Note that I was referring to Super Mario Sunshine, not Super Mario Galaxy.
It uses one theme for nearly all the normal level BGMs in the game, much like SM64.

Sorry, I misread that.

I never had a problem with SMS's soundtrack. I liked the choice of instruments. It suffered extensively from single-theme syndrome though. Super Mario 64 did too, but the different versions of the single piece of music in the game were more cleverly done.
As for SMS itself, I enjoyed it. Aside from the utterly stupid Boo redesigns.
QFT completely (in addition to the SMW reference). That sort of thing really bugs me. I mean, hey, I know it's not fair to expect Koji Kondo, or whoever, to make up tons of new songs for every game, but hearing the same tune remixed in every level makes it seem... I don't know, small, or cheap, or something. It's not a game-ruining thing, but I'm obsessive like that (NSMB's theme being a remix of SMW's credits was kind of a turn-off, though).

I didn't mind it in Super Mario 64. And I didn't mind it a whole lot in SMS; it was just way more obvious.
That was a joke.

I didn't make the connection with SM64's music until about half a year ago. Probably Chupperson pointing it out. I only didn't make the connection between Bianco Hills music and the rest of the game's theme until about a week playing it.

The less obvious it is, the better. SM64 and B-K probably did it best.

Woah...I didn't notice that till now. Well, it's not really that much of a carbon copy...

I may be the only one who thinks this, but even though SMS uses the same theme over and over, I still notice how incredibly different they are despite that.

Super Mario Sunshine is my second favorite Mario soundtrack with Book in the Bottle being my favorite song.

I believe that Super Mario World's remixes are much more obvious to point out than Super Mario Sunshine's.
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

Well, it was an older game. Remixes are easier these days.

Hmm, toughy. I would go with, uh... SMG music, all of them.

I have to say my favorite is SMG.  The orchestrated pieces give an epic feel to the environment.
