If any city reminds me of rougeport it's Seattle WA. Our government has let the city go to crap. It is riddles with crime and the police can't do nothing about because of the people who voted for the police to be defunded. And those same people wonder why it takes so long for the police to help or to do anything.

[@SSM24_]

The town where, all within five minutes of arrival: - you have to break up a street fight - you are greeted by a noose just smack dab in the middle of the town square - you are robbed for half your life savings - you meet a guy who demands money for passage into part of town, and is perfectly willing to stab you to death with a spear if you don't comply God, I love this game.

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

And all of this in a Mario game of all things.

[@alonkatz4633]

Don't forget meeting a lady who won't let you go to another part of town until you get her new contact lenses.

[@WreckitRai]

You never know how hard this song really goes until you listen to it with headphones. I love how there's this up tempo, fast paced beat to represent the chaos and bustle of Rogueport, but this more sinister, bassy beat in the background to signify the town's ruthlessness, dangers and Mafia-adled background.

[@BrokenXScale]

We're goin' back, boys.

[@Aurik-Kal-Durin]

One of the most memorable locations of any Mario game, ever. Every other starting level is all sunshine and rainbows (often literally) but this games takes us to a seedy port town with a crime syndicate, a street gang, thieves, muggers, and pickpockets; heck, Mario gets half his coins swiped by a Bandit just minutes after arriving in town! Rogueport has so much more personality than Toad Town, Delfino Plaza, or even Peach's Castle. It's dirty, rustic, and dangerous, and yet it has a certain charm that I absolutely love in a Mario game. And I haven't even mentioned the ancient city buried underneath Rogueport that serves in lieu of city sewers, with the Thousand-Year Door and the Palace of Shadow at it's heart, not to mention the Pit of 100 Trials. As soon as you step off the boat, the games let you know right on the nose that you ain't in -Kansas- the Mushroom Kingdom anymore.

[@TheDropdeadZed]

Not to be nitpicky, but what do you mean "even Peach's Castle", listing it AFTER Delfino Plaza as though Peach's Castle from SM64 had any character or personality to it at all, let alone enough to be placed ABOVE Delfino Plaza? Unless this is another iteration of Peach's Castle I don't know about, SM64 literally had that dumb but kinda true creepypasta going around a few years ago talking about how "every copy is personalised" because of how unsettling and empty the castle is. Delfino Plaza on the other hand, if you speak to the piantas, has so much life to it. As the game progresses you can hear different developments from lots of the characters. There's those 2 guys near the beach who are angry with each other, the guy on the island who is alone and then gets back to the mainland, and plenty others. Sunshine is a mixed bag for some people, but the hub world and honestly the worlds in general feel very alive.

[@NightMourningDove]

@@TheDropdeadZed My only complaint for Sunshine was how small the areas were, they should've been a lot bigger but I get it

[@NightMourningDove]

I absolutely fuckin love the lore in this game... A shifty port filled with criminals and a mafia, right ontop of the ruins of a much bigger empire. Really does remind me of Mexico and Greece for that reason and I love it.

One of Yuka Tsujiyoko's few compositions for the game (also including Petal Meadows, Boggly Woods, The Great Boggly Tree, most of the boss themes, etc.) and it's arguably one of the best town themes in all of gaming.

[@rajkanishu]

I completely agree with you. I do not hate the remake version, I think it's a very good song, but it's COMPLETELY OUT OF PLACE, it's way too intense for the context it is used in. At most it can work as a battle theme, but it sounds completely out of place in Rogueport considering you are just walking around talking to NPCs doing absolutely nothing exciting

[@MiiPower]

Did anyone else comeback to the original songs after hear the remixes in the remake. Some of the music is good but for the most part it doesn't have the same feel as the original did.

[@PianistTanooki]

As it shouldn’t, because they’ll never be able to “recapture” the sound of the original. The original’s soundtrack, while not my personal cup of tea, aged remarkably well because of the use of electronic sounding instruments. Instead, they did the next best thing: They had Yoshito Sekigawa, the original main composer, serve as the sound director and lead composer for the remake and reimagine the entire OST with his sound team.

[@rajkanishu]

@@PianistTanooki I don't think the problem with this song's remix in particular is tied to the hardware limitations of the original making it sound "special", I think they just completely messed up the genre. The remix is way too intense for the context it is used in, you are just walking around in a city and talking to NPCs, doing nothing exciting or thrilling, it sounds completely out of place and does not fit what you are seeing on screen at all. It is a very good remix if taken out of context, something that I would lose my mind over if I heard it on youtube (shouout to all creators who make remixes of videogame music btw), AT MOST it can be a good battle theme, but it's not fit for its assigned role
