Super Mario Galaxy 2: "Starship Mario" (Fanmade Theme)

[The42ndLegend]

I think Bowie put more work into this than Nintendo actually put into the game!

[jameson4332]

good job and thats not the song

[supermarioteam1]

I subscribed because of this...FTFW!! (For The Fucking Win

[NWPlayer1234]

Oh, how cool. I am watching this and the views is EXACTLY 110,000

[OnePointZeroRBXL]

I failed horribly in spelling "world"

[OnePointZeroRBXL]

Wpr;ds 7 and 8? Whatever. Nice!!

[monsterguy420]

first part kind of sucky 2 part pretty good

[ConnorTheDevil]

Its better than the real one.

[MrTboy360]

This is bull shit! This song isnt even sound like it belongs in galaxy!

[KbanjoK]

@MrTboy360 trolololol

[ColeVX]

@MrTboy360 :T

I Strongly Disagree.

[Fares242]

Great music!

[MrTboy360]

This wanna make's me barf.

dude thats church music not a mario hub world!

[KbanjoK]

@MrTboy360 Did you even listen to the entire song?

[MrTboy360]

@KbanjoK oh yeah.

[Blix456]

don't stop making music!I love all your themes

[mariosaway12]

this could make my church alot better

[Anthestudios]

Could you please resume composing great Mario Fan music ? I'm a subscriber since 1,5 year but the past year nothing happend...

[GigaEXE]

Please tell me you're working on a resume to work as a game music composer for Nintendo. Even if it's not Nintendo, it's gotta be SOMETHING! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!

[officialdigimogames]

@BowieZ please can i have a midi ov this?

[officialdigimogames]

love this tune send it to japan he might implement into super mario galaxy 3

[VocaloidStalker1]

hey! you should make some gind of internet forest galaxy music or something like that,it would be really nice :P

[Tacityoshi1234]

I would stay on the starship longer if this was the theme playing.

[MrTommytulip]

I see what you mean now though

[MrTommytulip]

I'm watching it on an iPod so u can't see the annotations.

[MrTommytulip]

It's a great song for starship Mario but maybe not for it. I say this because it takes over a minute to get to the full song but u are usually only on there for a couple of seconds. But a great song.

[pikminfan1998]

@MrTommytulip

No, no, the different layers are added as you progress through the game, like the real Starship theme. So, each time it loops and adds a new part, that's reaching a new segment of the game.

Like it says in the ANNOTATIONS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FREAKING VIDEO.

[StrawberryGuy86]

My favorite phase of this song is the second one!

[sheitruis]

I wish this was the REAL theme for the starship mario. Maybe in the engine room with the "trophies"

[mariosluigi]

I LOVE THIS! It feels all nice and friendly. My day is the exact opposite. <3

[Pinknarf95]

Dang: I've come back to this song after having a hard week, and this song makes me feel all warm and nice inside. :) Again, as mentioned in a previous comment, this is truly amazing! :D

[TheCurtainGuy]

Let's all persuade Nintendo to let Bowie join them! :D

[Pinknarf95]

Man, this is amazing: this is definitely going on my MP3 player! ;)

[yomobrofilms]

I am still commenting on this today because it is still awesome

[technojunkie123]

very awsome, but one question. World 8? ther's only 7 worlds

[SuperHoboPirateNinja]

@technojunkie123 Special world. Besides, this was before Galaxy was released, and it's a tradition for every Mario game to have eight worlds.

[01223rr]

Dude, I wont forget when I was in school and there was like, 10 more days left until school ended and to make like the last few days of school AWESOME, I would go home and listen to this music While playing SMG2!! Man, 50 KABILLION thumbs up!

[iWorldWebshow]

I remember way back, right before Super Mario Galaxy 2 was coming out, when we were all going crazy on the boards, and Bowie made it in the news....

But now.....

(This is StarshipMario from the gamespot boards a long time ago ahha XD)

[StrawberryGuy86]

If there ever will be a SMG3, this song should definitely be used for the game's hub world!

