A Moment.

#sm64 #mario #machinima
Just take a moment.
This music is probably by far one of the most important pieces of my entire life, and I've listened to it a lot.
Yeah, I get it. You're probably upset that there's no real machinima.
But just take a moment. To reflect.
A small disclaimer: I don't make any money off of my videos, these are all done out of love and in my own free time as a fun thing to do, so if you get any ads, I apologize. I don't know how to remove them, but just know I'm not making any money from them, and never will, because I don't want to.

[@Thero_64]

I see a lot of people asking what the music is in the comments. It's "To the Gateway" from Super Mario Galaxy. Also holy crap I can't believe this blew up, if you subscribe please tell me what you want to see, it'd help out a ton! EDIT: New video similar to this one, it's about my nostalgia with the Wii U, go check it out, tell me what you think, if its good, if its garbage, and what I should change the next time around kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpWcqXd8bNSqd7M

Watching this made me realize how hopeless Mario must've felt during his adventure in 64 or at least I feel like he would. Like don't you think there were just moments while he was in a mission or after he finished a really daunting one where he's just thinking "Damn I don't know if I can do this" or he just starts thinking about all the rest of the stars he has to get and gets de-motivated. Sure he has super abilities but at the end of the day he's pretty much just a normal human who has to go through these dangerous territories that just become more dangerous and difficult to navigate as the game goes on and he can't quit because he knows his friends are being held captive by bowser. I know I'm looking way too deep into a simple video game made almost 30 years ago but I just think it's interesting to think about it in that perspective.

[@SombroKoopaGuy]

No, but I do think nostalgia is paired with it, but I still do play the game on a mario 3d all-stars pack and also made me feel melancholic or bittersweet. Kind of feeling like I might have lost something before, but I don't know what like a piece of childhood memory or a check or turning point in life. I guess perhaps it's just the song, which is pretty sad itself much similar to like the track Luma, that along with being paired with the gloomy yet beautiful scenic view and mario sitting alone (almost like a mourn) adds to it.

[@JR28.]

These last few years in my mid 20's have been hard for me too, even though nothing 'bad' happened... It's just the feeling of becoming a true adult, you're changing and so are the things around you. It feels like life is starting to slow down and you're accepting what your situation is. You've got less freedom and have more responsibilities weighing you down that take up your time. Some things you grew up liking seem less interesting and close friends/family grow distant. I miss being a kid/young adult for sure, never felt that sentiment now more than ever.

[@int0the3p1t32]

Don’t get stuck in nostalgia. Life can be infinitely better as you age. If you believe you’ve peaked, you’re not trying to live in the best moments there could be. Some things are better left in the past than to be scrutinized under a microscope every 10 years.

I just want to go back to the good times... when there weren't any problems to worry about. Relaxing in the living room, playing Mario Galaxy on my Wii. Now here I am, about to finish high school and going into college. It makes me excited for the future, but it also makes me sad. Sometimes I ponder in my bedroom, thinking about life, and how I want to go back sometimes. But this is part of life. You need to cherish every single second of it, because in the end, it is just a precious memory.

[@Blaineworld]

This feels hyper-real in a way. It’s like getting glasses for the first time but with Super Mario 64 graphics, with the lighting, the low static angle, and the way the snowflakes have actual depth. I’ve also been playing B3313 a lot so to have this perspective on vanilla CCM feels like returning home. Thanks for sharing this moment with me.

[@DarkZide8]

Old 3D graphics are amazing like that. I noticed that when I was playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake and the game felt like... CGI-movie? And then I went back and played the old original Resident Evil 4 and that one felt like an 80s movie with real puppets and animatronics. It's like old graphics is more real because everything is sharper and you can tell you are playing a videogame while new games makes you feel like you are not actually there - you are just watching something even though you are in control. It's so hard to explain but it's as if the less a game tries to convince you it is real - the more real it becomes.

