He wrote all the new level theme music for the old legacy games in both Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2, and he was sound director for this game (he also confirmed he wrote some of this game’s music). The guitar samples used here also sound like the same ones he used for his “King Bowser” arrangement in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

[@santiagohernandeznieto4657]

I don't know who was the person who made the decision to make everything Bowser related metal AF. but that was a good decision. Give that person a raise!!

[@brolytriplethreat]

It must have been a pretty early decision. The NES SMB didn't have boss themes, and I'm still not sure what genre the SMB3 one is, but as early as SMW's final boss, you got guitars and bass going. That's not even speaking of Yoshi's Island's final boss theme.

[@PianistTanooki]

Bowser’s always had that, though. Ever heard the Super Mario World final boss theme? Even Mario 3’s “King Bowser” theme was meant to have this sound, as Koji Kondo himself rearranged it in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in that style. Super Mario 64’s regular Bowser battle themes are totally meant to be in this style, too. It was Sunshine and Galaxy that deviated from this. Even Super Mario 3D World’s Bowser battle theme has tons of electric guitar.

[@starberrysparkler]

I expected the usual Airship theme remix, but I got something way better! I always really liked the theme they gave SMB1 styled Airship courses in Mario Maker, so I appreciate any love it gets elsewhere! I have no idea what instrument is being used for whenever you have the Elephant power up, but I absolutely love the touch and this is probably my favorite theme for it!

[@DAOC88]

I think it's not an added instrument, but rather the tone becomes a little lower.

[@scroobaloothemashupguy]

It's so cool to see a theme from a spin-off title get remixed in a mainline Mario game! I hope they use more of Mario Maker's original tracks in the future

[@JayBomb21]

Wouldn’t necessarily called it a spin off…

[@PianistTanooki]

That’s because all of the original new music that was retroactively composed for Super Mario Bros. 1 & 3, and World were all written by Koji Kondo in both Super Mario Maker 1 and 2. So they’re more or less the “official” versions of music for course themes that never actually existed back in the 80s and 90s. I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually start adding in the SMB1 Ghost, Desert, Forest, and Snow themes at some point as well.

[@get_stached]

Mr. Koji Kondo, you have outdone yourself. Again

[@yeetlejuice7181]

i fucking love how much they went off with the airships, everything about them contrasts so beautifully with the rest of the game. all of the levels in this game are painted in vivid colors and set to songs that, while obviously varied enough to fit each and every situation, still set the tone of this lighthearted and whimsical adventure. *then* you get to the first airship level. the skies turn grey and stormy. the ship itself is metallic and almost entirely colored black. the only splashes of color that break up the gloomy mood are the blaring green lights and flames of the ship, and the explosions from the firework-like enemies produced en masse. the score suddenly gets more intense, throwing out any preconceptions from previous songs in the game and presenting the player with a heavier, almost militant tune that uses instruments you'd hear in a rock or metal song. the whole stage *feels* harsher and colder than the rest of the world you've explored so far, and considering the environmental storytelling at play in these levels it fits perfectly. these aren't just normal airships, these are floating factories that produce all of the weaponry bowser uses in his conquest, and you're infiltrating them in order to make them self-destruct from the inside. the best part of all of this, though, is that it's all executed in a way where the game manages to toe the line that is doing a tone shift without feeling totally incongruous towards what came before it. things like the aforementioned splashes of color help a lot with that maybe that's kind of an overdramatic paragraph but you cant deny these levels fucking rock

I love wearing Jet Run on airship levels and totally never falling off because of the "go fast" rather than "do it right" attitude of the Jet Run badge. Tips to "do it right" even with Jet Run: 1. If you always jump right before hitting the ground (you can buffer jumps!) you can stay still. 2. Ground Pounds are a great way to stop, and you can even cancel a Ground Pound by pressing UP. 3. If you are ducking, you move much slower, great if you want to keep relatively still without jumping!
