The transition at 0:50 is so fucking good man. There's a lot of thought put into it. The song starts off in 7/8 (seven eighth notes) instead of 4/4 (4 quarter notes). Basically, 7/8 is 4/4 with half a beat shaved off it. Now... the transition hits the half-beat before the bar starts. Considering the track was in 7/8 before, what is happening is the transition is hitting at the end of the 7/8, but it adds an extra half-beat before the next bar... which is in 4/4. So it completes the last 7/8, turning it into 4/4 by having the transition start on a half note accent before the next bar starts. It changes the tempo slightly but you barely even notice because the way the transition was done was THAT smooth. It's some next level compositional shenanigans. Tim and Geoff were masters, full stop.

It doesn't seem that hard though. 3 quarter notes are thrown at you, and then an eighth note is thrown at you. Now let's take the 3 quarter notes. If there are 3 quarter notes in a bar, it's creates a 3/4 environment. There is also an eighth note too, so you need to translate the 3/4 to 6/8. 6+1=7. Boom, 7/8. It's how I figured it out.

The graph on this song. 0:00 - Oh, OK it's a beach it's nice 0:25 - Well, it's a videogame background song it's gonna loop after a bit of progression, I guess it's gonna progress 0:47 - Tim Follins concluded the suits don't listen to more than the first 30 odd seconds of a videogame track before approving it and has decided IT'S TIM TIME BABYYYYYYY.

I love how some of the notes in the breakdown sound like they are reversed - they have a slow attack. Really cool effect. No idea if it was difficult or easy to do on the sound chip but it sounds very unique.

Apparently, the music in this game pushed the sound card to the point that Shigeru Miyamoto himself thought that they must’ve modded the cartridge and opened it himself to check
