#SuperMarioOdyssey #JumpUpSuperStar #Reaction
The part where this song plays in the actual game not only feels but IS a love letter to the whole franchise of Super Mario Bros. And what a love letter this is!
It made me cry the first time I played it
@@AMTRAX same bro
no way makoto yuki
This song was played as the main promotional material for when the game came out and the level New Donk City. The level is supposed to be based on New York with Pauline, Mario's old love interest, as mayor of the city and vocalist of this song.
New Donk City is also a huge throwback to the original Donkey Kong which was the first game Mario, Pauline and Donkey Kong appeared.
I forgot about Pauline! Thanks for the reminder, this is a big part of the stage and history in general.
weird that Pauline says that the day Donkey Kong kidnapped her was "very traumatic", yet she throws an annual musical festival themed completely around that day
@@marche800The melody during the bridge of this tune is an arrangement of the original Donkey Kong arcade game music, which was extremely barebones, literally just 5 notes repeated over and over. It was a nice nod to the history of Donkey Kong.
This tune is just a huge shot of nostalgia for me, including the music and sound effects and even the admittedly cheesy lyrics.
I love the break around 2:36 where it plays the classic Donkey Kong/Jump Man theme that Pauline, the character singing in-game, was featured in.
There are so many great little musical easter eggs and nods to Mario's past in this. I love it!
That was *such* a catchy 5 notes! They had an arcade cabinet in a toy factory stage in Donkey Kong 64 that had a few levels on it and I'd just groove to the simple repetition for longer than I want to admit 😂
Also a little more subtle but around 2:53 is the sound effect when you jump over a barrel in Donkey Kong, right after she says "odyssey" twice.
Love this song! The singer is Kate Higgins I believe, who is also a voice actress!
She also voiced Tails in Sonic Colors, Generations, and Lost World.
@@staticshock4239 and Poppy in LoL!
This song made me tear up a little, this area of the game was such a wonderful celebration of where this series came from and I'm sure any long time Mario fan felt the same way. The little nods back to the original Donkey Kong were just the absolute cherry on the top, the break where it plays the 25M tune or the trumpets doing the little barrel jump jingle. Just so amazing.
Pauline is the (in-game) singer for the song. She's the mayor of the Mario equivalent of New York, and she's quite popular with the residents. Mario saved her ONCE back in the original Donkey Kong game, and Pauline put together an entire city-wide holiday to celebrate her savior.
Meanwhile, Mario saves Princess Peach every other week, and the most he gets out of her is the occasional cake.
In Mario RPG he managed to get her "???" from under the chair in her room 😂
@@peggieschafer485 Nah, that's Peach's.
Don't be afraid to talk about Mario. It is for everyone and having a unique impression with no context is more interesting
You think back to those old days, but the punchline here is that in the lore, it's sung by Pauline. That first girl that Mario ever had to save from Donkey Kong. And when playing Odyssey, this song plays during your "victory lap" going through an old-school pixelated course reminiscent of those old games. You brought up Mario 64? There's literally an outfit that makes you the oldschool 64 Mario. That old, polygon-riddled model. Yup. And some of the secrets of 64 are also secrets in the Mushroom Castle world in Odyssey. So yes, Mario is eternal. It remembers who it is. Nintendo always delivers a certain polish that's rare in the industry nowadays. Little to no bugs slip through the cracks. Speedrunners will find them, but I sure don't, despite trying to go full completionist.
The lyrics "We're the ones who made it this far" really a tear jerker for Mario fans, it is a straight out celebration for the franchise and fanbase which only grew bigger over the decades.
I still remember this was used in the second trailer for the game, and it having LYRICS blew everyone away; and paired with revealing the gameplay was a highlight of that direct/E3
Sung by none other than Kate Higgins, perhaps my favorite voice actress in games/anime for the last 15+ years. Possibly most famous in the latter category for playing Sakura from Naruto. Blew my mind when I first learned she was doing the main song for a new Mario game, of all things. She's so talented.
