Comments/criticisms/suggestions appreciated.

EDIT: Varied the percussion a bit.

The lead melody reminds me of old Sonic games. I love the way you did the intro, too.

The thing I didn't like is that the melodies were a bit repetitive along with the basic main percussion. I mean the kick and snare, you know? Add some variety into it and it'll get better.

And maybe add more emotion to it. Dramatic hardcore is always awesome.

It sounds like if Mariokart were an F-Zero game. :P
I like it a lot, especially all the chippy-sounding background bits... is that indeec peach or monomate I hear back there? But yeah, it does get a bit repetitive...

Monomate is the bass, everything else is Vanguard. Yeah, I'll work on varying the percussion up so it's not so repetitive.

EDIT: Oops, I forgot to credit Slayer for the guitarism.

Very nice, in general. I'd say to perfect this song, add a mid rage pad (not strings), as through the first part of the song, it sounds both empty and needlessly complex without one. Other comments include: add just a pinch more melodic variety by making the progression repeated less, or vary it a bit more. all in all, though, great job.
