I've been playing this game for 31 years and it was only as an adult that I realized the Title Screen song was basically a rearranging of the Super Mario Bros. water level theme.
I definitely would not have used that many horns for this soundtrack. The honky-tonk piano is definitely right, though. I may be partially biased from Super Mario All-Stars, but just from genre alone, I'd have limited the use of horns.
My major issue was the mixing. Some tracks had the main melody almost completely inaudible while the harmony was way too loud. Really easy problem to fix but it ruined the tracks it cropped up in.

Wow I really like the ending theme instrumentation. Triumphant horns into the dreamy glockenspiel, really excellent choices for the vibe of the original.
If you listen to the Mega Man Wily Wars OST, it would give somewhat an idea, since the Genesis does use some sort of synth soundfont (I think the soundchip was a Yamaha...?).
Some of the Japanese commercials featured arranged versions of the music themes, of course using synthezisers of the time. I remember khinsider having official arranged versions albums.
This is AMAZING! PRECIOUS! Everything i once thought about is here! The Honky Tonk on Title theme, the trumpets, even the violin on Character Select! (Believe me, that one was oddly specific) This is magical, and a work where you can really tell how much love you put doing this, and that's all Would love to see a Yume Kōjō Doki Doki Panic version of this, specially because of songs like the Credits one
I mean, the character select screen does have the curtains in later versions, and the whole game (SMB2) is based on a dream, so it very well should’ve been.
The super show was based a lot on smb2 and used a ton of the same music and sound effects. They even had a super mario 3 themed super show at one point.
@@AtomicBreadCannon, don't forget the one based on Super Mario World (which was the last Mario cartoon so far), which a lot of people know for its last episode.
I'd love for people to make MSU-1 hacks of, well, any soundtrack I've ever covered. I know Mesen has HD pack which allow you to replace the music, so it's possible with NES games too.
The title theme is borderline perfect, aside from the lack of bass. I have some personal things I'd change if I ever did my own arrangements but holy hell these are amazing.
This is so cool sounding. The only thing more I could’ve wished for were the new songs made for the Super Mario Advance version of the game like Jar and the Opening Theme to have been remastered like this, too. That being said, what’s here is fantastic!
@@fco64 in the original NES versions, yes. It was all similar sounds cause the 2A03 was limited in the amount of sounds it could generate. In the all-stars ports, they *had* room for more samples, and they could have done a better job imo. (I say port, cause a remake would imply a. Entire engine rewrite, which the all-stars ports do not. They more or less port the code directly, cause the processor he SNES uses is similar enough to the NES's 2A03, which is just a 6502 with decimal mode removed.) Still, the all-stars ports are good in their own rights ^^
@@quadpad_music I know that much. It'd still have to be compressed, samples shortened, etc. I meant the _arrangement_ here should have been what the allstars port sounded like.
OMG, this sounds amazing, especially the credits music. Super Mario bros. 2 may be a strange one, but I can safely so you did an amazing job on this remix.
I've been enjoying your stuff appearing in my feeds, the last two-three days... I think it's time I fix that old Subscribe Issue I've been having... Done... I am now Subscribed. Keep up the good work.
I like how the original NES versions of the songs were used as the basis. Not to hate on the SNES versions, but the NES ones have different rhythms/timings and I like them more.
Hit or miss on this one. The original synths of the NES created a better song. It's those shrill leads here I think. Your work on SMB3 is 100% spot on though imo
If Super Mario Bros. 2 was available as a PC title for…any computer with a good sound and instrument system. It sounds similar to LEGO Island’s uncompressed music to me.
Remember when we went to that dream world one day Luigi? uhh... mario? where you high on mushrooms? Luigi, that's not what actually really happened! Seriously tho this is amazing! Reminds me of the super show but this is way way way cleaner and better!
I don't know what it is about old Mario games but the music is so much better and well thought out in each game felt unique. I feel like now Mario music sounds too much of that big band sound I'm kind of the same across each game
Awesome work!!! You even did the _full_ version of the Subspace theme! Normally, the game only plays the first 7 seconds if the tune, but there's an additional 7-8 seconds you can't hear in-game without hacking. Only complaint is that I wish you would've also done the prototype underground theme, which is fairly similar to SMB3's but it increases the tempo after the second loop... for some reason.
You should check my Lost Levels for SC-55 project. The underground arrangement there is a hybrid between the 3/4 SMB1 version and the SMB2 prototype version.
Again, I still think the subspace theme is on steroids with the reverb. It’s a bit too much to the point where I’d honestly prefer the theme without any reverb at all. Other than that, I like the music. 👍
Everyone knows for now this game original osts are yume kōjō doki doki panic osts but nintendo changed sound quality also added last part of musics and this remix is crazy lol
Ok - I’ve seen this box and read all the text thousands of times I’ve the last 30 years, but today stating at it whilst watching this vid made me realise…..it’s not just text….it’s a subtitle. The games full name is: Super Mario Bros 2: Mario Madness 🤔🫤🤯
I've been playing this game for 31 years and it was only as an adult that I realized the Title Screen song was basically a rearranging of the Super Mario Bros. water level theme.
that's crazy! lol thanks for pointing that out
Same with the SMB1 and SMB3 title themes in All-Stars. And the trailer music for Super Mario Sunshine...
@@aquamidi6775The idle demo for Sunshine, not the trailer.
OMG I had no idea until now!
the "music box" theme when you put the wandering hammer brothers to sleep in smb3 is also part of the melody from the first game, main theme.
There's a few instrumentation choices I question here, but the absolute melancholy that overwhelmed me during the Cast Roll earned this a Like!
I definitely would not have used that many horns for this soundtrack. The honky-tonk piano is definitely right, though. I may be partially biased from Super Mario All-Stars, but just from genre alone, I'd have limited the use of horns.

