[@picklepotato666]

I appreciate the effort you put into the onscreen track list.

[@TheCartridgeTwins]

Thank you!

[@11shoopdawhoop]

Agreed! It looks really nice.

[@GamingSpreeMX]

We all do.

[@nikopeponis9885]

Yeah it’s great!

[@RustBot42]

I'm here for the LongBoy.

[@sr2172]

I use to just stare at the cover of this game. So much going on, my teeny little mind couldn't get enough of it.

[@dynamicdave2647]

It is a well drawn cover

[@alphalax7747]

So much that only now i realized there are 3 marios in it

[@SantiagoNguyen-vk3fo]

So relatable😂

[@harrypratt9637]

Same here

[@CheeseDanish85]

Yeah man. The cover art was like a whole story told in one picture.

[@jac2park400]

I remember the "pyramid"/second stage music blowing my mind when I was a kid. Even by today's standards the music in this game has great melodies. I make music as hobby and video game music has been inspiring me my whole life...

[@antonionoctifero-digitalar4357]

That music grew up and became this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5bHk6eLnpyMjdE

[@drzerogi]

I dont know what it is about the pyramid song, but it always pops up in my head once every few months. It's fire.

[@huetv8840]

Facts bro

[@Josh-oc2kh]

I agree!

[@malb.4107]

This song has remained in my mind in perfect clarity my entire life.

[@fpsgrind3512]

Imagine being tasked with game music for a gameboy game and then making something this iconic. The industry today is full of talented people, but the people who made shit like this, with what they had at the time, were pioneers of the field.

[@rez9386]

Yep.. creativity and imagination were most relied on. Where as today, technology is more relied on almost.

[@Shadowmage72]

Video game composers are so underrated, both the Japanese and also Americans like Jeremy Soule. I don't understand why video game music is seen as a "lower" art than other music

[@Starsurfer1988]

I love the fact that the composers managed to give the appropriate feeling to each level (Egypt, China, etc.) despite the limited choice of tones at that time.

[@kevincoatsworth]

6:00 is 100% pure nostalgic happiness

[@DaBish21]

Such a great tune

[@miguelangelsantanalopez3552]

Oh My god nice song

[@bramos304]

A real banger

[@red7062]

That fukibg map is so Hard when i am child XDXDXDZS

[@robertfrost6421]

Very care free vibes, easy to follow melody, infinite repeatability

[@richyred123]

Hearing this, especially world music 3, reminds me of the day I almost decided to end my life, life as a child for me wasn’t easy. We dealt with money issues, health issues and just a lot going on. I remember my parents didn’t have money to buy me the latest game console or anything new, but I remember my dad coming home from work and him handing me a Gameboy and this game. I was 8 years old it was 2008 so this game was already old but I remember just playing it and being so grateful to have a dad like him. I never cared for new stuff but this really was the day that brought me into gaming. Now we’re living a good life and everything is going well.

[@SnifflyWhale]

Even though it's so simple by modern standards, I think this one is my favourite mario game. It feels like no other game in the series, and of course the OST is just fantastic.

[@Snurrbulle]

agreed

[@pcarebear1]

I still "beep" along to the first song in my head, I can't believe I remembered it after 25+ years :D 😊

[@MakimaSimpCults]

Trust me we will never forget our past of these beautiful old games music. Our mind might forget some, but our hearts never will. I played lots of games from the late 80's until now and own every systems that ever came out and I still miss the days of NES, super Nes, Gameboy and Sega.

[@ChattyCinnamon]

That’s a really cute way of putting it lol ‘beeping’ along to it 😊

[@06kikas3]

First song is full nostalgia for me, one of my first games ever.

[@notahooper]

No fr this shits a hidden gem only real ones kno

[@7ruthVVizard]

@@notahooper fr, this and kirby's dream land absolute hidden gems.

[@kamikaseiken5774]

Yes the first one is my happy place

[@ChesterFish]

In a few notes it's instantly 199X and I am in the backseat of either parents car.

[@schefmar]

The Ending brings back memories. 45 mins of game play to get this special melody.

[@TheCartridgeTwins]

And such a fun game!

[@JULEMANDEN99]

45 min you mean 2h 😅

[@cutecoots]

@6:00 best track if you ask me. Sometimes I randomly get this sound in my head..

