It’s more likely Jolly Roger bay was added after as a kind of lead up to the water mechanics in Dire Dire Docks, and was added after. And since 64 games are infamous for using the same music to save space, that’s probably why

All of a sudden a flash from 1996 comes into memory. Your 11th birthday...
A big thanks to the Nintendo music production team and Mr. Koji Kondo himself for shaping our childhood and for broadening our deepest imagination with your beautiful music.
I mostly thank to composer made the music, but yeah Nintendo did made the game just they need understand something about old games music have than right now. What I can know I love most was Rareware if they made Super Mario game
You gotta thank Yoko Shimomura, she helped shape our childhoods A LOT. I can't remember a lot, but the an of video game music she has composed is insane, and the music is so good, too. Some games she composed music for are Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Mario, Super Smash Bros, and so many more I can't even name
As I write this, NintendoofAmerica just posted on their Twitter that Charles Martinet is officially done as Mario's voice actor. His voice will forever be remembered as THE Mario voice. A Legend.
Last night I was playing on my piano and messing around with all the little effects it has on it. I accidentally played like the first 3 notes of the melody and I was like “Wait… do I know how to play thi-?”then continue the melody and found the chords after “OH SHIT, I’m playing it!” I never learned it formally and it’s crazy how I was able to pick it up because it was so engrained in me. I believe the music of these games back in the day really planted the seeds for music lovers and musicians. They made us fall in love with melody and harmonies!
i bought the official mario piano sheet music book from the nyc nintendo store and this was the first song i learned on it. out of all of the songs i've played in 6 or so years, this one is the only one that just stuck in my head and i can still play.
Rhythms: :( In all seriousness this song is really fun to play. Also, if you're looking for some more interesting music, try Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Triumvirat. Tarkus was one of the inspirations for one of the Final Fantasy games. The albums Tarkus and Brain Salad Surgery are where I notice a lot of material that is used decades later in games. Rock, jazz, and classical are like the three cornerstones of video game music. If you're knowledgeable of this kinda stuff, prog has the same characteristics, which is why it draws so many parallels to video game music.
I love this because I was doing pretty much the same thing just fooling around at the keyboard, fiddled around and figured out some of the chords and I was just going away lol. I love the song so much
Who else gets goosebumps when this comes on, gosh I get flooded with childhood memories of sitting on the floor playing Nintendo 64, super Mario 64, goldeneye, and Zelda Oot, the simplicity of childhood is very sacred and beautiful, enjoy it while you can because once it’s over it’s gone for good. I’m so glad I grew up in this time period, one of the best games ever ! Thank you for uploading this.
I play this whenever I feel like I need to rediscover myself. It really does wonders!!! Never forget who you are guys; it's the key to helping you out on your future.
This song still hits me pretty good to this day. My daughter plays this game on Switch now, and I can't be in the room when this music plays because she'll see my eyes welling up 😅🥲
I just heard the band at my school practicing this. Despite never playing Super Mario 64, I literally had nostalgia and goosebumps from it. That's how good it is.
Have you ever noticed how the Super Mario logo has kept the same general design since 64, but it's a lot less wonky? 64s logo is rough and oddly shaped, but with each release its gotten slightly more uniform.
I have a special connection with the SM64 soundtrack because my little cousin who was an only child so he never learned how to share when we were younger would play this game all the time and I’d just watch
Man the late 90s/early 00s really had the best video game tracks. Nearly all of them have this distinct style to them that separates them from modern soundtracks
I was born in 2005, didnt play mario or any game until i was around 8, but this songs feels so nostalgic, and gives me real goosebumps, and some comfortable sadness I wish there was a time machine so I could go back in time and enjoy those magical years
If this was your first game it of course feels nostalgic for you because you discovered your passion (i assume gaming is one of your passions) with this game...
The more I hear these classic songs from my childhood in the 90's the more I start to miss my older brother who passed away last year. So many memories playing Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64. Days gone by that will never comeback. Nostalgia hits different with this amazing song now.
Super Mario 64 DS was my childhood. I remember back when I was younger I would be sitting on the couch exploring Jolly Roger Bay with my baby brother watching me play it. Super Mario 64 has the greatest original soundtrack of All Time.

