I'm going through the top 20 Favorite Video Game Songs of all time as voted on by my community. This came in at number 13!
Here we are again. Like Gerudo Valley, I've done this one twice before now and this time I really wanted to capture the original better than I ever have. I really leaned into getting all of the parts right and included all of the elements, especially the ones I missed out on in previous covers like the subtle background ska chords. In previous covers, I've opted to take a more metal approach, but I really dialed the rhythm guitars back in distortion to try an only have them uplift the parts rather than be a focal point.
Many of you already know I have been speedrunning this game on Twitch for years and it still remains my favorite to run. I hope those of you who've watched some of my streams will look back at the fun memories of getting sub 20 or sub 1hr, and for those of you that didn't know, I'm currently speedrunning Pokemon Red as of making this video, so feel free to stop by!
This is obviously a very important song to me, having just last year getting a huge Mario 64 Princess Peach tattoo on my right arm because of it's significance to my life. I poured a lot into this one so I really hope you enjoy listening!
Thanks so much for watching! Subscribe if you haven't already and I'll see you next week with the number 14!

This song always feels bittersweet. Like you've reached the end of a wonderful journey, and it's time to say goodbye.

[@RetroFanatic-Trapster2]

It's the same with SMB3.

[@hectorcollazo8845]

​@@RetroFanatic-Trapster2And the conclusion to an epic NES Trilogy, nonetheless. 🙂 Even though part 2 was a dream and 3 was a theater play.

He doesn't get the wing cap for these credits. He gets the metal cap.

[@emmbeesea]

Geez, I remember when your first cover of this was one of the newest videos on your channel, since I started watching you in mid-2012. Having the audio from the stream water in the background was so relaxing. It's incredible to see how much you've grown and changed since then and it's good to see this song here again! (:

[@KHPandaZ]

Yo I found him around this time as well :D. The old cover was always one of my favourites and cool to see him go back to it.

[@Pichudiamond3]

Oh ok I was gonna say I would be very shocked if he’d never covered this one before😅

[@MetalFortress14]

It's funny that your first cover was nostalgia because of the actual game and this one gives like nostalgia throwback to your year first Staff Roll cover :) Amazing!

[@cronolink9]

Can't help but get emotional hearing you play this, NGL. This was the very first cover of yours I ever saw. It was and still is great, but it's even more great to see how far you've come and how much you've improved. Beautiful, really. Stellar work as always. Thank you, Mario.

[@dulio12385]

Man adding that Ba-Bomb Battlefield Reprise to break up the song's monotony is a stroke of pure genius. Whenever I hear Kondo's Original I always half-expect it to pop up at the end because it fits just so perfectly.

[@GreenDraco313]

Thanks for uploading this on my 31st birthday. I was 4 years old when I got my N64 in 1996 and Super Mario 64 was my first ever video game

[@XxThePh4ntomxX]

Koji Kondo was an absolute genius

[@JeremyThille]

You mean is... still

[@NowOnAFM]

What a way to celebrate the n64’s 27th birthday! Amazing job as always. The credits theme doesn’t get covered as much compared to other Mario 64’s tracks.

[@OttoRoesch28]

A nice nostalgia trip back to the winter of 1996 being a kid 😊

[@carlcarl167]

Your first cover of this song holds a special place in my heart, as it was the song I listened to on my walk home from high school graduation. Thanks for breathing new life into this wonderful track. Cheers!

[@Revegelance]

Man, this song is peak nostalgia. It feels like going home after a long journey. This cover is truly beautiful, thank you, Jules.

