It's the New Donk City band IRL

[@sunnyzett]

@AGENT INFERNO I love the thought of that

[@KOBUN40]

Maybe they're now auditioning for a Pauline look-alike for lead singer.

[@raulcazares]

xd

[@CRUSH40RULES]

Now I wish the New Donk City band played other songs as well. Not just the same classic Mario theme, but like every time you walked into the City Hall, they'd play a different song, all randomised, ya know?

[@moisesramirez9654]

Damn is the game already this old that its been two years since your comment

[@petonchiospataponchio366]

3:27 nice Super Mario bros. underground bassline nod

[@a.jogonz]

Where is the bassist?

[@connormangelson]

Watch the pianist, he's doing the bass off the synthesizer

[@andt1994]

I love how the guitar is doing the main theme

[@walmansa]

listen carefully to the guitar lick around that time as well

[@quadgames1334]

Aldo Jofré González underground

[@markjuarez6469]

I love how the bass player uses the Underground theme from the original Super Mario Bros. series as the bass line.

[@idwtpmn6850]

but there's no bass player. xD

[@koacado]

omah nem a jeff? JEFF he's underground duh

[@idwtpmn6850]

Ralu lol

[@idwtpmn6850]

Ralu i get it xD

[@gub4941]

Mark Juarez not to mention the guitar player doing the main theme towards the end

[@aremnantofthepast8732]

This could be the Ending Credits theme to a Super Mario movie.

[@thewarriorrlsh]

We don't talk about super Mario movies anymore

[@Chicklo11]

[@mentelgen3274]

Welll.... Ye but the first Mario movie SUCKS at least there making a new animated

[@MrAskaric]

The bassist is not getting enough love. He is holding the entire thing together and giving it that sweet grove.

[@BlizZ9]

The fact that he's playing 1-2 from SMB1 @3:38. Lol

[@lukahmad5683]

Yoo I never notice that, wow it went so smooth to the chords@@BlizZ9

[@jtd66]

Imagine being that groovy, and offscreen. ( /s )

[@niebl]

2:24 The thing that guy on the left did with his mouth is absolutetly perfect and nobody can change my mind

[@arodoki]

oh yeah what a crazy coincidence!

[@alexjustalexyt1144]

​@@arodokiseems like he did it on purpose cause he already knew what he was going to play

[@arodoki]

@@alexjustalexyt1144 yeah that's jazz 😎

[@purplehatguy]

Of all the versions of this song, and believe me, there are _many_ this in my opinion, is the definitive version.

[@JonathanRiverafrickinnice555]

Same

[@matthewthomson6466]

Sax solo just blew the others out of the water 😂😂

[@GRGE]

That YEE end, lol

[@XQslayer]

Ayy im a fan of your channel man. Keep it up skrillex :)

[@rusticgiraffe4262]

If Mario had a sitcom, this would be the intro, and I’d watch it just to hear this.

[@mccookies3664]

This is not the intro to the Super Mario Super Show

[@marcorivas22]

Man, sometimes I just love videogame culture

[@ninja_tony]

@Logan Yes culture. If you don't understand, look at the definition.

[@OrthodoxyACR]

@Logan Also "the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society." Video game culture does exist. It built itself to something amazing, sometimes weird. Just like every other CULTURE. By definition, it is correct.

[@seaverino5346]

I love how the guy on the saxophone ques his mates at 3:03 that his solo is about to end! They’re all so coordinated. !

[@benbriggsmusic]

this one literally makes me cry tears of joy

[@bryanserrano778]

Ben Briggs same

[@fragger4609]

holy shit didn't expect to see you here Briggs. I love your remixes!

[@OMGrant]

Ben!

[@dubbydub9245]

If this gives you the N64 feels, then go watch Tom Brier play Cool Cool Mountain. 😢

[@JGabrielSportswiisportsgames]

Xd

[@MrMaxim]

You can't just slide 01:01 in that's illegal, damn this is good...

[@Baby_boodle]

What am I missing?

[@iansloan5414]

Atanih23 the sax adds a little rift into the melody

[@frittatasTV]

Eyy didn't expect to see you here! Awesome isn't it?

[@Baby_boodle]

AHhhhh I see what you mean, Ian. That *is* good.

[@AdrianHernandez-dw9vb]

Actually I think what he means is that they changed the bassline to the super mario underground theme. Now that is smooth!