[dannybenk0]

the begining of the video sounds weird but the middle and the end sounds awsome. overall i rate it as a 8 out of 10.

[kikupanchi]

Wow this is awsome, seriously, but may i ask how you composed it and what program you used?

Thanks much :)

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@kikupanchi pro tools 8.

[boricua4445]

Super Mario galaxy 2 has 6 worlds cause the were 6 world in the 1st super Mario galaxy

[mzaslove]

wow this would be good if it was in the real game! your music is great!

[XProcks2001]

This is amazing! What do you use to write this music? Like what notation editor?

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@XProcks2001 pro tools 8

[casadoalfredo]

i am starting to think bowiez and koji kondo are the same person!!!

[casadoalfredo]

17 people are retarded.

[cpPete993]

I ought to use programs for the Wii to implement your awesome music into the game.

[leijenhorst]

Worlds 7-8 are SOOOOOOO NICE

[Yoshiller4]

New Subscriber!

[SmileChannelmasterTV]

gawd...i only wish id be good a composer as you are.i have a lot to learn.and nintendo would make a hit with SMG3 if you were in the company.they need u m8

[Sparkz1607]

I love the melody. ^_^

I could hum it all day; it's just so peaceful and happy. And later in the song, it becomes an orchestrated masterpiece, symbolizing that life just gets better and better the more you stick with it. TvT

I can't figure out how to describe this without something corny and overused like "BEST SONG I EVER HEARD HOLOLOLOLOL". :O Let's just say it gave me some awesome dreams last night. :)

Reminds me of how I want to work for NASA one day. :) Yaaay astronomy.

[pinbin027987]

This should have been the official starship mario theme!!!!!

[Jakerooo123]

I know there's no world 8 in the game, but there is actually enough room on the disc for there to be about 20 worlds, each just as full as the rest.

[skellington15]

World 8? Man, I think the memory of the game might explode if it could fill up that much.

[Jakerooo123]

@skellington15 Um... Actually, the game disc can hold about 4 times as much content as there already is.

[skellington15]

@Jakerooo123 Then why did the programmers stop at 7 Worlds?

[Jakerooo123]

@skellington15 To get the game released on time. Why else?

[alternateshadow300]

@Jakerooo123 lol, that's not an excuse. They could've just delayed it.

[Shockwave109]

@skellington15 Probably because it would take a REEEEAAAALLLY long time to actually program in those worlds, in addition to being very difficult to actually beat the entire game (since 120 stars is usually the norm), and even after all those problems, any additional levels might not have very good concepts (i.e., they would probably run out of ideas =P).

[Valo778]

@skellington15 This was made before Super Mario Galaxy 2 came out, and before then, every Mario game with worlds had eight (or more).

[pianistmaster1]

which program didi you use?

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@pianistmaster1 pro tool v8

[Drakelx555]

You Deserve a Job At nintendo working with koji kondo!

p.s I think your works are better than his!

[XenonRenorack]

This is so good it almost brings a tear to my eye.

[Giratina493]

You should make a 10:36 version. :D

[hugocroft1]

I wish super mario galaxy 2 had 9 worlds :T

[porcellusstudios]

@hugocroft1 Yeah I was really disappointed when there were only 6 regular worlds....I thought it would be like the other Mario games with 8....

[Prettywitchaichi]

really off. but nice sounding.

[asimkhanbest1]

hmm this sounds fimiliar is this an arrangement to the theme to mario's pad in super mario rpg?

[rymndgeekyguy]

to be honest, koji kondo's is fitting, but yours is better just as a song on it's own, i'd be happy to mod the game just too have this song as the starship mario song instead of koji's, i prefer it to his. and i'd do the same for some other songs you've made too, in the right places of course

[hugocroft1]

way better than the official one, bowiez YOU ARE AMAZING!!!, you could take Koji's Place for future mario games ;w;

[DallasCharter]

this is so fantastically good, i wish this was actually on Super Mario Galaxy 2.

