One last chiptune cover for 2022, and I'm ending it off with a bang! This past year, the original Rainbow Road theme from Super Mario Kart has become my favorite song in from Nintendo's Mario Kart series. Its powerful chords resonate with me so much that I knew I had to do it justice with a cover using the Namco 163 sound expansion (Ms. Oka, your genius knows no bounds). In fact, part of my inspiration to make this was a fantastic 2A03+VRC7 cover of Rainbow Road made all the way back in 2008 by a Japanese chiptune artist known as Tappy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im_a21xNd2A). While this 2A03+163 cover of mine was made from scratch, I used Tappy's 2A03+VRC7 cover as a reference point along with the original Super Famicom version so I could nail it, and I think this was an astounding success. I hope you guys enjoy this cover, and be sure to check out my Christmas special when it releases on December 23rd! ;3
