- The Mario series has no shortage of beautiful music - Gusty Garden Galaxy, Dire Dire Docks, to name a few. But today, I want to talk about my absolute favourite Mario song, along with how it came to be. Let's take a look!

Super Mario Galaxy's music doesn't really fit Mario.
It fits Mario IN SPACE.
Living Infernus lol
Mario in SPAAAAACE! Featuring Mario, Luigi, and... uh, space stuff! (Pigs in space)
Oh so true
GetMadz?
it fits the wide variety of places you can find across the universe, each being distinct and unique, though all somehow tied to a something that connects them
Just imagine how weird Mario galaxy would feel if the soundtrack was just normal bubbly, bouncy music
meanwhile in an altername universe: "imagine how weird Mario galaxy soundtrack would feel if the soundtrack was just grandiose, orchestral music"
ikr, thats just a good chunk of the 2nd game's soundtrack
It would be awesome if they used an orchestra for EVERY Mario game
@@TheRealMichaelMyers-p4e i like the normal soundtrack vibe it has, but galaxy is just special
New super Mario bros main theme 😂😂 .

Second video game I every owned after Mario kart wii
I love Nintendo
Well, mine was 8 deluxe and Odyssey
@@Litchy51 you must be pretty young to have gotten your first video games on a console that released just 3 years ago
@Wi1dCard Actually right now I’m thirteen, I got a switch just two years ago, in my younger years I grew up on mobile like Angry Birds and Pvz
@@Litchy51 oh yeah smartphones and tablets really took off around the late 2000s / early 2010s. When I first got into gaming, the only mainstream ways of playing video games were through dedicated consoles (pc games existed but consoles were definitely much more straightforward- steam didn't really take off until around the same time as smartphones)
So I guess you're not entirely wrong in saying Odyssey is your first video game, but for me the literal first time I ever entered the world of interactive media was through a wii and Mario kart
I gotta give you props for actually playing the piano. You're still such an underappreciated channel and I can't wait for you to get to 100,000 subs or more!
Haha, thank you so much!
If his subscriber count keeps exploding like it has in the last 24 hours, he might hit that within the week!

I totally agree! He has become one of my favorite channels ever since i saw one of his videos!
This reminds me of when I was a kid
“It’s not cute, it’s COOL, Grandma!”
My grandma actually was quite the gamer, and very competitive! I couldn't believe it when my parents told me many years later!
Since someone's gonna comment it, here's the timecode for the song itself: 5:39
You’re free to jump there if you really want, but I’d encourage listening to the story behind it first. Ultimately, you’re the boss, though!

Lumas theme made me cry when I was little so many memories
I’ve always preferred Space Junk Road, but Luma’s Theme is still a beautiful song!
Nah bro, the entire video is amazing. It's worth watching through!
I absolutely agree that Luma's theme is among the best, but whenever I play it, I always include the sad story portion. It just doesn't feel complete without one or the other to me.
I like more the Luma's theme reprise, when the supernova happens at the end of the game. Watching thier sacrifice broke my heart and made me cry more than one single time. That videogame is proudly part of my childhood.
I regret never finishing it as a kid.. It was too hard for little me
that reprised version is called "a wish" if you're wondering
Can we just agree that the entirety of the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack is a masterpiece
I'm going to hecking cry help I need galaxy 3
Hell ya
Word. Didn't realize how the music came to be though.
dude 786 Absolutely
ye.. but.. mah sonic unleashed
I almost cried after listening, because of the memorys, the story, the sadness and happiness...
*And you did it too*
I'm not crying, you are.
Galaxy was a remarkable game. The Wii is really where the New Super Mario Bros. series really started to stagnate the brand, and Sunshine was successful, but not quite as beloved as 64. It was the right time for a new game, and Galaxy was a graceful reinvention of the traditional 3D Mario format - the planetary gravity shaping a slower, more accessible movement style. Looking back at the Sonic franchise tripping over their own two feet on reinventions every few years, you really have to respect Nintendo's design prowess.
The music was great. The orchestral fare really gave outer space a grandiose feel. Williams-esque. It also is, in my opinion, the loneliest Mario. Rosalina's Storybook is some heavy stuff, and it's a bit of a shame that that depth of character and story never really came back to the franchise. Once you understand what the storybook is hinting at with the Gateway Galaxy, in particular, it's quite a gut-punch to return to that area. There's quite a lot of content in Galaxy that's about distant guardianship, and how space is simultaneously beautiful, lonely, empty, and incredibly primal and chaotic.
