Mario movie is better than this mediocrity

21:53 Unrelated to Mother but I believe this was sampled in Mario Paint!

Wario Worio Weerio Weario Woorio

Wow if you've never heard Headhunters before that must have been a treat.

This style of sound may have died out but antonblast is reviving it

Isn't the "hello there" also from Pizza Tower

It's a sin this isn't on NSO yet. An absolute classic GBA game. One of the best on the system

the ending theme kinda reminds me of George Harrison's Dream Away, itself a credits song for Time Bandits

Never thought id watch an entire hour long video about warioland 4. Never even played this Game and you just made me want to play it. Ps: What visualiser are you using in those music comparing scènes it looks so amazing

I'd also recommend "Keeping the Dream Alive" from the album "Fantasy" by the band Muchener Freiheit. The band is German and obscure to the US. Their Spotify albums have almost no streams, which is crazy. The whole Fantasy album has layered Queen-esque harmonies, but "Keeping the Dream" is the most orchestral.

You have to add "God Killed Rock and Roll", "Something About Maggie", and "Sad Clown" (by Panic! at the Disco) to your playlist. All these songs have bombastic operatic vocals, May-esque guitar, and harpsichord. And it was deliberately derivative too, which I think is awesome. The final Panic! album (Viva Las Vengeance) was sort of an homage to Queen, the frontman Brendon Urie has a tattoo Freddy Mercury, and his cover of Bohemian Rhapsody for Suicide Squad has 100 million streams.

I had a VHS copy of this movie as a kid and I would watch it everyday.

this video is easier to digest when you fast forward every interjection

Oh another one! The theme for the runaway five reminds me of The Changeling by The Doors ! The lyrics kinda fit too

11:40 don't want to be mean to you but the first example is tritone movement with major chords, not ascending tritones

man this is like an acid trip in an acid trip

wario land 4's music was made to appeal to Americans and refrenced American culutre as inspiration and target.

27:06 what's the song that's playing here?

Tyler The Creator was famously a big fan of wario so I guess the samples make sense.

33:06 the "hello there" was also featured in pizza tower, which wario land was a big influence for them so i kinda understand why.

7:53 holy shit that's Mae McDougal

You know the video is good when I need to keep Spotify open in the other tab.

i love meteos for the ds sound design

I don’t think that’s how you pronounce Silva gunner

You should really talk about virtual boy Wario land. I played it on original hardware recently and I have to say it’s a bloody awesome game.

waro very cool i like him

ooooh so thats why i failed to find any jellyfish songs besides like one album and im not just stupid

amazing videooooo, so excited to listen to all of these album. writing and editing were so great in this too. thank you for the great video!!!

Ghostbusters music reminds me of Mario Haunted House music. That haunting synth droning mixed with the juantiness of the horns makes that “spooky comedy” dichotomy. I think Mario has that same vibe. In fact I think the Haunted Mansion does the same sort of thing. Spooky yet silly.

very nice video homie

I was wondering why I got a bunch of Bandcamp activity out of nowhere in January. <3 Thanks for the love at the end. It was super entertaining going through the video and checking out the musical influences.

0:05 that plushie tho

This was an incredibly detailed (in my opinion) dive into this topic. Thanks for the great video!

Yet another reminder I am permabanned from VGM Resources Discord

Wario is the strangest hyper fixation I’ve ever had but I love it

what is that music software? shit looks awesome

47:54 There is a TMBG song with that subject called "I Cant Remember The Dream" although its not quite as subtle or metaphorical (as you can probably tell by the title). Also I love that you showed footage from the music video for Neunundneunzig Luftballons when talking about translating song lyrics (the German version is superior).

I'm not sure if they're exactly the same as the kind of story you describe in this video, but I recommend checking out the manga works of Taiyo Matsumoto, I think you'd like them.

That elevator pitch sold me ill be back after 95 minutes
