Mario Kart Wii: "Dry Castle" (Dry Bowser's Waltz) (Fanmade Theme)

HQ link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1PB2bEE9fk&fmt=18

Sad. Evil. Bone-chilling.

Home to the third 'Pipe Cup' course of the fictitious fan-designed "Mario Kart Wii: Royal Prix" -- and the game's penultimate track -- Dry Castle is the creepy, sinister and neglected abode of Bowser's skeletal kin, Dry Bowser.

To depict Dry Castle and its groaning masterlord, I have conceived a rather experimental work: an epic rock waltz, in "3/4 time". This is not at all usual for Mario Kart music; every other Mario Kart music track in history has been in "4/4 time".

For those who have listened to my "Finale & End Credits" track, you may notice that this is indeed the same melody in a minor key. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwHk6jCfNwM to see how Dry Bowser's Waltz has been morphed into an uplifting finale theme!

The piece uses a mixture of guitar harmonics and Indian-inspired instrumentation to depict the ancient living-dead character of Dry Bowser, awash with its unrelenting spiralling arpeggiated accompaniment to suggest his internal insanity. Note the five heartbeats beginning at 0:48; these echo in Dry Bowser's wistful memory of the days he was "alive".

No, Eggman is a man shaped like an egg.

@Smashdude14 If Bowser's so great, why obsessed with kidnapping the SAME LAME DAME and keeps LOSING to so many player-controlled characters?!

[mrbenio]

That's what they should've named the Bowser Castle for MK7, but noooooo, they had to give him TWO more tracks! Hey ya Kerog, how about putting those stolen coins to GOOD use for once?!

I'm picturing a ruined Bowser's Castle... as though one of the old castles was abandoned and is now is disrepair, with skeletons scattered about and fire spewing through the floors... Somebody make this level, PLEASE. With this music of course =D
