Well, everyone, this is it. This game has officially come to an end... For making an ending theme of a great DLC, this is an amazing one we had in a while. This really sent a perfect goodbye message to all of us playing and appreciating the work. Fills with emotion and amazing work of rearrangements. I also love the transitions between segments of each song, especially most of them are from Tour (while I'm still unable to play that game, they really gave Tour recognition very nicely despite it being heavily criticized). To end this whole comment. Here's a "credits roll" of my own: • I want to firstly say thank you, TZGaming, for providing these bangers since the very first wave. They're also done very quickly while uploading them in very high quality and good care. I'm glad I discovered your channel because of this. • Also, special thanks to all other great music users who participated in uploading them: Gaming Player123, Dave's OSTs, ZakkroMD, RontoS, Yoshi VGM, Aarco Xtensions, & much more. Thanks to all composers who made the best soundtracks possible, mainly done by Ryo Nagamatsu. • Huge thank you to Nintendo for making the best racing game on a Nintendo system within the Switch version's life span of 6 years and adding the original version with a total of 9 YEARS. • And a final thank you to everyone playing the game and all the viewers listening to the soundtrack. And to everyone reading, have a very nice day! 👋❤️
Looking back over the past 9 years, Mario Kart 8 has had an impressive 12 bouts of DLC. Don’t believe me? Let’s count. 1. The Mercedes Benz collaboration 2. The Amiibo update 3. DLC pack 1 (2014) 4. DLC pack 2 (2015) 5. Added Deluxe port features 6. Hero of the Wild + Master Cycle Zero 7. BCP wave 1 8. BCP wave 2 9. BCP wave 3 10. BCP wave 4 11. BCP wave 5 12. BCP wave 6 That’s crazy!

Keep in mind that the DLC came out months before his retirement. What if he already had all of his songs planned before the DLC even ended, since his name is in the DLC credits. Plus, there's lots of new composers I didn't mention. Feel free to leave off any corrections or better possible theories if mine's isn't the greatest to you.
I always asked myself the same thing, about why on Wii U there was no postcard at the end of the game, I think that maybe the game was not over yet. RIP mk8 (2014-2023) ❤️
This really feels like an homage to Tour. Which honestly, these Tour devs deserve way more credit and their work deserves to be solidified. This is the credits music Tour never got to have.
Never thought about that It's true that thanks to tour, we got the bcp The tour crew do need that credit since they had to do tour & then probably remaking them for 8
Since MK8 uses the SNES leitmotif on the title theme, it makes perfect sense that the end of Mario Kart 8 ends with a SNES leitmotif. Great job Nintendo!
Now before anyone say "But Mario Kart 64 still has the SNES leitmotif, it's just slowed down", please check your ears and read the notes. Similar but not the same. Majority of past Mario Kart uses the N64 leitmotif than the SNES in terms of tempo. Go speed up the N64 version and tell me that it's the same. I'd say the N64 is its own leitmotif, separating from the SNES.
@@Miguel92398 It's the same. While the notes are slightly different, there's no doubt that Mario Kart 64's title theme is a remix of Super Mario Kart's title theme. It's like how the main motif of the underground theme of Super Mario Bros. is shortened to thee notes in Super Mario Sunshine's Delfino Airstrip theme and yet we can clearly tell it is a remix of the underground theme. So yes, I will say "Mario Kart 64 still has the SNES leitmotif, it's just slowed down," though with some asterisks.
This felt like such a heart felt goodbye. This game has gone on strong for over 9 whole years, which honestly an amazing feat. I will be forever greatful to Nintendo for the gem that is Mario Kart 8. Thanks for all the memories you gave to us, Nintendo.
This along with tour was Mario Kart 9 I'm glad they finally took a page out of modders book with CTGP and made their own.... will be playing these for a long time to come. Bring on MKX

This is truly the best DLC for a game that I’ve ever seen.
What a beautiful comment dude Every wave of this booster course, from the anticipation to each release, to the countless theories about which tracks were getting in, has been an absolute treat to experience. This dlc has been one HELL of a ride and I'm glad to have spent it with people like you, appreciating all this dlc has to offer. Hope to see you in the comments when 9 comes out in a few decades lol
Once again, It is STILL a Sunset, and that it's just a background gimmick that contributes ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the actual race and course. It's still a decent Desert Course (although I would have preferred GBA Yoshi Desert or even Wii Dry Dry Ruins). Get over it already!
@@b1galbos89it's worth noting that the reason why there is not sunset is because of the way Mario kart 8's lighting works. it is not possible for it to dynamically change mid race like that without significant lag tmk. Tour has a much simpler lighting system so It was able to pull it off.
@@b1galbos89Yeah, graphics mean nothing either in terms of gameplay, but if every track had no color and was all just a bunch of white platforms there would be issues. Its about presentation.
We will never forget Mario Kart 8 for being what is probably the greatest racing game of all time now that it is finally complete. These credits really are the true ending. Here’s to the next game my friends!
