Channel count maxed out as I wanted to replicate that backing low synth using only Mario Kart DS's instrumentation, which ended up using a whopping 5 channels! As a result, many of the instruments for sure will cut out if this song were ever played in Mario Kart DS. It makes me wonder if the developers of Mario Kart DS had a hard time choosing any Bowser Castle tracks from the previous Mario Kart games before deciding on MKSC's Bowser Castle 2 in terms of picking a song where the instruments won't get interrupted. Still, MKDS's Choir Aah instrument has a lenghty attack in the sample itself, so I used the string instrument to help it out a bit (just like any MIDI cover of this song you've likely heard out there as no solo string sample is used in the original song itself).
I also wonder if MK64's Bowser's Castle is underrated compared to the other Bowser Castle tracks. It only reappeared in Mario Kart Wii back in 2008, and hasn't reappeared in the future Mario Kart games since. There also doesn't seem to be much covers of this particular song as well (besides the various MIDI covers on VGMusic). If anything, MK64's Bowser's Castle is notable for having a Thwomp locked behind bars that appears to have a green coloration due to the lighting of where its located, and it so has the nickname of "Marty." I had actually wondered as a kid how the Thwomp ended up behind bars.
