So how does the music stack up? Very, very well.
The disc ends with a slew of little jingles that play throughout the game. They are a joy to listen to and it is impossible to not feel nostalgic about a bygone era.
The package is rounded out with Disc 4 that includes an array of 8bit versions of the main themes found throughout the game when Mario enters the 2D realm. The second half of disc 3 includes the full versions of the vocal tracks along with Japanese and Karaoke versions. Discs 1 through 3 cover most of the game music taking you from that wonderful opening theme through to the final battel with Bowser. There are 143 tracks spread across the 4 CDs and from the very start you will be transported back to the Mushroom Kingdom. Even the slip cover is made from high quality cardboard that almost feels plastic to the touch. This week sees the release in Japan of a 4 disc boxset of the Super Mario Odyssey Original Soundtrack and boy what a package it is. Really it shouldn’t work but the melody is so infectious that you can’t help but smile and sway to the beat of a Nintendo shaped drum. Which in turn delivered a near cinematic experience not generally associated with platformers.įast forward more than a decade and Nintendo’s 10/10 Super Mario Odyssey has a soundtrack to match the greatness of the game and in keeping with trends to try new firsts the Odyssey track includes the first song with words. Its use of orchestrated music was a first for the series and featured an array of memorable melodies.
Often among Mario fans and aficionados there is a universal unspoken truth that Super Mario Galaxy has the best soundtrack of any Mario game.
