Part 2 by popular demand is OUT!!!!! - czcams.com/video/LWEDrWSkyTE/video.html
epic
Hammer Bros. Battle Theme not Overworld
@KaylumDoesStuff At 6:17 you mentioned it gave you Mario Galaxy vibes well I recognized it and remembered it was the beginning of "King Bowser" from the Super Mario Galaxy OST
@@4AEMRR you’re correct!
@@kaylumdoesstuff8373 1:39: I would like to point out that the pitch to the Underwater section is similar to the pitch used in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show: czcams.com/video/73JQ3J5qKgU/video.html
This whole movie was basically just a beautifully animated medley
And it was EPIC.
yeaaaah
Full of eye candy and ear candy
@@waikeonglim7703man so true, I really want it to go on top of the charts
With 3 gross out of place interruptions, one of which actually took place at a point where one of these tracks would have been in the movie if it was actually in it and not just on the soundtrack
I can always appreciate that illumination recognizes that no matter how much you try, no amount of remixing can make “Bowser’s Fury” more epic
Agreed! I literally screamed in the theater when I heard it! I was hoping for N64 rainbow road but that moment was so much better!
whend it play again
That moment was so amazing to me, literally my favorite part of the movie
OMG I was SO happy during that scene! I'm so glad they used phase 2/3 too! My dad hasn't even heard it before and he said "That song that the band plays in the movie was my favorite." I couldn't have had a cooler father 🤪
Yas as soon as I heard that music in the movie I was screaming and running
I love that they included stuff from Galaxy and Odyssey, not just the classics.
Seeing that Tostarena exists put a smile on my face.
And also Bowser's Fury
That’s because those games are classics.
Galaxy was my absolute favorite 😍
@@VenaCava I saw that too, but I couldn’t remember what the kingdom name was!!
Loved the movie, but my only issue is that in the rainbow road scene, they aren't falling off the track 80% of the time
I mean most of them DO end up falling off the track
Toad had smart steer on 😔
Well I guess they’re just pros…? EVEN MARIO THOUGH HE WAS NEW TO THIS… Or maybe are we just all bad at it…?
[SPOILER] I got triggered when Mario took a shortcut and Lakitu didn't stop him
it was the N64 version
God this movie is a literal love letter for the mario franchise, it's amazing
it is, indeed 💖
it really is
Couldn't agree more.
Exactly it was made for the fans and I couldn’t be happier. Such an amazingly fun time.
i love this movie so much 😭
When Gusty Gardens started playing on the credits i wanted to cry of pure joy
To say I was excited when it played is an understatement.
SAME. My heartttt
Fossil Falls was what got me
me and some other people actually cheered when we heard it
BRO I CRIED MY EYES OUT!!! Gusty garden galaxy is Easily one of the best themes if not The best themes of mario galaxy. I feel right at home with that song.😊
2:52 They did such a good job on the Mario Galaxy music. I loved hearing that in the end credits.
@@kid-named-finger-lolt’s okay I feel your pain
@Finger I’ve never even played Mario Galaxy at all before but even i almost felt close to crying when i heard that track (sister hasn’t played it before either but she actually was crying at that part lol), it’s just that powerful
@@TheRealDoomSingermakes you feel like you accomplished a important job, or makes you feel like you didn’t something good
I cried when I heard this in theaters it was just so good!
One thing I noticed while watching the movie is that all the non-soundtrack songs (Holding Out For A Hero, Take on Me, ETC) came from the 80’s, the same decade the Mario franchise originated from.
Although that was cool, it is extremely unfortunate that those songs replaced remix songs that were cut from the film (they are going to be in the deleted scenes)
Have to keep the parents attention somehow lmao
Even getting a smidge of the Luigi’s Mansion theme was a big win in my book 💚 i love this movie so much
I was so excited when I heard those notes.
Yeah my fav character from Mario is Luigi and my favorite games are from Luigi’s Mansion and when I saw him in the forest in my mind I was “yo Luigi mansion” then when I hear those few notes I went “LUIGIS MANSION”
@@kaylumdoesstuff8373 I was screaming please play Luigi’s mansion when he was being chased
Luigi's Mansion Music And King Boo?