@@mii-its-a-nerdI don't think it will be called that. Probably will go back to a name thing instead of numbers. It avoids the "is the next game 9 or 10" controversy, and it won't confuse anyone who avoided Tour, which is claimed to be the 9th game.
Part of me wishes their respective tracks sounded as jazzy as they do in this, but the remixes we ended up getting were so fire I can't complain TOO much
3:19 Just when you think Madrid Drive couldn't get any better, they hit you with the sickest Spanish guitar ever Ole qué arte, ojalá tener una versión completa
0:00 - Kicking it off with the end of the first installment. 0:37 - A shift to the beginning of this DLC journey. 1:07 - Hyping things up a bit with an epic flute solo and electronic beat. 1:32 - One more awesome performance of one of the most loved city track themes of all time. 1:52 - An electronic song gets a brass section glowup with a stunning sax solo. 2:16 - Everything stops, builds up, and gets hype again, plus a trumpet solo that sounds incredible. 2:51 - No words can describe this performance of this beach/baseball/oil field track's theme. 3:18 - The band calms down a little but then they bring out an acoustic guitar and start popping off. 3:49 - A banger finish to the Tour segment of the credits theme. 4:12 - Finishing it all off the same way we finished the first game in the series. What a fricking incredible credits theme.
The use of Super Mario Kart's credits caught me off guard. A very good reminder of just how far we've come, just like use of the title screen music in the regular Staff Roll.
It’s a shame that not every Tour course is included in this banger. I would’ve loved to hear Sydney Sprint, Yoshi’s Island and Squeaky Clean Sprint, just to name a few.
@@VancouverVelocityFan imagine if they did include every tour track in this but pipeline was cut after they made the credits song so it was just there anyway
I mean, it’s got some seriously tough competition from the 3D Mario games, but it’s 100% up there (and definitely the best from Mario Kart specifically)
@@ZombieManF the snes leitmotif was the selling point for me, mario kart 8 is known for having the best music in the entire mario series, im super glad the entire ost for the game was made with a live band
The original credits felt like the end of a racing tournament. This is the end of a journey. The credits background feels like coming home from a world tour, with a collection of the memories made along the way, not just of the DLC, but of the game as a whole. Thank you for nearly a decade of memories, Mario Kart 8. I am incredibly hopeful for the future of the series! Also, fun fact, the original game didn't have a character group photo like the previous game, but now it does! Full circle, baby!
I began my Mario Kart 8 journey in 2014 upon release on the Wii U. This game has always brought me joy and im so grateful to be apart of this community and I’m looking forward to see what Nintendo does with the MK franchise.
I remember playing through all the original 32 courses for the first time while my best friend watched. Surprised at how quickly it went, he shouted "We want DLC!" Boy did that wish come true, in spades!
I must say, this DLC has been a wild ride. Literally. *Wave 1* Some people overlooked the DLC during its first days, likely because it was porting over tracks from Tour. But if anything, I'd say the main selling point was _Wii Coconut Mall_ due to how immensely popular it is. I was mainly excited to have new places to race in. *Wave 2* The hype started to build up. Not only do the more popular tracks make their way in, but _Sky-High Sundae_ is an _original_ track. It's very obvious that _DS Waluigi Pinball_ was the main selling point of this wave. You could tell people were _bouncing off the walls like pinballs to bumpers._ *Wave 3* Ending 2022 with style. It's now clear that this DLC is widely adored, especially with how good the tracks look compared to Tour. Also, items in non-Grand Prix races can now be toggled with Custom Items. My favorite is clearly _3DS Rainbow Road_ which, fittingly, ends the Moon Cup and the 2022 section of the DLC. *Wave 4* New drivers started pouring in. There was only one in this pack (that being _Birdo_ and her colored variants), but the tracks kept coming, and they're all promising. Although people tend to glare at _DS Mario Circuit_ for reasons, I would have to say my favorite track there is _Yoshi's Island_ due to it not just being original, but having proper representation of the Yoshi series. Now the Wario series just needs a (non-Arcade) track... Perhaps in the future ahead of us? *Wave 5* We got three new drivers this time around. _Kamek_ is widely known for having been cut from the ORIGINAL MK8, _Wiggler_ is widely known because...well, Wiggler on Wiggler, and _Petey Piranha_ is a favorite to most if not all. _Wii Moonview Highway_ and _Squeaky Clean Sprint_ are what I'd consider to be my favorites for this wave. _GBA Sunset Wilds_ WAS going to be a favorite, but then it was discovered that it doesn't become night as the race processes. I was bummed out, and I knew people were angry about it. *Wave 6* The very end. Four new drivers came along: _Peachette_ - Toadette with a crown, _Pauline_ - mayor of New Donk City, _Diddy Kong_ - DK's little buddy... and _Funky Kong_ - known as THE most popular character in Mario Kart Wii. No, really. Plus, a whole army of new Mii Racing Suits and a way to listen to track music from the menu. Even if you don't own the DLC, you can still play the DLC track songs! My personal favorite would be _Wii Rainbow Road_ - not only does it end the Spiny Cup, but it ends the 2023 section AND the DLC overall. Plus, all the little tidbits that weren't in Tour were added back. Yes, you still combust into flames as you fall towards the atmosphere of Earth. I had a lot of fun times with all these tracks, and I know y'all can do the same. Also, I have to admit, seeing there being a new credits sequence made me feel emotional...in a good way. It was like the end of a journey - _and it is._ Mad props to Nintendo for piecing together this masterpiece, and all y'all for riding along with them. It's been a real pleasure driving across these 48 tracks. I look forward to the distant future of Mario Kart.
