(Only a mockup, I'm not sure if I plan on finishing this. Feedback is much appreciated. Also based on this upcoming proposal by EvieMaybe.)

Mario Kart World's soundtrack was composed by Atsuko Asahi, Maasa Miyoshi, Takuhiro Honda and Yutaro Takakuwa.

Things to mention:

Music

Main music

Things to mention:

  • Preludes, codas, and how they transition to and from the main tracks in each mode.
  • Things that have changed from past Mario Kart entries (See Mario Kart World § Music_2).

Quotes from
"Main Theme" (Mario Kart World)

"Mario Bros. Circuit"[1] plays in its eponymous course during races and Highlight Reels. This theme prominently features an electric guitar and harmonica for the main melody, and strings for the harmony. It also incorporates quotes of "Main Theme"'s ♭7̂ - 1̂- ♭7̂ - 1̂ motif in its chorus section, but adapted to fit the chord progression. In Knockout Tour, approaching the next checkpoint causes the music to transition into one of four codas. During the final lap, it becomes faster and a semitone higher. A simple, transitional arrangement, which features brief harmonica and piano licks, plays when approaching the track from a route before reaching the course's finish line.

Arrangements

Things to mention:

  • General overview of the arrangements, definitely should go more in-depth than in Mario Kart World § Music.
    • Total of 227 arrangements.
    • How Grand Prix, VS Race, and Free Roam handle how they play their arrangements.
    • "The Lick".
    • Some arrangements share licks between each other.
    • A lot of older or otherwise simple themes have been reimagined, reharmonized and/or expanded on.
    • Some arrangements are based on previous ones, such as "Underground BGM (Jazz Fusion Ver.)" and "Title Theme (Big Band Ver.)".
  • Maybe also common types of themes that were not arranged; unfortunately, I don't think this kind of thing deserves an entire section.