[@geordiemack4143]

That's exactly why I'm here. Absolute banger!

[@MisterMajister]

Same!! and it always takes me a while to remember what game it's from, lol!

[@Eesaffa]

Me too

[@boltonrb]

Considering the technical limitations, this really is one of the best OSTs of all time.

[@moshingsafely]

The first time I ever remember truly appreciating video game music was when I plugged headphones into my gameboy in 1990 or so and just vibed to "World Music 3" for several minutes

[@marybethbizzle]

YES!!!

[@BowTieExpressKirby]

Instant smile on my face :) Brings back great memories :)

[@8r0ck]

Ending & Credits is beautiful :)

[@19AGJ86]

It's pure innocence.

[@CosyMatt]

Then it’s followed by the fucking pipe room music lmao

[@Sweet_2D_Volcano]

It's alllmost "Telstar" but not quite. Anyway, it's up there with DuckTales' "Moon Theme" for me.

[@shashisukhai435]

I remember the moment when i finished the game. How proud I was of myself..the ending music i loved it. the feeling of accomplishment!

[@GardevoirBoy]

At first glance, Daisy was a surprising character. Back in the 90s, we had no idea Daisy was different from Peach, but it was the truth. That was, if you weren't living in Japan. We didn't know how to handle her back in the 90s only because we couldn't tell how she was different from Peach in her earlier appearances. Daisy looked too similar to Peach in her earlier appearances, the localizers and gaming journalists didn't know that Daisy and Peach were different characters to begin with until the 21st century.

[@Maelael]

try beating the game twice, then set up a hardcore run on 4-3 with only 3 lives and see if you can beat the level

[@joelamaster7200]

I actually heard this theme on SMG4 videos when the video ends, and I had no idea it was actually THIS soundtrack!

[@TheUltimateMarioandMeggyFan]

*yes it is. SMG4 used it as a outro at the ending of his videos and btw it's almost 35th Anniversary of Super Mario Land releasing in Gameboy (1989-2024)* *btw here's my Pros and Cons about SMG4:* *Pros:* *- My #1 Favorite SMG4 Characters is "Mario and Meggy Spletzer"* *- My Most Favorite SMG4 Episode of all time is "Mario Reacts to Nintendo Memes 11 feat. Meggy"* *- Mario and Meggy Moments is my favorite in the entire SMG4 Episodes (ignore their sibling/rivalry relationship)* *- the memes are incredibly funny* *- the episodes are likeable and funny at the same time* *- SMG4 and SMG3 Rivalry/Friend Relationship are incredibly funny and great* *- MediExalibur2012 is a fantastic SMG4 GMOD editor* *- the music (inculding the SMG4 Outro) was incredibly amazing* *- the editing, writing, story is great and nice at the same time* *- the voice acting is awesome* *- Mario's insanity and stupidity scenes are incredibly hilarious as hell* *Cons:* *- My #1 Hated SMG4 Character is "SMG4 Peach"* *- My Most Hated SMG4 Episode of all time is "SMG4: If Mario was The Last Man on Earth"* *- SMG4 doesn't making Mario and Meggy (or Mario X Meggy) Videos anymore* *- Mario acting crybaby, manchild, laziness and idiotic in some SMG4 episodes* *- Every SMG4 Episodes has Mario Abuse/Torture in it* *- the pacing felt incredibly slow* *- some SMG4 scenes felt boring and crap* *- Everyone was unlikeable (except Mario) in few SMG4 Episodes* *- Everyone being absolutely mean and hated to Mario* *- Everyone (inculding some SMG4 Fans) shipping Mario X Spaghetti and Meggy X Tari instead of Mario X Meggy* *That's all for everything bye! :).*

[@martinhewitt7918]

This soundtrack list almost makes me cry .. such happy times when you had not a single care in the world ❤❤

[@Markynava777]

This IS one of the best, if not the best, mario melodies in a mario game. Whoever composed this music is a genius. These melodies are earworms that have been in my head for 20 years..

[@RodddPO]

Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka. Also composed Dr. Mario, Mother, EarthBound, Game Boy Camera and some other bangers. Was CEO of Creatures Inc. for over 23 years (stepped down last year) and is all-around a rockin' dude. I recommend watching the episode on him on the Red Bull's game music doc Diggin' in the Carts.

