Battle Theme EXTENDED | Mario & Luigi Brothership

[@Emoyo]

I feel this is such a bombastic way saying "we're back"

[@BasicM]

can i just say, that this theme is my favourite so far in brothership. The boss theme well.... it just doesn't hits compared to the previous m&l series boss theme (e.g. dream team: Never let up)

[@Emoyo]

@BasicM I agree it doesn't go as hard as those but it has that "revival" beat to it that I am in love with

[@deadlord07]

​@BasicM I agree, the boss theme doesn't feel like a boss theme compared to the previous games

[@BasicM]

@@Emoyo yo i came back after days of playing m&l brothership. the boss theme is kinda growing on me and what you said is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. revival? hell yeah its like mario and luigi having a normal battle everyday because they faced tougher opponents than in brothership. lets be fr. all the battles in brothership is nothing to them

[@noahmontgomery3879]

This theme absolutely slaps, and if Nintendo is smart, they’ll leave these ost videos up so people can listen and want the game even more.

[@aaricbro.]

With the new music app, they’ll most likely add Brothership to it soon and maybe want these taken down (at least once it gets added to that app, until then idk)

[@Lucca_Time]

Yeah no - don't really feel like that. It's totally fine if they take those Extended version down due to their app - IF they were to release the OST on there... But yeah... Nintendo doing Nintendo things... It's not even up there...

[@miguelcrafter2997]

​@@aaricbro.They should release totk finally

[@Faz10do987]

@@Lucca_Timehey I mean they acknowledge that ppl like extended versions, but honestly Nintendo music is really good, I just wish they didn’t hold off on adding more osts, the whole “no artist is credited” thing is fair to be mad at, but research should be done before lashing out in arguments, I think the only thing that’s really bad is that American composers aren’t credited but I think that’s just for the sake of consistency.

[@michelangelo64]

lol if Nintendo are smart they will ad this to the Nintendo music app 😂

[@glitch2452]

Man we are SO FUCKIN BACK

[@Lucca_Time]

This theme goes so hard

[@KingSlendy]

I must admit I wasn't fond of this theme when I heard it in the trailer because it didn't sound like the old M&L tracks but oh man after listening to it a bit on the game I started really liking it and it absolutely slaps as a battle theme

[@paanazmi8062]

Ikr..it feels meh when i first it in the trailer, but after playing it now I really2 like, it suit for this game

[@BrianEX2023]

Lol, same here

[@michelk.8008]

Same thing😁

[@PokekaiPJNew]

It’s the exact same here.

[@Flare-D1]

Same

[@PokekaiPJNew]

This sucks because it isn’t Yoko. That’s what everyone else is saying, BUT THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!!!! If I had a nickel for every godly composers named Hideki, I’d have two nickels.

[@DiceRRoll]

Which is not much but it's weird it happened twice

[@luxerhusku2609]

You can definitely hear the mix of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Mario & Luigi tone of music and vibe from this theme! Hideki Sakamoto did his best to capture Yoko Shimomura's quirkiness of the battle themes from previous games while aslo thrown his own PMD spin into it! It fits very well and captires the magic of Mario & Luigi for me! He's definitely a great choice to pick for the soundtrack! :D

[@Lucca_Time]

Yeah I think it's an awesome OST overall!

[@pedrogomezid]

It’s him? The final boss theme is a bit weak coming from the guy that composed Dialga’s Fight to the Finish

[@joshcoy6748]

​@@pedrogomeziddialgas fight to the finish was by far one of my favorite final boss themes!

[@cmanhanks1]

If that's the case, can we get a crossover event in a future Pokémon title? I'm calling it now: special variants of Flarion (based on Mario), Jolteon (Luigi), and Sylveon! (Peach)

[@diabeticman2194]

Got Brothership for Christmas, and even tho I'm only two hours in this might be my favourite battle theme in the series

[@EthanMiller-q1f]

Watch out the browsers inside story lovers are at you house

[@Astro_Acee]

@EthanMiller-q1fand dream team

[@theivoryguy2476]

Idk how they did it but I did not get tired of this at all, even 40 hours in. I guess I shouldve expected that, that's a kind of magic that comes with every M&L standard battle theme. ...Still wish they did area-specific battle themes like with recent paper marios, though.

