Haha, maybe if there was a cool 3D demo scene for it the visuals might be worth it, but I was thinking more like being able to program the song in something like MML or Daflemask and just exporting the song for playback.

Individual instrument exporting is seriously a game changer.

I wouldn't have cut so much meat out of the bass especially if your highpass filter is 12dB/oct. I like to keep my bass' highpass filter around 30hz. Again I'm only saying my personal preference. Refine your style and don't get too discouraged if others have a different outlook than you. Though, still take all styles into consideration and try all kinds of ways to do things.

Another trick I use is to high pass every other instrument to make more room for your bass and kick. Don't carve out any frequency that the instrument is actually using but only the low stuff that the instrument isn't using. For example if I had a snare track I would find the fundamental note that the snare's main meat is, then Id put a high pass filter below that so that it doesn't take away any snare meat but still makes room for the bass. All instruments can use a bit of this treatment.

Simple tones like squares and triangles usually don't need compression cause they are synthesized at a constant volume already. and when you compress an entire mix you are usually just sucking the life out of the drums. I would only put a very light amount of comp if any. But others have their own ways of processing.

On 'Drifting Mariokarts' I noticed only like one or two of your bass notes really resonate with any power at all. I suspect you are boosting something like 80hz with a bell curve. I would recommend not doing this (Personally). I would have instead just shelved out some the highmid-high stuff and increase the overall volume. This will make the lows increase more evenly across the freq spectrum.

Again everyone prolly has their own ways of accomplishing these things. Just some ideas to try and see if they work.

Well, Lets hear it

For macs without audio input jacks, I use a thunderbolt audio interface to input audio to the mac. Usb or firewire devices can also be used. I was only photographing that PC cause I imagine it will be what most beginners have at their disposal.