I imagine this song playing while you are relaxing underwater on a seabed, not very deep, not very high, around 6.00 AM. The sun's rays hit the water, which creates some light in the still partly dark sea. You are in the right spot, in the middle of this transition. While you relax, you see that on one side you can see the seabed with many corals in the distance and lots of tropical and non-tropical fish, and on the other you can see the seashore and the beach. There are many fishes swimming beside you. And you are relaxing enjoying the moment and reflecting on your whole life. This song makes you relax so much that you fall asleep at one point. This song is literally the representation of a relaxing and funny summer. I hope I can have a vibe like that in real life instead of writing it this summer.
It's weird but there are time when I get severe anxiety at night! I put this song on and it naturally calms me! Crazy how such a trivial song can have such a widespread effect on people...
Whenever I listen to this it takes me back to simpler times. Before Covid before social media, before 9/11. Everything was just perfect the way it was. Man I miss my childhood.
Listening to this makes me miss the days of when N64 was popular. Technology didn't have a strong presence in our social lives and we wanted to hang out in person and do random stuff.
For years I never understood why this song was so highly-regarded as an all-time great vgm track. It felt so... empty. Last year, I felt a little blue and a remix (Qumu) of Dire Dire Docks happened to come on. I leaned back and just soaked it in, and everything just clicked. I finally got it. This is one of the best video game songs of all time.
This song brings back so many good, warm childhood memories. The excitement of playing Super Mario 64, having a loving family with me, and enjoying the time with friends who also enjoyed this game. Thank you to the creators, I truly feel warm and happy listening to this music!
this song is the reason i want to own a convenience store when i get older. just so i can play music like this secretly. it fits the setting while still being hilarious
Got the 64 for Christmas. Dark and snowy outside. Fire going in the chimney. Exploring this game in my pajamas. Not a care in the world. Miss you Dire Dire Docks!
Lyrics from man on the internet: We are the sum of our reflections in the water All we can be Beneath the light we see the shapes of all our best lives In the dreaming So join with us today We’ll sit along the bay And share the dreams together Life cannot be loved without play And you will find your beauty shines back from the water Just to make your day Beneath the light you’ll see what your best life can offer If you find your dreams Medicas adhibere aquam x3 Take this balm Lie still and calm No one shall harm your dreams We are the sum of our reflections in the water All we can be Beneath the light we see the shapes of all our best lives In the dreaming So join with us today (Medicas adhibere aquam x4) We,ll sit along the bay And share the dreams together Life cannot be loved without play And you will find your beauty smile back from the water (Take this balm) Just to make your day (Lie still and calm) Beneath the light you’ll see what your best life can offer (No one) If you find your dreams (Shall harm) Your dreams (Your dreams) (End)
This game really was something special. I remember going in to my local Blockbuster when they had the game systems out. Seeing this game blew my mind! The graphics were just so cool! I was like this looks too real to be a video game! Simpler times back then. Oh how I miss them.
I always find it funny how this theme is often referred to as Dire Dire Docks' theme, and yet 9 times out of 10, most people will first hear this song when they enter the Jolly Roger Bay for the first time.
Everything about this track hits different. The vibe was outside of what we'd heard before we got to Dire Dire Docks. The chord progression is so fluid and relaxing, it SOUNDS like being beneath the waves in an underwater world, and the best part was the transition of the musical elements based on where you were in the stage. The music evolved with your gameplay, as the closer you got to the sunken ship, the more parts played at once. It made you want to explore to hear if there were any other versions of the song that you just hadn't heard yet. More games do this kind of thing now, but I would argue this was a first for many. Still one of the best pieces of music in video games, period.
In the actual game, after the first loop the song will change between lacking the percussion and having it when you go in and out of the water. It adds a lot to the atmosphere as you swap from swimming and platforming. Much of the brilliance with Super Mario 64 is in small nuances like this.
Don't worry, because it's also tough for me, for my cat Hanzel, had passed away back in the start of last year for an unkown reason and I loved him super much, but now It's felt diffrent without him.
This song reminds me of my time working at Toys R Us in Surrey, BC back in the 90s. This song would play on the N64 display kiosk and when the store was slow or quiet this would resonate in the electronic dept. It was soothing.
daily meditation everyone, check in. just used this to meditate and be mindful/grateful of my life, and realized the extreme stressors aren't so extreme. trying to do this every morning (or evening, your preference)
Very wise application of this song. I used this a lot during my difficult times in med school, and it helped me get to where I am today. Only problem was that I stopped using it during these even harder times. Thank you for the advice on how I can use this music to help me on a daily basis.
I dont know how but this tune always makes me feel so at peace with myself, more than any other track ive ever seen, i guess the memories of a song matter more than the song itself
During covid my son was 6. We couldn't go much of anywhere, and he had trouble sleeping, inwent on CZcams and found this track from my childhood. It always soothed me and so it soothed him Just now, we are building some Legos, he is 10, and I put this on, and he lit up. We both forgot about this. It made our day ❤ God bless.
Bro so many memories I remember when I would play Mario 64 I would go to the water picture then I would just sit and listen to this music 😢😢😢 #mario64 #90skids

@@BrootherHeck Are the sound files (or just files in general) even labelled on the N64?