Gaming has been spiritual for me throughout my growth as an individual. The mixture of the stories, the visuals, the sounds, the music, and being able to do stuff in the game all together puts you into a world of your own; one where you get to observe things that also give you insights into your own life. Videos like these have been my go-to's for this kind of thing lately. To kind of vibe out with all the characters I grew up with, knowing that my fellow gamers are doing the same as we all ride this journey through existence giving you a sense of community. Oh yeah, for sure we need lots more of these kind of things. Both short quick videos like this, and long ones that contain mixes of music that put you into the state where you can reflect on this.

It's moments like these that make me realize that times have changed. The world is different now, and I've changed a lot from the days of watching this kind of content obsessively. I'm almost 18 now. Responsibilities are becoming more plentiful. I do not want to grow up, yet life chose for me. I have a boyfriend now, so many things have happened that I'm grateful for. I recently came back to sm64 to rekindle my childhood hours of the wii virtual console. Exploring the castle and it's secrets for hours on end. It's why i have such an obsession with some of the levels. The game is so surreal in a way i cannot describe. I wish i was a kid again, wandering the empty castle walls, always learning and discovering. Stay true out there everyone, and make sure to always let that kid side of you be a part in your life. Don't kill your childhood when you're older. Much love, to y'all. Peace ✌️

You're still a kid at 18. I didn't think I was, but here I am at 30. I deployed at 18 and thought I was an adult. I was just a kid, I knew nothing and trusted the adults around me who told me to grow up before my time and to deal with a world of problems I didn't make in ways that were contraindicated by the morals I was taught as a kid. Don't be so quick to grow up kid, take the time to learn and experience the innocence of the world before it's ripped from you violently.

I picked up super Mario 64 again two days ago. It was one of my first memories, watching my brother play whomp’s fortress before we went to the kitchen to eat pancakes that mom made. When I was little I wasn’t good at games and rarely finished them until I was at least 18; then I started actually playing things through to the end. I’m almost 30 now, and I can play games much better than I used to. I’m trying to get every star and I’m so happy whenever I see more stars fill out in each stage. So much has changed, and yet stayed the same. Dire Dire Docks/Jolly Roger Bay soundtrack is still my favourite song in the whole world. I paint pictures of the sea, and my whole life I’ve yearned to be underwater like the secret stage. In my dreams I’m wandering through funny rooms similar to the liminal space like areas of Peach’s Castle - that’s why I’ve always found them comforting rather than scary. I never realized how much comfort SM64 has given me through my life and it’s a magical space I can visit whenever I want. But not to go back in time - I made the choice to go forward. And I choose to bring these happy memories with me in the journey ahead and use them to create more beauty and comfort.

Ive been almost broke the last few years aswell because of school. I hope my friends don't think im a freeloader, i miss being a kid with no responsibilities

[@AllenGottlieb]

U got it man! ❤️

[@CauchemarGaming]

Hey Mario, mind if I sit here for a bit? I wonder if you remember me. We've been homies for a long time. We went through a lot of adventures together, but I'm 32 now, and after years of abusing alcohol and weed, forgetting myself, I somehow found this girl. She's a bit older than me, and she lives across the atlantic, but I think she's the one. Like THE one. The kinda girl I'd want to spend the rest of my life with. Get married, have kids, you know. Grow old together. Pushing me to be a better man, by just being around me, pushing me to be the best me I can be. The kinda girl you want to shield from all that's bad in this world. But in reality, she's the one giving you strength. Giving me a reason to wake up in the morning. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, spending all this time rescuing Peach so often. Anyway, I never really expected to find anyone like that really. It's strange, and it's terrifying. I'm on the edge of a cliff and I have to make a decision. Either stay in my comfort zone on that cliff or take a leap of faith and see where all this takes me. It's hard to make that choice, so much responsability, but I think if I didn't, I'd feel regret forever, wondering what if? Man she makes me happy, like no one ever did before, and I love her so much. She's such a wonderful human being, and I feel grateful to have met her... still, it's scary. But all my life you've inspired me to be strong, and to face life's challenges with a smile on my face. To stand up for what is right and do the right thing. So I think that's what I'll do. Thanks Mario, for all these adventures together, teaching me to be a positive person, a good man. I'm not at your level yet, but I strive to do my best to reach it. Until our next adventure my friend.

