Moogle! Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 In Mario is Missing, in the Super NES version, each location has a remix/variation of a song from Super Mario World. They're all easy to identify, except the song used for NY and LA, posted, (hopefully without violating the rules) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlzflqOSTdU&safe=active I've never worked out which tune from SMW this was supposed to be. Does anyone else know? It's bugged me for years, and I figured this to be the best place to ask. Incidently, it also happens to be my favorite from the game.

Overflow Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I've played Mario World a lot but that song doesn't sound familiar to me...It sounds a little like a Mario 3 song, maybe the water world theme, but that's all I got :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusK Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Sounds like it might have drawn from the ending theme near the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Barely had a hint of Super Mario World's Overworld BGM theme from :09-:11, but I definitely can't place the theme as being an arrangement, AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogle! Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Glad it's not just me that's having a hard time with this one. I still like the theory that it is the end theme though. I forgot about that. Need to go home and listen to it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 It kinda sounds like the ending theme, but I think thats a coincidence more than anything. Super Mario World, after all, didn't actually have a lot of different tunes - most of its music were variations on the same leitmotif.

Darklink42 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I just now realized how much of Super Mario World's music is the same basic theme done different ways. Testament to how clever Koji Kondo got with the usage I'm going to go with the ending theme. It's not as clear cut as the other city songs, but I hear a lot of similarities between it and this: http://youtu.be/4mNZAZgXYJo?t=1m34s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Most soundtracks use this to some extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he/she knows something, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCT Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Pretty sure it's something original. Cool tune though. -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
