    I listened to these jams on (literal) repeat when I was a kid, so here's a medley of themes from "Super Mario Bros.", "Super Mario Bros. 2," and "Super Mario World," all by old school Nintendo composer Koji Kondo. Did the subconscious effects of hearing these songs during my formative years lead to my appreciation of ragtime piano? I don't know but it's possible!

    Ragtime is the sound of all that is pure and wholesome in this world.

      I think it's the only thing in life guaranteed to make me grin like a child watching a magician. I don't think I could be angry and listening to rag at the same time, I'd have to just stop the music, finish being angry, then unpause.
      Helps that it was Nintendo games that made me love genres like ragtime, boogie woogie and blues piano in the first place.

      Ragtime was the music the piano player at any American brothel (and every American brothel had it's own piano and player, almost always a black man) played to let potential customers know the girls were all on their periods so should be passed over, thus the name 'ragtime'.

      Even if I was wearing 'grandpa clothes' you shouldn't insult old people.

    This arrangement demonstrates that the Mario score was essentially already ragtime. This was true of pretty much all the classic Mario games on NES and SNES. Hence why they're so eccentrically bonkers and enjoyable.