[JayMitHick]

i LOVE this!! :D

[conaneve1]

Wait, Did you make this before nintendo or... was Starship Mario your name creation?

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@conaneve1 this was his theme idea for starship before anyone knew what it sounded like.

[CosmicShadowMari0]

i got a youtube account so i could comment on this vid.

[BowieZ]

@CosmicShadowMari0 Compliment very much taken! :-) Thanks

[Drakelx555]

@BowieZ Me too :P

[InvaderJakob]

@BowieZ Hey, what happened to this account, did you create a new one, our you just don't want to do any music anymore? Just asking

[NikoPunkSUPEERMAARIO]

If a music replacement code gets made for SMG2, i'm going to replace the Starship theme with this.

[kyledraws]

@NikoPunkSUPEERMAARIO isn't there something called REGGIE or something like that so you can edit sounds and graphics in a game. Somin' like that....

[SirSebastianWang]

This is in E major, right? I'm trying to compose sheet music for it...

[SirSebastianWang]

This is absolutely beautiful, but I still don't know wether I like this one or the official one better.

[ShadowKreach]

Think you can do an Extension of Part 1?

[JapanYoshiTheGamer]

Good song! It's not weird even it's in the real game

[Flameclaw123]

The wind chimes! They be a-killin my ears! I'm just kidding, it's just that we drop the wind chimes so many times in my band that we're accustomed to covering our ears when we hear them. Topic completely unrelated, I know... Anyway, love the peaceful sound of the beginning, worlds 3&4 is very catchy, 5&6 is also peaceful and melodic, 7&8 is triumphant. All are epic!!!

[hasfarr]

Somebody offer this guy a job with Koji Kondo and Mahito Yokota. HE NEEDS IT.

[HeiHolaHello]

@hasfarr Nope. They wouldn't accept MIDI in a game like this. He would have to orchestrate it, and I doubt he can play enough instruments to really orchestrate it

[13mungoman13]

@HeiHolaHello The point is the arrangement, not the quantity of instruments.

[coolguytw]

@hasfarr HE DESERVES IT.

[MrTboy360]

@hasfarr why,this song belongs in a kids church song! so does he!

[103calico]

Nice job. What music composition program did you use?

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@103calico Pro Tools 8

[blazingsonicIII]

I can't help but think of this tune whenever I'm on the Starship. Absolutely brilliant.

[DallasCharter]

I think Koji Kondo is one of the best composers of all time along with John Williams, but this theme is better than the actual starship mario theme. This theme is much deeper and epic. Good Job

[kjatte]

What vst plugins are you using? i love your sounds so much!

[Mrbuddykins]

i think Koji Kondo's star ship mario sets a playfull mood, witch makes sense since star ship mario is like this games sand box.

yours i kinda picture more as a game title screen theme, and a epic one. i listened to this like 10 times already. if i could, i would give you the badge of composition awesomeness :D!!!!

[101RCT]

@GalaxyBroadcast unfortanatly but i think BowieZ should work for nintendo if he could

[houseguy567]

I think it sounds good and all, but it takes too long to get to the melody. I mean, how long is the player in that hub area? Like 15 seconds maybe. I think if it was in the game and was orchestrated along with the other music in the game, it would sound great, so long as the melody started a lot sooner. Great work though.

[Drakelx555]

I love All your fanmade themes! they are SOOO awsome!

[101RCT]

@GalaxyBroadcast because nintendo likes to "make there own music" unfortanatly

[101RCT]

sorry to say thgis but there is only 6 worlds not 8

[roboninjapx]

hey bowiez im a programmer and would love to use your music in a mario game. Its all non-commercial so you don't have to worry about legal stuff. so put a link to the music in the doobly-doo.

[SuperHoboPirateNinja]

I'm kind of undecided on which one I like more. I mean, the official one is much more fitting for the "garden" kind of feel this has, but this one has the better improvements between star levels.

[RiseOfTheNerd]

I like this one as well! My favorite song is the new one, but my favorite HUB is the planetarium.