The sun's rays hit the water, which creates some light in the still partly dark sea. You are in the right spot, in the middle of this transition. While you relax, you see that on one side you can see the seabed with many corals in the distance and lots of tropical and non-tropical fish, and on the other you can see the seashore and the beach. There are many fishes swimming beside you. And you are relaxing enjoying the moment and reflecting on your whole life. This song makes you relax so much that you fall asleep at one point.

Whenever I listen to this it takes me back to simpler times. Before Covid before social media, before 9/11. Everything was just perfect the way it was. Man I miss my childhood.
It may be in the past. But it’ll never be forgotten as long as you keep it with you in your heart and your memories.
When you're stressed out, this is the song for you.
this makes me cry of nostalgia, i remember when sm64 introduced me to gaming, this game will forever capture my heart forever ❤
Listening to this makes me miss the days of when N64 was popular. Technology didn't have a strong presence in our social lives and we wanted to hang out in person and do random stuff.
This is one of the most wholesome comment sections on youtube and I'm here for it.
For years I never understood why this song was so highly-regarded as an all-time great vgm track. It felt so... empty. Last year, I felt a little blue and a remix (Qumu) of Dire Dire Docks happened to come on. I leaned back and just soaked it in, and everything just clicked. I finally got it.
This is one of the best video game songs of all time.
I want to sit on a dock at night with no one around and listen to this.
Same dude
Same🖤
This song brings back so many good, warm childhood memories. The excitement of playing Super Mario 64, having a loving family with me, and enjoying the time with friends who also enjoyed this game. Thank you to the creators, I truly feel warm and happy listening to this music!
That part with the added beats really hit different tho
This song makes me feel emotions never invented.
this song is the reason i want to own a convenience store when i get older. just so i can play music like this secretly. it fits the setting while still being hilarious
I've been using this song to fall asleep to for literal years now
Sounds like a warm loving track from a family sitcom from the 80s.
I hope Michael McDonald sings lead.
Right? And then the part at 0:42 reminds me of the opening of a ballad song from the late 1980s/early 1990s
Man I used to play this game on my ds in kindergarten, man this + reading rainbow hits so hard
I love how the beat just eases into the music
Got the 64 for Christmas. Dark and snowy outside. Fire going in the chimney. Exploring this game in my pajamas. Not a care in the world. Miss you Dire Dire Docks!

