First off, sorry for yet another video, and while we have talked about Cookie Factory music before, I don't think we have talked about the music in SMG as a whole yet.

Have a listen, then finish reading...

As most people know I have been at full Mario Hype levels for a while now, but I think this just pushed it a bit further. If the entire game is scored like this I am going to be in heaven!

What do you guys think of the music? Best Mario Music so far?

I believe so. Koji Kondo is to music what Miyamoto is to game design.

Yes, Mario Galaxy will have the best Mario music ever. In fact, I called it a week or so ago in the Smash Bros. thread.

Anyway, all the music on the Japanese site is orchestrated, so if anyoneâ€™s interested:

Very nice music for a mario game, i was just surprised to see such a small team doing it. I've seen some videos a couple years ago for some game and they had 50-100 people it was crazy.

As they say: Sometimes less is more =) I must admit I was surprised how full & rich the music was with a smaller orchestra. Maybe it's just that Mario brings out the best in people? Or maybe just a world class director? Either way, there is no doubt this is a top notch performance!