[@alphalax7747]

I cant believe i forgot how much this ost bumped

[@TheCartridgeTwins]

Such a classic!

[@chanceForNotBeingRapper]

this is a rebellious Mario game, new enemies and locations, protagonists even new mechanics, sadly as an initial release of gameboy games it lacks levels but still a pretty impressive one, and glad Nintendo didn't forget the series in some way, naming two of the 3d games into Land series

[@RainLion10]

I feel like 3D Land is its own thing

[@Josh-oc2kh]

I’ll always love this soundtrack. This was the first game I ever owned so it’s pretty special to me!

[@electricshiningkirbyUK]

6:00 this is giving me Nostalgia now 😅

[@AngryGumball]

18:00 - the "fat guy tuba song"

[@ludwigvanbeethoven61]

It is a wonder that such a gaming device already existed in the 80s.

[@marybethbizzle]

The first mario game I ever beat (and I havent beaten many of them) and I can remember jamming so hard to the music!!! even getting some of the songs stuck in my head 15+ years later! Especially World 1 music!

[@TheCartridgeTwins]

Such a great game and soundtrack!

[@susanfit47]

Super Mario Land was my first Game Boy game growing up. I still play it. Brings back memories. I own this game for the Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance.

[@dylanstrife7652]

This music was so legendary- it was the first game I ever played myself as a child. At that time, in 1998, it was already old school technology and my brother left all of his games at home when he went to college. The label art really drew me in like everyone else. It led to my love for Japanese animation and gaming, especially Pokemon, which has by far left the biggest impact on my life period. I also met Veronica Taylor years ago, and visited many Pokemon Centers irl and I have so many other crazy wonderful memories. Super Mario Land made all of that possible, because the next game I played was Pokemon Red when my parents got me a gameboy.

[@isaiahvang144]

Super Mario Land. The game everyone forgot.

[@savaget2058]

For some reason, whenever I get bored, that Pipe Room theme will randomly creep into my head 😅

[@riversart2030]

There is something special about the Gameboy synth sounds, and this soundtrack is one of the best on the system. So good, brings me back to the simpler times...

[@N_R_S_07]

I randomly had track three stuck in my head today 😂 Thanks for putting this together. Soundtrack of my childhood. Bring back some memories.

[@N_R_S_07]

@user-mn6qm6ir6c 100%

[@blastofo]

Kurt Cobain played this game. I bet he enjoyed and appreciated the music.

[@VideoStalker00]

This soundtrack really takes me back to my childhood. That first time I got my Gameboy and booted this game. Good times!

[@bustagroove99]

Road Trips when I was kid were never the same with this 💎

[@erdemmemisyazici3950]

Apparently this was made after the NES version. I always wondered why the console version would be less feature rich than a space constrained handheld version.

[@elinarvaez5509]

I have loved this theme since the game came out.

[@SykoMuffin]

this game has a lot of heart, too bad it’s stuck on a GameBoy. I’m sad Nintendo never acknowledges it. I need a remake with extra content so bad! It would be amazing.

[@TheCartridgeTwins]

Agreed! How is it not on the Switch Online already?

[@horatiosthebestest]

​@@TheCartridgeTwinsIkr. They've even got mario land 2

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Excellent rip of Game Boy music! Most have the music a bit too high-pitched, but your channel has the music exactly the way it sounded on the Game Boy.

[@83kxr65]

Hi I’m daisy

[@TheCartridgeTwins]

Hi Daisy!

[@TorqueEffect]

Some of these tracks did NOT need to go on for 3min x.x Listening to this in my car I was about to pull my hair out with how long the Bonus Game Music section was as well as "Oh Daisy"

[@pyrobison2002]

I lost it, too, listening to them as I napped

I would always try to beat the game just so i could hear the end theme. That was the main goal every time i played this game.

[@chrissims8248]

Thank you for making all these ost available and especially this one !

[@TheCartridgeTwins]

Thanks for listening! :)

[@germ187]

I still remember the fist time I passed this game. I was the happiest kid on earth

[@mjsyts]

This is the first video game I ever owned and this opening theme has more nostalgia for me than the original ground theme

[@digitalmarketinghumans]

World Music 2 got me dancin' like a heiroglyphic. Let's go!

