Theme of Athletic (SUPER FAMICOM - ''YOSHI'S ISLAND'')

[LastoftheGeeks]

I can only imagine having some nice beers and a fuckawesome barbecue with buddies with this song.

[BlackLionFilms]

Whos that blonde guy? There is a video of him playing Mario on guitar in a very funny way, please give me the url of the video or the name of the guy.

[dahmer09]

Whats this genre called? like Gypsy rag or somehting? Gypsy Jazz?

[BlackLionFilms]

@dahmer09 Yes, it's supossedly called "gypsy jazz", but i like to call it just jazz.

[SoundsofDarkess]

This song means one of two things. The level is going to be very fun, or absurdly hard.

[xxDoesitmatterxx]

"Here's some nice music to prepare your anus to."

[yelly105]

2 PEOPLE COULDNT BEAT YOSHI'S ISLAND AND HAVE NIGHTMARES EVERY TIME THEY HEAR THIS SONG. 

[cirogalli]

This song is beautiful and it's really well performed. It's a shame the fiddler is missing a couple notes at the end.

[Crogertex]

GREAT.........

[LedZeph]

Beautiful!

[ricardofernandezramo]

¡genial!

[ThisIsKuroCat]

WOW NICE!!!!!!!!!!

[kentorwow]

[BahamutBlueDragon]

AWESOME

Great dedication

[Szmocri001]

whos the blonde guy?

[RentACosplay]

all the music designed by Kondo Koji are so catchy, everyone will definitely remember even they turn 90 years old!

[NIMPAK1]

true dat, Hirokazu Tanaka is a close second, Nobuo Uematsu is propably fifth.

[GaelicElf]

I gotta learn how to play this on the fiddle!!!

Is there anywhere I can download this recording?

[GlassTuxedo]

This is an absolutely amazing arrangement and performance of the athletic theme! This has to be exactly what Kondo imagined when he wrote the song.

[ThatOtherGuyv2]

I would've imagined him to be considering it more like a ragtime piece-- if you hear this arrangement on piano you might think the same. :P

[skr1p7k1dd]

wow i thought this would be gay but its fucking kickass

[CaptainDampe]

Best Yoshi Song! Almost the best Mario song!

[swordhunter23]

omg.....good times good times

[Infernape250]

[RaccoonMario64]

How dare you bash us nerd-folk AND Yoshi's Island??

Truely a sin.

[squishyblanket]

i just finished beating this game on gba and i cry every time i see the ending :') and i cried from this song :')

[DaveGong01]

and why this theme is called atlethic theme?

do you know?

[jake2beck]

Most Mario games have an "Overworld" theme that plays on most levels and an "Athletic" theme for levels that are a bit more active and involve lots of jumping, floorless areas, and/or automatic scrolling.

[capmodesty]

Hooray for Hop hop donut lifts!!

[CZroe]

I've got the Nintendo Power CD of the Big Band performance (SSBM). Super Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island is my favorite platformer of all time, even eclipsing Donkey Kong Country.

[CZroe]

I meant to say that this is also my favorite tune in Yoshi's Island also, though nearly everything else is just as enjoyable (well, the underground music is supposed to be what it is). It's amazing enough that the game topples DKC for the platforming perfection crown, but beating it in the music department was also an amazing feat.

[42burhan42]

IM in love

[42burhan42]

All mario games / music are pretty amazing as well

[extremewookie]

Oh, the memories... :)

[sotelomuniz]

[jensssen]

This is from me one of the best songs from mario

[saeyoungyi]

lol i love this song i downloaded it XD

it has a clumsy yet happy melody

[Inesminina]

Hahaha...fantastic!

[ChitownsFinest119]

this music is being used in super smash bros brawl for yoshi's stage. they just confirmed it at BrawlCentral[dot]com

[PheNOMofHDC]

2 version.

[naomiexploding]

I always loved the music in that game.

[2kreh]

:) that shit makes me happy

[Reliken]

What type of genre does this qualify as?

"Folk?"

[really stellar stuff, by the way. i'm looking for more of this type/possibly an mp3 of this in particular, aye? Can I get any help there?]

[ycz13]

Big Band, like it says in the description. Look it up on Wikipedia if you must.

[Reliken]

Um, no, you're dumb. Use your own suggestion and Wiki it.

Big band refers to JAZZ. IE, the Max Weinberg 7, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Seatbelts, Royal Crown Revue, that scene in Blues Brothers where Cab Calloway is singing to stall for my time, and that type of thing.

The concert got it's title "Big Band Live" because the majority of the concert was a big band jazz group doing music like Bob-omb Battle Field, from Mario 64.

Thanks for trying, though. >_>

[Psykel]

I'd call the genre a dixieland/bluegrass crossover.

[KenBlake]

it works all the same...i wonder how it would sound if it was jazz?

[yoshiislands]

oook

[Ukinojoe]

Coolest shit EVER

[Quietschquatsch]

Wow, that is really great! Where was that? Was it a concert?

[BrainDecrease]

really cool lol. Notice that the bassist is strikingly... less asian than everyone else?

[plargel000]

Just because he doesn't have strait black hair doesn't make him any less asian...Jesus

[BrainDecrease]

The bassist is the guy playing the giant upright bass violin, just so you know.

[Jorgeruige]

Awesome music ! ...

[kitsune2222]

This reminds me of old gypsy music, like Django Reinhardt, very cool!

[bioniclehero2010]

BRAVO this a good music

[TheMotherbrain]

lol so great!!!!!!!!!

[bigshotJG93]

ha, i agree

[KeijiKG]

Sounds like it belongs in a Pixar short.

Maybe it's the choice of instruments.

[Adude64]

*jaw drops through floor* wa wa awazing *Thinks:damn anime physics!* *puts mouth normal* that was amazin- *Jaw drops through floor*