Anyway, my favorite songs from the game are Gusty Garden Galaxy, To the Gateway, and the Comet Observatory. Galaxy is a great work of art.
This is brilliant write up! I totally agree with everything you said - Nintendo needed some kind of Mario shake up, and Galaxy provided that brilliantly (+ had a brilliant story, soundtrack and visuals to boot!) Now, I definitely have a strong soft spot for Odyssey, considering it was my first 3d Mario game, but its story is nowhere near as touching and beautiful as Galaxy's.

I couldn’t agree more. This is actually my favorite song of all time, especially with my emotional attachment to it. I remember playing Super Mario Galaxy when I was young, and this song is not only just a beautiful song on its own, but when you combine it with the nostalgia I have with the game, I tent to well up and sometimes even cry every time I listen to it.
My favourite theme is
Space junk galaxy...
Come on for a planet made of trash the music is wonderful
The song is calming
Fact: it helps me do my homework

Super Mario galaxy 1&2 music is severely underrated.
TurboniumAlt ur right
TurboniumAlt what? I’ve heard a lot of people call it the best mario soundtrack. Pretty much everyone who’s played the games agrees that the music is fantastic.
It's not underrated at all its great and everyone knows its great
especially 1
Nah people just think odyssey has a better soundtrack, and holy shit they are wrong
When you started playing Luma's theme, it literally gave me chills. I was working on something on the side while I was listening but it still took me right in. Beautiful...
I always thought the Luma theme was the most beautiful song of galaxy's soundtrack!
Agent Sanic The Memer I love the luma theme soo much but I love space junk galaxy’s music better.
Space Junk Galaxy: aM i a jOkE To yOU?

How does it feel to be so wrong?
I was so ready for it to be this one lmao. While lunas tune is melodramatic and nostalgic and regretful I prefer the piranha plant lullaby to get me in my feels
>:o
Lumas theme is the only music I liked out of any Mario soundtrack because it was peaceful and it reminds me of my childhood so even right now I’m crying to this day of how beautiful it was🤧
Because of Lumas theme I want to live in an eternal state of peace, just floating and listening to that
Dire dire docks is my favourite
Mm, I like that one a lot too - it gets a bit drum-y later on though. You start off listening and you feel all relaxed, and then BAM! Drums.
@@ThomasGameDocs technical its called jolly roger bay's theme because it's the first time you ever here that song
@@what3648 right? Like it plays in every completely water themed stage, jolly roger bay is the first one where you encounter it.. So why is it literally called dire dire docks?
@@justinjagt7633 the government is hiding the truth about it
@@justinjagt7633 that's the name Nintendo gave it for the soundtrack, because the first water level designed for the game, and hence the level in mind when composing that song, was Dire Dire Docks
all mario music is so nostalgic on top of it being such a great series i really wish that Nintendo also made songs for more than video games
My favorite theme in the game is actually Gateway Galaxy... I don't know if many people talk about that one, but I'm pretty sure I listened to that song the most out of the entire OST.
Dude, you’re really good at the piano! How long have you been playing?
Thanks! I'm trying to think how long it's been... Quite a while, I think - at least 7 or 8 years, I think. I haven't had actual lessons though for 3 or 4 years, nowadays I mostly just play by ear for fun (like in this video)
@@ThomasGameDocs Playing by ear is so much fun because you always end up with your own elements in it!
Autumnal Blake
Yep,I’ve done it for what feels like 3-4 or 5 years now playing by ear
@@blakemorris1300 Indeed, I see all these people, stop playing their instruments around me, because they feel/are forced to take lessons and just practise hours trying to learn a piece by reading notes and often they stop because they feel forced. Ofcourse, lessons can get you very much knowledge and good technique, but for me, I play when I want to, can't even read notes cause I never spend the time. I watched a ton of youtube videos and learned a lot about music theory, and just improvise absolutely everything, almost never do I specifically try and learn a specific song, instead I will just make stuff up and play and figure the songs I like out myself in my own way. Now, I get how useful sight-reading is and that I should eventually learn it as it is just very handy to be able to sit down and learn a piece that way when you're good at it, but I just like to improvise anyways.