[@elijahweaver3985]

And I'm sure he would appreciate the conversation with you

[@vinnyandlin8510]

As much as Mario would appreciate your company and what you have to say, I'm pretty sure he'd only say "yeah" and "wahoo"

[@orangepeel765]

I always love comments sections like this, people just stopping for a moment and sharing part of their lives with each other

[@LockyMVoices]

When I’m alone for a few days at our family home, looking after the house and dog i sleep on the couch and have Mario Galaxy on the TV, i fall asleep to Mario in The Library on the Comet Observatory - its like a Sanctuary among the stars

[@yasmineh.1333]

Mario Galaxy's OST is such a masterpiece. I often go back to playlists to study or work with it, but never really to take a moment for myself. So, thank you for this. Many appreciate it.

[@thepixelatedbomb]

This seems like a checkpoint, something life gives you after a nice week and you just stop and rest.

[@Kingzylo]

Thanks, all I needed was a moment. What better way than to spend it with a friend from childhood.

[@tenebraeusw]

You keep posting things like this and you'll get crazy attention, this music speaks to people's childhood more than almost anything else. Really takes you to a little world of your own away from all the chaos in the world

Every second you can never get back, and yet, wasting them here doesn't feel like a waste. It's like it was meant to be.

[@tudorconstantinescu575]

My life is fine now. There is gonna be a good'ol vacation tomorrow, and I can't wait for it! After all the learning I did in the past few weeks, it will feel like a good break.

[@aran555]

Tough times in my life right now… I’m on the verge of bad thoughts, my family is in dispute of most nonsense sh!t…. And I just propose to myself this year to be grateful to be alive and smile. Each day is harder to keep that promise. I’m being dragged to this negativity that my core, my family has, and somedays I can’t take it. My head is overwhelmed. Seeing this video makes me remember that I need to breath and calm myself down. Thanks. :)

[@cowllama1353]

Today is my birthday, and it hit me that im not ready to grow up. I feel like life has blown past me, and i can only sit back and watch.

[@CorynthianLeather]

Video game music is something else man, i cry sometimes hearing the sonic songs. My mom bought me those games as a kid and i wish she was here. Video games are a beautiful thing❤

[@estebanalzate7609]

God this comment hit me so hard

[@greencat3800]

Thank you for making this video. ❤ I kinda really need this right now… I have been bottling up my emotions lately and just watching this video made me cry. If any of you don’t mind, I’ll just place this here: I really miss my childhood so much… And I missed how simple life used to be… My dad who is my best friend in the whole world who always went to cool places with me and played games with me and and would had me watch him play Wii games. Today, he got accepted into Grad School for Speech Pathology and Communication Disorders, so once he gets his Master’s Degree, he can help out people who have communication disorders. I am Autistic who because of my IEP, I learned how to adapt better with my Autism and live with it a little better. My dad can never be more proud of me which is why he wants to help people who are like me. ❤ But the whole grad school thing is going to make his schedule IMPOSSIBLY BUSY… Which means, he’ll be studying nonstop for two years. (It’s CRUCIAL to get an A, if you’re planning to work in a field for Speech Pathology.) And as much as I love him so much, I am not looking forward for two years of not having my dad be fully present because of the studying. I know it’s for the best, but the thought of two long years with all members of the household being physically present but not quite present. I don’t think I can be able to take it. Alongside with dealing with college. And lately, my mental health has been declining… I really want to just have someone to really listen to me with a warm embrace. But then again, “This is real life. Womp. Womp. Cry about it.” is what everyone else would probably say. I know my family will always support me no matter what, but I really don’t want to burden them… And I am HORRIBLE with phrasing whenever I speak, so my commentary could end up being misinterpreted as “whining”. So I try to bottle everything up, which can lead to massive irritability issues on my part. And the fact that I literally do not have insurance if I do want help is just so disheartening… Sorry if this was too long of a comment. I hope this gives at least someone here some sort of closure that we are collectively having that sense of longing to go back to simpler times. (By the way, I’m not speaking on behalf of everyone, but for the ones who would understand.) I really hope I find help and get better and feel better from dealing with such strong emotions… ❤️‍🩹

