Dolphin Shoals is the course theme Atsuko Asahi composed for Mario Kart 8, released for the Wii U in 2014 and again on Switch as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in 2017. The course starts underwater, the first in the series to do so, then climbs out of a cave into anti-gravity driving, and the music follows the driver through all of it. Instead of one fixed loop, the theme has three variations that switch according to where the leading human player is on the course. Underwater the arrangement is calm and soothing, with the melody on a steel pan, a nylon-string guitar and samba rhythms keeping it gentle; in the cave section it turns more ambient and a little mysterious; and once the driver reaches open air a live saxophone takes over the melody, played by Kazuki Katsuta. Asahi has explained that the saxophone melody sits one key higher than the other parts, a small trick that helps the change feel natural. The saxophone part travelled beyond the game. Online musicians singled out one flashy phrase from the solo and nicknamed it the Mario Kart lick. The theme as a whole has the feel of an afternoon at the shore: bright, a little cheeky, and always moving.