[@SgtBaha]

This takes me back years ago to listening to your top credits themes medley. Between Wind Waker and this, I was sobbing endlessly. Those songs are so special, and you poured so much love and care into performing them with all the emotion they carry. And once again, you've brought me to tears. Thank you, Jules

[@321SPONGEBOLT]

Mario: Thank you so much-a for to playing my game! (Retire in peace, Charles Martinet 1994-2023)

[@Mitch7297]

The many many playthroughs of this masterpiece topped off with this beauty of a cover you've outdone yourself as you do so often

[@CroneoRegion]

I've had a long day of job hunting, and I've been quite productive. Not only has this been the perfect coda to that, but it's giving me hope for the future too :)

[@Andriu-eh9sg]

A history ends, an evil plan was foiled, a princess was saved, and a plumber-man is exhausted yet happy. A perfect theme to end the journey, as you, the player, look at how well you did throughout your journey both through thick and thin, also enjoy your blister in the palm from doing so many spins ;).

[@VicTheMetalDrummer]

I always, always cry when I hear this song, and this cover was no exception. Integrating the main theme at the end brought all the tears to my eyes. Amazing.

[@FurbyTime]

The SM64 credits music always hits amazingly!

[@aniki91344]

Yo, that last part where you mashed up the Bob-omb battlefield music almost had me faint, like the music was already hitting me in the heart, and that bit just made my brain explode into space...

[@mcintoshpc]

The friggin Windows 98 screensaver Well played sir

[@moebiwan6556]

All I can see are the YEARS of speedruns you did for this game whenever I hear this. That, like this, was awesome from beginning to end.

[@wilddrake9257]

The Staff Roll tune is probably one of the most triumphant sounding songs I've ever heard...and you just turned it up to 11 for this cover. You rock, Jules!!

[@GenEricStudios05]

That final beat comes in at 3:41, so if you start playing this at 11:56:19 on the 31st, you can get a perfect end to the year.

[@JaydensUniverse]

just did it thank you for the idea

[@megarotom1590]

Wouldn’t that be the start of the next year?

Come one, everyone. Let’s bake a cake…. for FamilyJules.

I remember when this was the ending of your last Top Ten video. This is making me kind of emotional.

We look back so fondly On your voice, O Martinеt! 0:55 We won't forget all the good timеs we've-a had Saving the princess of-a mushroom land! [1:13 Chorus: Mario, Waluigi, Luigi & Wario] Charles Martinet, you're a legend Hold the torch up high, we celebrate your career! And even though an era comes to an end All the hearts your voice has touched will still give a hearty cheer! [1:31 Verse 2: Chorus, Luigi, Waluigi, Wario, (Backing Vocals)] You gave us endless inspiration For the fans growing up-a hearing you (Hearing you!) Go-karts and-a mansions-a you gave-a life So we'll never forget, that much is true! (And as our games continue) We'll remember what you gave us All the games that you voiced that we played Spread the joy of the plumber For the dawn of a new day! 2:07 Our lives would-a not be the same without-a you You showed us fun with the plumber crew!

[@Jesse_69420]

I salute to you and Charles Martinet!

[@asliceoftoast9131]

this is the kind of music that completes a credits scene credits scenes alone are already nice and all, some show you your journey and what you managed to do, others just celebrate you beating the final boss/level or similar, and some just play nice music that makes you almost tear up, and perhaps even remix music you heard earlier in the game in the end, all credits scenes and themes are awesome

[@KrazyKunoichi]

Awesome. Been waiting for a cover of this. Sealed and delivered! Such a perfect theme for wrapping up a meaningful experience

[@TripleBMusic]

Wow, much nostalgia on so many levels. Especially the Windows 98 logo on your third screen!

[@Greenery42]

A part of me hurts anytime I hear this song. lol Great rendition!

The music that plays when a freebooter gets taken down

[@AlanCS1104]

One of my favorite Mario songs and this is a great cover of it. Amazing job Jules!

[@Parrexion]

This one's such a classic. I knew this was going to show up on the top 20. I can't remember how many times I've gotten this song stuck on my brain. It so hummable!

[@RprSonic]

"Thank you so much for playing my game!"

Jules, this was my favorite cover of yours over 10 years ago, it brings back some good memories. So glad you're still shredding and having us along for the ride!

