Mario Kart 8[edit]

In Mario Kart 8, an arrangement of "GCN Yoshi Circuit" can be heard in its titular course, which was added in the The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8 DLC. The arrangement is accompanied with the following liner notes in the Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack:

"For this track, in order to fully bring out Yoshi's whimsical nature, we swapped the brass part used in the original track with a saxophone ensemble. We also rerecorded that characteristic choppy guitar sound live. We left the whistling part untouched, though!"

This arrangement is reused for the same purpose in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
