Mario Kart 8: Original Sound Version [FLAC & MP3] (!!!!!’s Nexus)

Only 32 kHz? That’s too bad… I guess that’s the norm for the Wii U.

Thanks for putting this together so quickly! 🙂

Thanks for your amazing work! Much appreciated 🙂

Top-notch as always !!!!!, but this album has yet to be fully completed since the upcoming DLC’s happen to have more retro courses and some new ones (16 in total), so the jazziness is not over yet.
Regardless, you did a marvelous job inserting the Frontrunning variations to the race themes, it really highlights how good this OST is.

But why does Nintendo keep putting their music at 32khz?? It just wastes precious sound quality for so many good tunes!

(P.S. Did you check page 60 of your main music thread? I already corrected my cover art you know and sorry if I’m being bothersome)

It wont be the norm for all games (nintendoland is 48khz) but definitely Nintendo’s main games mostly.

It’s no issue 3DMan, when the DLC arrives and has new music. I can still update this to 2.0. It is technically a fully completed rip of the game solo.

Will you be doing Nintendo Land? I’m still doing my own conversion of Mario Kart 8 so that each variation has their own individual file but I really don’t want to splice all of the Octopus Dance files together if I don’t have to.

There’s a way to rip/get the fast versions, all the alternate versions (like the antigravitational part from Electrodrome and the thundercloud part of Cloudtop Cruise) and the course music with the added beat from when you are first in race? I’ve tried to find those in HQ, to no avail (and I haven’t seen the beat versions anywhere). 🙁

Two thumbs up!

Thank you

Thank you ! 😀

Thanks a lot!

I found a slight problem, the Dolphin Shoals track lacks most of the saxophone solo part because the song loops earlier than it should.

That’s how it is in-game. There is a version with the whole Sax solo that’s used in Mario Kart TV and is a separate file in the rip. (not !!!!!’s but the source gamerip)

Having a lot of trouble downloading this (it downloads to a certain point, then always hits a Network Error before it finishes), could you upload it to another site like Mega or Mediafire?

Yep encountering the same issue, getting these weird network errors every time I try to download.

Think the problem lies with the site as it sometimes appears saying that the site is down for maintenance, or something along those lines.

That’s an issue I’ve had with BillionUploads in the past also. Have you tried using jDownloader? Sometimes that works for me when dealing with uncooperative websites.

I’ve never tried it with BillionUploads, but it’s worth a shot.

Doesn’t seem to work with BillionUploads

Great job, !!!!! and thanks for providing this. I’m still betting on Nintendo providing an official soundtrack sometime next year once the new DLC is fully released… but I guess we will see what happens.

Edit: !!!!!, do you think you can also do a Mega download link? For some reason, BillionUploads is still causing me issues like it did for DKCR:TF and just stopping the download with a failure. 🙁

Um… what happened to the rest of Mount Wario?

And you mixed Cloudtop Cruise together….

Obviously this takes effort, and I appreciate what you do. I’m just pointing them out, should you wish to fix the "errors".

Oh and while this isn’t an error, it’s just an opinion: Personally, I would have done all the ‘new courses’ first, then retro courses, i.e. Mushroom, Flower, Star, Special, Shell, Banana, Leaf, Lightning, i.e. horizontally.
rather than how you did it, where you somehow did Mushroom, Shell, Flower, Banana, Star, Leaf, Lightning, Special, which is strange because for the first 6 you do new, retro, new, retro, new, retro, but then the last 2 are retro, new.

Put this on a MEGA mirror link too. BillionUploads does not work for people who chrome.

dont mean to be an asshole with this, but what about the star theme? thats the one thing i was looking forward to seeing included!

Dolphin Shoals is weird to mix, in the game the fade to the saxophone part is used with a boost and a splash to get out of the water. But the music itself just modulates +1 semitone going to the sax part. The audio developers said in an interview than it is used to make the track pop more… So it sounds really bad when I try to mix it myself. I really have to make a track just for the sax variation… XD

Good job for putting this up, !!!!!!
Will you be able to put up a Hyrule Warriors complete rip as well?

Well, Hyrule Warriors is 48khz, so it all varies between games.

1st party Nintendo developed games always seem to use 32khz as the sample rate. Hyrule Warriors was made by another team, which would explain why its in 48khz.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Thank you

It’s included in the updated rip.

Yea the song is played in a different key. I don’t know why they would do that since transitions sound bad unless you create something in between one track to the next.

I’m not sure if I’ll do a Hyrule Warriors rip yet.

