Super Mario Kart: Improved Sound Samples is a modification for the Super Nintendo version of the classic racing game. This patch enhances the musical experience by resampling key sound samples including synth bass and electric guitar, providing improved loop points and fidelity. While it benefits rom hackers interested in custom music, it introduces a minor issue where whistle sound effects are pitched lower. Additional included files support further customization.
This is a small patch that tries to improve the game's music by resampling the synth bass, synth brass, electric guitar and whistle sound samples based on their original sources and giving them better loop points. Useful for rom hackers who are interested in custom music and not satisfied with the game's original samples.
The only issue with this patch is that sound effects that use the whistle sample will be lower pitched by almost an octave, as they don't use the same instrument table. An update that fixes this may or may not come in the future.
Two additional .bins are included, one with the Pointers+Samples and another one with the instrument table, in case someone wants them for whatever reason.
