Author Topic: Mario Theme Video Catalog  (Read 27151 times)

« on: July 09, 2009, 01:31:57 PM »
Has anyone ever attempted to caputre every instance of the SMB overworld theme on video? Do we know of every instance??

I am going to make such an attempt. Thing is, I don't know every instance. Do we have a list that has the games that the SMB theme is in? I know some games have more than one instance (Mario Party 5, for example, has five instances) and some Mario games don't have it at all (Mario Kart 64).

Every (Mario) game that has it or literally every time the song has been played in history?

Let's start out with every Mario game that has it. This can include the first 5 or 6 notes (like in Mario Paint) or a character singing it (Mario in the shower in Mario RPG and Superstar Saga)

Well then, before we start compiling videos we'll have to have a list.  It will probably be best to organize it by system.  I can maintain the list, we'll just keep adding to it as we go, so post any game that it appears in that I'm blatantly leaving out.

It's hidden as an easter egg in Super Mario World's Special World. The theme is also in every Paper Mario title to date, not to mention Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.

I don't think SMBDX counts. I'd forgotten about it being in SMW...

And, like Toad said, it is indeed in Mario Paint, and M&L: SS.  It's also in Super Mario Sunshine and Galaxy, SM Advance and SMA4 (if those count).
If she is indeed genetically mutated such that she has an eye in the back of her head, then I guess that she is genetically mutated and has an eye in the back of her head.

If SMBDX doesn't quality, logic dictates that the SMA series shouldn't, either. Just sayin'.

I was also thinking we could video the number of times the theme is in a game, if it's in multiple times (such as all five of Mario Party 5's instances: 3 in the Popstar Pirahnas minigame, 1 in the chance time! spaces [or equivalent], 1 in the ending credits)

Remakes only count if there is a new verison of the song. Mario All*stars game selection and SMBdx's title screen qualify for being new remixes or having snippets of the theme.

Heh.. I kinda meant just any/all that occur in the games.

What are you gonna do about Wii Music?

Wii Music will come another time, if at all. Right now we're just getting Mario games that have the Mario theme.

I haven't played Wii Music myself, so I don't really know..

Updated.  Also, I'm checking on the ones you asked to be checked, Toad
If we're doing only Mario games, should I take Viewtiful Joe off of there?  It was put on as a suggestion from #tmk

« Reply #13 on: July 10, 2009, 02:01:44 PM »
Yeah, take Viewtiful Joe off, but keep it somewhere we can bring it up again. Right now we're just doing Mario games, but another time, we'll do all games that have the SMB theme.

Thanks for the help!
