The other voices are all the same, but Luigi, Toad, and Peach have different voices than in the American version they sound high-pitched and twice as annoying.

While these are great factors to cheer about, Mario Kart 64 fans will be surprised at the differences of the voices of Luigi, Toad (Kinopio in Japan), Wario, and Peach. The producers managed to fix major problems that were on Race Tracks best of all is that there is no dead space in between any tracks, sorting the biggest problem on the Race Tracks CD. Many Mario Kart fans will recognize the same old tunes we heard in the game, but most surprisingly, one track, 'Result #1 (Win),' is much longer than it was on the other Mario Kart CD, Mario Kart 64 Race Tracks (US), and in fact there is a new part heard in the theme featuring the piano. Almost all the tracks are humorous, except for some which seem to sound unmusical like 'Jungle' and 'Castle', or heroic like 'Rainbow.' The composer, Kenta Nagata, deserves great credit for composing some of the most impressive music I have ever heard. What we have here is a great selection of tunes that are energetic and electrifying, but softened up with humorous paths in between. The music itself, for those of you who don't know, may not be much, but it is certainly one of the more lively soundtracks written for the Nintendo 64. This is the third Mario Kart 64 CD, and it is certainly the best. Mario Kart 64 Original Soundtrack (Japan) Mario Kart 64 Original Soundtrack (Japan) :: Review by Jon Turner
