"Selection Screen"[2] is a musical theme composed by Atsuko Asahi for Mario Kart 8, where it plays in the Single Player and Multiplayer menus. Similarly to "Selection Screen" from Mario Kart Wii, this theme is dynamic; the instrumentation is built upon with each phase as the player progresses through each menu:

  • The first phase plays in the mode and engine class selection menus
  • The second phase plays in the character and vehicle selection menus
  • The third phase plays in the cup and course selection menus.

History[edit]

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Mario Kart 8 marks the first appearance of "Selection Screen", and it returns in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the same purposes. In the official Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack album and the Nintendo Music app, all three phases are played in sequence on the same track.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, an arrangement of "Selection Screen" is incorporated into "Karts!", which plays when the heroes are introduced to karts in the Jungle Kingdom.
