Is chess a good game because it has knights that look the same as real life, and is played on a bed of dirt and grass, just like real life? No it is good because the gameplay is clearly defined and easy to comprehend. There is a thing called unfitting music, but there are 2 types: Fittingly unfitting, for comedic effect, and simply uncomedic unfitting. The songs in Mario Kart 8 often just sound like random arcade noise, or are very subtle musically. (There are a couple exceptions, but in these cases, the maps are too crazy and faced paced to fit the emotional tone of the music.) The earlier games (SNES Mario, Double Dash, MK64, and MK Wii) all had songs with a clear identity.

None of the songs though, really hit home. Some of the songs are actually annoying and have an annoying poppy drum beat. Some of the songs are good, but others are hit and miss. Thus the game is inherently headache inducing, but perhaps, that was the intention.

The sound EQ space seems to be all competing for the same bandwidth. The engine drones out the music, and the powerups drown out the music. Therefore, the tonality of all the sound registers are, competing for sound space.

And Mario Kart 8 does not fix this flaw, but welcomes it and expounds upon it. Mario Kart 64's biggest flaw was the unrealistic and annoying engine noise.

First of all, the engine noise is extremely annoying, as annoying as Mario Kart 64. So what then? Does chess have bells and whistles? The latest graphics? The latest shaders? Or is it a game for the sake of games. Chess we unite universally, chess is good, everyone loves it. But first we go back to definitions again. That Double Dash is the best Mario Kart and I will explain why.
