Evolution of Mario & Luigi Series Main Overworld Battle Theme (2003-2024)

I believe Dream Team has the best main battle theme in the series. Which one is your favorite?

try try again is worst than okey dokey but victory in the dream world is just peak

My ranking (disclaimer, this is an opinion and you don't have to agree): #1 B (Where on Earth did this masterpiece come from?) #2 BIS (Fire) #3 DT (Also Fire) #4 PiT (Underrated) #5 SS (Dance) #6 PJ (It's got a good drive) They're all good songs but Brothership's new theme has a jazzy opening, and it brings back the accordion from BIS.

Everyone just chose to hate on m&l dream team for no good reason at all.. maybe it’s just the forceful tutorials, but that’s like about it-

[@squeakyfoxx]

yeah, I'm almost finished with the game and it's really not bad. it took what BiS did, and expanded upon it. the music is so good too. I wouldn't say better than BiS's ost, but it's still great. the entire ost reminds me of another game that Shimomura composed for, being Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. the only real issue I have with the game is that alphadream mixed the audio awfully. the sound effects are *way* too quiet, and the music is way too loud.

[@jornkinther]

@@squeakyfoxx yeah I agree. If not the best, it has ONE OF the best soundtracks imo. The giant battle is where it shined the most to me as well, considering it's high quality as well.

Finally, people are giving credit to Dream Team where it deserves. Definitely an overhated game.

[@ppo1502]

Nop nobody hates Dream Team Paper Jam is the hated one

[@A_Ali173]

People hate on both Dream Team and Paper Jam way too much. Played through Paper Jam last year and I was shocked how good it was compared to what the internet said about it. Yeah it doesn’t have original characters but it did put familiar characters under a new light and we got to see them in new scenarios. Some of these characters include the koopalings, king Bob omb, nabbit, the charging chucks etc And the hate for Dream Team is ridiculous. I think the only issue I had with it was pacing and the giant battles. The pacing wasn’t horrendous but the game did start to drag on, especially after the ultibed. Giant battles, I was never fond of them. Even in BiS I found them a bit too gimmicky but they ain’t that bad because they don’t happen that often

[@viefcheesecake]

Brothership, lots are saying it’s lacking, I agree, but the trumpet is really nice when it has the chance to sing 4. PiT, love the bass 5. SS, classic, a banger even if it’s low on my list 6.

My ranking is: 1. Dream Team! There’s just something so whimsical and magical about the battle music, it really does feel like fighting in a dream. (Also including victory version.) 2. Bowser’s Inside Story! I mean it’s an absolute banger and it’s so satisfying! It sounds so fun and definitely catches the vibe of both Mario and Luigi fighting, as well as Bowser! 3. Brothership! While it’s definitely not the best we’ve gotten, I think it’s pretty good! It catches that vibe of a sea shanty and still sounds like a class Mario and Luigi battle theme while also capturing something new, which definitely fits what they were going for in this game. 4. Superstar Saga! I mean it’s a classic! It’s not that I don’t think this song is really good and that deserves to be up there with the others, I just personally like the other themes more. This was, like many others’, my first Mario and Luigi game, and this battle theme will always be nostalgic to me! 5. Partners is Time! I’ll be honest, I didn’t really notice this theme that much while playing, but hearing it here I do think it definitely almost captures the vibe of two Italian Brothers fighting alongside their baby counterparts, I just don’t think it fully does the trick for me. Still good though! 6. Paper Jam! It’s not that I don’t like this theme or the game itself, while it’s probably the worst out of all of them, I still thoroughly enjoyed Paper Jam. I just don’t think this theme is that good when compared to the rest, and it does slightly bother me that it sounds so off tune. I don’t know, I still like it, just significantly less than the others.
