"Staff Credits",[1] also known as simply "Credits",[2] is a musical theme in Mario Kart 7, where it plays during the game's staff credits. The theme is lead by a saxophone, with a piano playing both chords and occasional licks throughout the theme, sometimes even temporarily taking over the lead position. As well, a heavy slap bass and fairly standard 4
4 percussion back the entire theme.
The theme heavily quotes from other Mario Kart 7 themes, specifically "Mario Kart 7 Title Screen" and "Toad Circuit". Furthermore, "Toad Circuit" itself quotes from "Mario Kart 7 Title Screen", and "Mario Kart 7 Title Screen" quotes from a number of other Mario Kart themes, including "Mario Kart 64 Title Screen" from Mario Kart 64.