I would've liked a harp playing the initial part underneath the glock (as the two instruments clash slightly) but otherwise it's perfect!
Wow, sounds like a neat, obscure pc release of Mario 2
Yeah, that’s what I think. It’s like Sonic and Knuckles Collection or LEGO Island music (uncompressed)
Now I'm left wondering what the Mega Man OSTs would sound like in this kind of style...

@@nickbritto1511 The genesis soundchip was a synth.
Mega Man Complete Works kinda
@@nickbritto1511 Yamaha-YM2612 (OPN2)
Kinda similar to a YMF262 (OPL3) that had in the computers
the jumpscare after 0:31 set me into a Doki Doki Panic
What jumpscare?
@@reversalmushroom by jumpscare I meant the huge loud change in the music

Would love to see a Yume Kōjō Doki Doki Panic version of this, specially because of songs like the Credits one
Everyone knows SMB3 is a stage play, but this makes me realize that this game as a play with ragtime accompaniment would be even BETTER!
I mean, the character select screen does have the curtains in later versions, and the whole game (SMB2) is based on a dream, so it very well should’ve been.
im sad that smb3 is a stage play
bowser was badass in that game
Mario Super Show sounding music
Better than the Super Show.
The super show was based a lot on smb2 and used a ton of the same music and sound effects. They even had a super mario 3 themed super show at one point.
@@AtomicBreadCannon, don't forget the one based on Super Mario World (which was the last Mario cartoon so far), which a lot of people know for its last episode.
@@PKSuperStar256 oh yeah. I was wondering if I had remembered right or not. Thank you.
@@AtomicBreadCannon, ah, you're very welcome!
i love the honkey-tonk(?) for the piano! it's great!
also love the subspace, boss and wart arrangements!
def honky-tonk
This would be perfect for an MSU-1 soundtrack
I'd love for people to make MSU-1 hacks of, well, any soundtrack I've ever covered. I know Mesen has HD pack which allow you to replace the music, so it's possible with NES games too.
@@aquamidi6775 I'd love to see that, and hopefully the HD pack would live up to the original without making it look tacky
Cant wait for SMB3!
The title theme is borderline perfect, aside from the lack of bass. I have some personal things I'd change if I ever did my own arrangements but holy hell these are amazing.
oh my god I didn’t expect to see you here, small world wtf
This is so cool sounding. The only thing more I could’ve wished for were the new songs made for the Super Mario Advance version of the game like Jar and the Opening Theme to have been remastered like this, too. That being said, what’s here is fantastic!
This is how the Mario Allstars arrangements *should* have sounded! nice work!!
I think this was kinda impossible because all the games were using the same instruments
@@fco64 in the original NES versions, yes. It was all similar sounds cause the 2A03 was limited in the amount of sounds it could generate. In the all-stars ports, they *had* room for more samples, and they could have done a better job imo.

