"Selection Screens",[1] also known as "Setup and Kart Select"[2] or simply "Select"[3], is a musical theme composed by Kenta Nagata for Mario Kart 64, where it plays on the game's mode, character, and course selection screens, as well as on the option and data management screens. This theme consists of a repeating bassline that is two bars long, the occasional organ chord, and some brief piano licks.