[@almondjoy4938]

Agreed on the last front. I might listen to different battle themes during my playthrough to spice things up.

[@Lucca_Time]

Area-specific battle themes would be WAY too much for this game. I think there are about 15 islands - which many of them having seperate subrooms. Paper Mario had like 8 themes in total - but having double the amount would be a bit toooo much. I think it's totally fine - although I would've loved the battle theme to be a bit longer. Maybe about 1:30min

[@almondjoy4938]

@Lucca_Time I think a good compromise would be to have themes based on the enemy types. Generic Monsters can have this battle theme. The Extension Corps can have an electronic remix of the battle theme. The Koopa Troop can use a rock variation. Gholm and Reclusa's Minions can have a dark and ominous tone. These four types would be more than enough in my opinion.

[@Lucca_Time]

@almondjoy4938 Oh that's actually a great idea... I just don't know how it would work if you have two types in the same battle

[@almondjoy4938]

@Lucca_Time I imagine that the ones that are more prominent will have their respective themes play.

[@Ethan-gw6mi]

dont get the hate this song gets. Especially the whole "its too slow" thing. I mean seriously how quick must you get the dopamine in your head? this shit SLAPS

[@GearHead36]

SLOW!? HOW IS THIS SLOW!?

[@saltendo2177]

@@GearHead36 I think they say that because the pitch of the music is generally lower throughout and doesn't use instruments that don't match quite as good as with the first five games. Like, the song is good but it is kinda underwhelming when compared to the previous games. Though it wasn't AlphaDream working on this game, so Nintendo had to give some of their own creative ability. You know how the Battle Tower theme in Pokemon Sw/Sh sounds kind of Undertale-esque? That's because it was composed by Toby Fox. So I'd go as far as to say this sounds like new-gen Pokemon music/modern Paper Mario music. Though that doesn't really shout out "slow", more like "different". They just aren't picking up the battle vibes as easily because they're too used to the earlier games.

[@GearHead36]

@saltendo2177 . . .Holy Hell, I think you are a music expert, that's a very detailed explanation.

[@cmanhanks1]

​@saltendo2177 wait hold up......Toby Fox did music for pokemon Sw/Sh?! Why am I just now hearing this?!

[@saltendo2177]

@@cmanhanks1 idk

[@georgecortes3416]

One of my favorite easter eggs in this game has you in battle, but don't press anything for a while when it's your turn. The menu will disappear and the camera will start shifting between different angles of both the Bros and the enemies as they maintain their idle animations! In short, you can watch everyone idly dance if you wait a bit!

[@Antonio-is2cn]

"Years Later, We Still Got It" (Enemy Battle) This theme probably has an official name out there but the one I created fits rather nicely.

[@AstralBirthVoid02]

I just want to enter a battle to hear the beginning. Everytime I fight an enemy, me and my brother are headbanging at the start.

[@jandc43014]

OH I SEE THEY COOKED WITH THIS SOUNDTRACK

[@themarxfromkirby]

they knocked it out of the park with this one, they beat showtime, showtime was my favourite theme from these games for years.

[@ProfVaharrak]

That bass is absolute fire

[@Cros9911]

geez this is good

[@Lucca_Time]

Yeah I love these themes WAY too much 😂

[@danielwolf4196]

This gives me the same vibes as a lot of One Piece tracks, which makes sense given the setting.

[@Smallsmallrose]

finally someone said what I was thinking

[@switchmanin]

This is my first experience with a Mario and Luigi game (I wasn't big on handheld devices) and, as a heavy paper Mario fan, this theme absolutely does not disappoint.

[@Jo13150]

This theme actually hits hard.