Yeah, We Really NEED a Luigi's Mansion Movie
Legit I was wispering the title theme of Luigi's Mansion 3 when I saw Luigi in the Dark Lands
A lot of people don't notice this. But there is actually a smart steer antenna on the back of toads giant truck.
Seriously
Bro, he doesn't know how to drive? Even a baby knows how to💀
Omg that made me laugh so hard
Well. Time to go watch it again
I noticed
I don't know why but hearing the OG Rainbow Road theme and recognizing it in the theatres felt like the most rewarding thing ever since I have no right to know it being born after it was relevant
same!!! my friend thought it was N64 rainbow road and i was like. nuh uh! that's snes!!!
I felt the same about smb 3 and Galaxy parts .
Double Dash has my favorite rendition but this is probably a close second.
I audibly gasped when I heard them use the SNES version of Rainbow Road.
@@PunYT i prefer the n64 version, more nostalgic 😢❤
Imagine if the Sonic movie had put this much love into their soundtrack. Which is ironic, because the Sonic games always ROCK with their soundtracks
I hope they make the soundtrack more cool in Knuckles series and the third movie. It would actually be pretty dissapointing if they miss that, somehow...
Sonic Chronicles say hello 👋
@@DucPr0 Fans Trying To Not Name Sonic Chronicles In These Conversations!!! (Level Impossible)
Don't forget that Luigi's phone ringtone is the Nintendo Gamecube startup jingle.
Yeah! I almost yelled out in theatre when that happened. Can’t believe I forgot it
I'm surprised I didn't hear that much laughter in the theater when that happened in the movie. I wonder how a theater full of die-hard Mario fans would react to that reference, among many others.
Apparently it is also used for Pikmin because that's how my 8 year old son recognized it. And he plays my GC a decent amount xD
THIS is how you adapt a soundtrack to a film adaptation. Mad kudos and respect to Brian Tyler, Koji Kondo, and everyone else who was involved in bringing the series soundtrack to life
Now let them compose my funeral
Agreed. The only bad thing about the soundtrack were the random pop songs thrown in. They did not fit at all.
@@mustacheman529 very true
@@mustacheman529 Take On Me had kinda funny timing imo
@@mustacheman529 they gotta advertise it as an Illumination film somehow
@@Ultim808 They have that dumb dog at the beginning to do that.
10:23 I’m already well into my adulthood but hearing Rainbow Road’s soundtrack for the first time in this movie filled me with such an intense feeling of childlike wonder
The whole movie had that perfect balance between "easter eggs too obvious to everyone" to "if you know, you know" and I had a blast being 38 year old dude in a Luigi hat."
I've never dressed up for a movie before, but was happy to for this one, and wasn't let down. Peaches peachespeachespeaches has been stuck in my head all day.
Bowser's Fury was such an awesome deep-cut reference and I had to try as hard as I could not to scream with joy as to scare the kids in the audience.
Same problem here. There was a couple beside me and they probably would've looked at me like "Is she on drugs?" if I said anything out loud. I've been a fan of Showdown with Fury Bowser since day 1.
Bruh flipped my shit when I heard it
"deep cut" bowsers fury was the last mario game to come out, it's very surface level.
@@Rose-dd6bj 💀💀
People were screaming in the theater including me
The Super Mario Galaxy star select theme is used as a bridge between Toad House and Bob-omb Battlefield in "Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom"
Is it!! Cool!
(Let’s all collectively pretend like I didn’t forget to add this in the part 2 😅)
Pfp from magical starsign spotted
@@TheeDeeM Based
The fact they packed from EVERY game from EVERY era, from the references to the music to the costumes and visuals…
Idc if it’s tooooo much like the games! That’s the damn point!
Big ups to Brian Tyler. He said in an interview with Variety that he is a huge Mario fan and you can absolutely tell.
“I knew this music,” Tyler shares. “It was a part of my childhood in the same way that I grew up listening to film scores. I wanted to have built-in nostalgia where it immediately feels like Mario,” he says for writing new Mario music. “The idea was the score would be thematic Mario.”