This game's soundtrack literally makes me wanna cry. It's one of the most memorable games I've played and still enjoy playing to this day. Unfortunately, my Wii has officially died so I can no longer play the sequel. But, I'm so glad that the Nintendo Switch now has at least the first one available. Along with Mario Sunshine and Mario 64 of course!
This is the theme that represents the difference between Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. While the sequel has more polish and better gameplay, the first is infused with so much heart and soul.
THIS!
Well, mostly yes, luckily galaxy 2 did have some very atmospheric galaxies as well
Cosmic cove galaxy
th-cam.com/video/AlIdlrlv6Ak/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=GilvaSunner
Best theme of both galaxy and galaxy 2 in my opinion, also one of the best galaxies at the same time.
Your vids have been consistently recommended to me this last week and I’m glad I finally clicked one. Great, informative stuff, props on the beautiful piano playing as well
Is there anywhere to listen to the original "cute" theme that he composed? I'm curious to hear it!
I believe that was good egg galaxy what still got accepted not sure tho
@@chadihamidi3572 No, Good Egg Galaxy was the one that Koji Kondo composed
@@adiazrue5776 yeah but got first rejected for being too cutr
@@chadihamidi3572 No seriously it's not Good Egg Galaxy lmao. The "cute" theme wasn't used
@@chadihamidi3572 Not to be rude but personally Good Egg Galaxy doesn't seem cute, in fact, as Thomas stated, it was the one that did get exceptes
I really hate myself so much for revisiting what was once my favorite game and just finding it "good" now. I wish i enjoyed platformers as much as i used to...
But that’s completely fine. Tastes change and at least you can look back fondly of the game and still appreciate it but may be in a different way then you used to before.
Now, you can appreciate it for the depths of the storyline, such plot depth was never seen in a Mario main title and wasn't seen again.
Not only was the luma's theme such a beautiful song, but it also captured the story and the sadness behind it
Oh my god, hearing you play it was beautiful. I almost geared up of how nostalgia it was. Recently I replayed the game and finished it (for the first time since I was younger actually lol). Hearing that song play as I listened to the final chapters of Rosalina’s storybook, made me remember my experience of the game. Thank you for making this video.
I think the star festival is really high up there because it sounds both emotional and really upbeat at the same time
why does no one talk about his synthesizer music like the shadow clone and underground remix and smb3 athletic music remix! no one talks aboutit
I think that's because it's kind of standard Mario stuff at that point. It's the silly classic MIDI-styled music you'd expect from a Mario game. They're not bad, they're just... typical.
First thing I heard the song you played so many memories of playing Galaxy when I was a kid flooded back. Really beautiful piece
I was hoping for this song and it's what I got.
Thank you tremendously.
You know what, I had never thought of it, but you’re right, this song is vastly under-appreciated, and it’s a shame it doesn’t get more credit.
Wow!! You're such an amazing piano player!!
Aw, thank you!
Thought for sure it was gonna be Space Junk Road, but Luma's theme is also incredibly beautiful and powerful. Your playing was beautiful as well! And that was a wonderful melancholy rendition of Gusty Garden's theme, too.
After hearing this song again after so many years it sent goosebumps of joy through my spine
Robert Lewis same
So. Many. Memories of this music. And you're spot on. That storybook theme is teary good!!!!
Okay, when I started the video I was thinking It had to be Rosalina's Observatory, or The Luma Theme. I was correct with the Luma Theme. Props to you playing the keyboard, you play very well, the only thing I can play is für elise.
Edit: I can play other songs with one hand, but für elise, and little bit of Rosalina's Observatory is what I can play with two. Again, you play very well and have real cool nintendo videos with an amazing editing style. You totally need more subs!
I hadn't heard that song in almost 9 or 10 years but holy fuck my face welled up when you started playing, good on you for making me cry of nostalgia at 3am in bed Thomas.
Yoo the fact that you commented a bit on the story behind the game’s soundtrack is really cool! I cant imagine what SMG would have been like without the orchestra.
My personal favorite song is the one that plays in the first planet of the game (where you meet rosalina), i think it’s called Gateway Galaxy! :))
The Most Beautiful Mario Song Is The Hotel Mario Theme
That's not TOO far fetched actually, it's an arrangement of a track from the movie Little Women, composed by Max Steiner
@@Plasmariel CDI >>>>>>>>> sh!tty switch
Gives me such a hard nostalgia trip that I’m tearing up
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THE LUMA THEME!!! I love that song and I cry every time I listen to it!
