Super Mario Bros. Movie Composer Gives Fans Sneak Peek At 'Mario Suite Part 3'

I don’t know music notes, I need someone to play what it’s like!

Oooh! It goes “doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-DOO”!

I'm really excited to hear the music. Knowing that Koji Kondo is working with this composer gives me hope that it's gonna be awesome

I really hope they make a Video Game based on this movie, it looks amazing

Looks like a Waltz type music judging from the music tempo.

Man cant wait for this movie!

I was reading fast and just saw 'Mario Movie Composer' and 'Sneak Peak' from the headline, and thought we were gonna hear a bit of the film music. Awwh.😫😔

Unless I’m mistaken, the only score of Mr. Tyler‘s I’ve crossed paths with is the Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers Movie. I distinctly remember thinking the music was the best thing about that flick, so I’m totally on board with this project! The recent teaser completely turned around my previously grumpy-grump-negative mindset, and I couldn’t be happier! 😄

Edit: Oh, I’m totally mistaken. I’m definitely familiar with other movies he’s scored. Guess that one was just fresh on my mind. Either way, cool!

@Anti-Matter Nothing there to suggest the tempo, and that’s not a waltz.

@PBandSmelly I saw what you did there. Nice.

I meant to comment it on the article, but I forgot to, but regarding how Keegan-Michael Key improvised a song for Toad, I just remember the last time Toad sang a song. He got turned into a Goomba as a result. Here's what he sang:

“Ain't got no water anywhere, food's bad, so's the air, got no resources, in a great big stupor, all because of the evil King Koopa!”

This is the opening of the Ground Theme from SMB1, just with some extra flourishes.

@PBandSmelly Beep beep boop? Bop? Beep boop beep!

@SlowPokemon It’s the main theme. If you look at the top it’s extra flourishes for a flute and oboe, but the under that the notes follow the standard theme. Though there is a shift in tone on the bottom half of the page.

It starts out high D-D-D-A-E, then shifts to E#-E#-E#-D-A. The underground theme is 3 neighboring notes like E-E-C#-C#-D-D in quick succession.

To come to this conclusion, I’m assuming the song is in the key of C with a temporary deviation to D on the bottom half of the page. However, even some minor keys would still work to give it a sinister twist on the main theme. I’m pretty confident this isn’t the underground theme unless it transitions later in the song.

@Wilforce the “main theme” you’re referring to is actually called the Ground Theme, which is what I said. Also, that’s not a second half, that’s another section of the orchestra. The winds are top, followed by brass, as seen for example here: https://s9.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/d/dd/IMSLP767386-PMLP3203-Prokofiev_-_Andante_from_Piano_Sonata_No.4_in_C_minor,_Op.29bis.pdf

So those staves are all in sync.

@SlowPokemon Sorry, I thought I read underground theme.

This should be fun. Even if I don’t love the movie, there’s a good chance a few of the pieces of soundtrack will be great. So far, the movie looks promising to me, too, though!

Just had a thought: what will the Nintendo production tag play like? And will there be minions in the Illumination tag or penguins or toads or… all of them plus rabbids.

Oh no, why’d they hire Brian Tyler? He did one amazing score on Children of Dune years ago, but everything since has been utterly forgettable and mediocre. They had to bring in Danny Elfman on Avengers Age of Ultron to actually add in Silvestri’s Avengers theme and pep up the action music.

as long as Chris Pratt is still doing "that" voice, I couldn't care less about this movie. they knew they needed to get just a couple things exactly right, and that was one of them! what a shame.