He worked closely with the original composer Koji Kondo on the new soundtrack and this was the end result. Absolutely amazing.
The Peache’s Castle Lemotif at 6:42 felt really powerful and cool at the theater, I got goosebumps
Lemme tell you, hearing gusty garden in the theatre made me cry instantly
SAME, I loved it
Same😭
Same, I also literally jumped in my seat when it came on!
I loved it made me feel 10 years again
Same, tried to keep composure while surrounded by kids lmao
Brian Taylor’s passion for the franchise was clear and evident every second of the OST.
Imagine if we have the same passion for every single other Nintendo film we have from here on out. Truly incredible!
If they ever make a Zelda Movie i better hear a hard af soundtrack on that
Brian Tyler, not "Taylor"
@@kaarD04 they probably will at one point seeing as everyone is making a video game movie adaptation
Proof that unlike the older movie, this movie really has passion and really knew it was it was going for. What a brilliant movie
They did so good with the soundtrack
Easily my favourite thing about the movie for me
@@kaylumdoesstuff8373 Fr as someone who listens to a lot of movie and videogame soundtracks by themselves, this was amazing
@@JediPacman really hope this lets Hollywood know that incorporating video game music in the score of their video game movies is a massive Win.
@@kaylumdoesstuff8373 agreed, I like the Sonic movies but they can do way better at this when it comes to the soundtracks
Agreed
11:32 hearing this part in theaters was amazing! it's like you KNOW they're gonna do the song- it would be a crime if they didn't! but when it finally happens... oh it is just like the definition of "hype" i couldn't sit still in my seat it was just so cool to see!
luckily i was only sitting next to my family and we had the fancy seats so the people behind me were just flat out above me
For real! They let us sit on it, let us think even for a second "are they actually going to?" and that moment of anticipation that built up in the theater was SO worth it!
I loved the part where the Sledge bro's hammer just splintered
Im gonna pin the moment i was 2:56
You just put my feelings into words, once I saw the star pop out I knew what was coming and was so excited
The Mario Kart just goes so freaking hard in the movie. Unbelievable, I get goosebumps 9:08
3:36 Heard this in the opening scene, and was like "oh here we go!" I knew this movie was gonna slap at that moment.
This theme gave me goosebumps
I wished the two sonic films had this love with the music
Same, hopefully the next one does especially
Agreed!! When Ice cap zone didn’t play during the snow board scene I was a bit sad
@@kaylumdoesstuff8373 they don't play ice cap zone in the newest release of sonic 3 now how would they play it at the movie 🥺🥲
@@nazurin5982 I’m also sad about that as well. Considering that’s my favourite Sonic song
@KaylumDoesStuff It's a rights thing, but in its place they could have used Sonic Adventure Icecap instead
8:55 has to be my favorite musical reference. It's such an epic rendition!
IKR? I play Mario kart all the time and this gave me goosebumps
and they even teased funky kong in the movie
Yes, the second I heard it I recognized it immediately, very unexpected!
Same. I've played more Mario Kart 8 than any other Mario game, and I have the song on my music playlist. Hearing that in the theater was a great experience.
@@liam_mkWhere was he?
I don't know why I thought the Mario 3 Overworld 2 bit was the Dr Mario theme but it's similar
You’re not crazy. Lots think they hear Dr. Mario there. I go over it in part 2
@@kaylumdoesstuff8373 aha!
It is Dr. Mario theme. Doesn't sound even close to Overworld 2. I sure as heck haven't grown tone-deaf.
It's Hammer Bros. From SMB3
@@TheChabowski For god's sake you're right. This is what happens with too much arrogance. Good job me. I've seen an acapella video where Dr Mario and the Hammer Bros themes are mixed into each other so smoothly it's uncanny. That threw me off. Still not Overworld 2 though.
Man, these songs would be amazing in a theme park ride. They're so alive
It's a crime that "Drivin' Me Bananas" wasn't used in the final movie, instead being replaced with a pop song (Take On Me) instead.
As much as I love Take on Me. I agree wholeheartedly.