Lyrics from man on the internet:
We are the sum of our reflections in the water
All we can be
Beneath the light we see the shapes of all our best lives
In the dreaming
So join with us today
We’ll sit along the bay
And share the dreams together
Life cannot be loved without play
And you will find your beauty shines back from the water
Just to make your day
Beneath the light you’ll see what your best life can offer
If you find your dreams
Medicas adhibere aquam x3
Take this balm
Lie still and calm
No one shall harm your dreams
We are the sum of our reflections in the water
All we can be
Beneath the light we see the shapes of all our best lives
In the dreaming
So join with us today
(Medicas adhibere aquam x4)
We,ll sit along the bay
And share the dreams together
Life cannot be loved without play
And you will find your beauty smile back from the water
(Take this balm)
Just to make your day
(Lie still and calm)
Beneath the light you’ll see what your best life can offer
(No one)
If you find your dreams
(Shall harm)
Your dreams
(Your dreams)
(End)
WOW A WHOLE PARAGRAPH BUT ZERO LIKES LETS FIX THAT
Bth u got new sub
@@sgtmug624 thanks!
Sang along and it fits so well! These should be the official lyrics for it
@@cozybug5109 agreed.
This game really was something special. I remember going in to my local Blockbuster when they had the game systems out. Seeing this game blew my mind! The graphics were just so cool! I was like this looks too real to be a video game! Simpler times back then. Oh how I miss them.
This is my lullaby no matter how old I get.
I remember the 90s like it was yesterday opening up the n64 and playing Mario 64 this music hits different flash to the past ❤
10 years ago. 2012, UK. Little me was sat there on the couch, with my DS, playing SM64DS. Those were the days.
This nostalgic music hits me off the charts im not kidding, when I was a kid i loves this level.
Yahoo is the most nostalgic yell ever.
I always find it funny how this theme is often referred to as Dire Dire Docks' theme, and yet 9 times out of 10, most people will first hear this song when they enter the Jolly Roger Bay for the first time.
@@kadupse i heard it first in the secret room in the castle lol
these comments are so heartwarming to read, i wish i was there in that time with you guys.
😢😢😢 thank you for the childhood memories
Everything about this track hits different. The vibe was outside of what we'd heard before we got to Dire Dire Docks. The chord progression is so fluid and relaxing, it SOUNDS like being beneath the waves in an underwater world, and the best part was the transition of the musical elements based on where you were in the stage. The music evolved with your gameplay, as the closer you got to the sunken ship, the more parts played at once. It made you want to explore to hear if there were any other versions of the song that you just hadn't heard yet. More games do this kind of thing now, but I would argue this was a first for many. Still one of the best pieces of music in video games, period.
This melody is so nostalgic. Mario 64 will always be in our hearts with happiness. Gret game! 👌
Beautiful and comforting!
Much better than that titanic song
the power of mixolydian
@@jfiffl7 fact
In the actual game, after the first loop the song will change between lacking the percussion and having it when you go in and out of the water. It adds a lot to the atmosphere as you swap from swimming and platforming. Much of the brilliance with Super Mario 64 is in small nuances like this.
Dude this music is still freakin epic even in 2024!
One of the best tracksof videogames, its just ART
This song would help me relax after a long day at school
Holy cow, I can’t believe the guy actually recorded the song and held his breath underwater for 30 minutes!!!
I love listening to this theme while looking at under the ocean footage it's so peaceful
Music from this game reminds me of my dad since he bought it for me. Love you, dad. RIP.
RIP your dad 🙏🙏🙏
RIP
(i will strangle anyone who says "fatherless")
Rip 😢🙏 😿it must be difficult and tough for you right now.
Don't worry, because it's also tough for me, for my cat Hanzel, had passed away back in the start of last year for an unkown reason and I loved him super much, but now It's felt diffrent without him.
Rip sorry for you😢
This song reminds me of my time working at Toys R Us in Surrey, BC back in the 90s. This song would play on the N64 display kiosk and when the store was slow or quiet this would resonate in the electronic dept. It was soothing.
Why is music in water levels alwaya so damn emotional.
daily meditation everyone, check in. just used this to meditate and be mindful/grateful of my life, and realized the extreme stressors aren't so extreme. trying to do this every morning (or evening, your preference)
Very wise application of this song. I used this a lot during my difficult times in med school, and it helped me get to where I am today. Only problem was that I stopped using it during these even harder times. Thank you for the advice on how I can use this music to help me on a daily basis.
That music is so relaxing. 😌
Sure is
@@georgiecarapella3274 Makes you want to pee, doesn't it?
@@georgiecarapella3274 Comfortable, relaxing sound causes comfortable, relaxing sensations.
relaxing music on one of the scarier levels.
wasn’t alive when the game came out so i never got to experience this where it belongs but this song is amazing regardless
Nostalgia
Childhood memories 😢😢💔
Listening to this song was worth taking the risk of getting caught with the ds at bed time
Yes honestly😂🥲
🤣
Koji Kondo is truly a musical genius. This game's OST and Mario Kart are unforgettable.
I dont know how but this tune always makes me feel so at peace with myself, more than any other track ive ever seen, i guess the memories of a song matter more than the song itself
During covid my son was 6. We couldn't go much of anywhere, and he had trouble sleeping, inwent on CZcams and found this track from my childhood. It always soothed me and so it soothed him
Just now, we are building some Legos, he is 10, and I put this on, and he lit up. We both forgot about this. It made our day ❤ God bless.
The best music for rest and relaxation time. Theraputic IMO!
Now I Can Drown in Peace ✌️
Just use the oxygen in water to breathe. Easy.
legit one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed in the history of humanity. i'm crying manly tears
This feels like music I would hear in a dream . This game came out long before me but it still invokes nostalgia
wha the hell? my dreams don't have music
@@mr.someone5679 same but it's like the same vibe as being lost in a dream
Exactly nostalgia
A beautiful song that brings me back to my younger years. Even though I was not born in the 1990's or 80s.
12 years ago was fun
Bro so many memories I remember when I would play Mario 64 I would go to the water picture then I would just sit and listen to this music 😢😢😢 #mario64 #90skids
I’m going to throw my speaker into the public pool and blast this
This song is very hydrating
Words cannot explain how nostalgic, ocean-y, and hopeful this makes you feel

I hated the part where you have to explore the shipwreck of Jolly Roger Bay in a submarine before it implodes
I don’t get if
@@kylebroflovski9690 they are making fun of the people who lost their lives in the OceanGate accident
that was 7 months ago? dang...
I am a grown man, still vibing to this at work. Funny, the things that stay with you from childhood.
Not me listening to this while at work to prevent a breakdown~
Oh to be a kid again.
It would appear that you and I are having a similar day. Stay strong, bro 💪🏾