The first time I heard this after completing the final cup of the wave, I was like, "why does the opening sound so familiar?" Then it hit me. When it did, god did I nearly cry. This game truly is amazing and it's crazy it has lasted this long
Dropping Funky Kong and Wii Rainbow Road in the same wave was like the biggest present i could get as a wii fan. funnily it was my birthday not long ago. so happy abt that
This is one of the best pieces of music in Nintendo history. It's hard to say whether this is better than the original MK8 credits theme, they both have their pros and cons. But I think this one does a better job giving a Tour (pun intended) of the new songs in the game. And as a saxophonist, of course I love the Singapore Speedway solo. The Vancouver Velocity trumpet solo is also really great. It is cool how they took 2 of the most electronic sounding songs and put live solos over them. Also, everybody is saying goodbye to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and while that might be true for the devs, I don't think it is time for us to say goodbye yet. After 6 YEARS, we finally get to see and play everything this game has to offer.
here you can see the love that nintendo put into giving a nice gift to their fans by giving them a short but relaxing version of the DLC tracks I love you and in case we don't see each other again, good morning, good afternoon and good evening. (Edit): We will soon come back here for the nostalgia and remember the good times we had playing the DLC.
I love this so much because it gives every instrument ample time in the spotlight. The flute and bass on Ninja Hidaway, the screaming sax on Singapore, the trumpet just having fun and improvising on Vancouver, and the freaking Spanish guitar on Madrid. Just a masterpiece on every way shape and form.
I still fondly remember the first time i had the chance to play MK8's E3 demo at Best Buy. I was blown away and counted the days to release. A decade later and MK8 turned out even better than my wildest dreams. These staff credits brought a tear to my eye knowing this is truly the end of an era.
Wow, this whole song was just an experience to listen to. I absolutely loved every second of it. The beginning with the SNES’s Super Mario Kart credits theme was so perfect. It felt like a true ending and farewell to this amazing game. I am awestruck in wonder. I absolutely loved this. I got chills tho right this whole thing. The ending was so perfect. It got me choked up and in tears a bit. Nintendo thank you so much. You make the video game music.
I will always love big band, I love how they referenced a lot of Tour songs in the credits since that is why the BCP exists. I really hope future Mario kart games stay live band, or even better, have this group of talented people stay. But overall, thank you Mario Kart 8 for all the memories. I will play this game for the rest of my life
the fact there is no "bam!" done at the end, instead it just elegantly fades away... it does just hit different and echoes that this is the end of a decade long road.
What a legendary game, with legendary music and an amazing credits theme to end it off with...goodbye Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you may be finished now, but my brothers and I will still be playing you for years to come. 'Cause as they say, legends never die.
this game holds a very special place in my heart for reasons i am NOT getting into here tears were already being shed as the credits rolled and then i saw a thank you image start sliding into frame and uhh yeah THAT did it
This game went from a slightly lackluster 8 cups to a masterpiece of 24 cups. This game will be a legend for years to come. Goodbye Mario kart 8 and we will wait for the future of this franchise
Lackluster? Do you forget that SMK, MK64 and MKDD only had 4 Cups, totalling 16 Courses? If that happened today, people would constantly complain about such a low number. 8 Cups was the normal amount dating back to MKDS. Getting triple that amount was unexpected and unprecedented. Who knows if that will be done again in future installments.
@@Ekozoid Oh Ok, thought you meant the quanity of the courses. Fair point. Some of the courses were old, even I doubted they were gonna be creative on some of them. They did the best they could there.
This DLC is a love letter to Mario Kart fans as well as a proper send-off to both Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. With several country tracks playing, ninja hideaway and sky high sundae, and even the SNES credits theme, this really felt like a final act. THANK YOU NINTENDO! ❤
I just realized that MK8 on the WII U originally released when I was in 7th grade. Back then I hadn't had enough money to buy a Wii U, so I mostly watched videos of the game I loved it. At some point in time I eventually could afford the game and played it and I loved it. Fast forward in time The booster course pass released just when I started my carreer to become a programmer... Then there is today... Me playing the last wave of the DLC while having my own home, living a great live and having a full time job as a software developer. I love that this game managed to always be with me throughout my life!
10 whole year's and now it's finally over what a ride. From it's initial reveal trailer on June 11th 2013 through now November 9th 2023. It's been a blast and now it's time to drive off and head towards the next stop.
