Super Mario Sunshine

[Super Mario Sunshine]

I was very surprised to see Super Mario Sunshine has no mixes. This game had a terrific soundtrack - very tropical, upbeat, happy material, with some serene songs as well. I particularly like this track from the game, Ricco Harbor:

Someone should take advantage of these sources!

I just have to say - first post, btw - that I love this ReMix. I'd say it's one of the most visionary on the site; cinematic, even. It takes what it is a rather bubbly tune and draws its dark undercurrent to the fore. I interpret this mix as something like Bubble Man's slow descent into mania, or a haunting look into his demented mind - it oozes creepy psychosis. In that respect, it reminds me of modern treatments of comic book villains like Mr. Freeze or the Joker, transforming a cartoony villain into a serious psychopath. That's what I hear in this, anyway. I love the transition at 1:05 and then again at 1:15, where a cheery chip tune section clashes with the cold, spacious strings, juxtaposing these two aspects of the villain (a similar trick occurs at 1:54ish and then 2:12). Great work, really chilling stuff; you got a download and a lot of listens from me.
