The results are in - WarmReboot's jazz rearrangement of Mario Kart 64
I just recently came across France based jazz trio WarmReboot upon hearing their rendition of music from GBA classic Golden Sun. This time I want to talk about their latest track (at time of this writing), the laid back remix of that jazzy results screen from the classic Mario Kart 64 soundtrack. Even though we have all heard the results music many times, it can feel like an overlooked track, since most folks will quickly skip past the results and onto the next race. When discussing Mario Kart music, it tends to be mostly focused on track themes, but the results music bangs even in the original Super Mario Kart, so it's not surprising this is a jam as well.
At five minutes, you've got all the results you want now. The track really lends itself to the triple combo laid back groove of WarmReboot. I didn't realize how hard the piano goes on this theme, and WarmReboot lays it down just as well. I'm well versed in the soundtrack to Mario Kart 64, and hearing this live rendition of what I now realize is an underrated jam has made my day. At the moment it appears that WarmReboot drops a new track every month, or check some of their older videos, like that cover of F-Zero I have to write about at some point.