We really had the best DLC any game has ever had. We went shopping through Coconut Mall, traversed the high cliffs of Shroom Ridge, We sped through Waluigi Pinball, visited Sydney Sprint, We climbed up Maple Treeway, and went on a dangerous journey through Rainbow Road, We visited Yoshi's Island, and stopped by Singapore Speedway, We took a relaxing break in Squeaky Clean Sprint, and we sped through Koopa Cape's roaring rivers, We saw the view from the peaks of DK Mountain, and now we're here, on the most dangerous Rainbow Road of all time. Thanks, Mario Kart, you did it all.
That Ninja Hideaway section is AMAZING, god, what an incredible DLC, doubling the amount of content in game, balancing, and just adding new features, truly amazing.
I never thought in years i ever heard Vancouver Velocity and Singapore Speedway with jazz fusion, lol. But somehow, it works well. This credit is a celebration of the BCP as a whole and Mario Kart Tour lifetime. It is so beautiful and amazing. It has been 10 years of Mario Kart, and what a great journey it is. It's the best racing game of all time. Thank you for uploading all the music, and I can't wait to see you on the next adventure. Whatever the next game is.
So sad but happy to see it come to an end. I might not have played Tour much, but it is as much a Mario Kart like all the others. And this feels like the credits theme that it would have had. That Vancouver Velocity section though! The Mario Kart band better return for the next!
I honestly can't listen to this without tearing up or get shivers down my spine, it is honestly a amazing end to a game I have played during the Wii U era (when it was just called MarioKart 8) This game carried my elementary school years and now in my Sophomore year of High school and this just make me explode with happyness that the Nintendo gave MK8D all the tracks they want in there, and to that I say Thank you Nintendo
We may have reached the finish line of the BCP, but we shall never forget the starting line of the BCP, from when it was first announced, to people getting hyped over Coconut Mall, to those criticizing the Wave 1 graphics, to the datamines, to the overflow of predictions… thank you, Booster Course Pass. You’ve made an already amazing game even more amazing than ever before.
The people following Mario Kart’s progress since Tour’s release in 2019 can finally rest. This song ends an era and it’s time to wait for whatever’s next.

Tbh this was my Mario Kart 9 experience. I remember being so mad that we didn’t get MK9 and just MK8 but with more. Just bought the game a week ago and I’ve finished the booster course today and I loved it. The courses were unfamiliar to me since I know they were from some other Kart game. (Same with MK8 back then where I was unfamiliar with some levels) and this course felt like another game. I was happy wiggler returned and new characters being added (would’ve liked Nabbit.) MK8 specifically was nostalgic to me I had a hard time connecting with this game again but the booster course reignited my spark for this game. Overall 25 dollars well spent. The Booster Course felt like an entire new experience. They could have added only 4 stages but they gave us more.
I was BLOWN away when I heard this, Nintendo had NO RIGHT to do this, but they did it anyway. Guys, I think Nintendo went a perfect score for its BCP OST
So I began crying when I first got to Wii Rainbow Road, then teared up again as the MKTV highlight for the Spiny Cup showed Wii RR, and then when I heard the SNES Credits theme I was a mess. Then I cried again as the credits were almost over. Best 9 and a half years of Mario Kart.
Now how in the hell can they possibly top this for the next MK? Because it's gonna feel real awkward going back to the regular 32 track rodeo next time
I got CHILLS listening to this. It's been such a long ride waiting for all the waves to drop, along with MK8's extended lifetime lol. What a fitting farewell! 😍
*Essa música é simplesmente uma obra de arte, um verdadeiro presente pra quem é fã de Mario Kart e acompanhou a DLC até o fim* Mesmo com todos os problemas que a DLC tenha, essa foi uma incrível jornada.
This song feels like a send off to not only the Booster Course Pass DLC, but also to Mario Kart 8 as a whole. What an amazing decade-long journey it has been ❤️🚗
Man, this is a _really_ good medley. The solos, especially the Madrid Drive one, are so good. I love how it just goes HAM during the Sky-High Sundae part, too. Weird they did that one last, but I guess the idea is that it was the only course featured in the medley to have _debuted_ in the BCP, thus making it the _newest..._ ...even though it's not.

Well, everyone, this is it. This game has officially come to an end...
For making an ending theme of a great DLC, this is an amazing one we had in a while. This really sent a perfect goodbye message to all of us playing and appreciating the work. Fills with emotion and amazing work of rearrangements. I also love the transitions between segments of each song, especially most of them are from Tour (while I'm still unable to play that game, they really gave Tour recognition very nicely despite it being heavily criticized). To end this whole comment. Here's a "credits roll" of my own:
• I want to firstly say thank you, TZGaming, for providing these bangers since the very first wave. They're also done very quickly while uploading them in very high quality and good care. I'm glad I discovered your channel because of this.
• Also, special thanks to all other great music users who participated in uploading them: Gaming Player123, Dave's OSTs, ZakkroMD, RontoS, Yoshi VGM, Aarco Xtensions, & much more.
Thanks to all composers who made the best soundtracks possible, mainly done by Ryo Nagamatsu.
• Huge thank you to Nintendo for making the best racing game on a Nintendo system within the Switch version's life span of 6 years and adding the original version with a total of 9 YEARS.
• And a final thank you to everyone playing the game and all the viewers listening to the soundtrack.

