Smash Champion
Try, Try Again is probably my favourite regular battle theme from the M&L series, so it's a shame the Smash version butchered it. The game also has my favourite final boss theme for the series and a whole lot more (I feel like listing my favourites but need more time to think about it - may come back to this later)Oh, for sure. DT's OST is easily my favorite Mario RPG soundtrack, surpassing even the Paper Marios for me.
Somnom Woods is easily one of my most favorite RPG songs and Mario locations ever. The boss there was great, the puzzles were fantastic, the enemies were challenging and well balanced, it was definitely a highlight of that game for me. The Dreamy variant is even better.
DT really is an underrated gem. I actually do think I like it just a bit more than BiS, if I'm being perfectly honest. Only negative I can think of for the game was the Giant Luigi battles. Other than that, though, DT is fantastic: The 2D sections from BiS came back and were way more entertaining and streamlined with the Luiginary abilities, the combat was incredibly polished, it has IMO the peak of the series' boss lineup, and the game had an extremely interesting world like PiT did, but without PiT's baggage.
...I might just play through it again sometime later this year.
Regarding Giant Battles, while not perfect, I still think they're the best version of the three versions of the giant battles (Bowser, Luigi, Papercraft) that we've had: the Fawful Express alone drags down the Giant Bowser fights in BiS
