  • 10 people are stuck on the endless stairs

  • sounds like ganondorfs music from oot.. sweet.

  • I remember when this was new. Man has time flown by!

  • Most epic song in game history is Oath to order, from Zelda Majora's mask (IMO).

  • OMG can games start making quality soundtracks like this one again

  • @ShadowMango Have you played any Mario or Zelda games this gen? Their songs are fucking amazing.

  • @bmcj199 They're ok, hes right though, game music was better back then. I have skyward sword, and so far I haven't been too impressed with the soundtrack (And as a huge zelda/ music fan in general it kills me to admit that, its something i wouldnt normally let myself admit.) Twilight princess had a pretty good ost. Do you know if skyward swords ost gets better? I'm at the part where I got the dragon scale and need to recharge the sword. The songs are still catchy, but not epic it seems.

  • 10 people never could pass this road and fight against Bowser

  • finally found the song i was looking for!! XD i've never played da game but i just no some of the songs and this is 1 of my favorite songs on my list. :3 the 1st one was slide theme and thats my most FAVORITE!!!!!!!!

  • @Pikachu86500 Do yourself a favor and go play it. Like, right now, I don't care how. I promise you won't regret a single thing about it. :3

  • @TheOtherLioyd BUT I DONT HAVE THE GAME!!! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO ENJOY MY LIFE EATING A PIECE OF CHICKEN WING AND PLAYING THIS GAME?!?!?!?! ( and yes i love chicken :P)

  • @Pikachu86500 It's on the Wii for a couple bucks. Failing that, there's still, well...less legal methods, but definitely worth it.

  • Back when video games didn't need storylines. Thank you mario 64, for the funnest and hardest childhood game ever, you invented 3D Platforming and inspired all other 3D Platforming games :)

  • Only by a stretch of the imagination is the character select theme from Melee a remix of this.

  • This music goes through my head when I'm cycling to work for that dreaded monday morning meeting

  • This is the character select screen music for SSB Melee, remixed though!

  • Nostalgia as fuck!

  • 1997 FOR EVER !

  • @Agustinelsuper77 Game was released in 1996 not 1997

  • "Bwahaha! You fell right into my trap, just like I thought you would! Watch your step, my friend."

  • 0:18 is where the magic happens.

  • Oh man.

    When I first heard this in Galaxy.

    I nostalgia'd all over myself.

  • Crisis' Road!

    or

    Koopa's City!

  • Bowsers Chance Time!

  • Bowser: OH HO HO HO HO HO!

  • People said this kinda sound like sonic the hedgehog crisis city if u heard it, but it not. Just saying.

  • then PEACH SAYS "HELP ME" BUT BOWSER SAYS TO PEACH "SHUT UP """ BUT THEN MARIO STOPS BY AND SAYS LEAVE PEACH ALONE AND NO ONE TELLS HER TO SHUT UP YOU HEAR ME (Bowser tells a MINION to throw Peach in LAVA

  • Bowser:IM GONNA SCARE THE HELL out of YOU (mario replies to BOWSER ) GIMME PEACH GIMME HER

  • I like the irony between the two top comments (by the time you read this, this comment's claim may have expired)

  • melee menu 1!?!?!?

  • I want to take over the world. When someone comes to my lair, this will be playing on speakers placed on the road leading up to my castle.

  • the music in this game is phenomenal; this piece is so atmospheric and memorable. brings back good memories. just another great aspect of this game

  • this song is awsome

  • im a kid and i fuckin hate COD i was raised right to like classics

  • Puts me in the mind if Bowser led a Koopa-Nazi Regime... SIG KUPPA!

  • @IvoryGecko1993 Actually Bowser and his regime were believed to be a symbol of communism according to some people.

  • Menacing yet cool at the same time

  • The only reason why you think the old Bowser is scary and threatning is because it was when you were kids. >_>

  • I hate sony and microsoft...they ruined the video game war between nintendo and sega..and that was one of the best things taht ever happened to video games WII PLEASE KILL 360 AND PS3!!

