The other tracks are excellent in composition. So much for 20 seconds of dead space! Also, some of the voices on track 29 are irritating, and tracks such as 'Koopa Castle', 'DK's Jungle Park' and 'Banshee Boardwalk' are far from memorable, with very little variation. The fanfares, which are bonus tracks 22-28, are only brief, unmusical motifs that are downright awful to listen to. I don't know what Nintendo was thinking, but I believe this was one of their corny tricks to make you think that this CD is longer than it actually is. What I'm saying is that the CD counts down 15 seconds or 20 seconds (Ugh!) before actually starting the music. All of the tracks, including the bonus tracks, have an awfully long dead space before the music. In many ways, this CD is the big banana for Mario Kart 64 fans, but in some ways it becomes downright annoying.įirst the cons.

In my personal belief, this CD is a much better buy than 'Mario Kart 64: Greatest Hits Soundtrack' because it contains all of the music from the game, plus eight hidden bonus tracks.
