sometimes the extremely popular and oversaturated thing is that way because it really is that good. such as it is with the MM2 wily stage 1 theme

Nintendo added Princess Peach Showtime to Nintendo Music.

I think it's an underrated Mario game that would benefit from a sequel.

Albums:
Make It Last Forever - Keith Sweat (1986)
Don't Be Cruel - Bobby Brown (1988) Dangerous - Michael Jackson (1991)

the other two are probably relatively predictable choices if you're familiar with hirokazu ando and jun ishikawa's musical inspirations but I've been listening to a ton of pizzicato five lately and romantique 96 in particular struck me in terms of blending ando and ishikawa's influences

the mario kart world OST is one of the greatest collections of jazz fusion of all time. it is monumental. not only for video game music, but for music as a whole. what a cool thing god damn.

From now on whenever I do Nintendo Music updates, I'll highlight the composer since Nintendo won't do it in the app.

Some of Kazumi Tokata's notable games:
- Mario Paint
- Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
- Zelda: Link's Awakening
- Luigi's Mansion
- Animal Crossing series

Nintendo added Yoshi's Story to Nintendo Music.

This soundtrack was composed by Kazumi Totaka.

He has been a composer at Nintendo for 35 years.

Albums:
Computer Savvy - The J. Arthur Keenes Band (2011)
Vacation Wasteland - Slime Girls (2012)
Get Olde / Second Wind - Crying (2014)
