Much like Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart 64 is a classic and addictive time sink, spending hours at a time just having a blast with friends and family. Unlike DKR, however, I actually owned this game, and played it quite a lot when my brothers and I got into the mood for it. The variety of tracks was fun and exciting, with a cast of characters gamers have known and loved for years. The music is masterfully done and memorable, and has been remixed time and time again.
Frappe Snowland is one such track, a setting that beckons memories of both good times and frustration. The entire song is carried on a simple three-note chord, but the bells and peaceful melody support it very well. I find it impressive that it maintains repetition without being annoying, but then again, I've built up very high expectations of Koji Kondo. He never fails to deliver, and neither do the games his work encompasses.
