This is written well. The composer is well studied in Rimsky-Korsokov (noting the several credenzas similar to Capricio Espangnol, Mvt. 4 Scena De Galla.) We also see elements of Bethovens 5th Symphony in C minor in the strings and brass, as well as elements from Jack Horner's Titanic score in the strings. This is also one of the few arrangements to pull off Oscillente con Luminosita properly - that is setting up swing via dotted rhythms without triplets. This also didnt get trapped in mezzodynamics. That said to improve things a mild bit, we might give a bass melody to a barritone or a high contabass range. Giving melody to low contrabass will usually cause a muddy texture apart from double reeds like a contrabasoon. The other way of doing it would be to give contrabass pizzicato, stacatto, or portato.
My man. New Super Mario Bros. Wii was the first video game I ever played. I would wake up at 5 am so I could play before I had to get ready for school. The amount of nastalgia that this brought can not be overstated. Truly a beautiful piece and it perfectly encapsulated the story of the game, so long as you aren't taking the warp cannons to skip to the end.

I love music, but I admittedly know very little about it. You already left me speechless after hearing your Mario Kart Wii suites and what you have here is no exception. Thank you so much for using your talent to celebrate such a wonderful and nostalgic game and bless our ears! Words cannot describe how excited I am to finally experience New Super Mario Bros. Wii's music in this symphonic form! I like how you managed to fit a bunch of more obscure references into your work. I heard the aforementioned PRESS START 2010 arrangement of the Overworld Theme, Symphony No.9 in E Minor, Op.95 "From the New World": Allegro con fuoco at 12:45, and elements of the @Goatman_Gamer Staff Roll Remix. I also enjoyed how the Castle Theme can be heard throughout the suite, like how a castle always haunts the player at the end of each world. Is there anything I missed? If there is something I would change, I think it would have been really funny for one of those 1812 Overture cannons to play during the Opening Theme when the cannon is supposed to fire, but that's just me being nitpicky. Otherwise, I couldn’t have thought of a better way to end my day. If you managed to read this far, congratulations! You can now play as Luigi!
I’m glad people are catching that LOL. I love Dvorak so much, and I thought the castle theme would be absolutely perfect to reference one of his greatest, most well known works!
