THE KING… HAS RETURNED
(But Mario Galaxy is GOATed)
Good, a game that deserved to be in there from the start gets finally added. I thought it would just be something random again. Nintendo 64 has gotten some love lately here.
Here are my top five Super Mario 64 tracks.
1. Dire, Dire Docks
2. Bowser's Road
3. The Final Battle
4. Staff Roll
5. Hazy Maze Cave
It's a shame I can't extend Dire, Dire Docks and Hazy Maze Cave, but I'm not surprised they used the OST versions that incorporate the different variations from those tracks. I've listened to Dire, Dire Docks for hours! Looks like I'll have to press the repeat icon...
Nice, always loved the soundtrack to this one. Brings back memories just hearing it.
Super Mario 64 is a great game with a great OST, it took a lot longer than it should’ve to be added, but glad to have it now!
Now we're talking!
@Dev1024 I've personally always been into SM64's end credits music 👌
Good that it's here. It's not my favorite 3D Mario OST but it's still a good one.
Superb. Listening to Peach's Castle now. It could well be 27 years to the day that I played this for the first time. I got my N64 Xmas 97 and I'm pretty sure I pestered my mum to let me play it early.
Almost all of my mates had a 64. The multiplayer sessions were epic. There will never be a generation like that again. Great times.
Koji Kondo composed this OST, if anyone is interested.
Gonna give it a listen next time I work! Always love me some Mario OSTs
Letsagooo.
Staff roll
I woke up today and decided to choose violence.
DIRE DIRE DOCKS IS OVERRATED!
SO IS AQUATIC AMBIENCE FROM DKC!
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.
Dire dire docks 4 ever.
Ooooooohhhh, yeeeaaahhhh!!!!
Talk about a soundtrack I love every single track of! Awesome addition!!!
Slider extended let's go!
Aren't these all on the Mario Switch All-Stars cartridge?
@Not_Soos - Moderators, please remove this comment from the site and this person from the universe, thanks.
/sarcasm
I mean I love this soundtrack but this should have been on there from the beginning. Still waiting for Tears of the Kingdom
I set up Bob-omb battlefield to loop for an hour and by the power of greyskull I WILL LISTEN TO IT FOR AN HOUR.
While I play Metaphor ofc.
@Spider-Kev Hey, you're right! I'll go grab a copy right now from my store!
@CRB1984 Sounds like you're discussing moderation... mods, you know what to do. (Jk.)
Heck yeah! Although, it would have been cool if they included some of the tracks from the DS version, too. For example, the remix of the Isle Delfino theme, which played in a mini-level that was original to the DS version of the game (the room in Princess Peach's castle where you could play all of the minigames).
Some of the best game music ever produced. I listen to it often and it always make me weep with genuine joy and tender nostalgia. Truly magical in every way.
@Not_Soos BLASPHEMY!
Shun the blasphemer! Shun him!
The n64 was a powerhouse graphically, but the lack of a dedicated sound chip meant that it was a real mixed bag sonically, at least for me.
Love SM64 though. The most impressive launch title ever.
Love to see the Mario 64 soundtrack added to Nintendo Music, such a classic - shoutout to the Staff Roll, a track not as often mentioned/referenced as Peach's Castle, the Main Theme, Dire, Dire Docks and so on (not here though, glad that several comments have already mentioned it), but just as great if not arguably even better!
Dire, Dire Docks does not get old. This is love.
One of the best staff roll tracks ever.
@VHSGREMLIN 🤣Shunnn!!! 🤣
Dire, Dire Docks is an absolute masterpiece. It’s an aural snapshot of 1990s midi music. Many have tried to remake it with more modern tools or turned it into a symphonic version but to no avail. It just stands out there in its lo-fi perfection.
@VHSGREMLIN Heritics like myself are never appreciated in our time, but like Martin Luther when he nailed his grievances to the church door, I'll be remembered fondly in history.
An astounding soundtrack that probably should have just been on there day one, but I'll still take it.
Also why the heck can't you extend Dire Dire Docks? Come on!
@Not_Soos Yeah, I’m not really a fan of SNES and N64 soundtracks. They just sound kind of sound like regular instruments being played after they were thrown in a lake. Then again, there are lots of great soundtracks from those eras, like every SNES Mega Man game except X2, Super Punch-Out, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 and the Mario Parties.