@@squeakyfoxx Then it would be more of a remaster then right?
I don't think this would've been possible. The samples here are just too high quality.
@@quadpad_music I know that much. It'd still have to be compressed, samples shortened, etc.
I meant the _arrangement_ here should have been what the allstars port sounded like.
Dang Subspace is just the right amount of trippy.
This right here is DAMN GOOD.
Excellent choices in which instruments to match to each original sound.
This remaster is a masterpiece. I love SMB2 soundtrack as it is, but I love the remaster even more. Amazing job!
Tge Underground/Cave theme sounds so much better than the one actually in all stars
wart's theme goes hard
OMG, this sounds amazing, especially the credits music. Super Mario bros. 2 may be a strange one, but I can safely so you did an amazing job on this remix.
ironically better than the remastered versions in all stars
this one doesnt fuck up the tempo and slow it down
its just good
Well the originals were by Koji Kondo and the Allstars versions were arranged by Soyo Oka.
why did he feel the need to slow the tempo?@@danerd8978
The Please Select Player Theme Sounds Great
This is so insanely well done and produced I can’t stand it!!! lol. Fantastic work
The trumpet is strong with this one
Not gonna lie, I'd love to see this made into an MSU-1 hack for the All Stars version of this game.
Super show-aah tracks
Okay but seriously great arrangements
amazing, we need a remaster with this.
Love it
This is great stuff well done
the title theme is so good!!!! ❤️🩹

Que hermoso te quedo cada cancion con ese estilo
I can imagine a 3d remake on the N64 when I hear this! Very nice reimagining of the soundtrack.
This is great!! 🎉🎉
This is perfect
4:50 This is such a great remix! I love how you sped it up! Great job altogether too! 🔥
I could imagine the Mario Kart band arranging the soundtrack with this MIDI instrumentation as the basis.
I like how the original NES versions of the songs were used as the basis. Not to hate on the SNES versions, but the NES ones have different rhythms/timings and I like them more.
The Ending music got me all sentimental man.
WOOOOW
This sounds really good
Hit or miss on this one. The original synths of the NES created a better song. It's those shrill leads here I think. Your work on SMB3 is 100% spot on though imo
I love the ending.
If Super Mario Bros. 2 was available as a PC title for…any computer with a good sound and instrument system. It sounds similar to LEGO Island’s uncompressed music to me.
I love the ragtime feel of the overworld music!
The player select feels perfect!
is the blown bottle sample used in the intro the same one used in kirby’s dream land 3 for SNES?
Hell yeah!!
The player select theme made ne think of an old mario kart flash game i used to play called like "mario kart tournament" or someting like that
me and my homies bumpin the player select screen 😎
Title theme really sounds like a Circus or Merry-go-Round.

Please Select Player sounds like a cool ska beat.
I’m assuming you chose 80s synths cause it’s an 80s game?
Yes, I was trying to use synths that were available before the game released.
Have to admit as much as i loved the music from mario 3 the music from mario 2 was my favorite overall...
Do you have a Bandcamp or somewhere I can download the tracks of this project? I'd love to support you if it's possible!

0:30 I’ve finally figured out where I had heard that music from the slot machine stages in 3D World but couldn’t quite place.

Wart's Theme sounds like RPG mid-boss music.
Have you done msu packs for these so people can play the game with them?
can i use these for a fan game i'm making?
You have to (I mean must) do the pause music for every theme. 😜😜😜

Again, I still think the subspace theme is on steroids with the reverb. It’s a bit too much to the point where I’d honestly prefer the theme without any reverb at all.
Other than that, I like the music. 👍

0:30 When the school bully kicks you on purpose so you return a favor and kick him into the Middle Of The Pacific Ocean
HEY PAISANOS!
this sounds like the game super mario bros 2 (USA), that originally was released on the nes
I think the Subspace theme has a little too much reverb, it sounds more like noise in some parts.
That's on purpose. I wanted it to sound really ethereal, like a dream within a dream.
1:35 Must resist urge to aeiou...
Super Mario Bros 2 if got launched on PC
Please do super Mario world
I already did! Check my playlists.
The best of the NES Mario games, aside from Mario Bros.!
Have a BIG difference to GBA version VS All Stars Version, try GBA version pls
Well now you just HAVE to do the Mega Man 2 soundtrack like this
🤮
Cool
Everyone knows for now this game original osts are yume kōjō doki doki panic osts but nintendo changed sound quality also added last part of musics and this remix is crazy lol
HOW IS THIS EXACTLY HOW ID IMAGINE SMB2S OST TO BE IF IT WASNT CONFINED TO THE NES SOUND CHIP
