"Cheep Cheep Falls"[1][2] is a musical theme in Mario Kart World, where it plays when racing on the course of the same name. The main melody alternates between a japanese woodwind instrument and an electric guitar in the A and C sections. A koto is also present in the intro and in the B section, where it plays alongside strings. The theme is backed by a shamisen.
In Knockout Tour, approaching the next checkpoint causes the music to transition into a coda. This track has only one coda, which uses the string melody that plays about 30 seconds in, however, there are different transitions between the main track and the coda, with distinct drum fills, that play depending on which part of the theme is playing when the player approaches the next checkpoint.