  • @segacd21 Hey man, lay off the Sony hate! If it weren't for them, the market would be dominated with kiddy casual games and generic dull FPS games.

  • @DoctorHadoken well that's just it!!! I love those kinds of games!! 3d shooter and warfare games and games like that are not really my type

  • @segacd21 the wii can never kill the ps3 and the xbox 360 unfortunately, example:the graphs of the games

  • back then video games had less flashing lights and less violence.And bowser was actually scary

  • Seriously, you can call yourself a true villain only if you have a theme like this playing in a level on a bottomless abyss!

  • Back when Bowser was actually really threatening...I remember being scared to meet him in the Mario games, like Super Mario world, Lost Levels, and Mario 3, and of course this game. While, say, Mario Sunshine was really fun, Bowser wasn't threatening at all.

  • @Eraticus180 My favorite remix is the Galaxy 2 remix.

  • ka for kickass

  • Kicks ass

  • I expect this to be the music playing in the elevator going down to hell...

  • Lyrics- "Ah, my fair Princess, what's got you so down?

    In a fairly short time, I'll be wearing YOUR crown!

    This whole kingdom will belong to ME!

    Can you imagine how it will be?

    There's nothing you can do now!

    This, I allow!

    This kingdom's MINE!

    You ran out of time!"

  • screw yugioh mario is the true king of games

  • this song and dire dire cove are my fav....shit now if they can only put mario in COD and make one of COD's level this song

  • @wolfsoul56 my bad dire dire docks

  • @wolfsoul56 put mario in cod!!??? its like to try to put a cake in a shit

  • @wolfsoul56 Yea right, Mario will never be in a game like CoD.

  • I simply love this song <3. Its so epic!

  • Why this isn't in 3D Land is beyond me.

  • Dislike Mario? Let us meet in person shall we? Tell me your dislikes while I rip your larynx out.

  • EPIC

  • Koopa's Road...it's like Rainbow Road...only it's Koopa's...and darker...and less colorful...

  • @Vampiricbuny hmmm exactly 64 likes? Coincidence? I think not!

  • Nostalgia all over again.

  • Anyone know, that Nintendo remixed this tune, and used it as the SSBM menu theme?

  • Mario looks Asian on this pic :|

  • @Seldanas well thats fitting seeing how he comes from asia

  • @Seldanas how does he look asian...?

  • back when video games weren't all brown, grey, and muzzle flash.

  • @usurper70 And good.

  • @usurper70 Don't worry man, while Xbox and PS3 go head to head for the most generic shooter, Nintendo will always be there doing what they do best.

  • @usurper70 i know all kids like are cod

  • @usurper70 Ironically Mario, Sonic, Link and Pokemon are criticized for being for baby's when most of those games have much more Colours and Music than any 5-star Shooter will ever have, Peoples taste in games always surprise me.

  • @TehComentar Whoever labels them as "baby games" are clearly fucking stupid and most likely CoD fantards who wouldn't know a good game if it bit them in the ass.

  • @DoctorHadoken Or they could be only 12 and immature and not have realized how awesome some things like Mario can be, I was the same way when I was 10-12 years old.

  • @usurper70 Stop playing CoD and maybe it won't be that way dumbass.

  • @usurper70 Sounds like Killzone to me

  • @usurper70

    >Comparing a gritty war shooter to a colorful platforming game.

    Nice cherry picking, bro.

  • @usurper70 Exactly! I cant look at a CoD game- or any other shooter for tat matter- and say it looks nice because its all grey!!!

  • dam i hella miss this game, i found all 120 stars,now all i wanna do is find them all over again, best memories with this game :/

  • Of course this was a player's choice million seller. It was mario's leap into the third dimension. Same with OoT.

  • @Pyro25100 Sonic didn't make the proper leap till' Colours :(

  • It says million seller at the top. I remember when a million was a lot of copys.

