A Super Mario orchestra concert has been announced for Japan, scheduled to take place this September in Nintendo's home city of Kyoto.
The show is called ‘Koopa is the Protagonist!’, referring, of course, to Bowser who is known as 'Koopa' in Japan, and will be taking place at the KYOTO CMEX 2018 on both the 15th and 16th of September. The performance is set to include a number of classic tunes from our favourite moustachioed plumber's greatest hits including Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Yoshi’s Story, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Odyssey.
We've seen orchestral concert performances for other top Nintendo franchises like Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions and The Legend of Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses arrive in Europe and North America in the past, either as standalone shows or small tours, so we'd love to see this Super Mario concert follow in their footsteps.
If you're lucky enough to live in Japan, or happen to be in the country at that time, you can grab tickets for yourself from this link. Tickets are available starting from 8,500 yen (approx. £58 / $76).
We can already imagine the majesty of Gusty Garden Galaxy being played live. Is this what Heaven feels like?

Looks like I'm going to have to sell some organs...
Well, I am lucky enough to live be living in Japan... would be rude not too!
Yoshi's Story instead of Yoshi's Island is a curious choice.
And the lack of Super Mario Sunshine is disheartening, Delfino Isle's plaza theme is incredibly memorable.
I'd love to go to this if it ends up in the UK.
@RupeeClock correct also pinna park was great to the ear
@dazzleshell Ditto! Did you got to the Zelda one? I went three times... not even sorry.
I couldn't afford those at time -hoping to go to a future Zelda one too. I know it would give me goosebumps. I wish they toured the UK though as I'm in Newcastle. They always stick to London.
@RupeeClock The Zelda concerts always had surprise arrangements from games not advertised (Like Link’s Awakening) maybe Sunshine would make a secret appearance which would be very fun!
This will be glorious!
No Sunshine? An odd decision.
If it's anything like the Zelda concert, I would love to see it!
(Strike-through implied): Please make a Xenoblade concert someday, even though I know it will never happen...
Hope it comes to Boston someday... I'd love to see it at the Hatch.
@Richard_Atkinson I've be been 4 times, myself. The first time nearly brought me to tears as I was so proud to see how far the series has come and how everyone there seemed to really be enjoying it. Oh also I got a ton of Street Pass hits
Omg I have to hear Mario Galaxy in full ensemble!