The section of the game that this plays in is so magical, and so special to anyone who played it who had even a passing prior history with Mario. It makes me tear up just thinking about it. Mario games are just pure fun
Hey Jesse, Guardies the requester here. Thank you so much for doing this i really enjoy every single one of your reactions. Jump Up Superstar is a kind of soundtrack that I personally never thought would come into a Mario game especially with the vocals. The moment in the game were this plays is a nostalgic flashback at its finest as many have already pointed out, but i also really like that before this moment (New Donk Festival) you help the Mayor of the city Pauline by safing the city and the get her band for the festival, and at the end of the festival you can see the band perform and Mario dances along. Always taking the time to savor the moment and listen to this awesome OST.
Soooo glad someone requested ❤️. Mario is such a long running series that it's easy for it to become stale. Then I heard this in a trailer and knew they're putting all their heart into these games still.
This song got used a lot in promotional material and I never got tired of it; it's just so joyful. And the section this plays in during the game is a blast. I have a lot of appreciation for Mario, but I don't really stick with the mainline games. Odyssey was the first game I actually finished single player; I had finished some of the 2D platformers that can be played with 2+ players. But Odyssey was just a joy to play and this song feels so symbolic of that.
Fun fact: This song had played in the Main Nintendo, on Kyoto, throughout the final phase of the game's development.
And This song is a love letter for the Mario fans 'cause the others coments, and apears in one of the best parts of the game, combining the epic and the nostagia in the best posible way.
(Sorry my english isn't Good)
The chorus Part of the song where they're singing "odyssey yessey" is playing the melody from the original Donkey Kong on Arcade. That was the first game Mario (and Donkey Kong) appeared in and the whole level this song is connected to is a throwback to Donkey Kong.
About Nintendo's quality standards for its franchises: when Shigeru Miyamoto (creator of Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and several others, may as well call him Mr. Nintendo) was working as an executive producer, he'd often "upend the table," or throw out everything his team had presented to him, regardless of the stage of development they were in. If he didn't approve, it was tossed and they'd have to start over again until they won his approval. The results truly speak for themselves.
He's also why we always, always check behind waterfalls for secrets. Dude hid all kinds of things in the original Legend of Zelda in '86, urging players to explore and make the Hyrule on their cartridge their own 😉
While this is true, this new era of nintendo bangers, (Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild etc) comes from when Shigeru stepped back. For years, Miyamoto was the one pushing things like the Mario series being more focussed on linear, course-clear gameplay like Galaxy 2 and 3d world/land. The younger developers weren't really able to second guess those choices.
Once Miyamoto stepped down, younger developers who *grew up on nintendo* were able to try and capture some of the lightning that worked back in Nintendo's golden age.
Probably the main reason that the Switch era generally considered far superior to the Wii-U era.
I knew you were gonna say Skullgirls, Big Band approves.
New York (and New Donk City in turn) are both heavily affiliated with the 1920s styles and Art Deco which is what Skullgirls is inspired by, so you nailed it right on the head.
The entire Super Mario Galaxy 2 soundtrack is nothing but bangers.
I've never been a big fan of platformers, so I never really cared for a lot of Mario games, but I did spend a LOT of time with Odyssey, in part because the vocalist for the song is the voice actress for Lissa, my favorite character in Fire Emblem Awakening, another game by Nintendo.
when i hear this song, i cant help but smile!
Fun fact: The lyrics to this song are written on the inside of the game case.
No waaaaay! Why did I get it digitally?😂😂😂
no way i never noticed im gonna check rn
For some reason I got tears in my eyes when the game had a trailer (I think it was even the reveal?) in one of Nintendo's "Nintendo Direct" presentations (in which new games are revealed or new trailers are shown) because it was brand new, but hits deep into my nostalgia somehow I guess. Like it's a huge celebration of Mario games somehow and sends you down memory lane.
It's still great, I think it will be a iconic song for Mario and Nintendo for maybe ever and I still get tears in my eyes when I suprisingly hear it sometimes.
There's a Kirby song called "Money Machine" that doesn't really make sense yet is still a banger.
I'm not even a big Mario fan and I cried when this played in-game. So joyful haha
“I feel like I’m watching family guy.” For years I’ve never thought of relating this song to that, but now I can’t unhear it
I love this song. Even before I played Mario Odyssey, I would listen to it over and over on CZcams because it was just so good. It kind of feels like something you would hear as an intro, because it really does get you excited to go on an adventure.
