Thanks to SonicGalaxy27 for the news tip!

Yoshi’s Story should be on this list, too. We literally heard music from that game in the Mario Kart World Direct.
Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64, that’s what’s up!
and watch the RPG games like Paper Mario or Mario & Luigi get no remixed tracks
They generally get no representation in Mario Kart because they’re not mainline Mario games that were developed in-house at Nintendo EPD. The mainline series tends to ignore the RPGs as well.
Definitive mario kart game. Brings up a thought. I think MK8 will be the definitive game of “classic” MK for a while. MK world seems to be a new direction and type of MK as we know. At some point I think we will get another remaster of MK8. Maybe even a “retro” type of Mk 15 years from now. One where you select individual levels, where the new standard will be open world racing game.
