* ''7'' also gives us its take on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTIHnX3abL0 SNES Rainbow Road]]. It shows how well the original song holds up when all this remix needs to do is uncompress the drums and the song sounds modern again.

Its tune was originally in the previous game, and was brought back in ''Super Circuit''. The track would later get remixed and/or modified in later games (e.g. a calypso remix for ''Double Dash!!'', a modified version in ''DS'', a majestic remix in ''Wii'', an up-beat modified version in ''7'', and a glorious, epic and flourishing remix in ''8'').

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhOHzGuYBqA Rainbow Road]] music delivers both the sheer awesome and the sense of finality again, this time complete with a MusicalNod to both the ''Mario Kart DS'' Rainbow Road music and the Good Egg Galaxy stage music from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''. Probably the most magical-sounding Rainbow Road across all games.

Per multiple ATT discussions, fan remixes do not go on the page for their parent work. (Just as well, since most of these simply call them "this remix"; if the videos are gone, there's no way to find replacements.)



[[folder:Fan Remixes]]
* This absolutely ''glorious'' medley of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8cz-90n6iE all Rainbow Road themes]]. It is the fan remix to end all fan remixes.
* Speaking of Rainbow Road, the ''64'' theme is one of the most remixed ones in the franchise...
** Here's a [[http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/64622 heavy metal version]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXqJEEAA-sw This version]], from the ''VideoGame/FZero X'' Expansion Kit, released [[NoExportForYou only in Japan for a failed N64 expansion]]. If you wanted to hear a rock version of Rainbow Road, here's your chance. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SSZWigl8pw This fan-made mix]] combines both.
* Because ''reasons'', there is an official club remix of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pqw7B5eA9g title screen theme for ''64'']], and it's worth dancing to. It's from an album called ''[[http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_64_on_Club_Circuit Mario 64 on Club Circuit]]''.
* This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y25eBJz5XNw awesome 8-bit arrangement]] of Toad Harbor from ''8''.
* [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=_UubN1kpnrE A remix]] of 8's Electrodrome track with vocals!
