Mario Universe General Super Mario Discussion Thread - "It'sa Me, Mario!"

[Wizzrobe]

There are too many great mario games out there, so for me it is hard to choose just won favorite.

 

[Vinylic.]

That's easy.

Wario's Woods.

To anyone who cares, Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World was probably the first game that I had ever played. I still remember how my brother played it with the controller upside-down. He actually beat all the games, with the exception of Lost Levels for very obvious reasons, with the controller upside-down. Weird as hell. I also remember how I was all LOL when I saw the enemies after beating the special world in Super Mario World. I also always used to get out of the crib when I was very young, early in the morning (sometimes opening it normally, sometimes just straight-up climbing out and just dropping to the floor) just to play SMAS+SMW, usually Mario 3, while everyone was still asleep. Sometimes, SOMETIMES, I would play some other game, but **** that.

That amazing collection will always, ALWAYS have a special place in my heart for as long as I live.

I also remember when I beat the last Bowser in Super Mario 64 in front of my friends. I used to call him Rainbow Bowser. He looked rainbow-ish to me. I also let some of my friends play SM64 as their first video game. Wow.

I still haven't beaten Sunshine 100% after all these years. Those damn blue coins.

I remember calling one of my brothers to come to my room and look at the New Super Mario Bros. commercial as if it was an emergency.

I remember getting Galaxy as a Christmas present. The game just looked sexy, and I remember watching my bro play it for the first time late at night.

When I saw Galaxy 2 was the highest-rated game on Gamerankings, and how it had a 98 on Metacritic, I pooped.

3D Land is gonna be Game of the Year.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I heard Super Mario Sunshine might get a 3D remake?

I have successfully been hyped.

 

[Anthon1996]

The triggers on the 3DS are not analog.

 

[Bowser King]

A new SMS would be even better. The GC was one of my favourite consoles so seeing new games for old series like Luigi's mansion on the 3DS would be awesome (ex. F-Zero or Pikmin).

This.

Minus F-Zero...don't really care about that. At all. XD

 

[Kuhn]

Pretty sure I played the Gamecube mainly for Mario games. My current GC collections consists of Mario games for the most part. Melee and Wind Waker are there too and I would add Pikmin or Fire Emblem but I can't find them.

I spent 18 minutes of my life watching this.

And I wouldn't have it any other way.

This was the best 18 minutes I ever spent!

 

[Segtendo]

I am a proud Mario fanboy.
I got goosebumps all throughout that video.
I am speechless at how well that was done.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

BRB enjoying 18 minutes of awesome.

Hi Mario Universe, it's been a while. How is everyone?

 

[justaway12]

That was amazing! I just saw, I love, it also reminded me how much I am in love with the Rainbow Road song.

EDIT: Turns out it wasn't the Rainbow Road song, but whatevs.

 

[Segtendo]

I want that Mario 3 song so badly.

 

[Gatlin]

OOoo thanks for posting that video Sonic, that definitely was phenomenal and well done. Can't believe it's been 30 years, wow.

Hi Tery, welcome back

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I never even knew Gatlin was a Moderator for this board.

 

[UberMario]

Best. Youtube Video. EVER.

I was surprised that they even used music from Mario Party 3!

 

[Gatlin]

I never even knew Gatlin was a Moderator for this board.

I'm a mod for this board?!? O___o
when did that happen?

You are a funny dude.

 

[Mr. Johan]

I want that Mario 3 song so badly.

Judging by the length of the video, and the way the songs are remixed, I'm guessing Hapi made it. And going off his record with his Pokemon and Kirby medleys of similar length, he just makes one full song and doesn't make the pieces with the intent of making them individually, unless the song is needed for another album; his GSC credits remix was in his Pokemon medley, and was used later in the Golden Sun/Silver Moon album.

tl;dr unless he needs use of them again, Hapi doesn't make individual songs, assuming he made this medley in the first place.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Hapi is a beast. I love the Pokemon medleys. I wasn't even aware that a Kirby medley existed. BRB

 

[Mr. Johan]

The guy had an mp3 of the entire medley on hand. All it's 42 MB glory.

I can pretty much figure out all the songs on the medley, except for like three. The ones that play at 14:10, at 16:14, and at 16:26. Anyone want to fill me in on the identities of those songs?

 

[John2k4]

That was the most awesome Mario video I've ever seen...

14:10 is a remix of the Final Battle theme in Super Mario Galaxy, 16:26 is the Ending Theme from Super Mario 64 and 16:14 is, in fact, the ending section for the same song, played as an introduction (skip to 0:56 in the SM64 link).

Would anyone like me to make a list of every song in the medley?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Look at UberMario strutting his stuff.

Well, I wouldn't be UberMario if I didn't know everything I could about Mario.

 

[Gatlin]

Haha
yeah, that would be awesome UM

Alright, I'll get to it then.

4:02-4:37 Super Mario Land 2's Overworld Theme. (The high-pitched chiptune melody that you hear in between the Mario Bros. theme and the SML2 theme is the sound effect that plays when you select a level in SML2.)
4:37-5:18 Dr. Mario's Fever theme, which imitates the Melee variant 5:06. (The fanfare at 5:06 and 5:11 is also from Dr. Mario, but I can't find a video of it online . . . . . )
5:18-5:43 The Star theme. More specifically, the remix used for Metal Mario, followed by the Koopa kicking sounds from SMW, the 1-up fanfare, and then the Wing Cap mix.
5:43-6:14 Super Mario 64's Slide Theme.
6:14-6:48 Mario Kart Wii's Circuit Theme. (By the way, if you want to know where that anime-style clip at 6:15 is from a Super Mario Kart Japanese commercial, while the one at 6:23 is a Japanese commercial for Mario Kart 64.)

16:54-17:25 The main theme for Super Mario Galaxy, but based off the SMG2 version.
17:25-17:40 The credits theme from Super Mario Galaxy.
17:46-18:02 The theme that plays when you save Princess Peach in the games.
18:02-18:10 The Game Over theme from Super Mario Bros.

I can't imagine how long it took to figure out how to order these songs by the arranger.

 

[Mr. Johan]

May want to make a note that at 18:02, the tune is actually a different one from the one before. It's the Game Over theme from Super Mario Bros.

A rather fitting closing song for this packed medley, imo.

 

[UberMario]

Thanks for the heads up, I forgot to split it.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Going through the medley for like the umpteenth time, I can say brazenly that I am totally in love with the Fever remix, the M&L remix, both Paper Mario remixes, and the Super Mario World Ending credits remix.

If these songs were individualized and made into full-fledged 3 minute remixes I would die a happy man.

 

[F8AL]

How many people here would be interested in a Tetris Friends tournament? It's free to play and lots of fun.