[@goldengamer6474]

I hope you can find someone to talk to, and once he's done, I hope you both can hang out again like before. You've got this!

[@dontmindme431]

this entire video feels like a checkpoint, like before or after making a big decision

[@DoritosBurger]

The moments I spent playing Mario games are some of the greatest moments of my entire life and I’m glad I got to experience it. This video made me remember those days with a smile on my face so thank you.

[@rachaelrix4096]

If the world collapsed, I would take a moment and listen, as a new journey shall begin, thank you for the dopamine, this reminds me of a lost memory.

[@mercianthane2503]

Wanna go back in time. In a week I'm moving out of home, 27, finally got a job, leaving a widow mom, and all I desire is to be 10 years old once again. Damn this age, damn this future, that I can't go back in time and cherish what I never truly appreciated.

[@_GRAMPS]

This is very relaxing and beautiful.

This music has the ability to make me cry, it's just that impactful

[@RainVR7285]

I found this video well trying to calm myself down after a mental breakdown and it helped so much..

[@ianeons9278]

This video just gives you a moment to reflect on all of the Mario games you’ve played, the memories you’ve had, and Nintendo as a whole.

[@aplsed]

I'm not enough. I never feel like I'm enough for anybody in my life, or anything I do. For every good thing that I do, I screw something up and get scolded. It's to a point where I don't even know what to do anymore. There are days where I just want to give up and finally give in, but I feel morally obligated not to for the sake of my loved ones. The worst part about it is I know I don't want to die, but the thought of _not living_ feels so comforting that I can't help but consider it. If God really does exist, and is seeing me type this at four in the morning, then God: *I want to go home now...*

[@-ScaredyCat-]

I hope things get better for you soon, my guy, please don’t feel like a failure or anything, you aren’t. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s a natural part of life, and it’s a part of learning and growing. Even the most successful/put together people make mistakes. As far as feeling likeyou aren’t enough, it might be worth it to look into why you feel that way. I’d recommend doing that with like a therapist or something though, cuz sometimes when we try to look inwards, it’s confusing. Therapists make it less confusing. Also, you are enough, since the minute you were born into this world you’ve been enough. I hope you can see that for yourself, one day, man, I really do May you be blessed with a lifetime of happiness and peace, bro

[@Lakshaymehta01]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I should slow down and relax. Attracting my higher self ❤✨

Thanks for the reminder to enjoy the small things. Good memories, deep breaths, and finding comfort where i am now.

[@Swytched]

Bro… I remember they had a thing at Walmart when I was younger where you could play Super Mario Galaxy. It was such an amazing time and I remember wanting the game so bad. That Christmas I ended up getting a Wii and the game. Legendary. This music literally sent shivers of nostalgia through my entire being. Thank you for such a subtle yet large reminder of a sweet time in my life.

Been coming back to this for the last couple nights now and I can say it's made every night better. Thank you so much

[@purpleguy-rw2vh]

With everyone commenting things, i think i might as well share my struggles rn. This last year has been rough for me, im in my teenage years and have lost many people around with death or simply losing touch. Many people like my bestfriend who i loved deeply, i lost because of my stupid self and my thoughts. I may have developed a crush on her and thus, decided we should stop being friends as it was the only solution i could think of. I started highschool with no friends, losing all of them in the prior summer and school year. I never felt more alone. I soon made more friends, but ill never stop thinking of my old ones, especially my bestfriend. This correlates to how i feel about many of these nostalgic games i care deeply about. Wishing for an older time. Games like mario 64 and many n64 games for that matter guve me comfort for some reason. I didnt grow up with these games yet i still feel nostalgic. From the solemn music and atosphere of kirby64s quiet forest, paper marios end credits staring off into a firework lit sky with bittersweet music, or majoras masks depressing auras and themes. These games iv felt have changed m life, im not sure how. I somehow feel comfort in these old games. Maybe things will get better, maybe soon. In the meantime, at least i have mario.

