Mario Kart 64 Greatest Hits Soundtrack (1997)

Super Mario 64 will always be my personal favorite game, but this and SuperMario Maker 2 make a very close second. also haha I'm the first to comment!
 
Such great tunes! This is one of the few instances where I can ignore subpar MIDI just because the composition itself is so good.

Not all of Mario Kart 64's soundfont used General MIDI instruments. Yes, the Roland Sound Canvas (specifically the SC-88) was the primary source of the music's instrumentation - in fact, the game uses 22 of its instruments, and 12 drum samples from 2 of its drumsets. But there are also a number of devices used as secondary sound sources: Roland's JD-990 and JV-1080 synthesizers and VE-RD1 piano expansion board, the Korg Wavestation, the E-MU Proteus/3, Digidesign's SampleCell II CD-ROM Library, and Spectrasonics' Bass Legends and Supreme Beats.
