Mario Kart 8 might actually be the first Mario Kart to use a live instrumental soundtrack? As you can see, the theme from the E3 trailer/Mario Circuit theme has been apparently updated for the final game. Compare these two: Kinda skeptical on the sound of the saxophone myself. Otherwise, that's some pretty damn good synthesizers. Hopefully we'll finally have the classic Rainbow Road theme from 64, Double Dash!!, and 7 played by a real orchestra someday soon. How blissful!~ <3
