What's a HUB?

You know, that telescope thing in space.

Best: Galaxy. The observatory felt so magical and grand. The look, the music, the feel... it was so clean and perfect.

Worst: I don't know for sure but I'll go with Super Mario 64 for now. To me, it was almost a little chilling at parts. Might be related to the lack of life.

Does "HUB" really have to be all caps?

Best: SM64. Pleasant, I guess, even if the place should be a little more sinister, given the plot.
Worst: Gee, it's hard to say... PiT was just a cheap remix, but SMG's sounded like Cinderella. Consider it a half-vote for both--or not.

B: I would say SM64 but they kinda played that one to death in the spin-offs, so I'll go with SMS, as it has a nice energy about it.

W: SMG. It just too Disney-esque for my taste.

Best: Galaxy, it was just so... magical sounding
Worst: Sunshine, I liked it, just not as much as others.

No, "hub" is not an acronym. It does not have to be capitalized.

Ah, so then it's not "Hidden Under Butt"...

Best: Super Mario Sunshine. It was a nice song that I was glad to hear remixed.

Worst: Super Mario 64. It's annoying once it gets stuck in my head.

Best: SMG. Fitting to the magical environment.

Worst: PiT

Best: SMG. It had a magical feel to it, while still being familiar at the same time (like you've been there before in your dreams..)

Worst: SMS. It sounded nice the first time you played through the game, but then you noticed that it doesn't change at all, so it just becomes annoying (even moreso when riding Yoshi). I also don't care for the one from PiT. It was a decent remix, but like SMS, after a while you notice that it is just there..

Nominee: original SMB level

BEST: SMG. I liked how it changed depending on how many grand stars you had.

WORST: SM64. I don't really dislike it; for lack of a worse option.

If "hub/HUB" refers to the in-between area where you spend most of your time between objectives (i.e. Toad Town (PM), inside Princess Peach's Castle (SM64)),

BEST: Super Paper Mario. I dig the Flipside music, even if it, like SM64's castle music, gets overplayed in other remixes. (If this doesn't count, SM64)
WORST: Galaxy. Not sure really, some of the music in that game just doesn't fit the Mario mood...

SushieBoy · « **Reply #13 on:** September 29, 2008, 04:05:03 PM »

Best: PM:TTYD. I don't know why I like it but I do.

Worst: SMS. I'm not calling it bad, just not as good as the others.

Best: Super Mario Galaxy hands down. That observatory music was a nice orchestra piece and created a great mood.

TTYD gets an honorable mention as well for again, fitting the mood of the place exactly. Rogueport's a grand town, but has sinister and slimy characters all over the place, and the music just captured this perfectly.

Worst: Partners in Time. It's been said already...