[@earlgrey2130]

Today i had the melody of world 3 in my head all day long (which lead me here to listen to the real thing). Crazy that these melodies still are engraved into my memory after over 30 years. Sitting in my room, playing on my gameboy.. those were good times. No climate change, no war, no bills, no sickness or pain to worry about.. just me and my little plumber that i could make jump on mushrooms. What a trip down memory lane.

[@TheCartridgeTwins]

It is amazing! Thanks for sharing this memory.

[@danivdouro]

Same thing... 29 years ago I played this gameboy videogame... world 3 music still in my mind since then... searching for it on youtube... and here i am... thank you so much. i cried like the child i was... remembering all the good memories passed. God bless you

[@Ronindennis]

I played this game when I was 11. The funny thing is, as much as Wolrd Music 1 feels nostalgic to me today (46), it also felt nostalgic at 11. I remember turning the game on just to listen to this tune.

[@htownmex2347]

Pure nostalgic joy ❤

Don t count how time i finish this game in begening of 2000s..., and in 90s :) Nostalgia :)

[@sanninmusic212]

Before I had a Walkman, I had a Gameboy. I'd get to certain stages just to fall asleep to the music with those big, stupid grey foam headphones plugged in. My poor parents went through so many batteries because of me.

[@johndoe-mv9uo]

I always played this game on my Grandma's old GameBoy at her house when we would visit. It's been over a decade since we lost her but this soundtrack always makes me remember those early memories running around her apartment. I love you Grandma. Thank You.

[@Arkensius1157]

I downloaded this game on my 2DS! And I saved Daisy! :)

[@gaker19sc]

I love how they played around with the stereo so much 😂 I just played the game with headphones and was like "whoa, that's crazy!" I think they used the effect a bit too much, especially in the earlier worlds. It makes it feel like a gimmick. And what also surprised me is that the effect was still here!

[@jjws]

World Music 1 has lived rent free in my head for 20 years

[@JohnnyEscopeta]

21:00 the PRESSURE was real

[@StinkyMonk37]

this was infact, marios best adventure yet.

[@DimBeau]

The ending song is for me the same type of hype as the Moon theme from Ducktales NES. Such great 8-bits music's!

[@skycloud4802]

I loved that the Gameboy games gave us something different instead of yet another Mario vs Bowser. I'd l like for Wario and the alien thing to return as main antagonists.

[@SandroMassarani]

Wonderful songs! Great memories.

[@Radeo]

Back when it felt like an actual achievement to hear endgame music. Spent 150 hours beating Pathfinder: WOTR as an adult and felt nothing compared to beating Mario Land for the first time.

[@TheACcam]

My love for world five music will never fade.

[@notisaacclarke9158]

This brings back memories. That said, I'd say 3 minutes of Pipe Room are a bit of an exaggeration XD

[@lando5296]

love how smg4 has it as their outro

[@TheUltimateMarioandMeggyFan]

*ever since 2013 i think.*

[@briellejoseph]

the first one reminds me of the SMG4 10th anniversary song.

[@TheUltimateMarioandMeggyFan]

*YES IT IS!!!* *SMG4 used this song as his channel's 10th Anniversary Special ever since 2021.* *Super Mario Land came out in 1989 for Nintendo Gameboy.* *SMG4 (SuperMarioGlitchy4 [former name], SuperMemeGuardian4 [current name]) created his channel in February 2009 and released his first blooper in May 2011.* *note: the only thing i like about SMG4 is "Mario and Meggy Moments" so don't judge me >:(.*

[@dylanstrife7652]

The tune that plays at 6min is my fave... it's so full of hope.

[@sharonlowman8806]

When I think of the world, one music from super Mario land, it reminds me of one KZbinr I know SMG4 without that music there wouldn’t be no SMG4.

[@TheUltimateMarioandMeggyFan]

*btw the remix version of this song was used as a outro in SMG4 Episodes since 2013 i think.*

[@tobiasfarragut292]

This Mario is one I’ve never been able to fuck with..if u ask me this is the hardest one to play with the shit primitive 1988-89 technology and pea soup green screen..the heart and soul of the challenge aspect

[@jayearley5671]

About 20 some odd years ago, I traded my playstation for a gameboy pocket, pokemon blue, and this game (and some other Tiger handheld system, but I never really touched it). This has some serious nostalgia value! I remember that first track playing on loop when I would have to stop playing, and finish my homework.

