  • The Mario series has no shortage of beautiful music - Gusty Garden Galaxy, Dire Dire Docks, to name a few. But today, I want to talk about my absolute favourite Mario song, along with how it came to be. Let's take a look!

      @@N12015 I think there's a bit more to it than just the backstory aspects. Though those two certainly help.
      There's something about Luma's Theme in particular that... At least from my listening of it, really brings back memories of childhood, and not just because this game was part of my childhood.
      This song really gives me that sense of an adult (or perhaps in Rosalina's Case, an omnipotent space-deity) looking back upon their life and especially their childhood with a mix of Nostalgia and Sadness for something that's long-gone. It really acts as a perfect theme for Rosalina and the Lumas because of that.
      Rosalina is both a Daughter and a Mother.
      1: If we take the theories as true, she had to deal with her mother's death at a young age, which followed shortly by her accidentally getting herself lost in space. So she still has to deal with someone who likely feels very lost in the world as a child... Some may argue having her innocence stolen in the process.
      2: Yet Rosalina swiftly ends up becoming a mother figure to all of the Lumas she's adopted. Which only makes it more painful when the only way to keep the world from imploding in on itself is for all of the lumas to die.
      In both uses of the Luma Theme, we're shown many aspects of childhood, yet it all comes through a wistful sort of pain for long-lost trauma.

    Galaxy was a remarkable game. The Wii is really where the New Super Mario Bros. series really started to stagnate the brand, and Sunshine was successful, but not quite as beloved as 64. It was the right time for a new game, and Galaxy was a graceful reinvention of the traditional 3D Mario format - the planetary gravity shaping a slower, more accessible movement style. Looking back at the Sonic franchise tripping over their own two feet on reinventions every few years, you really have to respect Nintendo's design prowess.
    The music was great. The orchestral fare really gave outer space a grandiose feel. Williams-esque. It also is, in my opinion, the loneliest Mario. Rosalina's Storybook is some heavy stuff, and it's a bit of a shame that that depth of character and story never really came back to the franchise. Once you understand what the storybook is hinting at with the Gateway Galaxy, in particular, it's quite a gut-punch to return to that area. There's quite a lot of content in Galaxy that's about distant guardianship, and how space is simultaneously beautiful, lonely, empty, and incredibly primal and chaotic.
    Anyway, my favorite songs from the game are Gusty Garden Galaxy, To the Gateway, and the Comet Observatory. Galaxy is a great work of art.

    • @ThomasGameDocs

      This is brilliant write up! I totally agree with everything you said - Nintendo needed some kind of Mario shake up, and Galaxy provided that brilliantly (+ had a brilliant story, soundtrack and visuals to boot!) Now, I definitely have a strong soft spot for Odyssey, considering it was my first 3d Mario game, but its story is nowhere near as touching and beautiful as Galaxy's.

      @@blakemorris1300 Indeed, I see all these people, stop playing their instruments around me, because they feel/are forced to take lessons and just practise hours trying to learn a piece by reading notes and often they stop because they feel forced. Ofcourse, lessons can get you very much knowledge and good technique, but for me, I play when I want to, can't even read notes cause I never spend the time. I watched a ton of youtube videos and learned a lot about music theory, and just improvise absolutely everything, almost never do I specifically try and learn a specific song, instead I will just make stuff up and play and figure the songs I like out myself in my own way. Now, I get how useful sight-reading is and that I should eventually learn it as it is just very handy to be able to sit down and learn a piece that way when you're good at it, but I just like to improvise anyways.

    Damn it, I was hoping you's pick something else. I seriously have to hold back tears every time I listen to this. I remember Super Mario Galaxy when it was new. I was like 6 at the time, and the music always captivated me. These compositions convey this sense awe and whimsy. This track in particular reminds me so much of being young, and having my parents help me read the dialogue in the game, and the joy of everything being new. Rosalina's story it's self is so sad. It really makes you value the people you love, and to love the people that like you, because they are there for you. Great job with the video! I'm glad I got to learn more about the creation of these compositions, and listen to your cover of the song.

    In my eyes Mario galaxy has always stuck out from the rest of series because there was something really sombre, beautiful and elegant to the game's whole vibe that you typically wouldn't find in a Mario game. I think it's music was a crucial part of this distinctly special feeling. Thank you for making this video, I'm glad that now I can appreciate this game's amazing music even more. Personally, Space Junk galaxy is my favorite track in the game.
