Only sheet music I used was Underwater Theme. Someone posted it on these forums a while back. It was the exact notes played in the game.
Half the others I figured out on my own and the other half I asked my piano teacher about some of the chord progressions and technical mumbo-jumbo like that and then whipped them up from there.
The very, very sad part is that I can now play a Mario music show about 300% better than that one. Added features include a full original opening, composed by me, that incorporates various themes of the show drifting in and out, a *vastly* improved ending, mostly composed by me, that after the Mario 2 Overworld Theme bursts into a classic showtune style slowdown finale (the kind of part where millions of showgirls run out and do high kicks in a line-you know the type) followed by a pulse-accelerating grand chorus of the SMB Flagpole Victory Theme, with a fantastic pause before the final C chord, upon which I hit it, do a fortepiano crescendo and end with the classical "bum-bum-bum-bum." The actual song portion now also includes the SMB3 World 1 Map Theme, the SMB3 Overworld 2 Theme, and the Yoshi's Story Theme.
Wow! I also play the bass guitar(jazz only, so far-school Jazz Band) and accordion! [Editor's Note: Lizard Dude did not realize he wrote that in the first post. Thank you.] I also play Euphonium (three year All-State) and Trombone. My grandpa is also giving me a handcrafted violin made by his niece very soon for a late graduation gift. Apparently, it's top quality, so I expect I'll know some violin soon.
Thanks for watching, and have a nice day!
P.S. My accordion Zelda Theme r0x0rZ the 40uZ30rZ!