THE STAGE BOSS THEME IS INCREDIBLE AND DESERVES SO MUCH MORE PRAISE!!!
Well, we can extend The Merry-Go-Round and The Endless Stairs…
Dire, Dire Docks is just one of my favorite music tracks in Nintendo (or video game) history. That along with Aquatic Ambiance from Donkey Kong Country and Funky Waters from Tropical Freeze is one that I've listened to for literally hours. It perfectly captures the vibe of swimming in 3D for the first time.
Bowser’s Road is an epic, hard-hitting track that is a perfect buildup to a cool boss fight. It fits every level it plays at.
Super Mario 64's Final Battle is one of my favorite final boss battles despite being pretty straightforward, and it's mainly thanks to this track. What was it with Nintendo liking to use a pipe organ for final battles with Bowser and Ganondorf?
This Staff Roll is one of my favorite credits themes for a Mario game. So cheery and heartfelt.
Hazy Maze Cave hits that deep, dark cave vibe pretty well. It's also one of the best uses of the Super Mario Bros. Underground BGM.
@StewdaMegaManNerd SNES and N64 still had some bangers in their soundtracks. Me not liking either of those water tracks has nothing to do with the limitations of the hardware they were composed for; I'm just not crazy about either of those melodies. I still adore Koji Kondo and David Wise's music, though. They're my two favorite composers except for Yoko Shimomura.
@Dev1024 Wow, if you replace #3 with "Powerful Mario" (when he has the Wing Cap and #5 with Bob-Omb Battlefield, you have my top five!
@Not_Soos Finish that drink and meet me out in the yard
@anyone Whoever chooses the accompanying graphic for all of the tracks on the app knows what their doing. You can't have Dire, Dire Docks without that scary *** eel that will forever live rent-free in my nightmares.
@Not_Soos as a man born and raised in Germany, I can tell you for certain- no. That is not the least bit true. Especially with Luther’s consumption of the sticky brown stuff and other weirdness. 😅
@garfreek oh muh gawd, they took muh freakin’ kidney!
Thought this was on there already. At least the absence of Dire, Dire Docks has now been rectified.
@Not_Soos I don't think the Catholics have gotten over Luther yet.
I used to have this OST on a CD...something about that music...always used it sometimes when trying to go to bed when I was little. lol
I hear the menu pan flutes, It's instantly 1996 again, I'm 7, and I just got out of my friends pool, to play some N64 in his living room. Feels good
Dire, Dire Docks-- another winning Water Theme from Nintendo. When it came on, I literally got excited, and as it kept playing I forgot just how good this song actually was. What a banger.
On a side note, I realize that I've been listening only to the top tracks of each of these soundtracks when they release, and by scrolling down the page just a tiny bit more, you can listen to the entire soundtrack. I'm sure everyone here knew that I just felt like mentioning how dumb I was. Now I have to go back through some soundtracks to hear some of the songs that aren't considered top rated.
@VHSGREMLIN Wait, what's the sticky brown stuff? I have no idea what this means. 😂
@Not_Soos Again, you are badgering the moderators here. For someone who constantly breaks the rules, you'd think that you would learn or just stop.
Why do people keep saying this soundtrack and that soundtrack should have been on the service since day one?
If they were all there in the first place what would we have to look forward to?
@Not_Soos take a wild guess… (google Martin Luther’s eating habits)
Am I the only one who thinks of it as the Jolly Roger Bay theme rather than Dire, Dire Docks?
@Not_Soos Honestly, I have no idea why I wrote what I did, as it doesn’t really have much to do with your comment. I was basically sharing my own opinion and using it as a possible explanation as to why you might not like those tracks (I love both of them). I was wrong about that; thanks for pointing out that you simply don’t find these tracks as amazing as most people find them to be; not every reason has to have a lot of depth. I know tons of music tracks that are constantly praised by people that I either don’t care much for or prefer other music to. And yes, I’m referring to the entirety of Mega Man 2’s soundtrack. Also, it’s Christmas, why are we talking about Martin Luther?
@VHSGREMLIN Thank god Star fish still loves us! 😂
@Joeynator3000 I have the CD soundtrack as well. It is pure aural bliss especially Dire, Dire Docks.
Staff roll always makes me cry. This ost is one of the best in history
@1UP_MARIO also my favorite
I hope we get Wind Waker OST next!
