Super Mario World Ending Theme - Big Band/Broadway Version (The 8-Bit Big Band)

One of my all time favorite video game music classics, here's the "Ending Theme" from the Super Nintendo entry into the Mario's series Super Mario World! The arranging in this piece was already incredible, so I gave it the full jazz orchestra treatment it deserved with some classic big band Count Basie swing, and some uptempo Broadway magic! Be sure to like and subscribe for more!!
HAPPY 35th BIRTHDAY MARIO!
Also just so we all know, this was recorded well over a year ago so no need to have safety concerns!

[@The8BitBigBand]

I've seen a lot of your videos over the years and I think I finally figured out what keeps me coming back. Back when I was a kid growing up with Nintendo games, the music always captivated me. It was fun, it was charming and bubbly and innocent and unique. The memories brought back to me by that music are priceless and they have outlived a great many other memories from my childhood. Your ability to put a fresh, whimsical spin on those same songs is something that returns me, however briefly, to those feelings of childhood innocence and wonder. I know I'm not alone in this, and I just want you to know that the music you all make really touches some of us. It's special.
