Super Mario Galaxy 2 Music - Throwback Galaxy

The Throwback Galaxy Theme from Super Mario Galaxy 2. A Remix of the Main Theme and the Whomp´s Fortress Theme from Super Mario 64.

[@Wiizpig]

This was translated as "Nostalgia Fortress" in the Italian version. A perfect fit imo.

[@rotundmonibuv5103]

Same thing in Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.

[@yahiryellow1]

@@rotundmonibuv5103 and is that all? Nintendo is known for hiding secrets in their games

[@kewlsanic]

@@rotundmonibuv5103 in korean, it is more like familiar fortress.

[@catomax26jeev]

Same in spanish, "Fortaleza Nostálgica" which means nostalgic fortress

[@the-LorK]

Oh yeah. I'm Italian and I'll remember that name for my entire life. It was my favorite galaxy, and I played it only for the music.

[@smokedsanjl]

Crazy how accurate this is

[@deleetiusproductions3497]

It can't be coincidence that Mario 64 was released in 1996, almost the exact same gap length.

[@ade1174]

I'm hoping for a 3D All-Stars 2 with 64 DS, Galaxy 2, and 3D Land on the Switch 2.

Playing this level was like meeting an old friend... 😢

[@MacDaddyPrince]

Ikr so true

[@SoggyHotDoggy]

This is one of those songs that NEVER gets old.

[@TheGrumpyOldBear]

When I first started this level and mario was flying through the sky before he landed I was like "Wait what what omgomgomg" The nostalgia hit me hard.

[@giegue6148]

you can tell just how much love and care was poured Into this galaxy by the devs just by the music

[@Kagetora-]

Agreed. The devs did such a good job on this game. The Super Mario Galaxy games were my childhood

[@User13565jk]

[@jordanthemonkey8]

Man the 90's kids got a huge blast to the past in 2010. We got this awesome remix from super mario 64 and Toy Story 3 which we all grow up on. I'm proud of being a 90's kid.

This was SOOOOOO nostalgic for me.

[@tjallan53149]

I was kind of sad about this game's plot not being nearly as good as that of Super Mario Galaxy 1, but this level made every penny I spent on the game worth it- seeing it and listening to this music just made my night and left me in a good mood for days.

[@MaximumSpiderMvC]

If you don't tear up in happiness listening to this song, you're not a human being.

[@Ehecatl-A2083]

I'm a human, are you one?

[@ramusic2480]

Or it's prolly cuz some of us played Galaxy 2 without playing 64 lol

[@FyFanNollan]

Guess I ain’t human then.

[@Kittens.Geography]

I didn’t even play both guess I’m not human

[@lockiidraws]

My eyes literally lit up when this started playing. I was like "Oh my god. They finally did it. They finally made my brain explode twice."

[@stopduty2009]

This..galaxy...is...AWESOME! So many memories. Nintendo, thank you :)

[@aetherguy1020]

I can just hear the memories here.

[@gamerkrill9497]

Talk about throwback, I'm throwin it back to this song all day long

[@DominicTheBombinic]

I want to swing dance to this!

[@davidsadler9563]

[@Windavee]

This is so funky and great. Awesome groove

[@Soso22214]

When I reached this galaxy I screamed of nostalgia! Ohhhhh, I loved how they did that!

[@LANmaster7]

I can safely say that this was one of my favorite galaxies!

[@garrettkidney]

Bloody awesome!!!

[@justaperson3622]

i love this song in both remake and classic :D

[@The0x539]

If I had an AWESOME level editor, an AWESOME orchestra, and AWESOME composing skills, which I sadly have none of, I would make a full WORLD or two or three to do this for every SM64 level.

[@zzyzx0788]

I got excited as hell when I saw this level. Then I heard the music. I nearly shat myself. Nintendo. Thank you for getting your fan base from time to time.

[@kevthedino17]

i just feel instantly happy when i listen to mario music.

[@adrianhdz138]

1:03 "Hey!"

[@SuperStarStudiosPlush]

Those four notes before the “Hey!” sound like a mix between Beethoven and a horror game ost when you play it multiple times

[@lucyinthesky16]

I remember my cousin having it before most people, because he was "that kid" who had all the new stuff before anyone else lol. I just remember running around the overworld and being AMAZED.

