Super Mario 64 - Main Theme (Bob-Omb Battlefield) Acapella

Here's my version of the main theme from Super Mario 64!
It's a legendary song by a legendary composer (Koji Kondo) from a legendary game. What else can I say? While keeping to the original theme as much as possible, I added some fun things to spice it up that were inspired by different versions of this song I've heard over the years. Oh, I intended to wear my normal red Mario hat for this, but it got all messed up so I used my backup. Hope you enjoy!

It's nostalgic in such a weird way. Obviously plenty of us just know the tune by heart already, but something about the way he arranges these acapellas - it's like the acapella itself is instantly nostalgic as well. It's so difficult to explain. 64/10 arrangement

[@joshuaarvia6434]

Agreed 100%. It's odd, but it's good!

[@arthurbarros5189]

I think I understand what you mean. Once Smooth made a cover of a non videogame music, and I felt the same, despite not having listened the music before.

[@eiko1]

Maybe it's his voice! Maybe his own voice reminds us of past arrangements?

[@eiko1]

As in we're so used to his voice already

[@fucklinkingmyaccount]

I dunno, i'd give it 5/7, perfect score

[@LilyBlue53]

I’m so surprised this one wasn’t done before, it feels like it could be a Smooth McGroove classic! Amazing job as always!

Yep, I've been searching his cover of this for years, it just suits him so well. Glad he's finally done it!

[@jonahbyers6183]

I couldn't ever imagine a better comeback song than this classic. A most hearty "welcome back", Smooth!

My father showed Smooth McGroove to me when I was young aswell, I wasn’t a baby but I was around 8-9 years old. I still love to listen to his music even now, it always makes me feel better.

[@MichaelEilers]

I love the fact that these videos are a working example of selective attention. When you look at each panel and watch his face, you can hear the sound he’s making more clearly in the mix. It’s just awesome.

[@rooseveltNovember]

great catch !

[@arthurbarros5189]

I don't know much about video editing, but I suppose putting them all while keeping it synchronized must be quite the work.

This is like a 2 part nostalgia for me. Not only the Super Mario Bros song but I used to watch Smooth Mcgroove religiously when I was younger. He got me through some harder parts in my life with his great singing and just overall welcoming vibe. Its been years since Ive listened to a Smooth Mcgroove acapella and im so happy his videos made their way back into my life. Thank you for everything that you do, it really does make a difference for some of us.

[@zafirablack]

Ay yo te entiendo totalmente ❤ me pasó algo similar y ver los videos de Smooth me daban alegría y luego andaba cantando igualmente... :) no se como han pasado de rápido estos años pero extrañaba verlos.

[@evilmonkey873]

@@brycea5452 I mean for one in my comment I mentioned "Harder" not necessarily darker but I can see where you may be coming from. To maybe give you some perspective, not that I need to explain myself to some random person on the internet. But its not the specific reason of a person saying "buh" that brought me to Smooth Mcgrooves videos. Its everything that is involved in them. The type of music he is singing, the production, the passion and fun we see during them. Even the quick little segment of his cat coming in just brought something that made me and im sure many other want to return to his channel for whatever reason. I have a feeling you have seen things very one sided in life and I urge you to open your perspective a bit more, for your sake. Also just a tip, if you "Dont want to be this/that person" then dont. The world is filled with too many of them and its honestly what it doesnt need. I appreciate your comment though and hope you have a good one! 😁✌

That's crazy awesome. I found him the same way. With me, I was drifting to sleep after S.O.L.s had just finished and saw it in recommended. So i used as a lullaby for bed and, I gotta say... Worked like a charm! I was out like a light. 🤣

[@rooseveltNovember]

I found him by waking up and hearing SEPHIROTHS theme from Final Fantasy 7 in the other room. I was shocked, because I knew my wife didn't like final fantasy. I got up to see why she was listening to it, and to my surprise it was an acapella version! Ever since, Ive been hooked on Smooth McGroove

Damn, you're the opposite of the dude here whose even older than me, LOL. XD You remind me of my little kid brother or something. :p I think he was born in... Hmm... 2002, I think, and will be like, 21 in September 26. :p It's weird to think about how old he is now. o.O Sigh... I think everyone in my family is at least a little bit naturally childish for some reason. :( He still sounds like a teenager or something to me, LOL. :p (Well, maybe 21 is still somewhat young at least compared to all of my older siblings, but yeah, LOL. :p). It wasn't even that long ago last year or two that I'd just see him go in the dead of night to get some Taco Bell down the street in his car, LOL. :p