[@Golden31Eagle]

Track 3 always reminded me of dancing in the dark by Bruce springsteen growing up idk why it just does, and whenever I jam to that song I'm reminded of this game.

[@gblademan]

Man this was a time when everythang was everythang

[@GardevoirBoy]

When Daisy first appeared in Super Mario Land, most people were surprised that she was a different character. Her heavy resemblance to Peach in her earlier designs fooled us. During the 90s, we had no idea she was different from Peach because we were very familiar with Peach, and Daisy resembling Peach was what caused people to confuse Daisy for Peach. I'm sorry we caused Daisy to suffer an identity crisis because we knew deep down that Daisy was a different character. We just didn't know how different Daisy was from Peach in her earlier designs and gaming appearances because Peach was well known during that time. I'm happy Daisy appeared in Super Mario Land. It was hard to believe Daisy and Peach were different characters during the 1990s, but it was the truth. I was sad I couldn't play as Daisy during the 1990s because most people were too young to understand Daisy or they weren't convinced that Daisy was a different princess. Back then, we were just too dense to understand Daisy.

[@scmtuk3662]

I'm probably not the only one who has mentioned, or will mention this but, I do think the timings could be shortened, instead of just having them all set to 3 minutes.

The amount of batteries i've wasted playing this game.. 😆

[@GardevoirBoy]

Seeing Daisy first appear in this game, I had no idea she was a different character, but I'd knew it was true. At first glance, most people thought that Princess Daisy was a Peach pretender, but they were wrong. Daisy and Peach are different characters. We had to learn this the hard way.

[@Mitsuraga]

If only Nintendo recognized Daisy's potential.

[@GardevoirBoy]

@@Mitsuraga Even so, Daisy will always be Peach's tomboyish semi-clone with a femme-fatale personality. While she got censored for a decade by Nintendo just because she fooled western society for looking too similar to Peach, Nintendo wanted to make a princess who acts as the femme-fatale opposite of Peach. Daisy wasn't remembered as fondly as she is now because she first appeared at a time where uncensored Japanese entertainment was too much for western society to handle. For America anyway, strict rules were in place because it was to keep children safe from content that many moral guardians thought was too dangerous for their age.

[@Mitsuraga]

What uncensored material are you even talking about? Outside of her one game appearance at the time, Daisy really only showed up in some manga, where her "energetic tomboy" description remained more or less intact, but I wouldn't describe her as a femme fatale archetype at all, and I can't think of anything that really portrayed her that way. Not only that, but it's important to note the team behind Daisy (and Wario, but that's a different topic) was a different group from Mario's usual developers. R&D1 somewhat resented working on a property that was usually handled by EAD, and they wanted to push the limits of what they could change from the usual Mario formula. That's why the environments, enemies, and damsel in distress for Super Mario Land were so different, and why Wario exists at all (again, different conversation). It's not like Nintendo as a broader whole mandated Daisy's existence; she was born out of an inability to break free from the limitations that were set upon the development team. In any case, while I agree that Nintendo may forever see her as little more than an alt-Peach with a tweaked personality, I do not believe that is all she's capable of being. I think she's capable of being utilized so much more meaningfully, and I wish Nintendo would recognize that. Indeed, that was my entire point.

[@GardevoirBoy]

@@Mitsuraga I'm just saying that Daisy, this game, and Sailor Moon pushed the boundaries of how western society couldn't handle Japan being very weird unlike now. When I said Daisy got censored for the 1990s by Nintendo, in terms of video game appearances, she first appeared at a time where many western societies couldn't handle uncensored anime and video games to kids just because it looked too adult and/or violent in the eyes of many moral guardians. Daisy was pretty much a perfect example of when you look too Japanese or weird, it's very hard for international audiences to take you very seriously. When everything from Japan was first brought over to North America and numerous other simple-minded countries, to aim it at little children, normalcy and censorship was the way to go. Sure Nintendo didn't have to be so restrictive on Princess Daisy but she was going to end up like Peach's tomboyish semi-clone either way. When I said uncensored, Japan got away free with weird content in cartoon and video games unlike many other countries. Even so, you got your point across.

[@Mitsuraga]

I don't see how Daisy relates to your point at all, but even without shoving her into that discussion you're trying to have about the disconnect between Japanese media and Western audiences, I find your take extremely muddled. I get where you're coming from, but your argument is overly simplistic and broad.