[@vfaulkon]

Thank-a you so much for playing my game! Oh, uh, and this track too, thanks so much! :)

So much nostalgia. The game itself and now the memories of your older covers of this song, coming full circle with this one.

[@maliguy5252]

I love your style and the love you put into your guitar covers. Keep up the good work!!

[@Danny_Fathom]

this is just perfect. close to the original, with the overworld solo at the end. Just utterly incredible

[@Fizzlehound945]

Love this theme, was the first end credits theme I ever got to hear. Always get an emotional rush hearing it, massive waves of nostalgia coming from this one. And the Windows 98 screen in the back is a nice nostalgic cherry on top for the era when this game was in its prime. Very well done Jules, thanks for pleasing our ears as always.

[@bluemario610]

ngl whenever I hear the staff roll in metal, I always think of Super mario bros Z credits animation and that hits me with so much nostalgia

[@tdark987]

3:02 I never imagined I’d hear SM64’s main theme set to the chords from Pachelbel’s Canon. The only thing more surprising is that it actually works. O__O

[@matthewauleyhill7813]

While listening to this extremely good cover I think I realized why this song has a special place in my heart and my mind. I was 9 years old when me and my brothers got an N64. It was our second console, after the NES. Which means, I think, that Super Mario 64 was the first game I ever actually beat. No wonder this song just randomly appears in my head from time to time.

[@MrThomas20121]

this is one of the best credit theme. glad you covered it!

[@UltraNurture]

The nostalgia is strong with this one, this was the first cover I ever heard of yours. Great job as always!

[@MrMan_01]

Thank-you so much for to playing my game!

[@SorandaGuitar]

I remember when you first covered this theme, it was more than 10 years ago... I absolutely loved it. Today, the nostalgia is still as strong when I listen to your new cover. Plus, this cover has the Bob-Omb Battlefield theme in it; it was totally unexpected, but it fits so well. Congratulations!

[@dingleberrymore9725]

[@ryanbeck5014]

This is such a classic Mario end credits song, this would be a nice homage to Charles Martinett of being the voice of Mario🫡🫡

[@capitalistbob69]

I was too young to get a chance to play Super Mario 64, but weirdly, this song still makes me feel nostalgic.

[@DeviDoesNothing]

god I cannot get enough of this fucking remix this might be your best one ever (which like yes I am phenomenally biased since this is my third favorite video game song ever but also you really did translate it to metal perfectly while keeping what I love from the original plus the added Main Theme segment is so fucking perfect I love this remix to death tysm for making this)

[@RevolutionDude]

This is nostalgic to me for 2 reasons. First for your original cover, how could one forget! Secondly because I remember the day I first heard this song in-game after spending all night as a kid trying to beat Bowser. This song will forever be cemented as a core memory for me.

[@HyperCole]

So many memories of the sub 1hr and the sub 20 runs. This is so beautiful, Jules.

[@JackTheDripperr]

idk why this gets emotional for me. i remember hearing this or something similar in your PB record in one of the SM64 runs and man, seeing you guys hug just teared me up lol btw this sounds insane, keep these tracks coming man, love ya!

[@jahnreznov]

Damn man, this song brings back memories... i remember you covering this a while back too. Youve grown so much over the years, Jules.

[@7ime7one]

Hearing this at the end of the full “Top 10” playlist is always so bittersweet 🥹

[@joostoboy]

Man, this takes me back. Your first cover of this felt like like such a finale to the channel to lil 12 year old me, only for you to still be making covers when I'm now twice as old. It's insane.

[@slamdunkgator915]

Damn, i still remember when you originally covered this song the first time. I had found out about you through CSGuitar89 back in 2011 and you have blossomed since then.

[@ravenvd3444]

This takes me back to watching your runs of the game be uploaded onto the Jules Conroy during the pandemic. They were always a highlight for me and gave me something to laugh about in those times.

It's just incredible🥲