God I was wondering why that track sounded new. That sucks, it might be my favorite song in the entire OST.
True, The soundtrack is perfect, but that’s my only tiny nitpick
@@lorenzo_smit That, and they didn’t credit Grant Kirkhope for the DK Rap.
Hey atleast, they have the right magnitude for the movie
When I heard the rainbow road theme (10:35) I genuinely got goosebumps. Illumination and Nintendo made an amazing movie
If only they had done this for the sonic movie. It would have been nice to hear songs from sonic games that we recognize too.
You could tell who were genuine Mario fans by the way people reacted to the music.
Hearing the Luigi’s Mansion theme in the big scream was the most exciting thing I’ve heard in years
K but like, I'm really struggling here. Where is it? I don't hear any of it when comparing the two tracks. I hear the end of Deep Dark Galaxy and then the SMB3 fortress motif.
@@froezone_ You can faintly hear it between 7:32 and 7:34. Luigi hums it at 7:56. It happens really quick. I wish I could describe it better but I’m not sure what instrument plays it… I flipped out hearing it in the theater lol.
@@SebbyWest Ahh, it's like an oboe or something. K I very quickly hear it now, just the four notes but so subtle Idk how people picked that out watching the movie lol. Thanks for helping!
They’re super subtle with it. So when I was super stoked when I caught just a glimpse of it
my poor brothers arm when I smacked him when i heard it.
2:08 I was a bit sad it only be heard during the credits. Would have been great to hear it somewhere in Bowser’s Domain
Seriously. Its arguably the best castle theme.
@@meeknuggets4860 Either this or Bowser’s Road. Both are my favourite
@@xeronylloyd21 it was an absolute crime that koopa road didn’t play, maybe it’ll show up in the next film given how well it’s performing in the box office
@@meeknuggets4860smw and nsmbds has the best castle themes
man i literally cried every time i heard a reference while watching it. i felt like a kid again.
I really liked how they did the mario kart 8 menu music, it sounds twice as whimsical as youd ever expect to hear it
The Gusty Garden Reference honestly surprised me and boy did the nostalgia hit 😭
6:09 is a reference to "P" Switch timer sound in New Super Mario Bros games
😲 I didn’t even notice that woah! Cool!
and after that it's like a tragic version of the Yoshi s island end of a level theme
@@emiliocarrillo4594 nah its the beginning of bowsers theme from smg
@@SparksyKai Ok thanks
Koji Kondo is a genius. One of the greatest modern songwriters of the past century
give brian tyler his credit too! his adaptations of kondo’s tracks are flawless
@Oli Donohue two geniuses who love the property collaborating lovingly.
when Luigi was in the Dark Lands, i was getting an insane amount of Luigi's Mansion vibes
6:19 you’re right! That’s the intro to Bowser’s boss fight theme from Galaxy
Having Jungle Hijinks in an ACTUAL movie production is gonna make ME go bananas…
Its gonna make a lot of people bananas for a banana hoard
Except it isn't in the movie😭
@@thisisapen2002 they are saving it for the DK movie. DK rap and his original theme did just fine for this one!
@@thisisapen2002 it was, right before take on me played. Not the full thing, but at least a leitmotif but I did hear some.
Expand dong
3:46
Hearing this in the theaters was crazy. I always enjoy hearing the airship theme anywhere.
I cannot tell you how excited I was watching this movie and listening to all the musical cues and references. I was in an orchestra for 8 years so movie scores and other instrumentals are super important and special to me. This movie absolutely blew my expectations away with the music!
Who else thought aquatic ambience should have played when Mario saved DK underwater?
I KNOW BRO, like even just the first 4 notes would’ve made me love this movie 5x more
Agreed. Or Dire Dire Docks since you know the famous Eel from that very level showed up.
Maybe not when they’re getting eaten but when they’re having their slow chat they could have eased it in there.
@@kaylumdoesstuff8373 actually the Eel is from Jolly Roger Bay which yeah does play the Dire Dire Docks theme
FR!!
They could've used the more iconic MK64 Rainbow Road theme, but the SNES theme is super underrated and actually made me bit emotional.
