Super mario rpg original sound version download

Ignoring those tunes that fall flat, listeners will find a soundtrack with much more elaboration and depth than normal Mario soundtracks, yet also much more inspired and fun than the earliest Final Fantasy soundtracks. It is what it is, and for such an odd venture for the time, it was really great and stands the test of time. Do you agree with the review and score? Let us know in the comments below!

Hosoe's arrangement of Chicago just proves yet again his mastery with electronica, especially once the vocoder comes around and the main synth starts going. It's easy to be addicted by this track if you like this type of music. By the end, Hosoe throws in a nice little synth solo and ends the arrangement on a good note. Sano's arrangement of Marine Stadium is just so weird, especially the beginning, but once it moves into the main melody, things start to make sense.

It's just how he seems to warp the beginning and middle that may throw off a few listeners. Saving the most interesting till last, Aihara was responsible for the arrangement of the Kyoto theme. It starts off with chanting and quickly brings in flutes and drums into the piece.

The melody here is fantastic and the retro-synth solo at about into the track is just too charming. After that solo, Aihara goes the jazzy way by having a trumpet sound off with the rest of the instruments. Eventually it calms down until you hear some voices talking and screaming, which is easily the most amusing part of the track.

It all ends with a well placed Gong. So there you have it, a fairly short soundtrack about 40 minutes that has its shares of surprises. If you're looking for fighting game music that's a bit off the side of Street Fighter, this could be it. If it's catchy melodies you want, you're guaranteed those on Arakawa's tracks.

And the arrangements speak for themselves; they're simply fun to listen to. I have no idea how rare this album is, but given it was printed in , you could have a bit of trouble tracking it down for a fair price. But I believe this album deserves a spot in everyone's game music collection, right alongside whatever album of Street Fighter you may have.

In fact, the whole game was developed by Square on behalf of Nintendo and therefore there are some very interesting musical clashes here. If there is one track on the album that always seems to stand out to me, it is "Beware of the Forest's Mushrooms". It sticks with the medieval feel of the game, but it is also very quirky.

I think it's just the odd melody that makes it so memorable for so many fans, but I'd definitely call it a classic track. Yo'ster Island!! I like the latter probably because I just love anything that sounds remotely Yoshi-inspired. The former is more of a definitive faavourite as essentially the first overworld theme.

Yoko Shimomura captures that charming adventure feel perfectly. Lots of other themes did too, but a lot just weren't as memorable albeit still enjoyable. The normal battle theme "Fight Against Monsters" certainly stands out as one of the most Mario-esque tunes.

I personally like it due to my bias towards happy melodies and fun music in general, but I can see why some would find it annoying fast. It's extremely repetitive and it's sad to see one of the most iconic tunes be the most shortly crafted.

But hey, try not to get it stuck in your head! As I said earlier, a lot of the game has a Final Fantasy influence to it and the same is true for the music. A lot of the tracks have a more medieval sound to it, inspired by Square's big hit at the time, Final Fantasy IV.

For example, "Margarie Margarita" and "Hello, Happy Kingdom" have a very traditional feel that suits the scenery of the towns themselves. The latter is more of an upbeat march, complete with admirably synthesized brass and percussion, while the former brings in more of Uematsu's influence with its harpsichord samples and ominous laughing. But while this influence is endearing, I think the Mario and Luigi series really found its ground by moving away from Final Fantasy a bit, along with the music.

There are of course various remixes of Mario classics throughout the soundtrack as well. Whether the truncated appearance of the underground theme on "Super Pipe House", the rocking reprise of Super Mario Bros.

I think these tracks are more enjoyable because of Koji Kondo's original melodies, rather than Shimomura's arrangements, but they never really grow old. There are hilarious unexpected versions of the Final Fantasy battle and victory themes, albeit ones that stick very closely to the originals. There are some darker themes during the soundtrack that embellish the adventurous feel. The final battle themes such as the organ-based "Fight Against Kajidoh" and beat-heavy "Fight Against Kajidoh, Who Likes Transforming" are great climaxes at the end of the adventure.

If there is any negative in this album, it may be that the track title labelings are too overdramatic and sound like they could be in a "Secret of Mana" album. All in all, this CD is a must-have to anyone's videogame music collection, especially if you're a Mario fan. Oh, by the way, there are three familiar "Final Fantasy" tracks on Disc 2, so Final Fantasy fans will get a kick out of this box as well.
