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"...
*Fixes votes*
-
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...
-
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...

I agree, PiT was just a cheap remix of the SM64 theme.
-
Except that was the idea. It's Peach's Castle, after all.

BEST: Super Mario Sunshine
WORST: Paper Mario
The music in the paper mario games is real cheap. But SMS has such refreshing music. It makes you want to visit the sun drenched paradise of Isle Delfino!
-

Define "cheap"
Also, If I haven't already, I vote for best original SMB level.
-
The orchestration is thin and the samples are grating to the ear. Maybe that's what he meant.
-
That gives it a cartoony feel. So just because it's not orchestrated with a huge team of musicians that means it isn't good?
-
It should be obvious that that's not what I mean by "orchestration", since most games don't have orchestral music. But if it isn't, I mean that the chords aren't voiced in a way satisfactory to my ear, and the choice of timbres doesn't always fit together well. Some of the melodies are catchy but I find a lot of them dull due to the lackluster arrangement.
-
Define "cheap"
Cheap music is that video game music/lame techno music. The chiptunes in the gameboy color games were cheap. The music in Super Paper Mario is cheap. Most handheld game's music is cheap. Take Banjo Kazooie and Tooie for example, they have some real nice music for a video game! Also Super Mario Galaxy has some high quality tunes. BK and BT music is the best music in a video game that I have ever heard.
-
You haven't listened to much, then.
Also, it makes no difference what hardware the music is made with. How that hardware is used, however, does.
-
You haven't listened to much, then.
I have listened to alot. I've been playing video games much longer than you think my friend. I know what crap music is and good music is.
-
The orchestration is thin
Hey, thin characters, thin music. But I like PM's music, personally.

I have to agree that SPM's music is 75-100% lame. Paper Mario + Paper Mario 2 had awesome music, though.
-
Actually, I liked SPM's music too (and you don't necessarily have to quote me if I'm right above).
-
Yes. You do. He might edit that post in two months.
