I mean he makes sense more than most composers you could pick but honestly, why? Surely Nintendo could get one of the composers they've worked with other than him? Maybe one they still work with consistently? Like honestly, as much as I like Banjo Kazooie's OST, this guy's only Mario contribution is Mario + Rabbids, and that OST was mediocre as shit.

Kirkhope work is excellent, and the Mario Movie would greatly benefit from having him as the composer. DKC, Mario + Rabbids, etc. His resume is masterclass.

Having said that, its not he is the only one who could do the job. Nintendo themselves have innumerous musicians that could pull it off too.

I'm not interested in the Mario movie, but Kirkhope is a fantastic composer and I think he'd do a great job.
I can't remember Nintendo ever caring about petitions though.
