It's supposed to be calypso - the feel comes from the syncopation of straight rhythms, you don't need to swing! I get that it's intentional - they're going for an orchestral soft-shoe/foxtrot kind of thing, but still, I think it weakens the greatest asset of Kondo's iconic music.

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Well that’s based off the terrific Mario Sunshine arrangement of the theme, so it gets a pass, plus it’s not really orchestral (the album it’s from is a big band live performance). That whole album is great, I used to listen to it all the time. The rousing encore of the Mario 64 Rainbow Road/slider theme is so much fun!

Popular Post Tydirium 1,167 Posted December 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 First actual clip from the film with score: Multiple game themes! Definitely wasn't expecting this, and I couldn't be happier to have been wrong in this case. Based on this clip alone, the score is already 100x better than I expected; Brian Tyler may knock this one out of the park.

mstrox 6,651 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 The only part of the clip I really found interesting was the music - hopefully that’s representative of the whole score!

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I've seen more than enough from the teaser and the first trailer to be optimistic about the movie, I'm not gonna watch any further trailers and certainly not a clip!

Popular Post Stark 316 Posted December 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 The music in the clip is fantastic, so many great small uses of game themes. I hope the entire score is like this. I hear Super Mario Bros 3’ Toad house, the Super Mario Bros main theme obviously, Super Mario 64’s Bob-Omb Battlefield, a theme from Super Mario World, and one of the New Super Mario Bros vocal effects at least. enderdrag64, Tydirium, Yavar Moradi and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I hope the musical references aren't just about the nostalgia of millennials/gen xers (ie, references to Mario games from 1985-1996). There's a wealth of amazing Mario music from the last 20 years too that shouldn't be ignored. Tydirium and dyemery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - and some of the best Mario music isn’t even widely known, like the more recent Paper Mario games. I suspect the film will only use themes composed by Koji Kondo (partly because he’s involved in the film itself), which will bias the options away from the excellent recent music but will still be enough to be great. enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I like what I hear so far - shades of Powell’s animation writing with lots of fun twists and turns and instrumentation. Particularly love the cool rendition of the OG Mario theme, really amplifies the fun rhythm of Kondo’s music! Listening again and I just noticed the fun “bop” sample from the New Super Mario Bros theme just as he pops out of the pipe. Hope the whole score is peppered with these kinds of fun easter eggs enderdrag64 and Stark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post artguy360 1,844 Posted December 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2022 The music sounds good so far. I'm glad it retains the Koji Kondo sound and isn't Zimmer-fied music. Edmilson, TSMefford and enderdrag64 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,364 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 We can only hope that the cast of this one enjoyed making it more than Bob Hoskins did the last time round - 'In a 2007 interview, Hoskins said "The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a fuckin' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! Fuckin' nightmare. Fuckin' idiots." He and Leguizamo would get drunk before each day of filming and would continue to drink between takes. In a 2011 interview, he was asked, "What is the worst job you've done?", "What has been your biggest disappointment?", and "If you could edit your past, what would you change?" His answer to all three was Super Mario Bros.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldfinger 59 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I've watched a few Youtube Making Ofs that go in depth on the disaster of the film. It truly is astounding how these directors talked themselves into the job and then went full ego crazy all while making a movie with little connection to the games it was based other than a few names. Its not surprising that Nintendo has been so protective of its IPs ever since. I just hope this new movie is a hit so we can finally get a Legend of Zelda movie, something I've been waiting for thirty years to see.

Definitely not from any game, it’s not quite the same as any game variation. My first guess would have been that it was written promotionally (like trailer music), but a few moments have harmonies that sound like something that would be added in a movie proper. It could also be from a concert, which I wouldn’t be familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