This brought the memory of the first time I saw the sacrifice 🙁.
This was such an emotional game. Especially for Mario...
It's literally teaching you about life and death.
Her mom dying and being buried, the sacrifice, the lesson she gives to Mario that everything will eventually come to an end, but there will always be new beginnings. But nothing will always be the same.
I never realized this as a kid. But replaying it a while back and it was just like damn.
When the violins come in on “the wish” just wow
WOW! your performance on Luma's theme Is stunning and gives to me goosebumps
Luma's Theme always makes me cry. I'm actually crying as I type this! 😭😭😭
Grow a pair
Uno reverse bro why do this? Why be rude.. it’s really not cool if he cried he cried.
@@thereisnopandemic A real man is unafraid to express emotion.
When I was 5-6, when this game was first coming out, I remember crying about the Luma song for how beautiful it was and how I would always make my brother go into the library to listen to it again 😭😢
Woah you play the piano so well
Haha, thanks!
My personal favorite track from Galaxy is Gateway Galaxy, as a kid I spent so much time in that galaxy because the peacefulness of it was so different, it was my own little garden that I could just go to and relax
I would leave the game running without advancing the text for so long during the storybook segments just to listen to the song. I swear if it weren’t for the bright light of the TV I would’ve fallen asleep multiple times. One of my 3 favorite songs of all time.
I’m still confused in the fact that you’re only one year older than me but you’re work so good
Haha, thank you so much! I definitely have weaknesses though (you wouldn't wanna see my drawings!)
Thomas Game Docs It is definitely impossible that your drawings are worse than mine. The hardest thing I can draw is an amputated stick man lol
Oh my gosh!! Why am i crying??? It's so beautiful.
Keep up the good work. Other games vids are stale to me, your channel has been very refreshing since I found it.
I can't honestly say Luma's Theme is my favorite piece of Mario music.... But I honestly have to say that yeah; it's probably the most "beautiful" of the pieces.
That's true, some of the more energetic songs are great too! I love that one single series has both songs like Bo-Bomb Battlefield, as well as Luma's Theme. I love the variety!
@@ThomasGameDocs Agreed :) My personal favorites are usually the more jazzy pieces, but that's perhaps because of my personal musical tastes.
Though a not jazzy but upbeat tune I especially love from Galaxy 2 is Puzzle Plank; one I don't hear too much about typically.
I just relistened to Puzzle Plank and now I have it stuck in my head, haha! Oh, and if we're talking jazzy, I absolutely adore the Staff Roll song from Mario 3d World! Regardless of your personal feeling towards the game, it had a brilliantly jazzy soundtrack!
@@ThomasGameDocs hahaha... Your welcome ;)
Also, the 3D World Staff Credits were incredible; my favorite tune from a game with probably my favorite Mario soundtrack. The game as a whole is rather controversial- I love it, definitely in my top 3 Mario games, but many found it underwhelming- but I haven't heard anyone complain about the soundtrack on all my time on the net. :)
I agree. Gusty Garden, Cloudy Court, etc, are very fantastical and grandiose, very amazing in their own respects. But there’s just something about the simple elegance of Luma’s Theme that I can’t help but love.
If my feelings towards the mario series was song it would be Lumas theme!
THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL at the end omg you play that song really well
I remember racing down to the basement from the top of my driveway after school to play this game till I had to go to sleep. The only other game I have that kind of memory of was with LoZ Twilight Princess. It honestly brings a tear to my eye remembering the music and especially Luma's Theme. You played it beautifully
i prefer the credits theme from mario 64
All credits themes from mairo games are beautiful, even the super mario land one
@@gamermapper correction all the music
but the m64 got that sweet spot
@@weshuiz1325 same
that one was probably the most cinematic feeling one to close out the game
@@gamermapper the super mario land credit music is infamous for being an amazing peice of music tho.
Bruh the song actually made me cry and I never cry. Thank you that’s beautiful. Tears of joy btw it’s so nostalgic I miss being 7 bro❤️
Imo the most beautiful piece of music and of all the series is "Space Junk Galaxy". It's just amazing and it fits perfectly in a game set in space.
You my friend are a fantastic piano player, I genuinely got chills from these piano renditions of Mario music.
No one ever seems to talk about Buoy Base Galaxy, it's a real shame! That song sounds really epic and the dynamic change between the normal and underwater theme makes it even better :O
Oh Luma's theme almost drives me to tears, but the 1, 2 punch of it, and the storybook itself is what makes my bawl.