Looking back over the past 9 years, Mario Kart 8 has had an impressive 12 bouts of DLC. Don’t believe me? Let’s count.

@@mii-its-a-nerdI don't think it will be called that. Probably will go back to a name thing instead of numbers. It avoids the "is the next game 9 or 10" controversy, and it won't confuse anyone who avoided Tour, which is claimed to be the 9th game.
1:53 I can not get enough of how good the Singapore/Vancouver segment is, they absolutely nailed it!
Part of me wishes their respective tracks sounded as jazzy as they do in this, but the remixes we ended up getting were so fire I can't complain TOO much
Yesir.
@@alexanderadams9058Same.
Freaking amazing, right??!!
@@alexanderadams9058yeah I was thinking that haha, I was like damn these feel more interesting and cool than the base tracks :0
2:01 Jesus that saxophone player cooked so hard he burnt down the music studio
3:19 We need a full version of this Madrid remix ASAP. This is an actual masterpiece, and I wish it sounded just like that while racing.
Yesir.
There should be cause it's just as amazing as the original remix
Agree
We need all for that matter
3:19 Just when you think Madrid Drive couldn't get any better, they hit you with the sickest Spanish guitar ever
Ole qué arte, ojalá tener una versión completa
Anime Meta Knight Jumpscare
The credits music is basically a Mario Kart Tour medley. Which is exactly what I wanted. Thank you Nintendo.
It is!
1:52 was not expecting a jazz rendition of Singapore but i love it so much
i read Singapore as the simpsons
If Mario Kart Tour had credits, this would be just that. I love all the motifs to MKT here!!!
true 🥹
even the theme in the background is based on tour, honestly amazing
That Super Mario Kart remix at the beginning almost made me cry.
The farewell of Charles Martinet and Deanna Mustard
0:00 - Kicking it off with the end of the first installment.
0:37 - A shift to the beginning of this DLC journey.
1:07 - Hyping things up a bit with an epic flute solo and electronic beat.
1:32 - One more awesome performance of one of the most loved city track themes of all time.
1:52 - An electronic song gets a brass section glowup with a stunning sax solo.
2:16 - Everything stops, builds up, and gets hype again, plus a trumpet solo that sounds incredible.
2:51 - No words can describe this performance of this beach/baseball/oil field track's theme.
3:18 - The band calms down a little but then they bring out an acoustic guitar and start popping off.
3:49 - A banger finish to the Tour segment of the credits theme.
4:12 - Finishing it all off the same way we finished the first game in the series.
What a fricking incredible credits theme.
4:38
I wish Mario could say at the end: "Mario Kart... EEEEEIIIIIIGGGGGGHHHHHTTTTT!!!!"
That ending gave me the CHILLS!
phenomenal arrangement to close one of the greatest video game soundtracks ever made.
The use of Super Mario Kart's credits caught me off guard. A very good reminder of just how far we've come, just like use of the title screen music in the regular Staff Roll.
It’s a shame that not every Tour course is included in this banger. I would’ve loved to hear Sydney Sprint, Yoshi’s Island and Squeaky Clean Sprint, just to name a few.
I agree but Piranha Plant Pipeline would be left out :(
@@VancouverVelocityFan imagine if they did include every tour track in this but pipeline was cut after they made the credits song so it was just there anyway
@@B0ssguy oh that would be indescribable
For real
@@B0ssguyLMAO, that sounds fucking hilarious and totally something that they would do, whether intentionally or not…
this might be the new best credits song in the series!!
I mean, it’s got some seriously tough competition from the 3D Mario games, but it’s 100% up there (and definitely the best from Mario Kart specifically)
@@ZombieManF the snes leitmotif was the selling point for me, mario kart 8 is known for having the best music in the entire mario series, im super glad the entire ost for the game was made with a live band
The original credits felt like the end of a racing tournament. This is the end of a journey. The credits background feels like coming home from a world tour, with a collection of the memories made along the way, not just of the DLC, but of the game as a whole. Thank you for nearly a decade of memories, Mario Kart 8. I am incredibly hopeful for the future of the series!
Also, fun fact, the original game didn't have a character group photo like the previous game, but now it does! Full circle, baby!
I began my Mario Kart 8 journey in 2014 upon release on the Wii U. This game has always brought me joy and im so grateful to be apart of this community and I’m looking forward to see what Nintendo does with the MK franchise.
Yesir.
I remember playing through all the original 32 courses for the first time while my best friend watched. Surprised at how quickly it went, he shouted "We want DLC!"
Boy did that wish come true, in spades!
I must say, this DLC has been a wild ride. Literally.
*Wave 1*
Some people overlooked the DLC during its first days, likely because it was porting over tracks from Tour. But if anything, I'd say the main selling point was _Wii Coconut Mall_ due to how immensely popular it is.
I was mainly excited to have new places to race in.
*Wave 2*
The hype started to build up. Not only do the more popular tracks make their way in, but _Sky-High Sundae_ is an _original_ track.
