{{italic title|The Dab Master/''Mario Kart World'' soundtrack}}
:''(Only a mockup, I'm not sure if I plan on finishing this. Feedback is much appreciated. Also based on [[User:EvieMaybe/Proposal sandbox#Overhaul our coverage of music|this upcoming proposal]] by [[User:EvieMaybe|EvieMaybe]].)''

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

Things to mention:
*Any music-related credits
*The soundtrack uses a lot of heavy {{wp|jazz fusion}} and {{wp|big band}} elements, following in the direction ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' went in with its music, but is also a lot more varied in general style. This is most apparent in the [[route]] and [[Free Roam]] arrangements.
*Members of Dezolve and {{wp|T-Square (band)|T-Square}} also contributed to the soundtrack.
*Anything relevant in the [https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-18-mario-kart-world-part-1/ Ask the Developer interviews].
*The ♭7̂ - 1̂- ♭7̂ - 1̂ motif from the "[[Main Theme (Mario Kart World)|Main Theme]]", the "[[Super Mario Kart Title Screen]]" motif, and the 2̂-1̂-5̂-5̂ motif from "[[Staff Credits (Mario Kart 64 theme)|Staff Credits]]" from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. Also the harmonica.

===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 {{section|Mario Kart World|Music_2}}).

"'''Mario Bros. Circuit'''"<ref name=MKWorld>''[[Mario Kart World]]'' pause menu</ref> plays in its [[Mario Bros. Circuit|eponymous course]] during races and [[Highlight Reel]]s. 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 {{wp|Coda (music)|coda}}s. 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.

Plays during [[Choco Island 1]]'s and [[Choco Island 2]]'s tribute [[List of Mario Kart World missions|mission]]s. From ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.

===Arrangements===
Things to mention:
*General overview of the arrangements, definitely should go more in-depth than in {{section|Mario Kart World|Music}}.
**Total of 227 arrangements.
**How [[Mario Kart World#Grand Prix|Grand Prix]], [[Mario Kart World#VS Race|VS Race]], and [[Mario Kart World#Free Roam|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 (Super Mario Bros.)|Underground BGM]] (Jazz Fusion Ver.)" and "[[Main Theme (Super Mario 64)|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 [[User:The Dab Master/Sandbox#Removed "Absent course themes" section from Mario Kart World article|an entire section]].