I disagree, space junk galaxy is the best theme of all time from SMG in my opinion.
@@LeithDaBeef of course, I agree, but space junk galaxy is my personal favourite from the soundtrack as a whole
The best in terms on beautiful sounding, or just your favourite?
@@Srcsqwrn both
I cried at how beautiful the piano bit at the end
Dude he made the best Song in Super Mario Galaxy even better. It makes me wanna cry it’s Beautiful.
This is awesome! I love your accent and as a musician myself, your piano skills are amazing!
Totally agree with this piece deserving more love
everytime I enter the storybook its perfect
Everything about Super Mario Galaxy is so beautiful and amazing, it's a masterpiece. It was my place to be when I needed to feel better after another long day of being bullied when I was in Elementary, and it was an incredible adventure! It will always be my most favorite game of all.
My favorite songs are Gusty Garden Galaxy, Space Junk Galaxy, and Waltz of the Boos, which plays in Ghostly Galaxy's haunted house
To me, the most beautiful piece of the Mario series remains the yoshi's island - ending theme (super mario world 2)
But Lumas Theme and Chanterelles Song are up there too
Your content is really good so far. I am gonna say one thing you kinda looked like you were at gunpoint when you were talking next to the piano. Aside from that, keep up the great work!
whats going on with your hands in the intro lol
He could be shy or something shhh
At 4:20 I heard the world 1 after 120 stars music from number two!!! My fave one
I love how I tapped on this video to listen to a super Mario Galaxy song and not even realizing that I didn't even CONSIDER that it could have been from a different Mario game
This got recommended to me and I am so happy that it was this hit me with a wave of nostalgia
this brings back so much nostalgia omg. my Wii came with the galaxy soundtrack CD (that still works to this day) and i used to listen to it all the time
is this just a subtle way to flex being able to play piano? 😂 jk it's great nonetheless
Before the video started, I thought the song was Space Junk Galaxy. I try not to think about Luna's theme because it makes really emotional, so I 100% agree with this video.
How a 2007 game could bring sadness and happiness is crazy....i will never forget it
I can see that piano cover of Luma's theme as the happy resolution to some anime where the party all split up back to their own lives, one by one, with the greenest grass, the bluest sky, and the brightest sunlight. It's slightly bitter, as the characters may never see each other again, but that's alright. If they ever need anything, the rest are just in reach. There might be narration by the last character to return, but it could also just be the track.
The track that stood out to me the most was gateway galaxy, its just something about that track compared to all the other "tutorial" themes in Mario, its so, calm and quiet, as opposed to loud and energetic.
Wow, the part where you played Luma's theme actually got me emotional
For me, it has to be Green Star from Galaxy 2. It has a combo of instruments and a melody to make it feel really soothing and it has become my favorite Mario song because of that!
Any video with Gusty Garden Galaxy OST is just a try not to cry challenge for me
I completely agree Luma is the best Mario song I've ever heard and it hold a special place in my heart
How did I know it would be Luma's theme from like the start of the video?? Maybe it's just my pure nostalgic admiration, I remember hearing it as a kid and leaving the storybook open for hours because I just loved the song so much. Ngl the only time I've really cried in a game is reading that book.
Thank you man, for giving me this idea to use this music. Thank you with all my heart. Great video!
I cry hearing this song so beautiful
I watched this whole video thinking "if he doesn't say the storybook theme is the most beautiful peice I'm gonna riot." And then he said the words "Lumas theme" and a smile croped over my face.
Video: has any sound in it
Universal Music: C L A I M E D!
I’m getting chills just by listening to the first note
luma is the only song that is capable of making me cry because it reminds me of my grandad, its as if the song is desgined to make you remember your most happy moments in your life and being with my grandad was one of them
Galaxy songs were so mind-blowing, damn. Never thought a Mario game could have BEAUTIFUL SOUNDTRACKS
I don’t remember that 10 note riff in the beginning of Luma’s Theme. It plays in the prologue about the comet, Rosalina’s storybook and during the Luma’s and Black Hole cutscene.
My god, Thomas plays beautifully. I couldn’t help crying a little. I feel motivated to learn how to play it as well.
Good Egg Galaxy used to be my favorite song from Super Mario Galaxy! It even made me want to learn violin for a short time just to play it ahaha
I also really love Dire Dire Docks. 💙