This is one of the first times that a Mario game had voiced lyrics so it makes sense you were surprised, and I remember that a lot of Nintendo fanboys were mad because they associate Sonic music with vocal tracks and also think Sonic is cringe. Also as someone else said, it is true that it was used in promotional material, but it is also just a song celebrating Mario. You hear this song in a festival where you move through a 2D section (Odyssey has 2D and 3D areas) that is designed after the Donkey Kong arcade game with the festival recounting "the history of New Donk City". In fact New Donk City, which is the larger level could be argued to be a celebration of Mario as well, as you can play 1-1 of the original Super Mario Bros within the city, there is a reference to Mario Maker, Pauline, the person singing the lyrics to the song in game is the Mayor of the city and the girl Mario saves in the Donkey Kong arcade game, the list goes on. In many ways this area of Odyssey is just nostalgia the level
@@NuiYabuko Okay, but I do though, when I looked under the youtube comments section for the song when it first came out there were a lot of people who were comparing it to sonic and "hoped that Nintendo didn't do it again". Maybe it wasn't as common as I thought, but I personally saw a lot of people saying it.
@@NuiYabuko My memory could also be exaggerating the amount of people who were saying it because it really annoyed me at the time.
Can’t believe we only have 10 Mario reaction 😅. At this point he should have heard the entirety of Galaxy and MK8.
This one's good, but my favourite song from Odyssey is Break Free (Lead the Way), so I hope you check that one out some day
Same I love that song! And it also has lyrics it’s great an epic finale
This one was composed by Naoto Kubo!
I didn't see the trailer for Super Mario Odyssey so when I heard this song in the game for the first time I got massive goosebumps.
So cool that the Donkey Kong melody is baked in the song
this song, man… it really hits deeply
I hope you react to Peach's Castle theme from Super Mario 64 along with the Super Mario Odyssey version of Peach's castle. Honestly, hearing them back to back will make feel nostalgia and appreciate how far the series have come.
It's hard to relate to others how monumental the move to 3D really was. Hearing the "you don't have enough stars to open the door, haha" music with Bowser's bwahaha takes me straight back to being a grubby 10 year old girl blissfully ruining her neck playing those demo setups designed to be too uncomfortable to play longer than maybe 5 minutes. Once I owned the game I would just plow through completing it stage by stage instead of star by star, but about 10 years ago for whatever reason I tried a door without the stars to back it up and BOOM, I found I'd mastered time travel 😂
@Peggie Schafer playing this game for the first time will always hold a special memory for me. Me and my sister when we were kids had a blast playing it.
This should really be in the opening of the next Mario movie.
It would be so cool if you could play this game because the songs are even better in-game! :D
You better react to Mario World's Athletic Theme.
If you en joyed this watch the live dance and performance for the games launch done in the streets of NYC
Interestingly i never played this game but i did know the song. Just dont remember where i heard it.
He’s not called Mr Video Game for nothing
Pauline was always the right one for Mario
Whoa. Someone has almost the same name as me o-o
Mario!!!!!
Main Theme - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
MARIO ODYSSEY ESCAPE!
what is the song in the background when you talk
Oh boy, I have some opinions on this one but I'll try to say them in the most respectful way possible.
I'll talk about what I like about the song first. It's fun, happy and the big band feel is nice. The bass line is probably my favorite part of the song and I really enjoy the sound effects used, adding sound effects in music where it's appropriate is one of my favorite things, the instruments sound good and the performance is well done. Now the thing that makes this song irk me, it's less about the song itself or more about how popular it got. People were praising it to crazy lengths and making it such a huge deal when it's just an average song to me. It doesn't do anything that wows me, it's a first for Mario sure but it doesn't hold a candle to other series that deserve some of that praise this song got. Basically I got annoyed with people talking about it all the time, the song itself is fine but it just ended up being annoying to me now. It's not a bad song and there's nothing wrong with liking/loving the song, I'm just not a fan of it personally.
@@NuiYabuko I said at the end of my comment there's nothing wrong with others liking/loving the song.
@@Multxverse there are several main stream video game songs I like even love and 9 times out of 10 I get the hype for. This one I don't get at all and when there are several series and soundtracks that deserve some of that praise more it gets annoying for me.
Maybe for Kate Higgins beautiful singing voice?
@@MilanTehVillain Her voice is good, I can't knock it.
I knew her as a voice actress first, so this took me by surprise.