[@estebanalzate7609]

Its great to know younger people appreciate these kinds of games too, they have something special in them that just feels so introspective and nostalgic, best hopes for you, and dont get too sad about wjat has happened, you can always say sorry to someone for anything or find new people to connect with!

[@synclaire85]

My stress headache went away . Thank you ! I really needed this ❤

[@grizzly8296]

I love this, its the only video that makes me feel at peace, it reminds me of the good old days when i was a lil kiddo playing mario galaxy 1&2, mario bros DS, pokemon and mario 64 on the DS. Itt makes me feel serenity, thank you for posting this.

[@arazet]

A genuinely beautiful song to come across especially at this time of night. I seriously needed something like this.

[@freebird1621]

Love this. It’s as if the world stops and I’m reminiscing with the characters who were a big part of my childhood. Now we’ve both grown up and it feels like we’re both reflecting on the future ahead. Thanks for this!

[@nguyenbuihamy4480]

I am so stressed recently with work and school… I’m glad I could sit beside Mario and listen to this… really calms me down

[@tvmushroomz]

got quite a bit going on in my life atm and i was feeling pretty lost and upset just now. came across this video while looking for some music to listen to, this is such a nice breather, thank you :)

[@BlackTiger-2000]

I wish I could be a kid again... I hate absolutely everything about the now. How I'm more frail than when I was young and can't run like I used to anymore, how there's so much more to care about, how I was so, so much happier... I hate adulthood, it's problems after problems, and even if you do nothing to instigate them, problems still come knocking at your door. I'm just so sick of it all, I wish there was a reset button, or that I could simply stop existing without anyone ever remembering I existed, if I can be selfish for the smallest of days. I just don't see my worth anymore, ppl could even love me but if I can't love myself what's that worth for? Everyday is turmoil and I see no end to my misery. And not only me, everything in this rotten world is miserable. I hope I can one day read this and have a laugh at how depressing these times were, if I get to make it there that is.

[@DohPixelheart]

sorry if this is random, but im still in my teen years and just wanted to say hi. i hope things will get better, and sometimes i feel nervous about the future and if im able to fit as an adult when i do so many dumb choices. we all are struggling i guess, so it's nice being able to relax and relate to a similar passion in games, and this connectness makes life just a tad bit easier. wish you all the luck in life

[@MrLuigiBean1]

Thank you for making this. ❤

[@PixelaGames2000]

This is so beautiful, I love this. You give me super Mario galaxy music and I am taken back to my childhood

[@Bronzation]

I stumbled across this video at a dark point in my life. This video felt surreal to encounter, as I often played this song in my head when I wake up--not sure where the habit came from, it just sort of happened--so I was surprised to find this video. This song, and the accompanying video, feels calming and reflective. It helped me come down from my self-analytical spiral and exist in the present moment. I'm glad someone else appreciates this song as well. Thanks for making this.

[@S.O.B.E]

KZbin me lo puso en mi inicio y viendo los comentarios dios es increíble como un pequeño video de Mario 64 Sentado fue capaz de darle tanta paz y unos instantes de tranquilidad a muchas personas que están en sus peores días simplemente por cosas como estas me hace feliz encontrar este tipo de vídeos donde simplemente te dejas llevar :')

[@HGPokemonTrainer]

Y’know, I’ve been having a hard time lately. Depressions been a pain for me recently, my dad and his new gf keep arguing, and most importantly school has been kicking me to the ground. But this song gives me sense of peace. It gives me a moment to breathe. For some reason, it reminds me of my dear Minnie. A cat long past. I miss him. This song reminds me of my new cat ghost. He’s like Minnie, but different. I love ghost and don’t know what I’d do without him right now. Thank you. Thank you for reminding me there is still good in the world and that I’m never alone.

