Hey everybody! Thought I'd drop by to let you know that I've recently created a Patreon for my CZcams channel. You'll notice that I recently started getting back into making new covers (check out my FF7 medleys!). If you like my stuff and would like to support me and get more frequent releases in the future, go have a look at www.patreon.com/escensei/ Thanks to all of you for the comments and the love for my channel, I really appreciate it!

I didn't realize how varied all the iterations of rainbow road were, this is a really cool cover idea and you nailed it. Super professional sounding and awesome musicianship all around.
I’m just gonna say that I find it hilarious that just over 9 years after this has been uploaded, it still has every rainbow road up to date😂 still waiting on Mariokart 9 rainbow road
Listening to this song, after Iwata's passing... can't help but thinking about the rainbow that appeared over Nintendo Headquarters, one day later. Feeling like Iwata-san was racing into a Rainbow Road to Heavens...
I almost cried when I got to MKDS and MKWii...while I'm old enough to where 64 shoulda been my first Mario Kart, I didn't get into the series until just a few years ago...MKWii was the first one I ever played and beat to its entirety and MKDS I got after and also fully beat. It's also a great car/plane-ride companion!
Rainbow Road has been the highlight of each Mario Kart game for me up to date. Seeing all these iterations of the theme combined into one rock medley is absolutely marvelous. You're doing god's work, man.
I have never gotten chills from listening to music before. Ever. But this is just so fucking awesome, that it happened. GIVE THIS MAN ALL THE INTERNETS. ALL OF THEM. THIS CHANNEL NEEDS MORE ATTENTION.

Here's your thumb's up good man. I feel so bad for those who disliked it. Their lives should be so sad for not being able to be up here in the rainbow to see the stars like the rest of us.
theepicvideosrcomin Dude, I beat 150cc AND Mirror Rainbow Road in Mario Kart Wii AND got Golds on both!! And people say that one's the hardest of the bunch!
Nolan Yee The most enthrilling thing to do on that game with goldens! Epicly drift along that one part before the cannon spamming goldens with funky. Its possible, and making it is so epic.
Aids en Condom Lets Plays I’m crying right now because I’m sick and also because of the MKDS and Wii rainbow road music especially MK7 rainbow road because I love the MK7 rainbow road song
Lighters out for DS Rainbow Road 4:09 🔥 This is still an amazing medley, even 7 years later. Edit: Approaching a full decade now, wtf?! Edit 2: 10 years on, a hundred years more, it will always be as spectacular a medley as it gets. Rock on, Escensei! 🤘
I listen to this song probably weekly and I just wanted to comment here to let you know that I greatly appreciate the effort time and dedication you've put into your music. These games hold a special place in my heart and your music has really helped me through some hard times and even just keeping focused while working. You are a true inspiration.
As somebody who grew up with Super Circuit I unfortunately agree that its Rainbow Road theme is the least good. It sounds more like... Mario Circuit, or something. The second half still gives RR vibes but it’s much less magical than the other RR themes. Here’s my ranking 1. Mario Kart 8 2. Mario Kart Wii 3. Super Mario Kart 4. Mario Kart 7 5. Mario Kart Double Dash 6. Mario Kart DS 7. Mario Kart 64 8. Mario Kart Super Circuit
I love this mix, I listen to it every time I go snowboarding. There is no more awesome feeling than shredding down a mountain with this jamming in my ears
bro, I wasn't expecting that last lick where you brought back the 64 Rainbow Road melody. It had me in tears. It was perfect. It immediately took me back to when I was 6, playing Mario Kart 64 with my family. That's time I can never get back, but music is the bridge to places in the past.
It’s so odd that after having finally owned and played every single game, DS and Wii being my first two and most nostalgic, I don’t remember the Rainbow Road songs from those as much. They are still excellent tracks, but I feel like they were never as distinct. They sound even more amazing here, and this is great work!
Si la senda arco íris de Mario Kart: Super Circuit era de por si sola excelente, con guitarra eléctrica es sublime, y más porque no es una versión tranquila, refleja lo extrema que es la pista en cuanto a dificultad
This mix is INSANE! It's honestly one of the best guitar medleys on CZcams! I don't know what you do man, but this mix sounds so damn impressive. Every instrument can be heard clearly, and it all sounds so damn full and warm. You also opened with my favourite Mario Kart Song of all time. Love the funky part at 0:37! I'd like to say thanks again for messaging me with all that helpful info. I got a ton of useful plugins that I'm taking my time to learn how to use properly. I have another cover in the works, so keep your eyes peeled. You truly are a master at your art. I really love all your guitar tones in this one. If each cover after this is going to sound as good as this medley did, than I'm a life long fan! Escensei kills it yet again!
Mario kart 10: Double Digits 2031, 30th Anniversary of MKDD. Brings back double karts and characters. Brings back every retro track ever. Reintroduces mission mode. *brings back cool names*
You know I come back here year after year.. multiple times during that year.. sometimes hundreds.. this Medley has always sounded so pleasing to hear and I absolutely love it whole heartedly and I just keep coming back.. it still saddens me deeply that he hasn't pursued CZcams as aggressively as I thought he was going to.. but I tell you what after all the years I am still subscribed and that will never change.. this channel and video will forever remain legendary.. Hopefully he will eventually start posting consistently.. he could've turned into someone like Erock before Erock.. I know life can get in the way but man I have been a huge fan for a while.. I just want to see more.. hope life has been good.. I will always come back to listen to this masterpiece into my 30's and 60's assuming this channel doesn't disappear.. that would sadden me a lot.. I will always remember this Medley because I listened to it during my driver's training and no I am not joking lol
Mario Kart 9 should have a cup dedicated to all 8 Rainbow Roads with a soundtrack like this. P.S. It could be a cup in Mario Kart because in double dash you had to do all 32 tracks in one sitting for a complete game and that was one cup.