It's very obvious that _DS Waluigi Pinball_ was the main selling point of this wave. You could tell people were _bouncing off the walls like pinballs to bumpers._
*Wave 3*
Ending 2022 with style. It's now clear that this DLC is widely adored, especially with how good the tracks look compared to Tour. Also, items in non-Grand Prix races can now be toggled with Custom Items.
My favorite is clearly _3DS Rainbow Road_ which, fittingly, ends the Moon Cup and the 2022 section of the DLC.
*Wave 4*
New drivers started pouring in. There was only one in this pack (that being _Birdo_ and her colored variants), but the tracks kept coming, and they're all promising.
Although people tend to glare at _DS Mario Circuit_ for reasons, I would have to say my favorite track there is _Yoshi's Island_ due to it not just being original, but having proper representation of the Yoshi series. Now the Wario series just needs a (non-Arcade) track... Perhaps in the future ahead of us?
*Wave 5*
We got three new drivers this time around. _Kamek_ is widely known for having been cut from the ORIGINAL MK8, _Wiggler_ is widely known because...well, Wiggler on Wiggler, and _Petey Piranha_ is a favorite to most if not all.
_Wii Moonview Highway_ and _Squeaky Clean Sprint_ are what I'd consider to be my favorites for this wave. _GBA Sunset Wilds_ WAS going to be a favorite, but then it was discovered that it doesn't become night as the race processes. I was bummed out, and I knew people were angry about it.
*Wave 6*
The very end. Four new drivers came along: _Peachette_ - Toadette with a crown, _Pauline_ - mayor of New Donk City, _Diddy Kong_ - DK's little buddy... and _Funky Kong_ - known as THE most popular character in Mario Kart Wii. No, really. Plus, a whole army of new Mii Racing Suits and a way to listen to track music from the menu. Even if you don't own the DLC, you can still play the DLC track songs!
My personal favorite would be _Wii Rainbow Road_ - not only does it end the Spiny Cup, but it ends the 2023 section AND the DLC overall. Plus, all the little tidbits that weren't in Tour were added back. Yes, you still combust into flames as you fall towards the atmosphere of Earth.
I had a lot of fun times with all these tracks, and I know y'all can do the same.
Also, I have to admit, seeing there being a new credits sequence made me feel emotional...in a good way. It was like the end of a journey - _and it is._
Mad props to Nintendo for piecing together this masterpiece, and all y'all for riding along with them.
It's been a real pleasure driving across these 48 tracks. I look forward to the distant future of Mario Kart.
sidenote: kamek was waiting for a long ass time, getting cut from mk64's original roster and didnt get a chance in mario kart since 1996
Loved this comment! Really was a journey
how tf do you type in italics for a youtube comment
@@spncrprkr you put two underscores surrounding a message
__like__ _this_
@@spncrprkr_I don't know._
Damn, kinda want a full version of that new Ninja Hideaway remix! It goes so hard!
The first time I heard this after completing the final cup of the wave, I was like, "why does the opening sound so familiar?" Then it hit me.
When it did, god did I nearly cry. This game truly is amazing and it's crazy it has lasted this long
Dropping Funky Kong and Wii Rainbow Road in the same wave was like the biggest present i could get as a wii fan. funnily it was my birthday not long ago. so happy abt that
This is one of the best pieces of music in Nintendo history. It's hard to say whether this is better than the original MK8 credits theme, they both have their pros and cons. But I think this one does a better job giving a Tour (pun intended) of the new songs in the game.
And as a saxophonist, of course I love the Singapore Speedway solo. The Vancouver Velocity trumpet solo is also really great. It is cool how they took 2 of the most electronic sounding songs and put live solos over them.
Also, everybody is saying goodbye to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and while that might be true for the devs, I don't think it is time for us to say goodbye yet. After 6 YEARS, we finally get to see and play everything this game has to offer.
here you can see the love that nintendo put into giving a nice gift to their fans by giving them a short but relaxing version of the DLC tracks
I love you and in case we don't see each other again, good morning, good afternoon and good evening.
(Edit): We will soon come back here for the nostalgia and remember the good times we had playing the DLC.
4:32 I literally cried at this part I DON'T WANT THEM TO GO 😭😭😭😭
As a Sonic fan, listening to this staff roll kind of took me back. This was a great way to end off this game.
I can’t believe the Mario Kart 8 era had came to an end after 9 years from 2014 to 2023. We had came a pretty long way.
We need full versions of all these snippets immediately
This version of Vancouver honestly sounds better than the remake we got
I love this so much because it gives every instrument ample time in the spotlight. The flute and bass on Ninja Hidaway, the screaming sax on Singapore, the trumpet just having fun and improvising on Vancouver, and the freaking Spanish guitar on Madrid. Just a masterpiece on every way shape and form.
I still fondly remember the first time i had the chance to play MK8's E3 demo at Best Buy. I was blown away and counted the days to release. A decade later and MK8 turned out even better than my wildest dreams. These staff credits brought a tear to my eye knowing this is truly the end of an era.
