Super Mario Galaxy 2 Music - Throwback Galaxy

[@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.

you do realize this also applies to Bob Omb Battlefield and Tiny Huge Island too right lol

[@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]

Fact

[@greatspaceadventure]

i’m your 64th like :)))))

[@BerdlyGaming]

I’m sitting here being nostalgic over a level that’s meant to make you nostalgic for another level

[@SuperStarStudiosPlush]

So true

[@User13565jk]

Lmao that so true

[@jumentoqueanima]

Lmao. True.

[@DanyRobertHunselar-sq3kp]

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

[@MacDaddyPrince]

Ikr so true

[@the1ringer]

Double nostalgia. What a unique feeling.

[@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.

[@KingdomHeartsFan91]

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.

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

[@PassTheSnails]

Wh- what…??

[@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.

[@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."

[@DominicTheBombinic]

I want to swing dance to this!

[@davidsadler9563]

[@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.

[@KittensGeographyExtra]

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

[@aetherguy1020]

I can just hear the memories here.

[@EEEEEE1337]

dayumm that funky guitar to the left is groovin

[@stopduty2009]

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

[@Windavee]

This is so funky and great. Awesome groove

[@pengiunanimatorguy]

I’ve been looking for this song for literally forever

[@justaperson3622]

i love this song in both remake and classic :D

[@Soso22214]

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

[@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.

[@garrettkidney]

Bloody awesome!!!

[@LANmaster7]

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

[@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.

[@greenavmshorts9335]

Throwback galaxy really throws you back a few years!

[@kevthedino17]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@AdmiralBobbery123]

@VideoGameScrapBook I use that site sometimes! I'm glad that you posted this on the site. I LOVE the soundtrack in this game.

[@Frederikct112]

I absouletely love this soundtrack!

[@_Dr.Edits_]

This music is so good, it's insane haha!

[@LandonBurke-l1n]

0:56 That Baseline though

[@MyouKyuubi]

This theme is brilliant.

[@Nackols]

Seriously! This is probably one of the best songs I've ever heard! It's so damn good!! :O

[@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.

[@Night_birb]

I can't believe this was uploaded around the time smg2 came out 13 YEAR'S AGO

[@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.

[@peterhoeller7811]

Ooooh I never noticed that funky guitar in there

[@nemosapien]

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

[@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.

Then there's the Dee Ess port. With 29 more stars Play as Weegee, Wario or e-ven Yoshi the music has tons of swag no matter where your at whether you are underwater, on the ground or even in a clock *music fades out*

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

[@MrChristopherCourage]

@decklin15 - I could not agree more. I spend so much time being pissed off whilst playing my Xbox and Playstation; it's not what gaming should be about. The Wii may suck hardware and software-wise, but damn will its games stick with me for a lifetime! Nintendo for ever.

[@StrongIntelligent]

@JapaneseMarioLuigi Well fludd was just nintendo's first experiments with the double jump. I think of it as an early version of the spin in Galaxy.

[@winterfisher7868]

The absolute best version of this song

[@Errox025]

I feel something special when I hear this. Oh, yeah! It's my childhood!

[@DontWalkMonsters]

It sucks a lot of kids wouldn't get the same feeling when playing this level for the first time unless you played Mario 64 when it came out.

[@hihoshortstack]

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

Prime IS a console shooter. Metroid Prime 1 and 2 are for the Gamecube, and Metroid Prime 3 is for the Wii. And for the record, I don't actually have anything against Sony, I just prefer Nintendo.
