I didn't see this so... What's your favorite Mario game soundtrack? Mine is Yoshi's Story. It has some kind of exciting festiveness to it.
-
Galaxy, hands down. I could listen to the Gusty Garden Theme all day.

Oh please, Purple Coins was much better than Gusty Garden.
-
All of Galaxy's music is better than all of Galaxy's music.
Anyway, Galaxy, for most (Me too), is most likely going to be picked. I mean, come on! First time orchestrated music for a Mario game, and they nailed it!
-
I think Galaxy's pretty much the hands-down winner (it gets my vote too). Let's leave second favorite soundtracks open for discussion as well, because mine would be Super Paper Mario. It has lots of great music that fits the level themes perfectly, and it's the first time I've heard actual recurring themes for particular characters, bar Grodus (that was in a much more minor way anyway). The different remixes of Count Bleck's theme were great.
About Galaxy itself, I like...
-Good Egg (very fitting and epic for a "mission" air)
-The ghost theme (nice and creepy, would also fit something else like a post-apocalyptic ice area)
-Gusty Garden (what everyone else said; very generous and epic. I'm not sure what I mean by generous, but that word came to mind)
-Melty Molten (intense, firey, and catchy)
These are just my particular favorites; I love almost all of the tracks, including some like the ice/fire theme, Dusty Dune, and Purple Coins.

Don't forget Toy Time Galaxy, Gateway Galaxy, Space Junk Galaxy, That remix of the SMB3 athletic theme,
Bowser Stage, Metal Bowser and a bunch more I forget, oh and, the best is Super Mario Galaxy (no contest)
-
All of Galaxy's music is better than all of Galaxy's music.
Also your contradictions are better then your contradictions.
Galaxy is good.
-
I'd like to give honorable mentions to Paper Mario: TTYD and Super Mario Sunshine.
-
SMS was okay... but every level was more or less the same song.
Galaxy's, of course, rocks hard by default. I must give props to the Mario RPGs, though, especially M&L2 and TTYD.
-
Ah yes1 how could I forget about PM2? That I have as a close second.
-

Welcome to the land of opinions! Everyone has one, and sometimes they may be one that you disagree with.
There are a lot of Mario games that I think have good soundtracks, and here they are in no particular order..
Mario 64 (the Secret Slide, Lethal Lava Land, and the ending theme)
Yoshi's Island (quiet nearly all of the tracks)
Mario RPG (Bandit's Way sticks out in my mind always..)
New SMB (The Towers, Castles, and some of the general level music is great)
Those are just some of the soundtracks that I really enjoy, along with the one game I am sure is on everyone's list: Super Mario Galaxy

That was not an opinion, it's a proven fact.
-
I read this thread title as "Favorite Mario Sound Effect".
-

Proof?
-
Most games I've played each have their own combination of great songs and then just other songs that are fine but aren't amazing. For example, I liked a lot of music in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, but some of the songs weren't amazing. I really just liked the Map theme, Oho Oasis, and the general World Theme. Same with Super Mario 64: I liked the Dire Dire Docks theme, and Hazy Maze Cave Theme, etc, but I didn't much care for the Snowman's Land level music. It was fine, just not spectacular.
-
Super Mario Sunshine for me! It has such a.....*takes a huge breath of air* AHHHHHHHHHH, feeling to it.
-
Oh please, Purple Coins was much better than Gusty Garden.
Again, that was your opinion.
Just because somebody doesn't like a piece of music that you do like doesn't mean they are wrong. They may have different tastes in music. Your opinion on the Purple Coins track is obviously much higher than TurtleKid1's. I do agree that the Purple Coins music is good, but I am not going to go and say that any one track is better than another. That would just be my opinion.
-

Huh, that's what I thought it was at first too when I only saw "Favorite Mario Sound..." in the forum index. :P

Are you sure he wasn't sarcastic?
-
Galaxy for me as well. Basically all of it is awesome, and the Battlerock music and the remix of the Airship theme have to be two of my favorite mario tunes ever.
Second favorite would be the first Paper Mario, which had some of the best background music ever in an RPG, IMO.
-
doo doo doo do doo doo do
-
Super Mario Sunshine has such a AHHHHHHHHHH feeling to it.
I agree. AAAAHHHH!!!!
-
I agree. AAAAHHHH!!!!
QFT, SMS had a decent to good sountrack.
Also, YIDS was not bad at all compared to YI, but YI was probably better.
-
I was actually making a spiteful comment towards the game about how much I dislike it. I'll agree that Sunshine's soundtrack was mostly relaxing, but that's not necessarily a good thing--it can be utterly unmotivating.
-
Ricco Harbor wasn't, but after a while it got annoying.
-
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.
-
Most of the enemy redesigns didn't bother me much (King Boo in SMS > King Boo in every spinoff he appears in), but I absolutely cannot stand those godforsaken Cataquacks. My least favorite enemy drones in Mario history.
-

If you listen closely you'll realize that it's a remix of the SMS theme and you'll also realize how dang close it is and how stupid you are for not realizing it.
-
He was saying that it wasn't relaxing in response to my post.
-

What do you mean? You mean that some songs sounded too alike? (Purple Coins, Gusty Garden, credits)
-
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.
-
or SMW...

Holy crackers, I was about to post that!

Sorry, I misread that.

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.
-
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.
-
(NSMB's theme being a remix of SMW's credits was kind of a turn-off, though).
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.
-
Well, it was an older game. Remixes are easier these days.
-
Hmm, toughy. I would go with, uh... SMG music, all of them.
-
This is sick!

Seemed healthy to me...
-
I have to say my favorite is SMG. The orchestrated pieces give an epic feel to the environment.
-
If you're going for the most epic song, nothing beats the final battle with Elder Princess Shroob. A real shame an official soundtrack wasn't released.
But for over all best soundtrack, SMRPG is king.
Don't inform me that the first example was composed by the same person that composed the second. I already know.

Yeah, I've seen guys do that before... wow.
-
Now this game didn't have the greatest soundtrack, but It did have one song that stood out above the others. And that is Mushroom Gorge from Mario Kart Wii. It has to be my favorite song from any Mario Kart game. Here just listen to it!!

Yeah...
-
Moo Moo Meadows also has that odd Celtic Mayan vibe.
-
For some reason, it reminds me of Diddy Kong Racing (which, in my opinion, had great music).
-
That makes me think: does MKW have a spot in the options where you can turn the music up and down? I'm not asking for SSB-like options, but I have a hard time hearing the music when my character is constantly being blown away by items.
-

That one was good too. But a bit too short.

Nope, infact the options themselves are very limited.
-
Another track with awesome music is Maple Treeway.
-
Yeah... it kind of reminds me of some WarioWare tune for some reason.
-

Ah yes, that one was good too.
