"And that's where I think the game takes itself too seriously. Now you'll think "oh, happyd just can't be pleased", but you couldn't be farther from the truth. On the contrary, it would just prove that Nintendo doesn't have the maturity or balance to make something just right when it comes to the mood of a game."
No, they made the mood that they wanted. Just not the mood that you wanted.
"I'll be the first to say that the music in Super Mario Galaxy was phenomenal, and it really was, there are incredible tracks in that game. But there are moments that totally ruin it for all the good ones, and the clanky and zappy sounds are cacaphonic, totally off the line of direction the artists were taking the title back in the earlier days."
So if not every track is perfect that means the whole soundtrack is ruined? If they put a tone you don't approve of in the song the whole song is flawed?
And, why are you the one to decide the direction of the series? Koji Kondo did a chunk of the music for this, and he and Miyamoto had control over the music in the game. The team who made this game were all people who had worked on the series, so how can you say that they are taking their own series in a direction that they didn't intend?
"It's not just personal opinions. The tunes in Tarzan for example are more balanced, they are sung by a world-renown singer called Phil collins, and they have a lot of heart and a lot of melody."
A lot of heart is an entirely subjective opinion. One can easily say that "you'll be in my heart" is overly sappy and sentimental, with a cheesy lyrics that are over the top in cheese factor.
Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
Come on!
This is also a movie that features cutesy talking Gorillas who speak in Rosie o Donell's voice and a comic relief elephant who's afraid of water. Like all of Disney's cheese, it features a sappy overly happy ending,.
"They neither push too hard, nor do they lack. There are businesses that excel in making toys and forms of entertainment that please little children optimally, but are not suited for adults, like play-skool toys and whatnot. Cribtoys use the sounds that we find in Mario galaxy, as do music boxes."
No they don't. First off, the music in Mario Galaxy is far too advanced for a crib toy. Anything in a baby's crib will be a short and repetitive loop. Mario Galaxy's music is actually quite rich and complex. The only theme that might fit in is the one you posted before, Rosalina's theme.
And when do we hear Rosalina's theme most prominently? In the story room, where she's telling a story to a group of young stars. She's reading a bedtime story, which is precisely why the music sounds like a lullabye. By the way, the story she tells is actually incredibly somber and depressing. Aside from that, point out any song that would fit in a baby's crib.
"Sure these can be used artistically to give an eery mood, but that's not how it's being employed in Mario, quite the contrary."
