One thing I will always remember with this piece is that it was the perfect accompaniment to the player’s first interactions with the new Wiimote controlled Mario. The piece is light hearted, and very cheery. The real opening piece for me, however, is the “Starbit Festival.” This is the first piece of the album to give a real feel for the new orchestral style. The addition of sharp drip-drop arpeggios also adds to the atmosphere of the track, bringing in an element of the ‘space’ feel that Galaxy will be featuring. In contrast with what you’d expect from an overture, the first track of the album features delicate harp and piano. “Overture” begins with a loud and commanding fanfare, but it doesn’t last very long. Let’s begin with some of the opening pieces from the album. Does this help or hinder the gaming experience, and what we’ve come to expect from Mario? Let’s find out! Body Many of the world themes have been produced in this manner, along with significant battle scenes and cut scenes between the gameplay. The new orchestral style that these pieces are presented in really adds another element to what we’ve come to expect from the Mario franchise.

We do not, however, get the incidental synth pieces such as the quirky boss themes, or the themes for Mario’s various mushrooms and flowers! What we are given though is definitely worth it. When compared to the Platinum edition, this version of the album gives us all the new orchestral pieces that were introduced in Galaxy.