[@jsmaverick21]

This slaps. It may not be Yoko's work as the lead composer, but I'm not complaining. By the way, it gives me a sea shanty type vibe.

[@Jenna-f1k]

This slaps. Lovin the new Mario and Luigi!

[@DiceRRoll]

I played the game all right, and when I heard the theme for the first time I was like "Okay this is kinda fire" Now look at me hearing the theme on KZbin every single time I have an opportunity to do so This things slaps, it's not the originals yes, but it's a new thing, which i love

[@Lucca_Time]

New = good And if it's a banger = even better

[@MikalEdmunds]

I’m so glad others are saying this is giving off PMD vibes too. I’ve always thought that the Mario and Luigi series was the Mario version of PMD - at least as far as legacy and quality goes at in my opinion, and especially how they’re the kind of headliners of their respective side series.

[@mashingsumpotaters]

luigi logic™

[@GuyWithThePie]

This isn't bad per se, but Yoko's lack of involvement is *really* felt here more than anywhere else. BIS, DT and PJ's battle themes all shared a light, energetic feel to them (while still sounding distinct from one another) that I'm not feeling here. But those soundtracks are a tough act to follow.

[@vgbcp3rs0na41]

Please Shimomura! Return in the next game!

[@MexicanMeijin]

This is literally the Italian battle theme It's prefect for these games

[@GuyWithThePie]

@@MexicanMeijin How can you say that when Okey Dokey from BIS is the most Italian-sounding RPG battle theme of all time?

People don't like this? I haven't played this game yet but I'm a big fan of the Mario and Luigi rpgs. You seriously can't tell me this doesn't slap as hard as the past games.

[@lemonade7173]

Apparently people don't like it because it was made by a different composer, which is the dumbest argument I've ever heard.

[@kaidenjohnson3735]

It's not bad by any means. After playing through the game though I will say I don't think this soundtrack goes as hard as the previous entries. It's still a decent soundtrack though!

[@savagekid94]

Good, reminds me a lot of superstar saga. This series is my childhood, I literally broke up with my childhood girlfriend so I could have my older brothers game boy SP + M&L Super Sar Saga back in 2003. I'm so glad it came back, this was so unexpected.

[@Sharpshooter-yt1ec]

[@Lucca_Time]

I kind of get that - though I won't really agree. Personally - I think it captures the silly and goofy style of M&L battle themes quite well. Just listen to the Bowser's Inside Story battle theme and try comparing it to this one. That one could also possibly be a Pokémon theme then.

[@sh1ppwrekk138]

It is a very silly and fun theme, I also think it fits perfectly//

[@jsenn8140]

Is it just me or does Brothership remind me of Origami king. And we can all agree this music rocks 🎶

@ yea yoko shimomura unfortunately didnt come back. I was hoping she would but i hope in the future if they ever plan on making another mario and luigi, she would make the musics again

[@UFORelaxo]

@ it’s crazy to me because the more I play I start to think the same thing. I think the music in the game is good. It always fits the atmosphere and feeling of a high seas adventure. This game might end up being my favorite or second favorite in the series. There’s just so much I love about it. I haven’t beaten it yet so that might change but so far it has so many things I love.

[@yoshibro75]

What are you on about lmao

[@ClydeJHatbird]

@@yoshibro75 Exactly what I said, song sounds mid to me. In the time between when I wrote that and now, I've already forgotten what this song sounded like. Compare it to the other battle songs from 1-4. Those have way stronger melodies, are easy to follow, and just catchy in general. This just sounds meandering. If I'm gonna play an RPG, then the song I expect to hear for the majority of the game better be a good one. For example, the very first battle in the demo of Bravely Default back in the day sold me on the game. Before I even knew what the hell I was doing, I knew I had to hear more of that song.

[@aaronTGP_3756]

I guess there is disagreement. I can easily hear the melody, and I think the loopability works pretty well. Not my favorite, but I like it.
