Mine Cart Madness

will ride it if I can,

but my main goal is Minecart Madness and then Stardust and obviously Monsters Unchained as much as possible.

And new food, different food.

I'm going to be tempted to go to Pizza Moon, but I have to fight it and try other stuff.

And Naoto Kubo did such a good job understanding that sometimes you don't need to completely reinvent something.

This arrangement of Minecart Madness is a lot brighter, bigger, and cleaner than what we heard coming out of the Super Nintendo in 1994.

But the personality of David Wise's original is still right baked into this particular track.

That melody is still doing some really fucking heavy lifting.

Um, and we've gone from games almost everybody listening probably knows to some incredibly obscure stuff that I'm guessing a lot of people, like I said, maybe discovered for the first time today.

But eventually we had to come home.

We had to end on Donkey Kong because the entire reason today's episode is called Minecart Madness is because of Donkey Kong Country.

David Wise helped establish that musical language.
