Super Mario 64 Remastered - Dire, Dire Docks

[@Kosmicd12]

It's odd to me that this is pretty much only referred to as Dire Dire Docks when it's also in JRB (and that stage even comes first!)

[@Super_Suchi]

Jolly Roger Bay is optional for 70 stars but you are required to do the submarine mission in Dire Dire Docks. Maybe that’s why the OST usually say Dire Dire Docks instead?

[@Kosmicd12]

@@Super_Suchi I feel like there should be a generic name for the water stages like there is "Bowser's Road" for the 3 bowser stages

[@tsunderecat413]

plus ddd is just a much more fun and interesting stage than jrb, there i said it

[@KUIJEN8659]

@@kargaroc386 it's also called dire dire docks in 3d Allstars.

[@AevilJ]

Maybe because dire dire docks was first water stage in beta and maybe developers named it like that because jrb was added much later.

[@mullar]

whenever i hear these "restored" or "remastered" versions of music, it actually helps me think about what kind of vibe the song was originally trying to give off. for this one, i think that the electric piano sound rising up in notes is supposed to represent a "swimming up to the surface" kind of vibe, pretty fitting for water levels.

[@loyolamenoscal9588]

Same

[@michaelmiller412]

Personally I think they did a fantastic job with this remaster, and conveyed the original intent of the music perfectly. I envision sunken treasure glimmering at the bottom of a body of water when I hear it.

[@Rex-golf_player810]

I feel the intent definitely already shines in the game version but these remasters kinda dive even deeper into the full idea

[@iDontProgramInCpp]

Literally heaven's theme song

[@jorgitoislamico4224]

More like Atlantis

[@Rex-golf_player810]

you know if i died i probably wouldn't mind this as the theme song of the afterlife

When it hits that highest note in the arpeggio ✋😩👌

Actually it's several notes played simultaneously but whatever

@@JPS13Laptop Oh. I was confused by 'arpeggio' then, since I classify that as a melody. Thanks for the reply.

It's a D and G together.

[@jessy4616]

that night, I decided to revisit the old dire dire docks for further inspection...

[@vappycat]

The Brickster turned from his life of crime and moved to making glorious remasters of classic tunes. Truly a redemption arc of the ages. Nice job by the way, this is really well done!

[@Mac14329]

What life of crime?

[@SQUIDWORD15]

Brickster didn't make this, daypeecone did

[@ChrisKogos]

I'm swooning

[@NoraQRosa]

This does so much justice to what a beautiful arrangement this song has. This one's gonna be a high bar to top. The amount of work that was done to ensure the highest quality remaster job here absolutely shows, this is incredible to hear.

[@ChristopherMoom]

This is such an incredibly soothing remaster, it almost makes you forget about the reputation of Jolly Roger Bay's Eel; daypee did an absolutely wonderful job with this stunning remaster, this is a genuine masterpiece -I'm sure Luke Saward is gonna be happy with this one-

[@daypeecone]

thanks sm :)))

[@maiied5699]

Man really called him day pee

Can't wait for these remasters to be combined with Render96 for the ultimate SM64 experience.

[@Tyguy714]

Holy shit, I found this I guess hobby of decompressing music and honestly this song couldn’t have come at a better time. Today was a rough day and I really needed this, thank you for the hard work Church of Kondo!

[@PauloGrespan93]

I want to thank you for remastering this song. It represents a lot of my childhood, I was touched by more listening, it reminds me of simple times when we didn't have as many problems as we have today.

[@FloRiLLAZ]

We maybe have more problems now, but we are our own heroes in our reallife adventure, and we are getting stronger everyday. Like a character in an RPG. 💪

[@PauloGrespan93]

For sure my dear, we get stronger every day. Recent personal problems have left me extremely depressed, but I still see a light at the end of the tunnel and every day we learn from them. That's why when I hear this song, it brings me peace, and better yet, remastered, it may sound silly that it comes from a game soundtrack, but that's what this song is to me. I hope my English is understandable. I'm from Brazil.