  • @poopbuttmcgee Yeah, now games have to sell hundreds of millions to be a lot.

  • Sounds like Crisis City from Sonic '06.

  • @WARxCinema

    well, that from sonic sounds like sm64 ;") but yeah you're right ;p

  • @BoyFromFarEast That's not necessarily true. I'm 14, I was born in 1997, I played many (shitty) games like CoD and great ones like Pokémon Yellow, SMB3, Mario 64 and LoZ.

    Old games sure are good.

  • @ptxsptxs same here...97 all the way!

  • this song and the noise Mario make when he burns his ass on the lava go hand in hand.

  • @BoyFromFarEast You have to realize that the new generation won't be able to go back and play everything we had. I rarely ever played the "old" games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong (which were incidentally my favorites of that era). I never even owned an NES; I started with Game Boy and SNES while playing NES from time to time till I got a Wii with VC.

    I'm proud of where I come from and as long as developers keep those people in mind, the kids of today will like the current brand of our favorites

  • @BoyFromFarEast I blame IGN and their FPS FTW Bias

  • maybe 80's had the music and movies, but the 90's had the videogames *w*, I'm glad to be an old fashioned boy, I'm 20, but I don't care about the new games, except for some few like Tales of, and such, but I always play the games of yore

  • @lightignakelloyd that's the spirit :)

  • @lightignakelloyd 70's-movies,80's-music,90's-Vi­deo Games, 00's-Technolgy, 10's-???

  • @hungryhungrymetroid 10's hum.... maybe... 3D and holograms?

  • @hungryhungrymetroid the 60's had better music than the 80's. ever heard of woodstock?!

  • @lightignakelloyd I'm 19 and I feel the exact same way. I love it when Nintendo brings back the platformers, old school style. Right now I'm loving Kirby's Return to dreamland.

  • @BoyFromFarEast It's okay. We can keep that spirit alive. Kids can still play great games like Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and be exposed to a new era of the classics we loved.

  • someone make a dubstep?

  • I love the whole soundtrack to Super Mario 64... it's so nostalgic. Every 90's console I love equally (N64, playstation 1 etc.) Even playstation 2 was so nostalgic...

    I just loved that relaxing nostalgic child-like feeling you'd receive from playing 90's video games on N64. Does anyone remember the genuine feeling of excitement when you got your N64 for the first time?

    It's so sad that when I get new consoles these days... I don't receive a feeling even close to that.. I miss 90's gaming :(

  • @SevenFootPelican I know that feeling bro. Nothing will ever be the same. We might as well just die.

    .......well, not really.

  • I want to start stomping on mushrooms..

  • Man, the feeling of despair, the feeling of epicness, the feeling of something larger then life itself. That was the feeling i got when hearing this theme. Hearing this you just KNEW there was a hard challenge ahead. Love it

  • Nos-fucking-talgia!

  • I get chills EVERY TIME I hear this.

  • SO AWESOME

  • this song plays in my head when I'm taking a test lol.

  • Not sure what it is .. . even when I get tired of this song . . . I just keep coming back, lol.

  • #nostalgia please take me back!!

  • @MrSchweizerLP HOW DARE HE?!

  • @DragonFlyMKW :

    It is true, mario is like the forefather, the ancestor, the origin of videogames

  • @CryoKatana97 you got is damn right!! hes tha fucking boss!!!

  • @DragonFlyMKW O______o

  • Comment removed

  • mario is the best game since the first came out

  • CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DO A DUBSTEP?

  • Song used at GSL!

  • @yoinhell I was thinking Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

  • Nazi's march when this song is playing!

  • @deathshadow2492  so not funny..

  • @schippes24 I know that wasn't my best comment, but I (for some reason) can imagine Nazi's marching when this song is playing! I don't know why. Sorry!

  • @deathshadow2492 the only song i can imagine nazis marching to is "C&C Red Alert music (hell march )", which can be found on youtube, too. dunno if link works, but: /watch?v=Tb-gI_pFog0

  • @schippes24 Still I'm sorry for thinking that Nazi's march when this song is playing.

