Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! marks the first appearance of "Baby Park".

An arrangement of "Baby Park" plays in Tilt-a-Kart. This arrangement adds crash cymbals and swaps the backing piano chords for an organ, but it is otherwise near identical to the original theme. It also incorporates the first six notes of "Ground BGM" from Super Mario Bros. at the beginning.

Mario Kart 8[edit]

“On this title, the pitch of the music goes up after every lap. It'll really make your head spin! The horn and guitar parts give this arrangement tons of energy.”
—Liner notes in the Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack

In Mario Kart 8 and the Nintendo Switch port, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as part of the Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 DLC, an arrangement of "Baby Park" plays in GCN Baby Park. It is likewise titled "GCN Baby Park" in the Nintendo Music app and the official Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack album. During gameplay, the theme's key raises by a semitone with each successive lap; Highlight Reels and the Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack use the same structure as the original version. A looping drum set beat is added to the instrumentation whenever the player is driving at top speed while in first place.
