  • Mario RPG Remake is finally here! The original Mario RPG soundtrack is one of my favorite game OSTs of all time. I was wondering if they would go for 100% accurate recreations of the old Mario RPG music, or if they would change the compositions in any way. And wow, it seems like they did change some things...

    What I like about this remastered soundtrack is that it sounds like Yoko Shimomura brought all of her skills from the Mario & Luigi series. Mushroom Way's extra instruments makes it sound incredibly similar to Plack Beach from Bowser's Inside Story.

    Right now it's 4:50 AM (Central) for me, and I won't be going to bed for several hours yet (night owl), so I probably won't be able to be on the game channel while you're live there, but I will definitely watch, later. I'm sure the grandkids will, too. Mario is VERY popular in this household.
    Thanks again, for this lovely video.

    Great video as always! It's so nice to see you talking about the game and the music with enthusiasm. I'm playing the game right now, laughing and crying. I've been in the Forest Maze for a while, just listening to the music. Oh, I love Beware the Forest's Mushrooms. I really like the arrangement that retains the charm of the original while adding an elegant and gorgeous touch. I'm so moved by the sincerity and love that went into the arrangement. It's a great game with great music. As a fan of Mario, FF and Yoko Shimomura, I was looking forward to this remake more than anything. I hope you enjoy the game! Thanks for the video, Davi. I really enjoyed the video!

    "The Road is Full of Dangers"/Mushroom Way apparently has a similar vibe to that of the Super Mario Bros. Overworld theme, according to Dan Spencer "Best Music Coach/Music Theory for Gamers."
    From what I gathered - not the same melody, but the beat & general progression is the same

    So... prior to this RPG coming out, there is another RPG remake coming out next year known as "Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door" and honestly I recommend reacting to the original soundtrack, and honestly this is one of my new favorites(other than Mission mode:Pikmin 3 remix from smash which is one song but I highly recommend it and Splatoon OST which is phenomenal.) If you want a few recommendations on some songs you can listen to, then here are a few I can recommend or the few that were shown in the trailer:
    Paper Mario Thousand Year Door Main Theme: It's actually got a few changes in the parts of the beat from the beginning of a sow build up to the sounds of what may I presume are 8-bit parts then it comes really fast honestly I recommend listening to this one, it can give you truly a wild ride.
    Battle Theme or apparently (its battle time!): a really good fast song for when fighting again one song that definitely slaps.
    Petal Meadows(or The breeze of Petal Meadows): Also a good banger song it's got some slow beats and some fast beats and I feel like kind of a solo and honestly I feel as if it gives me Toby Fox vibes...
    Also.... If you want.... Smash having 1068 songs have some great remixes and original songs I could also recommend a few, but there is only like three i listen two specifically Halland/Dalarna which is a minecraft song which is really original, Pikmin main theme remix which is also awesome but not as awesome as mission mode: Pikmin 3 which slaps, also other than the remix of Megalovania and lifelight and remix of Gourmet race, however that doesn't mean I love Splattack from Splatoon cause that series have some of the most awesome songs in partially nintendo history basically the Undertale and Deltarune of Nintendo which I also highly recommend.

    I've always loved the music from Super Mario RPG, and the remake improved on every track. The soul is still there, shining brighter than ever.
    My favorite tracks are the battle theme, victory theme, and the boss themes. I have them on my phone to listen to once in a while when I want a little inspiration for my writing.
    My favorite part of your videos is how you just enjoy the music and vibe when analyzing it before you break it down. When you enjoy what you do, it shows.

    One of the best titles I've ever played, and one of my all time favorites as a kid. Glad they recognized the fans this time and did a full remake. I don't have it in my hands just yet as I preordered to get special items that weren't available in America's preorders but the soundtrack still sounds amazing. Now we just need Geno and Mallow to become officially full time Mario recognized characters in future titles, at least make future appearances (besides some mini game). Geno for Smash.

    To me, this game is the BEST Mario game ever. Bar none. It gathered the best of so many worlds and blended it in such a fantastic way that even to this day, there's little you can add to the game, because the game was already perfect.
    And this remake illustrates again why Yoko Shimomura is one of the 3 great composers from old Squaresoft, nay, from the old era of console gaming that defined the standards.
    She follows that phrase from the Amadeus movie to the letter "Funny little tune, but it yielded some surprising variations" (Mozart referring to Salieri's Mio Caro Adone). How she blended TWO classic Mario themes into one memorable song that really hits you and says "It's a Mario Adventure" and stays with you for decades.
    Then she distilled the essence of Mario and there is not a single track (except Culex's) who doesn't say "It's a Mario Game".
    This game is my childhood and the first JRPG ever that I succeed in finishing.
    So I'm as excited to watch you review its music (please continue doing the comparison of the old with the new) as you are to review it. Especially "Fight Against a Somewhat Stronger Monster", "Fight Against An Armed Boss", "Booster Hill (Save Peach)", "Fight Against Smithy", and (imo) the best of them "Beware the Forest Mushrooms".

    So far the only audio related thing I've found disappointing is that the weapon attack sounds aren't all there.

    Everything about the sound design in the original is ascendant, every last UI noise, sound effect, and track. I was a bit disappointed they changed the sound effect for thunderbolt and removed the perfect timing crash, and some of the bass in tracks and sound effects are missing. The OGST beats down with subs, and a bit of that is missing in the remake, not that its worse, alot has definitely been improved, but I have so much nostalgia for this game I cant help but hear the difference.

    Just to clear up the clickbait title and save people some time, no. They didn’t change it. The original soundtrack is right there in the options, and no music was removed or altered on that end. The remastered track also has all of the music, so nothing was removed on that front, either. You get an instrumental upgrade and the original as options