I didn't realize how varied all the iterations of rainbow road were, this is a really cool cover idea and you nailed it. Super professional sounding and awesome musicianship all around.
Holy hell, the real richaad!
Personal opinion: this is underated.
DSのゆったりアレンジからのWiiの盛り上がりが最高すぎる
Agree, it's a smooth and well-arranged transition from the start and the end
I’m just gonna say that I find it hilarious that just over 9 years after this has been uploaded, it still has every rainbow road up to date😂 still waiting on Mariokart 9 rainbow road
Listening to this song, after Iwata's passing... can't help but thinking about the rainbow that appeared over Nintendo Headquarters, one day later.
Feeling like Iwata-san was racing into a Rainbow Road to Heavens...
He would be proud of this masterpiece.
you are making me cry
Iwata's passing was really sad
Adding -san at the end feels very disrespectful to me.
misinterpretation
best cover ever wooooow
The transition from Wii to 8 was slick.
that transition between wii & wii u was perfect :D
U better believe it
It helps that they're both the same BPM lol
Anybody else cry at the ds song? Excellent music btw
ye all the memories :(
Kamon Whiteside I didn't cry but it was so beautiful especially MK7
Kamon Whiteside DS was best n still is best!
When you see someone who reads the comments before listening
My girlfriend randomly asked me to play the music from Rainbow Road, so I looked up a guitar cover and found this. I am not disappointed.
I almost cried when I got to MKDS and MKWii...while I'm old enough to where 64 shoulda been my first Mario Kart, I didn't get into the series until just a few years ago...MKWii was the first one I ever played and beat to its entirety and MKDS I got after and also fully beat. It's also a great car/plane-ride companion!
Shimesa gcn is my first
@@shartwastaken Was refering to DS LOL. I beat DS on 150 and unlocked Waluigi on a plane trip.
If it helps anything, the N64 and DS games flow somewhat similar kind of like the SNES and GBA games but to a lesser extent. 😁

They can't beat the 150cc Rainbow Road

Well, they're both the same thing just reversed.