[@nemosapien]

I really enjoyed the addition of the guitar in the background and the thumping bass/drums at 0:40

[@PolimarioProductions]

I never played SM64, but I have SM64DS. *Hears this song* *Ravin' mad from nostalgia* Nintendo is working it's magic!

[@TelluriumRobotics]

The fact that this video came out BEFORE the game...

[@SuperStarStudiosPlush]

Wait,… That can’t be true… OH MY WORD YOU’RE RIGHT-

[@goofyfish17]

Bro leaked the game?

[@e-mail4276]

Yes

[@ThunderbirdIV25]

That's true, though I still argue it can be considered, at least partially, a FPS, because most of your weapons (various beams and missles) and the way you view the world (your visor) make it seem like an FPS. Simply because a game is a first person shooter, that doesn't mean it can't have other traits. Borderlands is an FPS, but it is also an RPG.

[@Putuk22]

When I first saw that level and heard this track, I was all like "NOOO! NOOOO!!! Why must you torment me again like you did over 10 years ago?!?". Needless to say, I was horrible at Mario 64 as a kid.

[@CodyRyanWaz]

im am horribile at sm64 more then you putuk

oh memorys

[@joeywomer]

I still think that the music for SMG 1 and 2 is where the games really shined.

[@HLLJR78]

At the end of the day, when all my deeds are done, Its mario who reminds me that the little kid inside will never get old, and nor will he.

[@DrunkenLuna]

...so many memories...

@TheGiocoBrothers So true, this was amazing to experience as a long time fan

[@peterhoeller7811]

Ooooh I never noticed that funky guitar in there

[@alilshotofrhum]

just nostalgic !!!! my favorite game. with Luigi mansion 1 and 2 ......and fnaf !

I smiled when i first heard this :)

Even when I was a kid and had never even heard of mario 64 and I played this level, I knew it was special. Today it's my favorite level in both games.

[@Kurikazu]

i nearly stopped breathing for 5 seconds when seeing the galaxy on the transmission video,i then slapped my face to see if i was seeing things but i wasnt,i then started breathing again and i knew,I have to get this game

[@lamortecerebrale6901]

nice music

[@hihoshortstack]

I almost shit myself when i reached this galaxy. And the music. Oh my god the music. Too many feels.

I'm still vibing to this song in August 2024 ✨😉😎

Most i like in this melody, is the BASS part :) Groove funk jazz. NICE

[@CRAZYGREGFILMS]

This bring back memories when i was 4 years old And im 20

[@16210825]

OMG so this means that the worlds that mario visited in his adventure in SM64 are actually galaxies and he can get to them via galaxy traveling. That makes sense :D

[@RobynhoX10]

The best galaxy in the game!!! Go MARIO!!!

[@WaffleDude9001]

@missHPfan2 God, people do not take gaming seriously. The artwork of some of the best games was featured in the Smith-freaking-sonian. And don't get me started on the music. Nowadays, video games are legit forms of entertainment and social networking. I salute you for your effort and speaking your mind.

[@thefluffyskittlehorse5193]

Oh my god, i remember the first time I played this level on SMG2 and I was raging for like... 2 hours due to the nostalgia attack ;w;

[@HyperSonicXtreme]

It's 1996 all over again, but now jazzy.

[@LittleMichaelz]

I think that quite some people prefer video game music over mainstream music. There's no denying the quality of Mario, Final Fantasy, Sonic and Zelda music. :)

[@MrsBeautiful2O1O]

i can't get it out of my head.

[@ThunderbirdIV25]

Right, I get that. Though there are still parts that have the fast intensity of an FPS. But even so, it's really Nintendo's only FPS. So First-person Adventure, First-person Shooter, call it what you will.

[@RetroGaming-gp2ef]

I never thought in a million year’s I’d see Thwomp fortress from Mario 64 again

[@EpicStudiosUSA]

God this takes me back... *blanks out due to nostalgia flashback*

[@tylermitchell7751]

memories new and old

[@giorgiohsiao9663]

Although Valve and Nintendo both contain some of the best and most creative developers in the industry, I personally think it's more about the fact that both care about the fans, Nintendo never really half assing games and using their imagination to get past the Wii's limitations, and Valve constantly keeping games up to date and fresh with free content.

[@zzyzx0788]

I think I literally almost shat myself when I saw the galaxy and heard this badass music. Nintendo....thanks for figuring out what your fans would love