  • @deathshadow2492 well.. as long as you're not like 'all germans are nazis' i'll just forget about it ;)

  • @schippes24 Now hold on there for a second, did I even say that, no I was referring to the ones that are still loyal to Hitler I wasn't being racist!

  • @deathshadow2492 i never said u were racist. i just wanted to make clear that i hate those people who say 'in general every german is a nazi'. but you're not one of those people so i'm happy :) never wanted to judge upon you as long as i'm not sure what oppinion u have

  • i love this music!!!!!!! its a sexy thriller!!!!!

  • This is the song that plays in my head when I'm traversing dark worlds, fire seas, and obstacles in the sky to destroy a turtle king and rescue my princess. I dunno, that's just what happens to me.

  • YOU CAN SEE MY PIC NOW?!

  • @BoyFromFarEast nope i know some that play mario galaxy and thats a great game! Ill play galaxy than cod. I like retro gaming but i like newer games to. I love the ps2 and the wii.

  • @xXeoingTapaarXM265Xx I'd like nothing more than to be friends with everybody that i can, its just being called "illiterate" seems like an insult. If i offended you in any way, i apologize, but next time, could you please be a bit more understanding?

  • @xXeoingTapaarXM265Xx What in the hell is going on? Like on every video, I see some sort of argument over a petty problem, I will never understand this community >_<

  • @xXeoingTapaarXM265Xx nobody's forcing you to reply, i see you removed the first comment about trying the game out and disliking it. that comment would have been just fine, but instead, I see myself being called illiterate, that's really what started it for me, honestly.

  • @xXeoingTapaarXM265Xx i just don't see why you had to reply again, the 1st reply to my first comment was sufficient enough. now your just adding on for reasons unknown.. let sleeping dogs lie.. and way to start just plain insulting somebody you don't even know. Common sense is something that everybody SHOULD know.. it doesn't mean that they do, but they should.

  • @xXeoingTapaarXM265Xx no reason to go all in-depth, this isn't school, so i don't see why your making such a big deal out of it. and please don't start calling worse names, that just makes you look like a troll. and btw, jokes aren't always supposed to be fun to the people that they are played on... that's just common sense.

  • Back then, video games had a passion about them, all the innovation, the joy the developers had when they made their games, and the music put into them was awesome. Can't say the same for the past 2 generations... :(

  • nostalgia man i feel like i dry swallowed a big pill

  • @xXeoingTapaarXM265Xx Damn dude, you take things a BIT TOO SERIOUS. it was a joke OBVIOUSLY. It's the internet, learn to take a joke, you stick in the mud.

  • @xXeoingTapaarXM265Xx obvious CoD fan is obvious

  • mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!­!!!!! awesomeness

  • Back in '96 this was the track for any gamer's video game training montage.

  • The theme of champions. Not too calm, yet not really upbeat, either. No remix is needed on this. It's already perfect.

  • 3:57 minutes of epicness

  • We need the US Army to conquer the world with the help of this music quickly!

  • everytime i see a mario game come out like new super mario bro's wii and stuff i think back to the begining of how i met mario games...super mario 64. will alway's be the best game for the n64 to me

  • I have all consoles from Nintendo and always in my nintendo 64 super mario 64 game forever and never get tired of playing it xD

  • Am I the only one that's getting kind of tired seeing so many CoD related top comments? : /

  • @theflyingtomatoman Same. Who gives a crap what other people play that you may not like, just enjoy the ones you do play. The anti-CoD drones are officially more annoying than the CoD players they make fun of.

  • hearing this song: time to save the world

  • GOD BLESS 90'S VIDEO GAMES!

  • @Mortskcab Next time when i go in a cave, i'm putting this song on 0__o doesnt it just make you wanna walk like your all that? XD it does me....

  • @Mortskcab Agreed, although this is not something that exemplifies the '90s in gaming for me, although this is still an all-time favorite of mine.

