This type of jazz-fusion soundtrack should feel familiar to anyone who has played Mario Kart. Built around a central theme, this soundtrack contains a diverse set of tracks that range from chill, laid‑back vibes to full 80's style rock compositions.

It's become a classic in videogame soundtrack history, and there are plenty of cool covers that elevate the songs to new heights. Just check out this cover by BARx & Jabo.

One of my favorites is "Drake Lake", with its walking bass and subdued vibe.
