And so much of this music is just utterly fantastic even still. Ditto for the songs from Super Mario Land 2, which are also getting their first proper soundtrack release with this collection. Yeah, there’s a lot of Sunshine accounted for here, but that game actually never got a proper CD soundtrack release, so getting any of it is a bit of a treat. I guess I am nitpicking a bit, and some of the inclusions are a pleasant surprise. And it would have given us room for at least some “Rainbow Road” action from Super Mario Kart. One track, at most, from each game would have been more than sufficient. And the music from that version sounds like the music from the Wii version, and so on. The music from the DS version sounds like the music from the 3DS version.

And not only is the music from those games ungodly horrible, but it’s all endlessly derivative.

Also, nearly half of the second disc is dedicated to games in the “New” Super Mario series, and that’s just too much music from a series that is widely criticized for having absolutely lousy music (that “wah wah” sound is just the worst sound in history). Super Mario 64 gets just five tracks, while Super Mario Sunshine gets a whopping nine. The distribution of music, how many songs each game gets, seems odd as well. I get that they couldn’t fit everything on a two disc, but I wish that they would have opted for a more diverse selection of games, even if it meant less music from some games. Donkey Kong games, any of the Mario RPGs, or any sports games that featured the Mario characters. Yoshi’s Island didn’t make the cut, neither did any of the Mario vs. But a lot is also excluded from this collection. That’s seventeen games in all, which sounds like a lot. Specifically, it includes music from the following: Music is a 2CD set collecting over two and a half hours of music from various Mario games.

There was the festival, the Tower Records promotion, the video game, and now there’s the CD. Mario’s 30th Anniversary celebration continues. Credited Composer: Nintendo ( Koji Kondo, Hirokazu Tanaka, Kazumi Totaka, Shinobu Tanaka, Mahito Yokota, Ryo Nagamatsu, Asuka Hayazaki).