    SMB3 > SMG2 >= SMG1 > SM64 >= SMW, and all are top tier.

  • Every time i play minecraft and i am in a cave, i am playing this theme! :D

  • This theme is so great, as well as the Galaxy 1 and 2 versions as well. Can't decide which is the best!

  • I might not be that old, and I may like CoD, but I remember being about 2 years old playing this game. Most exciting game ever. Collecting the stars, getting invincibility from turtle shells instead of stars, and the Wing Cap.Oh, glorius Wing Cap.

  • I wouldn't hate CoD so much if they would stop using the God dame engine and making one every year, seriously give it a break, people ripped Mario for making the same game, but if you think about it there wasn't a 2D Mario Platformer on a home console since SNES and then appeared again on Wii. Basically Mario is original and awesome, CoD is the same thing just with zombies and repetitive.

  • 769 people tore this level up!!!!!!!

  • So many games today are rated "M" . Probably more than half! In the 90's, hardly any games were rated what is now "M" . It's horrible. I grew up playing Super Mario 64. My nephew grow up playing some game where your a zombie prostitute who chops people's heads of with an ax :/

  • This song sounds as if your going on some sort of mission to a dangerous palce

    Truly fits the situation!

  • Sounds like an endless army of koopas...

  • I still play this game on my N64, it's just.. awesome..

    Only thing is, my reset button on my N64 is stuck.. so... yeah..

    These songs bring tears to my eyes, and bring back the frustration of the god damn flames!

  • every reset button on every n64 gets stuck!

    but nobody cares it's just not a button we use

  • @wolborgZ Well, thing is, when I put in 1 or more remotes, my 64 gets stuck, forcing me to reset it.

    When I use the on/off button it doesn't work anymore, like, it's on, but nothing happens.

    I have to pull the game out, blow some dust out of it, let the 64 cool down, and try again.

    I just have to use the reset button ><

  • The 8 people must have never seen the awesomeness of this game.

  • People! Thumbs up if you all still playing Mario 64, keep listened this music endlessly and wandering around Bowser's Road. My favorite is the Dark World. I kept remixing the original by throwing the tune up from time to time in this level.

    I prefer Nintendo to make to a new game called Mario 64 Wii (not the VC one) with more stars, new characters and probably the same Bowser levels with challeging details. Whoa I've gone too far now, either way it doesn't look like sh**.

  • @MarioCrash64 Well it might be nice to play as luigi as well, though when games add a ton of new characters to an originally one player game, things tend to get out of hand and just go south from there? right?

  • @MarioCrash64 They remade the game on the DS.

    Added new character and stuff, I haven't actually played it so I don't know what else they did...

  • @MabiVergas I know they did a remake on the DS. I just want to know IF they must have make a brand-new Mario 64 on the Wii with the same BUT slightly edited features like what they did on the other two.

  • @MarioCrash64 What about Super Mario 64 DS? Fits your description perfectly. Bowser looks like shit on the N64 and looks great on the DS.

  • @jedimasterpickle3 I have completed thrice this game. This game is pretty cool but the controls and the characters movements has some serious flaws. They should released it in late 2011 instead of 2004.

    Why? The game is made with 3D polygons which it comes into 64-bit so there's nothing special.

    Bowser may look desperated and slower but it's good to see him attacking.

  • *Backflip fail into lava*

    Mario: Mama Fucker...

  • 8 ppl never passed this level

  • this is honestly the most vivid memory of when I'm trying to get to bowser for the first time. took so many lives, from, the amps, the flames, falling so many times because of the pressure and my hands getting sweaty on the joystick which didnt really help. and then when you press that button to make the stairs and the timer goes! you rush to the top you get there and your like woo! and your like time to kick youir fucking ass bowser, but then you decide to fuck around with the pipe! XD

  • what the fuck guys? stop comparing this to CoD. just enjoy the music, no need to rub your fanboyness into the comments.
