Race Opening Sequences

We are going to start the art part of our racetrack, and part of that is making the opening sequence! For inspiration, we are looking at some good opening sequences. I think all of the ones from Mario Kart 8 are good, and it helps that that game is really pretty and polished in the first place, but I want to talk about the one for Mute City.
It starts off with a panning out view of this giant sci-fi building with a vast city landscape and gives a really good feeling of what kind of environment this is. Then, they show this insane sideways twisting part of the track that personally gets me pumped up about the race because it just looks exciting. Then, you pull backwards from the starting line, and then you get to start the game! I kind of wish there was one more interesting shot highlighting the track, but what there is does a good job of showcasing what the track has to offer.