[@jSplat16]

That sax though.... 😗

[@Liquefaction]

Dat bass boi too

[@thegreatzandria]

It’s saxy

[@leftyfourguns]

Something this nerdy has no business being this good

[@kamranki]

And yet it is!

[@Smithy4224]

A song from my childhood which has always felt tailor-made for jazz bands, performed live by a jazz band and featuring the smoothest solos I've ever heard. And to top it off, the album it's on is a punny Miles Davis reference. You gentlemen have earned an instant fan with this number. Keep up the amazing work!

[@SuperSoulBros]

Thanks so much Smithy!

[@RosieSapphire]

This went from Bob-Omb Battlefield to interpretive jazz back to Bob-Omb Battlefield with the Mario Bros underground bassline. Honestly, quite an incredible rendition of the song that I love a lot! :D

[@mistermasterinahat]

This is easily my favorite arrangement of the Bomb-omb battlefield theme from Super Mario 64. The style of the music from the game really fits the treatment it gets from this band's style of jazz/soul music.

[@Phobos_Anomaly]

@HunterwithaMedkit asshole

[@TheDriver458]

HunterwithaMedkit yea

I'm calling now. Nintendo secretly hired these guys for Super Mario 64 HD

[@awesomemercerdude]

We wish.

Wish may have been granted due to the new upcoming rumors on the 64, sunshine, and galaxy remakes

They started to play the meme when the dinosaur sings the yee.

[@blackfalconn]

They have done it at least once per set, everytime I've seen them. They're great!

good jobs from japan

[@ThotBusterNo1]

I always have the stupidest smile on my face when each team member gets a little solo. also that Big Band style made my day

[@JeremySolo]

This song actually makes me emotional. Best time of my childhood was spent playing this game

[@rusticgiraffe4262]

The heart and soul of Mario: The music.

[@TheCreepypro]

how dare you be this good and have this much fun?!

[@darealnukem7775]

I have an advantage over the people that saw it live, and that’s the fact that I can listen to it as many times as I want! Good thing too, cuz this song is WELL worth repeating!!

[@williampamblanco]

...I'd drop by a concert like this in a heartbeat!

[@TheTraumaFactor]

This is absolutely AMAZING, Never lose this fantasstic style... this right here is WHY I subscribed to you guys... LOVE IT!!!!

[@pixxelwizzard]

I'm sitting alone in my living room and I actually applauded out loud after those brass solos. This was so wonderful. Thank you!

[@JamesGore1547]

This song was clearly a part of my childhood. Spent hours playing Super Mario 64!

[@mrs.featherbottom5901]

OMG. QUALITY! Next step: synchronized moves for the horn section! You know it would work.

[@SuperSoulBros]

That is something we have definitely been experimenting with in recent months!

[@mrs.featherbottom5901]

Super Soul Bros. I want you to know how I found out about you: I was watching the Big House 6 smash tournament, and I was expecting the usual uninspired electro-remixes of VGM for pause music. Instead I got these vibrant fusion renditions, obviously performed by a live band of great competence (and with a remarkable guitar player, please give him/her my regards!). I imediately searched your channel out and subbed.

[@SuperSoulBros]

Mrs. Featherbottom Glad you liked it enough to check us out! Some of us are really into competitive smash so having our music played on these VGBC streams is quite the honor.

[@mrs.featherbottom5901]

Super Soul Bros. IMO it's an honor for smash to have such serious musicians tied to our scene

[@nintenjermi5325]

Super Soul Bros. can you guys make gluttony fang in jazz style it would be cool

[@rgentry]

This is one of the very best pieces of content that I have ever seen. I have seen so many countless hours of videos and listened to so many countless hours of music. I'm not even really a gamer. I'm serious. The impact that this video had on me in immeasurable. My day, and perhaps even my week, have been improved thanks to the quality of this video and the excellence of the performers, as well as the writers of the original piece. I cannot tell you how happy watching this video made me.

[@ethanedgington3561]

If Nintendo opened a jazz place like this I would literally move to Japan and go there every night

[@JxzzyFlxmes]

This sounds like it could be a TV show! That's how seasons this sounds!!

Really a great song to hear when my day is off to such a bad start. Thanks!

I swear this is what Mario 64 sounded like the first time I popped in the cartridge.

[@devenbrashear4072]

That saxophone is super smooth

[@slendermanish99]

The freaking free jazz at the end

[@Arceedos]

I wanted to hear that trumpet hit a higher octave around the descending hook but regardless an amazing performance

blessings to whoever did the sound at this show. good lord
