- Playlist: • Mario Kart 64 (Restored)
This song was restored using the original source samples for each instrument. I used N64 Soundbank Tool for ripping the sequence data, FL Studio for rendering the audio with the original samples, and Audacity for mixing everything together. I've tried to make it sound as close to the original as I can, though there could be some mistakes here or there.
You can find a lossless download for this song (and others) here:

If you want to use this in a video you're free to do so, though credit would be greatly appreciated! However, please don't just re-upload the songs yourself and claim them as your own.

*What's changed since the original restoration?*
The biggest change in this new version is that the vibrato effect on the flute and guitar is now present! (I don't know _how_ I managed to miss this in the first place). Though unfortunately, since there isn't a way to rip the sequence data with the vibrato intact (that I know of) I've had to recreate the effect by hand. It probably isn't perfect, but I'd say it's still a massive improvement over the last version which had none at all.
In addition, the samples for the bass and starbell (that twinkling sound) have now been replaced with higher quality ones, and the mixing has been tweaked slightly to hopefully improve it somewhat.
I hope you enjoy!
Nice
Very nice
Incredibly beautiful tune
Its perfect! 🎉👌
Excellent
I swear I remember it sounding EXACTLY this good.
There are two reasons people cry on rainbow road
1. It's too hard
2. The memories
The absolute cleanest remix I've ever heard of this song.
You know it's good because even when you crank the volume, it doesn't clip at all.
By the way, you all came here for 1:37
Not really. SNES Rainbow Road is still the best!
@@Mastabacc I respectfully disagree
Imagine that part with the electric guitar ❤
@@Mastabacc SNES Rainbow Road isn't _bad,_ but in my personal opinion it can't hold a candle to 64's Rainbow Road.
Imagine hearing this for the first time as a Nintendo exec during production and just sitting back in your chair as you realize this game is definitely gonna be a hit
the SNES version helped the N64 version be a big hit
I know others will criticize it’s length and lack of difficulty, but after the ball ache that was banshee boardwalk, we deserve a nice peaceful track.
FOR REAL.
You aren't racing hard enough if Rainbow Road is peaceful. This was a white knuckled marathon with me and my buddies VS you were glad to hit that finish line. Of course we had also just did a straight run through every course in the game back to back so Rainbow Road was that last final LOOOONG race. Then again we cut our teeth on the 24 hr gran turismo races haha
@@adcraziness1501 Sounds really great. Wish I was alive 1996.
Simply amazing to hear my childhood favorite course in such a high quality. I love it. Thank you.
It's beautiful... My favorite track from Mario Kart 64 in all its glory. Thank you
n64 rainbow road will always be my favourite track and music.
I have no nostalgic attachment to this song. Didn't have this game as a kid, played it a couple of times at a friend's house, barely remember those days.
But I've always loved this song. Hearing it beyond the capabilities of the N64 is a wonderful treat.
I would love a full orchestra to play this. It would sound epic
mario kart 8 says hi
@@Victini7472 MK64 version is still better than MK8 rendition.
@@Victini7472that version sounds more jazzy than orchestrated, though.
@@LIGHTANGEL_EX fair
Mario Kart 8?
And the nostalgia hits again, this is beautifully restored, thank you for taking the time and dedication to it 💙✨
This sounds incredible!
That star SFX ❤
This is an actual masterpiece i wish this high quality music was in the actual game though but it was good music for its time.
Tears .....what a time we had playing this level knowing we almost finished it ..
you could learn a language in the time it takes you to finish the track
Back then racing on this track felt like the ultimate endurance...I think it would still be today.
It's beautiful.
Nice change of pace after hearing that one minor key version of this song somewhere out there on YT a few weeks ago 😉
Amazing!
I just saw that a few minutes ago... I didn't think much of the music, but the comments are... intense
An old classic ❤
We appreciate your hard work.
Just realized mario kart 64 is the first mario kart game to have all its tracks remaked
2 words, Wario Stadium.
@@GamEntertain2 words; I forgor
@@Equalizer2922 An easy mistake considering MK8 remade DS Wario Stadium.