Yup I predict all main Nintendo games will be blessed with 32khz. Smash Bros might be the exception because of Namco co-developing it and Smash Bros 3DS used a Namco audio format.

UPDATE:
Mario Kart 8 OSV is now at 1.1
-Dolphin Shoals is the full version and is edited to have the 1st lap drums variation on second loop
-Mount Wario has all of its transitions
-Added Star Power & Final Lap Fanfare
-Added an Extras link in the nexus thread that contains the numerous song variations seperated
-MEGA Mirror for the OSV (not including the extras)

I’m not sure if I’ll do a Hyrule Warriors rip yet.

Well, will you do a Wind Waker HD rip? I ask because I was considering doing one myself, but I won’t if you plan to do one as well (and probably do a better job than me).

Hey !!!!!, in your Cloudtop Cruise track, the standard orchestral version of the music is still audible during the rock / electric guitar version. I’m pretty sure that you never hear them both layered on top of each other like that in the game. When you’re driving through the storm clouds, I think you only hear the rock version of the music.

i also wanted to ask about a few things. the different variation tracks are only one loop and that kind of puts me off and will you be uploading the dlc tracks with their variations as well?

The extras are cut to a single loop for file size purposes. Nope on the DLC at least not until it is rippable.

UPDATE: (now 1.2)
-Fixed Cloudtop Cruise & Variations in extras
-Raised drums volume on Rainbow Road

Whoo-hoo! Thanks, man.

crediar uploaded the DLC tracks. Could you update your soundtrack?

Well, the dlc tracks are up on brawlcustommusic.com with extras. can u update the soundtrack?

Index of /Wii U (http://109.163.233.168/Wii%20U/)

Here’s the link to the 1st DLC Pack’s Streams.

Oh boy, if its out this early, then Smash Bros 4’s streams will arrive shortly in a few days. I think I’ll make something out of it once it arrives (And maybe Sonic Lost World as well if that pops up).

Guys, calm down. Damn.

It’s obvious he’s going to do it, with relative ease too since there aren’t many tracks on it.

Just- be a little patient!

Wow, this is awesome, superb work! Thank you very much! 😀

UPDATE: (Now at 2.0)
-Added "The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8" DLC Tracks (in extras too)
-Re-ordered tracks

Didn’t expected dumped DLC audio that quick, not even a week. 3.0 will have the "Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8" songs when that releases and gets dumped in May next year.

Is anyone else having problems with MEGA?

Where is the DLC only tracks? Can’t find it. I already have the main release, no point (and internet) in redownloading.

!!!!!, the Mute City track in the DLC has its own unique Race Start Fanfare (taken from the F-Zero games) that I don’t see in version 2.0 of your soundtrack. I appreciate the speed you got these DLC tracks out though.

i think its because its taken directly from the game and it isnt remixed. but im not sure because i haven’t played any f zero games.

Thanks a bunch!

Why is there a scratching/distortion sound when playing the album in Itunes?

I’ve experienced the same problem that you have. The entire track are full of scratches and distortions on iTunes except they’re flawless using Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic.

Convert it to 44.1 kHz.

Already tried that, thanks though

Convert it to wav first, then convert it to 44.1. Thats what fixed it for me. Just make sure you have something that’ll make transferring tags over easy

Thank you very much for your update 🙂

Will we be gettin the new DLC songs soon? i wanna listen to the Excitebike course song all day!

This didn’t work either I’m afraid

How is it people can’t quote messages properly? 😛

Also, what happens if you convert them to AAC in iTunes directly? I didn’t do that, but I did however, take the MP3s and convert them in foobar2000 to IIRC an AAC format (M4A, or MP4 (they’re the same thing)).

To my case…
I converted .flac to .wav by "xrecode II", then .wav to Apple Lossless(Of course, iTunes). No problem occured.
And also do Apple Lossless to .mp3, Result is same.

Actually, I don’t know why they happened.

Breaking News!
Crediar has already ripped the music streams of the 2nd DLC Pack! You know what to do !!!!! (See the bottom of the page of the link)

Thanks 3DMan for this information !

Did anyone ever mp3 encode that dlc stuff?

Hi.

So will we see an updated version with the 2nd DLC pack music in it?
I really hope so, as I (and I’m sure others) really like the way you mix and arrange the tracks on your soundtracks.

The official album also won’t be released for some time. I think I may actually prefer your arrangements to the official ones, even.

Anyways, hope to see something soon! Thanks.