Michael Segal I know what you're talking about, but it's GCN (Game Cube Nintendo)
The Best Medley Ever It Truly Captures Everything I Listen To This All The Time On Stream Keep It Up!
マジでカッコよすぎる……😭😭
Man, all of the Rainbow Road songs are so catchy but with somewhat of a feel of heroism that I always forget about. They're all incredible songs.
Same feeling
The SNES one turned out great, it's a sort of strange tune originally but you covered it really well
Strange tunes are the best tunes 😉
Cool & Nostalgic....... To choose MK7 Rainbow road as Finale is best choice😉
7:21 always the best one.
nintendo needs to have a remake of GCN Rainbow Road. That had the best music and some of the best course design I've ever played.

Thank you.
yup ^^
That overdrive is pure magic.
best game ever i mis it :(
Epic Manky DS was the best! Memories!!
:")
Absolutely amazing. I love how you saved Mario kart 7’s theme for the end because it’s the best
Are u mad
Wii is obviously the best theme
@@samuelisaac4374 no
@James Schafer sure mate
Here's how I'd rank them:
1. They
2. Are
3. All
4. Equally
5. Great
6. And
7. Nostalgic
8. Mario Kart 8
GCN and 7 are Rip offs of N64 so in my opinion they are disqualified.
I’m sorry officer but rainbow road wii was playing I couldn’t stop myself from speeding
やっぱ最後は3DSだよね！
I'll miss you again uncle.
Got to love how this starts with the Double Dash & ends with 7, I feel that the former is like an introduction and the latter is a finish :3
The ordering is absolutely amazing! Everything flows perfectly!
+volksdude1970 Couldn't agree more :D
Why aren't you making any more videos? This is the best Mario Kart medley I've ever heard, and I want to hear more from you.
Agreed.
Second that.
robaart yep
Dude you are so underrated, you deserve a lot more, YOU ARE AWESOME!!
7 years later and the video is still criminally underrated
The MKWii part litteraly made me cry, that game was my childhood

the cover of 8 is almost like the original ver sooo awesome thx
No. It sounds better than the original
it's a mii anastasis oh that's also true 😂

this is beautiful. double dash always has a special place in my heart
4:08 - 5:01 I almost cried
bro, I wasn't expecting that last lick where you brought back the 64 Rainbow Road melody. It had me in tears. It was perfect. It immediately took me back to when I was 6, playing Mario Kart 64 with my family. That's time I can never get back, but music is the bridge to places in the past.
If you hear at the GCB version, it’s the same lick but another tone
Actually in mk7 the rainbow road theme actually has that 64 lick in it;)
I knew you were going to put the 3DS Rainbow Road last.
As they say, save the best for last.
I find myself coming back to this video every so often, and I enjoy it every time. What a stunning medley, great sound. I like your style!
ngl there were moments in this medley that brought a tear to my eye. thank you for the wonderful arrangement and skilled musicianship!! :')
It’s so odd that after having finally owned and played every single game, DS and Wii being my first two and most nostalgic, I don’t remember the Rainbow Road songs from those as much. They are still excellent tracks, but I feel like they were never as distinct. They sound even more amazing here, and this is great work!
Yes, they aren't that distinct, but MKDS holds a special place in my heart and memory.
Overall, it's a well-arranged medley, 100/10.
DS one is so sweet
0:50 3:33 8:21. That's what stuck out to me. It always stood the test of time.
感動しました！
I kinda wish that Super Circuit's theme got a little more love. It's my favourite.
ikr
Exactly
i love super circuit. i also think the credits theme is the second best after 64's.
also, LOVE your TTGL flag!
The GBA Rainbow Road is a brilliant one...
Si la senda arco íris de Mario Kart: Super Circuit era de por si sola excelente, con guitarra eléctrica es sublime, y más porque no es una versión tranquila, refleja lo extrema que es la pista en cuanto a dificultad
Imagine having all those rainbow roads combined. Talk about friend ships gone forever or a whole year
Why Do All The Rainbow Road Tracks Sound Like They Were Made For This?
This mix is INSANE! It's honestly one of the best guitar medleys on CZcams! I don't know what you do man, but this mix sounds so damn impressive.