[@Acacius1992]

Have depression too sadly cant say anythjng positive as you here

[@yasmineh.1333]

I wish the best to the both of you. Depression is one hell of a demon, speaking from experience. Just remember to take time with those who matter most to you, and to nurture your hobbies and interests when you have the time & energy. It's done wonders for me when I felt like I couldn't keep going, and I hope it can help you two as well.

[@Raccoon2010]

This is really beautiful and relaxing. Awesome stuff!

[@linusknipping6724]

This is the most calming video on the entire internet. It really helped me a lot and I really enjoyed it. Whenever I watch this video... I feel so... calm... I will always come back here to relax and forget all my stress for some time. Thank you for this masterpieces. It's just perfect the way it is.❤

[@arclight3213]

Not sure how this video found me, but I needed to see and feel this today. I have been so obsessed with consuming and making, that just *experiencing* is something I hardly get to do anymore. Feels like the first time I heard SeverSlvt. Like wanting to cry but not knowing how just yet. It's emotion. -love, from a struggling PhD student

[@zer0Ideas24]

playing galaxy and hearing it’s soundtrack is something that forever chemically changed my brain and hearing it again fills it with the peace I had while playing.

[@StartbuttonGD]

It is only needed a moment, a moment to realise what has, had and will happen. Today, luckily everything has been around Super Mario Galaxy. When i was little, about 6-7 yo, i was completing this masterpiece for the first time, i was firstly surprised by how a little silly plumber game in the space could be so good, from mechanics, level design, to music; i was just a little silly boy, didnt even expect to have some relationship with games, but music is all what it takes to make this possible. Getting back to when i was about to defeat bowser for the last time, little i knew what scenes would come after beating bowser. First, surprised by how giantness and aloneless feeling could make me nostalgic even without playing it before, the universe is exploding, there is no getting back anymore. And then, The Scene. And what a scene, all the lumas sacrificing themselves so mario could get back to his land. All our little silly friends, gone, for our own good. Little i knew what that feeling music gives. After that point of the game i learned what was that feeling. Im not comparing it to losing someone but, after beating SMG2 for the first time, around 8 yo. My Wii stopped working. For context, that same wii was the first console ive played in my life, almost i was 2 years old the first time ive touched that piece of magic. Ive thought that i couldnt take it back, replay just a bit of everything i knew, replay all the final scenes from SMG. I felt it strong enough to convinve my parents to not throw it out, didnt know why, didnt know how to make it work again. Almost 8 years after, i made it work again. Last summer 2023, i did everything possible in my hand to solve the broken little heart of my 8 yo me. Bought and HDMI adapter new controller and came back to that era. I was so happy, not proud, didnt do anything apart from taking the initiative to take it down to my TV. The first 2 games ive "bought" (by "bought" everyone knows what i meaning to), were SMG and SMG2, my top 1 fav games of all time, they are not tied, they are both top 1, it is different. That initiative could not be taken if i didnt listen to both games osts. I still cry hearing them, but, in this case, im crying of happiness, im not asking for something lost. Im asking for a lost era, something impossible to achieve. A moment, just a single moment. A moment could be a second or a year. We all need a moment. Thank you, for the moment youve taken to publish this so everyone can take their moment. Thank you mario too, youve made my life better, just if we could talk to you, mario. Thanks for all, sorry for nothing

It took me way too long to appreciate the nostalgic and somber beauty of this OST from Mario Galaxy. They couldn't have composed a better opening track than this! Listening to this now, as an almost 23 year old young adult, it feels like the lullaby of my childhood.
