Super Mario RPG (Forest Maze)
Hello! I was going to do these every Wednesday, but then the strike ended and I went back to work. Which is great for me but less great for me being good at this. Which isn’t fair to any of you. Especially those of you that like this, which might be one person. But this is for that one person: You.
Things have been busy, so let’s just drop the song for the day: The Forest Maze from Super Mario RPG. It is, as you see, below.
It’s one of the best songs in a game that has some incredible music. I know we all appreciate Super Mario RPG’s music - but do we appreciate it enough? My honest answer is no.
The Forest Maze theme is just so good at evoking mystery in a game about a colorful plumber who punches boxes and jumps on turtles. It’s also composed by one of the greatest games musicians of all time: Yoko Shimomura. She’s worked on Street Fighter II, Kingdom Hearts, Mario & Luigi, Final Fantasy 15, and a lot fucking more.
So sit back, take a listen, and let yourself get lost in the mists of VIDEO GAME FANTASY! And if you want to drive yourself a little insane, someone made a 15 minute version.