Wow, this whole song was just an experience to listen to. I absolutely loved every second of it. The beginning with the SNES’s Super Mario Kart credits theme was so perfect. It felt like a true ending and farewell to this amazing game. I am awestruck in wonder. I absolutely loved this. I got chills tho right this whole thing. The ending was so perfect. It got me choked up and in tears a bit. Nintendo thank you so much. You make the video game music.
I think the first credits hit harder
I will always love big band, I love how they referenced a lot of Tour songs in the credits since that is why the BCP exists. I really hope future Mario kart games stay live band, or even better, have this group of talented people stay. But overall, thank you Mario Kart 8 for all the memories. I will play this game for the rest of my life
2:51 THE LOS ANGELES LAPS REMIX WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
1:31 Berlin Byways gets another remix
*GOOD*
The chord progression at 0:23 cant put the emotions into words its that good
the fact there is no "bam!" done at the end, instead it just elegantly fades away... it does just hit different and echoes that this is the end of a decade long road.
Meanwhile Toad's Factory sitting in the corner crying:
As a huge Toad's Factory fan, I'd say that the later Wii tracks make me want its return even more. I just hope it's as good as Moonview Highway.
4:38 "Hey you're very good. See you next time"
Mario kart 64
This song really makes me feel like it’s the true conclusion to this era of Mario Kart.
really like the transition from berlin byways to singapore speedway 1:49 - 1:57
An unexpected heartfelt goodbye to the 2 year journey for this DLC, it’s been a wild ride
What a legendary game, with legendary music and an amazing credits theme to end it off with...goodbye Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you may be finished now, but my brothers and I will still be playing you for years to come. 'Cause as they say, legends never die.
this game holds a very special place in my heart for reasons i am NOT getting into here
tears were already being shed as the credits rolled
and then i saw a thank you image start sliding into frame and uhh yeah THAT did it
This game went from a slightly lackluster 8 cups to a masterpiece of 24 cups. This game will be a legend for years to come. Goodbye Mario kart 8 and we will wait for the future of this franchise
Lackluster? Do you forget that SMK, MK64 and MKDD only had 4 Cups, totalling 16 Courses? If that happened today, people would constantly complain about such a low number. 8 Cups was the normal amount dating back to MKDS. Getting triple that amount was unexpected and unprecedented. Who knows if that will be done again in future installments.
@@b1galbos89 I meant the tracks themselves were lackluster. The base 8 cups were fine but half the retros felt weak
@@Ekozoid Oh Ok, thought you meant the quanity of the courses. Fair point. Some of the courses were old, even I doubted they were gonna be creative on some of them. They did the best they could there.
@@Ekozoid
TBH the BCP is better than the base-game, which sounds like it might be a hot take.
This DLC is a love letter to Mario Kart fans as well as a proper send-off to both Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. With several country tracks playing, ninja hideaway and sky high sundae, and even the SNES credits theme, this really felt like a final act.
THANK YOU NINTENDO! ❤
I just realized that MK8 on the WII U originally released when I was in 7th grade.
Back then I hadn't had enough money to buy a Wii U, so I mostly watched videos of the game I loved it.
At some point in time I eventually could afford the game and played it and I loved it.
Fast forward in time The booster course pass released just when I started my carreer to become a programmer...
Then there is today... Me playing the last wave of the DLC while having my own home, living a great live and having a full time job as a software developer.
I love that this game managed to always be with me throughout my life!
10 whole year's and now it's finally over what a ride. From it's initial reveal trailer on June 11th 2013 through now November 9th 2023. It's been a blast and now it's time to drive off and head towards the next stop.
We really had the best DLC any game has ever had.
We went shopping through Coconut Mall, traversed the high cliffs of Shroom Ridge,
We sped through Waluigi Pinball, visited Sydney Sprint,
We climbed up Maple Treeway, and went on a dangerous journey through Rainbow Road,
We visited Yoshi's Island, and stopped by Singapore Speedway,
We took a relaxing break in Squeaky Clean Sprint, and we sped through Koopa Cape's roaring rivers,
We saw the view from the peaks of DK Mountain, and now we're here, on the most dangerous Rainbow Road of all time.
Thanks, Mario Kart, you did it all.
That Ninja Hideaway section is AMAZING, god, what an incredible DLC, doubling the amount of content in game, balancing, and just adding new features, truly amazing.
2:16 vancouver velocity fan is freaking out rn
I got my 3 favorites from tour in this: Singapore, Ninja Hideaway, and Sky High Sundae
Absolutely wonderful game
That Ninja Hideaway portion is just pure ear candy.
I never thought in years i ever heard Vancouver Velocity and Singapore Speedway with jazz fusion, lol. But somehow, it works well. This credit is a celebration of the BCP as a whole and Mario Kart Tour lifetime. It is so beautiful and amazing. It has been 10 years of Mario Kart, and what a great journey it is. It's the best racing game of all time. Thank you for uploading all the music, and I can't wait to see you on the next adventure. Whatever the next game is.
So sad but happy to see it come to an end. I might not have played Tour much, but it is as much a Mario Kart like all the others. And this feels like the credits theme that it would have had. That Vancouver Velocity section though!
The Mario Kart band better return for the next!
Thank you, you get it.