That's why I missed it. N64 was my first version, and Double Dash was always my favorite MK game.
I thought it was the n64 one initially, but it sounds so rewarding every time I listen to it, honestly incredible unreal that this score exists honestly, so many references, it’s a damn miracle this score exists, it truly feels like it was made by people who knew mario
nice to see an adaptation movie that seems like the people behind it actually enjoy and have experienced the source.
I view The Super Mario Bros Movie as a celebration of Mario and how far he has come as of the last 42 years.
It's clear Mario isn't just the face of Nintendo, he's the undisputed face of the Video-Gaming Industry.
6:18 is actually the beginning of the bowser fights in the first mario galaxy, so those vibes aren’t without merit :3
I thought it was, that theme absolutely slaps
Man, the composer really went all out with these leitmotifs!
You can tell the writers are big fans of the games too, I love that.
During the Koopa band scene (Fury Bowser Phase 2), I got so excited that it was in the movie because it was one of my favorites. My dad, who isn't nearly as familiar with the music as I am and isn't nearly as big a Mario fan as I am, told me that was one of his favorite songs in the entire movie. I was so happy about that that I set that as his new ringtone LOL. 😂 I recognized just about all of these musical references and remixes and every single time, I wanted to say things like "That's the level clear theme!" out loud.
We should've gotten a scene where Charlie Day sings the Luigi's Mansion theme, that would've been amazing.
I was in theater thinking “WHERE HAVE I HEARD THIS BEFORE!?!?!?” Now I know. Thank you!
i thought he did hum it at one point? it was when he first shows up in the spooky skeleton lands
I grew up with the Wii u and 8:55 almost makes me cry
Same here man
So Bryan Tyler, the composer, basically did one of my favorite soundtracks 10 years ago (Final Destination 5). Then BAM, all of a sudden he twice-attacks in 2023 with both Scream 6’s beautiful score and then THIS INCREDIBLE MASTERPIECE! It’s so funny seeing him go from horror to my favorite videogame series over the past 30 years. Well done and thank you Mr. Tyler 🙂
He also did Transformers Prime’s soundtrack
What an odd trio of movie soundtracks!
He definitely knocked it out of the park with the past 2 screams but this score is something else absolutely incredible!
Horror and Mario??
Luigi's Mansion HAS to be the main theme for the next movie in this series!!
YOOO I FEEL THE SAME. Final Destination 5 main theme and fate’s bridge made me me a huge fan!!! To fin out he has done other movies made me so happy.
When that Starman theme came on in the movie, i had literal chills. Idc what people say, the Mario Movie is great and it's such a love letter to the franchise. I was raised by these games
This Movie is a Masterpiece full of Musical Nostalgia, and with Brian Tyler composing them, it can't go wrong! Gave me goosebumps!
When Kamek plays the piano, he does the same thing Martin Leung, the video game pianist, does during his Super Mario Melody with the Underground theme.
I got so excited when Jungle Hijinks played. The Donkey Kong references were great because I'm a huge Donkey Kong fan. This movie was amazing.
The music in the mario bros film was just gorgeous i wad blown away by how much illumination and Nintendo cares about the music
Hearing gusty garden from SMG made me so emotional in the theater. I literally almost cried, i absolutely love SMG and it’s a part of my childhood, it was amazing hearing it in theaters ❤
It feels so great to see all these tracks composed in a whole orchestra
Especially the water theme, which went from funking annoying to a beautiful masterpiece
The little bit of Luigi's Mansion as he's exploring the darklands gave me the biggest smile!
You had no idea how much fun it was to find them all. It felt like..an Easter egg hunt! You can tell how much care went into this movie and it’s fabulous
It's nice to see people genuinely in love with music from game to film
That part in welcome to the mushroom kingdom that gives you galaxy vives is the start of bowsers fight theme from that game
You’re so right! Thank you!