[@FloRiLLAZ]

@@PauloGrespan93 I have the same feelings when i hear a nostalgic videogame-soundtrack. And dont worry about your english. My motherlanguage is german. xD

[@khalidfarhan7]

@@PauloGrespan93how are you now?

[@PauloGrespan93]

@@khalidfarhan7 Hi, thanks for asking. Today I feel like I got rid of depression, I go to therapy every week, of course I have some bad moments but nothing compared to 2 years ago, I'm grateful for the good things and the bad ones too, because it's in them that I also learned to be stronger, I hope When you read this, everyone who is going through a bad time, serve as an example that things always tend to get better. Good things happen. Peace

[@ThePinkOne]

This is such a beautiful song and it gets even better when the percussion kicks in, this is a great remaster!

[@SimplyTakuma]

Its alsways impresses me the transition from floating slow feeling music to fast tactful vibe and drums, and all fits together in one music!!! Thats a masterpiece there and i think i never hear a track in other games like this way.

[@ElitesSymphonies]

The amount of love and effort put into this remaster is something i really appreciate. It gives you such a dopamine kick to make and release things like this. And that's what this channel gives on a daily basis. I couldn't be more happier than being apart of it. Thank you again. Brick, You've been an inspiration to me and everyone else on the internet. - Elite

[@Lulink013]

This is my favorite track from SM64. Thank you so much for taking the time to remaster it Daypeecone!

[@mullar]

this is a very nice, lovingly done, remaster of, a very ambient, somber, uplifting, piece of vgm. thank you!

[@DarthBrtt]

For me, this is probably the single most beautiful cue from a video game score/soundtrack.

[@koozmusic]

Ohhhhh snap. I saw the teaser for this as a thumbnail only, just before it was removed... I got so pumped that I had to comment on your most recent SM64 upload with some likewise slightly ambiguous language: "I just had a premonition. There was something I wasn't supposed to... something about a long overdue premiere, tonight, 9/1 @ 1 AM...? Get hyped for the ominous sailor girl who's well-endowed... I'm talking, like... triple-D's. D. D. D. oh how I'm looking forward to thee." Looks like you pushed back it back to later this afternoon. But it's coming today either way! Aww hell yes!

[@shepshepson]

You know that the Yahama keyboards actually have this EXACT sound sample? Well it the voice section for for most of them (I think) there is a voice called "EPiano3" which is one of the extras found at the very end of the voice list usually, and when I tested this voice I immediately thought DIRE DIRE DOCKS then I came here and what do you know, it sounds exactly the same.

[@AMTK317Productions]

Yes, the Yamaha DX7 has that same sample. In its electronic piano voice list, EPiano1 sounds very similar to the Roland JD-990 Crystal Rhodes. Some others do but I can't find out what ones have it.

[@c0zm0s_]

Beautiful, shivers and makes me feel at home again. I honestly feel like this is what this sounded like as a kid man.

I didn't used to like the theme but as of a year or two ago it had become a classic.

it’s cool to think that in the eyes of the people in 1997 that played the game for the first time, this is what the music probably sounded like.

[@McNuuuuggggiiiieeeessss]

People say this about graphics but doesn’t make much sense in terms of audio. A cd soundtrack version of this song existed back then and if you had a decent sound system on original hardware, most people wouldn’t notice much of a difference between this or that anyways.

[@OmnicidalClown1992]

While I have heard that this song was created for Dire Dire Docks, it's still weird that this song is referred to the theme of Dire Dire Docks, despite the fact that Jolly Rogers Bay also has this song. And that level is, usually, the 4th level that players explore.

N is for N-ywhere at N-ytime at all, down here in the Dire, Dire Docks.

[@CoolerFN15]

I really like Mario 64's remastered tracks. For a good majority of the Mario World restored tracks Kondo had the idea that the sounds would be compressed down. However, these tracks you're meant to hear everything, and that's what's interesting to me.
