo way more than 3! BUT.. that's why we have other developers.

@ForGermanTwo I'm not really that great a fan of this track, but this song as itself reminds me of the late 90s when Nintendo & Sony stood proud in the gaming world & actually made good games for us to love, cherish & enjoy. But this was before Nintendo grew desperate & Sony became increasingly inept. And this was also when the 2 companies actually showed respect for one another as well (Nintendo actually used to try some Sony games back then, & vice versa, giving them a sense of friendship...)

@ForGermanTwo Would you mind explaining how that's a bad thing? What company doesn't care about money? Without money, they're unable to make entertaining video games to satisfy people. They cared about money back then, and they care about it now. I mean they don't ONLY care about money either. They're always innovating and finding new ways for people to have fun playing video games too.

Nobody's gonna read this anyway, but this needs to be said.
I actually didn't grow up with an N64; I considered myself lucky when I got a Game Boy Advance that I couldn't play in direct sunlight.
First console I got was a Wii. Loved it. Both Super Mario Galaxy(s) are amazing games, and there's a lot of other games that I'll look back at and remember.
I can understand all of your guy's love for nostalgia, but, please: respect my lack of it.

You have the power the internet; research and play. It's very, very easy. To say otherwise is just plain lazy.
monosaturated 2 weeks ago
@BuoyBase - You have a very good point that most people choose to ignore. It makes sense that people will like games that they grew up with and that what aspects they like will stick with them.
Newer games in a franchise will usually improve upon the original game. You mentioned Super Mario Galaxy, a game that acts as a sequel to Sunshine and 64. It's a great game and is almost superior to its predecessors in every way.
Therefore when I say that I prefer Mario 64, it almost makes no sense.
MrChristopherCourage 2 weeks ago
@BuoyBase But that is how you build nostalga! One day when the wii is a older console and we have younger generations of gamers, you'll have a similar feeling to many of us older gamers of great and fun nostalgic games, all came from nintendo whether your an old gamer or a younger these games are so timeless.

3. get yourself a cheap n64 that WILL work (blowing cartridge rule) + either Mario Kart, SM64, BanjoKazooie, Paper Mario, Yoshi Story, Pokemon Stadium or Super Smash Brothers
4. lock up and darken the room
5. enjoy.
We're not criticizing you for lacking a n64. We want you to enjoy the same things we did, bro.

Sure, I have a PS3, a Wii, a 360, etc.
My N64 and PS1 lie in my kitchen, plugged in, ready to play whenever I desire.
My mum said to me "You have a wii and PS3 now, why don't you get right of those?"
I looked to her, to them, and back to her.
"Why would I abandon the greatest moments of my entire childhood?"
And I turned on Mario Kart 64, and played it all day.
I saw out of the corner of my eye as luigi Circuit was loading.

SuperAwesomeTiago 3 weeks ago
@SuperAwesomeTiago Lets see: when the Wii came out, it had amazing graphics at the time and, if I remember right, the System is home to the game that has more F-Bombs (House of the Dead: Overkill) in it than any other game made. If they call it kiddy because their biased on CoD, their calling themselves kiddy because the Wii has CoD games, too. It was the first system to make good use of Motion-detection. and also has more variety in games, instead of constant FPS games.
CStars55 3 weeks ago
@CStars55 And if you were to take away the money-making CoD from systems like the PS3, then there's what, just Little Big Planet for it: they would probably end up bankrupted if they relied simply on that one series (which in my opinion, isn't that good). As for the XBox, then Halo, and then after that, nothing really amazing. Take away CoD from the Wii, you get Mario, then Zelda, then Kirby, then Pokemon, then Starfox, then Megaman, and the list goes on. Point is: don't rely on one game series.
