Best VGM 1056 - Super Mario RPG - Fight Against a Somewhat Stronger Monster

[Beledal]

lol awesome song title.

[frostare]

LOL Is that how the track is really called?

[KarlBonner1982]

@frostare I think so, I guess they felt the phrase "mini-boss" was a little too arcane for the general audience at the time.

[PAVGN]

There are some great battle themes in the other Mario RPGs, but the original Super Mario RPG is the only one where I can safely say I like 'em all.

[dx619hey]

I kept expecting Here's Some Weapons to start playing while listening to this. Yeah, I really liked that "A Journey in Music," and it would be awesome if you could do the same for other games, Supra.

[Purtle28Patrick]

I have to say I've been subbed for a while and I love this channel, always great stuff in good quality.

[scikoolaid]

@Purtle28Patrick Same here!

[TheRavingReview]

last amazing square game: ffX

[imoutofnames1]

@TheRavingReview And then....the merger of DOOM. And the FF series was never the same again.

[MasterF998]

Wouldn't you call this just boss theme?

[duckypwns]

@MasterF998 The song is actually called "Fight Against a Somewhat Stronger Monster".

[MasterF998]

@duckypwns Weird.

[duckypwns]

@MasterF998 Yeah I know. You'd think they'd actually come up with a title for the song instead of just calling it by when it's played in the game.

[MasterF998]

@duckypwns Lol,we are saying the same thing.There is beware of the forest shrooms,The Road is Full of Dangers,welcome to booster's tower,weird stuff.Anyways,more on the game:EFFIN' AWESOME.

[RedtheGhost]

I remember playing the shit out of this game back in grade school (I think 6th or 7th). Nothing else for like a month straight. This is the one tune from the game that would always end up stuck in my head.

[SpaceCadetKeon]

I've always associated this theme with Jinx.

[Ulysses1107]

@SpaceCadetKeon Man that guy was a ***** to fight, always hated that guy

[JDilla2812]

Love this game so far

[RedtheGhost]

@JDilla2812 Playing it for the first time?

[Pyro25100]

SNES = the king, no, the overlord grand emperor poobah king queen GOD of rpgs. Yeah, that summed it up pretty well :P

[ShadowOfTheDusk]

@Pyro25100 100% Correct. With PS1 as his Duke.

[vinitrujillo]

Ohhh, come on Square(I know, "Enix"....), you're reconsidering Nintendo in your projects again, making the epic Dragon Quest X exclusively for Wii/Wii U, why dont you give a good handshake with Nintendo to develop Super Mario RPG 2 HD (Wii U)?

PS: Lend some of your characters to SSBUniverse too XD

[BygPhattyPlus]

Yep. This brings back memories.

[PipoSaga]

I love you, and no, sexually is not out of the question. Haha just kidding. Very good pick.

[AlaricSinclair]

Always loved the title of this track, somewhat stronger monster my ass! Effing Jinx had this as his fight music!

[scarletspeed7]

Stats update: Now with 6 songs, Super Mario RPG has passed every other Mario title on this list. Previously, it was tied with Mario Kart 64, Super Mario 64, and Super Mario World 2 with 5 songs a piece.

[kinosira]

BEST RPG EVER

[Chrom1um]

This song plays in my head whenever I take a test in school. Yeah, I have problems. Come fight about it.

[UmbreonMessiah]

I'm wondering how it took you this long to get this song on the list!

[Arc13]

SNES RPGS FTW.

[electricmastro]

@SupraDarky It's stunning, yet very impressive how Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy VI, and Chrono Trigger were all made by the same company. Speaking of which, i'v noticed that you've added "Tales of" game on here, but haven't added Tales of Phantasia on here.

[eishikibahamut]

It's a shame Square is nothing like that now

[frostare]

@eishikibahamut Meh, still glad Enix is like THIS now.

[tehjonbro]

I think this is the most memorable and awesome music in the game, and one of the best boss/miniboss themes I've ever heard. It's simple, but insanely catchy at the same time. I think it's weird that the Fight Against an Armed Boss theme is the main boss theme in the game, since this one sounds darker and more 'decisive.'

[DreamJ2eaper]

those drums always get me

[nextgenerationdemon]

whats it with nintendo's rpgs and calling lots of they're battle themes

"battle against a/an ______ enemy"?

just look at earthbound's themes.

[Hawelo92]

Not really a big fan of it. I like Fight against an armored monster WAY more.

[VGCUtterSpartan]

I like the name of this theme. Very descriptive.

[epicguitarsolo]

this was my first real rpg, and a good reason why i ADORE square games.

[genesisSOC]

Song always reminds me of that sewer boss eating Malo in the beginning.

[OoTFanboy]

Epic boss music.. definitely going to replay this game when I get it on VC.

[oddcatalyst]

Such a great game, such a memorable tune!

Damn, I can just hear the nok nok shell sound. :D

[electricmastro]

I can tell that Square is your all time favorite company on the SNES, at least RPG wise.

[SupraDarky]

@electricmastro Oh yeah, definitely.

[grimmace45]

@electricmastro Who's Isn't? Maybe Square on PSX...?

[SupraDarky]

A unique boss battle theme by Shimomura. She never really returned to this kind of sound unfortunately, but she's still making great soundtracks. I finish this game almost annually, it's definitely one of my favorites on the SNES.