I’ve always loved the bassline 🙌🏾
And idk if it’s because the original was more muffled but to me, it always sounded like the bass and an electric guitar playing in the same octave. Then again, that was my kid ears
Awesome :')
Btw i wish a restored ver of the opening and title screen for super circuit
boy do I have news for you: czcams.com/video/3yu2ZwFq3VI/video.html
The type of music track to break me into tears
Relatable
This is perfect.
my pet jellray going at the speed of light looking for the nearest carnivore to get eaten by
absolutely crystal clear
It's beautiful..
takes me back to good times. getting dragged across a treadmill turned on high, getting darts to the head, just kids being kids
WWWWWAHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Great work! Really takes me back to my childhood. Question: I would love to use this for my videos (providing due credit to you!), but do you have/need a license from Nintendo or the composer if you start to get $$ from CZcams?
You don't need a license from Nintendo if the video isn't just the original unmodified song with a visual and nothing else. It won't demonetize to use unmodified or modified Nintendo music in the background of your videos or making a video just about a modified version of the song (like this one).
Iconic!
1:37 - 2:11 BEAUTIFUL!!! 👏
1:50 that drop was peak music
Normal speed: nostalgia
1.20x speed: amazing
excellent!
Dude I cried
Instant tears
AWESOME 4k resolution audio
roland jd-990, jv-1080, and sound canvas sc-88, korg wavestation a/d and digidesign samplecell 2 cd-rom library #1 all used.
WHOA...
This need to be in Mario kart HD mod
Rainbow Road (OST Version)
but srsly though this is lovely
It’s awesome
My favorite Mario song of all time.
This sounds great for a Mario Kart Wii CT.
Exactly
Way better ❤
all of these restored tracks should be ported into andrats mk64 hd proj if they're not already
I think it's possible with PC Port. Changing the audio system to stream audio instead of sequencer.
Wtf qué bien quedó, hasta pensé que era el original totalmente
Es la original tontis, solo esta con la calidad original no comprimida como en el N64
@@VjRoboZ me exita que me digan tontis
Awww tontis 💗@@eirengames
@@VjRoboZ me recordaste a una ex novia
HEAVEN!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope this is where I go when I die.
if you put in 1.25 sounds like final lap
I like doing that to my favorite tracks so I get to hear the final lap version
The audio is like the disk DD (Sountrack more clearly like F-Zero X EXpansion Kit) :>
Could you please do Mario Kart Super Circuit's Title theme?
In another time line when installed of Nintendo switch online we got a full mario kart remaster collection
Aka Super Mario Kart Pack
HEAVEN!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Please make an extended version of this & upload it on CZcams for us!!
damn I wish I lived in the 90s
It was a simpler time. Carefree and optimistic.
Imagine that in a minor key
Oh, if you only knew...
Fun fact, there's already a n64 Rainbow Road in Minor Key edit on youtube.
is this track on spotify?
Can this be extended
I don’t know if you still make videos, but I have a request. Could you do the trophy ceremony music in this game please? That was always my favorite song.
It's just sounds the same as the original, what changed? Is it just not compressed for the console to support it?
The N64 cartridge could only hold so much data, so sounds were compressed to hell. Well, everything was, to be fair, but the difference in quality between this and what comes out of an N64 is night and day.
This is the same song without any compression. Well, excluding the fact that CZcams applies its own.
@@MajorasWrath1 well in description there is download without the youtube compression, so it trully doesnt have ANY compression
@@MajorasWrath1 it was less about cartridge space and more about RAM
Nintendo cripped it with the tiny amount of memory they gave it
The N64 did compress music, yes, but not nearly to the extent of SNES or GBA; so the difference won’t be _that_ noticeable unfortunately.
I can no longer taste the pixels
Nice, I'd say the snare seems a bit loud in the early parts and the trumpets need some tweaking
but otherwise it's a really good version
I dub this song "Antidepression"
Mario Kart 8 Version is way better, but this one has it's own charm!
WOW super cool Mario in miusic restored
Rainbow dash
No.
Rainbow Crash
How this soundtrack so good in the worst rainbow road in the series
There's a higher quality version available. In 2005, Nintendo gave this song an official release sourced from the original master track.
It was featured in a compilation album exclusive to Club Nintendo members.
It's on CZcams. Search for "Nintendo Sound Selection Vol. 3 Luigi Rainbow Road".
Enjoy.
