Super Mario Bros. 2 Overworld Theme | Ragtime / Boogie Woogie Piano Cover

After recently playing SMB2 on the Nintendo Switch and seeing the cool Mario Maker 2 update, this tune got stuck in my head and I felt like doing a little ragtime / stride piano arrangement. Hope you enjoy.
Performed on the Yamaha CP88.

When I hear this song I can't help but think of the legendary Tom Brier and his sight read cover. Such a sad story that guy's been thru. Hope he gets better some day

[@GLASYS]

I think I've seen some of his sight reading videos before. What happened to him?

[@StereoTyp0]

@@GLASYS he was in a severe car accident. Lost the ability to play, among other injuries.

[@GLASYS]

@@StereoTyp0 damn that's so tragic. I hope he's able to recover...

[@Fleetw00d]

GLASYS AFAIK he has been recovering. He had a web page with updates, but I haven’t checked in a while.

[@enetheru]

My thoughts exactly..

[@jaretanderson]

Underrated side effect of your videos is that they encourage me to hop off UA-cam and play some music instead haha

[@conservativechristianmusic8848]

You say that like it's a bad thing, when it's really not.

Yo thank you 🙏

[@bigboiinanut9967]

I always heard this song in ragtime, and even remade it in a ragtime manner as well, but this takes the cake. Very good!

[@GLASYS]

Thank you! 😀🙏

[@tomchristmusickchannel312]

Always LOVED this song. Every Mario game has such memorable music. Thanks for keeping the memory alive. This looks like a difficult piece!

[@GLASYS]

Thanks Tom! Hope all is well dude!

0:22 I LOVE this delayed triplets run. Maybe, there could have been even a tad more dissonance to it. However, it was a stunning great performance. Thank you, you've made my day. Cheers and thumb up!

[@mojorisen74]

I have to admit even to this day this is my favorite Super Mario Bros. game. Great playing as usual!

[@GLASYS]

It's definitely a classic! thank you! :)

[@rendelldraw]

I hope Nintendo will consider Mario 3D World's Switch port a success and make a sequel featuring Subcon again with Mario and the gang confronting Wart and his minions once more!
- No Level Timers
- No Brick Blocks
- '?' Blocks replaced by Grass to obtain 'Power-Ups'
- Power-Ups replaced by Vegetables and other objects you can throw around (they can spice things up by giving vegetables unique effects when held and/or thrown).
- Conjuring Red Doors by smashing Potions to temporarily enter the alternate reality Subspace where Mushrooms to increase max HP can be found.
- Phanto chasing the player carrying the key he guards.
- Basically all the SMB2 mechanics but evolved.
I just love the otherworldly atmosphere of this game!

[@hawkeyesuperguygaming5179]

I played super mario bros 2 on my uncle's nes as my first mario game. Been in love since!

[@Action_Figure_King]

It's def my favorite of the original NES 3!!!! It was so different and innovative.

[@timmyotoole6063]

really? the actual game is meh. this song is easily one of the best video game tunes of all time though

[@Voxxicon]

Wow!

[@horizon8375]

Happy 1 year birthday to this video!!

[@GLASYS]

It's already been a year?? Wow... Time flies

[@NsskMedia]

I wonder how long it would take me to be able to play a song like this so fast and accurately 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@timmyotoole6063]

depends on your experience level

[@tanakayuto148]

best cover

[@GLASYS]

Hey thanks so much 🙏

[@rellman85]

Always reminded me of Joplin's "The Entertainer." Very ragtimey!

[@StereoTyp0]

Channeling some Tom Brier there, great work Gil!

[@Jugy_fjw]

Unlike the first Super Mario Bros worldwide theme that passed an energy kind of to animate the gameplay, this one is so jolly, gorgeous, and makes an impression that the entire game is rooting for you to win. Everything is going to succeed fine, GO! I'm also watching it after some ASMRs, sleepy, what makes it 10.000 times better hearing at low volume. * -*

You're truly a genius if you improvised this wich I guess you did because there was no sheet music on the piano o:

It sounds a lot like ragtime

[@MelodiousIllumination]

0:33 really gives me this feeling that something really important, necessary and planned is about to happen, like you've spent years waiting to become an owner of a multi million dollar business, and right before you shake the hand of the man/woman you will surpass, somebody throws an old turnip down 4 stories and hits you clean in the face as you look up in shock and disbelief. 0:33

[@marvinkmooneyoz]

Does the Prophet x have any behavioral scripting/velocity levels to the piano sounds? I don’t have a weighted stage keyboard, wondering if combining poly synth and piano would be sufficient for me, or if it really falls short compared to things like that Yamaha cp

[@GLASYS]

The piano sounds do have velocity layers, 3 I believe. The biggest limitation for piano is the polyphony, but it might not be an issue depending on your playing style

[@AllSven]

Ugh - all those knobs!! What do all those knobs do?!?!

[@GLASYS]

Change sounds, fx etc.