And before that there's a theme when you hit the special block and starts a countdown
The feeling I got in the theater when I heard the musical masterpiece Gusty Garden Galaxy play cannot be explained with words
I KNEW I HEARD DEEP DARK GALAXY, I was certain I wasn’t hearing it wrong, I’m so glad they added other Mario songs other than the most well known one
The SMB3 song in Level Complete is actually the song from the hammer bros fights
The part that gives you galaxy vibes is actually the hook from the Bowser fights from galaxy 1.
Nice catch on Deep Dark Galaxy. I didn’t catch that one myself.
I personally viewed the bridge in Buckle Up as the intro chord progression of GBA’s Rainbow Road, but that counts imo cuz GBA RR references it directly
I thought it was from Dr mario at first.
6:09 this part is the P switch theme.
Gusty Garden has GOT to be my favorite. The nostalgia was too much for me to handle
I think my favorite part is the new Leitmotif theme they composed collaboratively just for the movie. I kept scouring my brain to find the original until I found an article where Brian said it was the one original theme he and Koji collabed on for the soundtrack, and my heart exploded.
extra findings that weren't mentioned
0:58 - Hammer Bros. Battle Theme (I know it says Mario 3 overworld 2, but that's the wrong theme, its the one I listed. you can check it for yourself!)
6:09 - p-switch timer jingle
Omg thank you! I was thinking somethin were wrong but i could've remember the hammer bros theme
When Mario Kart sequence began and Rainbow Road theme from Super Mario Kart started playing, I almost cried!! It was the most beautiful reference I found.
This is the only movie I've ever seen at ANY point in my life where the fans seems to unanimously agree that it's incredible, beside maybe Spider-Man No Way Home, and I'm here for it
I can not wait for the sequels. After the Mario kart movie I’m praying for a galaxy movie
6:10 is the music of the time running out when you press a p switch
6:23 Super Mario Galaxy 2, second star that mario must get on the first galaxy leitmotif and then peach's castle
I really had to hold back when Super's RR started playing. It's the best it has ever sounded, my god, I felt right at home. 10:34
A love letter to all of Mario history from the very beginning all the way up to Mario Kart 8 and all the recents. I’m 25 and I doubted this movie because of the actors but damn did I enjoy it! The nostalgia had me feeling like a kid again!
SiIvaGunner has definitely corrupted me by this point because 7:05 sounds more like The Nutshack to me now lmao
3:51 This was my favourite bit of the soundtrack. I was humming it in my head when the scene was coming in but when I heard those notes, I knew it.
This movie was pure joy from beggining to end.
I understood every single one of them. Is this what nostalgia is? I’m only 17😂
I remember I kept whispering "omg I remember that from *Proceeds to say the exact game it's from* " in the theater watching this with friends
As a child who grew up with Mario it was hard not to point out every reference 😅
11:32 Goosebumps!!! The best final battle ever!!!!!
0:03 -Level Complete

@@best_mate456 you’re right! I was gonna put it in the little blurb at the end but forgot. Good catch. That one is a pretty obvious one I misplaced.
@@kaylumdoesstuff8373 no problem
the mario 3 one at the start is wrong, its the hammer bros theme :3
@@rosecallisto2981 OH! Absolutely right. Good catch! Not sure why I made that mistake!
5:41 Super Mario World was my all time favourite so hearing the overworld song remake in the movie almost brought a tear to my eye
So good, I’m gonna go see it theaters again
7:30 i literally heard this n thought i was losing my mind at first bc of how fast it played (thought i was hearing things) LOL
There was also Bowser's Fury theme playing when everyone was partying in Bowser's castle. Played by the Koopa Band.
I think by far my favorite "little reference" in the whole score is when Mario defeats DK in the arena, you hear the jingle from the arcade game that plays when he carries Pauline up the scaffolding. Absolutely geeked out when I heard it
Thank god they added Fossil Falls into the movie, its one of if not the best soundtracks in Mario Odyssey
I cannot express how excited i was to hear gusty garden galaxy. Love this movie and love the wonderful soundtrack they gave us
This just makes me appreciate the amazing music Mario franchise has ❤
The whole welcome to the mushroom kingdom part made me tear up in theatres just because of how beautiful it was hearing the music.
10:30 so epic that I even cried with emotion
