Episode #430 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth are taking a hard left turn away from the Mushroom Kingdom and diving headfirst into the wide, wonderful, and occasionally chaotic world of non-Mario Kart kart racers.
From Diddy Kong Racing to Crash Team Racing, from a Bloodborne-inspired gothic nightmare to a Muppet-filled trip to Fraggle Rock, we're celebrating the kart racing genre's rich history beyond Nintendo's juggernaut. Join us for some laps around the tracks!