I honestly can't listen to this without tearing up or get shivers down my spine, it is honestly a amazing end to a game I have played during the Wii U era (when it was just called MarioKart 8)
This game carried my elementary school years and now in my Sophomore year of High school and this just make me explode with happyness that the Nintendo gave MK8D all the tracks they want in there, and to that I say Thank you Nintendo
This goes to show that Tour is part of the Mariokart family. And should be acknowledged as Mariokart 9.
Absolutely agree
Not only this works as the end of the dlc but tour as well, it was a fun ride to wait each wave/tour, now we just have to keep looking forward
I love the medley of the songs so much, and that ending was beautiful
Shout out to the bass player that slapped their stuff for 5 minutes straight
Bro was going hard for the LA bassline
bro was in the slap zone
I hope Sammy includes this one in his Wave 6 soundtrack reaction.
I desperately want him to hear the Madrid segment.
I notified him about it a few hours ago
We may have reached the finish line of the BCP, but we shall never forget the starting line of the BCP, from when it was first announced, to people getting hyped over Coconut Mall, to those criticizing the Wave 1 graphics, to the datamines, to the overflow of predictions… thank you, Booster Course Pass. You’ve made an already amazing game even more amazing than ever before.
1:13 uhhh WHY DIDNT NINJA HIDEAWAY SOUND LIKE THIS IN THE ACTUAL GAME OMG ITS BEAUTIFUL
To stay accurate to Tour.
The SNES credits theme 🥹
The people following Mario Kart’s progress since Tour’s release in 2019 can finally rest. This song ends an era and it’s time to wait for whatever’s next.

0:00 SNES Mario Kart credits
Tbh this was my Mario Kart 9 experience. I remember being so mad that we didn’t get MK9 and just MK8 but with more.
Just bought the game a week ago and I’ve finished the booster course today and I loved it. The courses were unfamiliar to me since I know they were from some other Kart game. (Same with MK8 back then where I was unfamiliar with some levels) and this course felt like another game. I was happy wiggler returned and new characters being added (would’ve liked Nabbit.) MK8 specifically was nostalgic to me I had a hard time connecting with this game again but the booster course reignited my spark for this game.
Overall 25 dollars well spent. The Booster Course felt like an entire new experience. They could have added only 4 stages but they gave us more.
god, that singapore speedway remix is heavenly
I was BLOWN away when I heard this, Nintendo had NO RIGHT to do this, but they did it anyway.
Guys, I think Nintendo went a perfect score for its BCP OST
The Mario Kart 8 OST is unrivaled.
THIS IS FOR THE TOUR FANS IDC WE EARNED THIS MAN,,, ITS OUR TRACKS MUSIC,, IN THE CREDITS,, (also we didn’t get credits in tour LET ME HAVE THIS)
Yes
What a strong ending to a game man
After 9 years, Mario Kart 8 has come to an end
There hasn't been a greater ending to a game yet. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is gonna get nostalgic in a couple years
I need a full version of that Berlin Byways remix, it would go so hard,
So I began crying when I first got to Wii Rainbow Road, then teared up again as the MKTV highlight for the Spiny Cup showed Wii RR, and then when I heard the SNES Credits theme I was a mess. Then I cried again as the credits were almost over.
Best 9 and a half years of Mario Kart.
This is leaps and bounds ahead of base 8's credits lol
What an amazing way to end an overall outstanding dlc. I hope you all had a good drive.
See you next game.
HOLY SHIT THE NINJA HIDEAWAY SEGMENT IS FIRE!
Finally...
Mario Kart 8 is over...
Grand Theft Auto 5 is over...
...2014 is finally done.
Now how in the hell can they possibly top this for the next MK? Because it's gonna feel real awkward going back to the regular 32 track rodeo next time
NGL, wasn't expecting another credit song.
Also, holy shit, I wasn't expecting so many composers for BCP.
I got CHILLS listening to this. It's been such a long ride waiting for all the waves to drop, along with MK8's extended lifetime lol. What a fitting farewell! 😍
the ninja hideaway part was so good DAMN
*Essa música é simplesmente uma obra de arte, um verdadeiro presente pra quem é fã de Mario Kart e acompanhou a DLC até o fim*

This song feels like a send off to not only the Booster Course Pass DLC, but also to Mario Kart 8 as a whole. What an amazing decade-long journey it has been ❤️🚗
Man, this is a _really_ good medley. The solos, especially the Madrid Drive one, are so good.
I love how it just goes HAM during the Sky-High Sundae part, too. Weird they did that one last, but I guess the idea is that it was the only course featured in the medley to have _debuted_ in the BCP, thus making it the _newest..._ ...even though it's not.
It's been such a journey!
I really love the credits. It gives off a feeling of a heartfelt goodbye. This is the end of Mario Kart 8. I think I am going to cry...😭
It wasn't just me fighting back tears when I first saw this, ig? This signifies the end of a massive era for many, here's to MK9
Bless this game. The source of such gorgeous arrangements of previous tracks has brought me endless amounts of joy. Here's to Mario Kart 9!
Tour is 9