[alternateshadow300]

Good thing they used the original...

[clubpenguinmario1]

this is kinda cool but i like the orginal better

[Absalutly06]

@clubpenguinmario1

this is fanmade

FANMADE

[03mph]

Now Mario Galaxy 2 Is About Out And The Proper Music Is You Should Be Editing Later Versions Of Mario Stuff Like That Newer Super Mario Bros Wii Thing

[GiantSandles]

This is actually better than the real one

[BearBoy121]

i wish this were the Real Music

[BearBoy121]

Luma,s;Please Mario Go Get the Power Star,s

Mario;i don,t want to i want to stay here and Listen to this Wonderful Music

Luma;your right this music is wonderful

Lubba;Hay what are you guys doing get back to work

Mario and the Luma.s;oh man he caught us

Lubba yes there gone now to relax and Listen to this Wonderful Music

[BearBoy121]

Starship Mario's Music Tops the Comet Observatory's Music any day Please Comment to let me know what you think

[MrApophis]

Bowiez, you are good. Also, your "Cover" for smg2 is pretty popular, eh?

[Flameshadow1010]

hey bowie, imma curious, what do you think of the official music from SMG2, from what i heard, not excluding the levels, the music is the only other radical change. mostly it's all orchestra (personally i kinda like, :D)

[keggie09]

im sorry but nun of ur musicz r in thee gam :'(

[SuperMarioDavid123]

Great, from start to finish, this is a true masterpiece!

[marioblooperguy]

Can I Please Have a Download Link To the Atomic Clock one?

[omgcandy16Kimicari0]

As I recall, the only music from the game besides the (main?) theme they've showed off is the Treetop Galaxy or whatever it is, which I must say I love.

[gam4freak1]

i havent seen alot of mario galaxy 2 because i dont want to spoil myself. but is this is theme based on the real theme of starship mario. eitherway this sound really good esspecialy on world 3

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@gam4freak1 no, sadly.

[Samsasrenjet]

Sounds more like something out of Zelda.

[disneygrab1]

Please don't get me down on this but...

I personally think the Nintendo-made theme is better...

[cutthemac]

nice work

[SuperHoboPirateNinja]

I'm waiting for the game to come out and this be the actual track for Starship Mario.

[Juigi33]

this is def better then nintendos theme... very good!

[supermarioultrafine]

its not the theme not close sorry

[DsiPlayer23]

I see somethin like that when you are 1-2 worlds u see there just a black background,worlds 3-4 have some stars in it,5-6 a open light blue opening is shown, 7-8 your in the planets atmosphere

[weatherman1994]

I think it's a nice composition. You compose a lot of pretty songs. I like Nintendo's better...no offense to you though. Keep doing what you're doing! :)

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@BowieZ well i do

[BowieZ]

@YUCKfoodnetwork Subtle.

[Drakelx555]

@BowieZ THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!

[DoctaP3ppa]

@BowieZ your an inspiration to me! me and mai friends are composing some smg2 songs because of you (but we r using instruments tho) i use the trumpet...we got a drummer... a person with a tuba 2 clarinets and much much more...thank you

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@DoctaP3ppa yeah. i did something similar. check out the video response!

[BearBoy121]

@YUCKfoodnetwork THIS is the Real Music Dumb ass

[BearBoy121]

@YUCKfoodnetwork i wish this were the Real Music!!!!

[nebon8]

haha this is awsome son BowieZ but its kkinda like a song you hear when your high haha....is there a download? XD

[GH3master21]

This place has already got a theme. If you see the fifth trailer, you can hear it.

[goluigi2196]

hmmmm...this would be better for a spacey and peaceful level like space junk galaxy in super mario galaxy. good song though

[BowieZ]

@goluigi2196 Even the orchestral part?

[goluigi2196]

@BowieZ

yeah for like a boss battle or epic part

[luke4496]

@BowieZ The beginning reminds me of the music in Paper Mario that plays when you are at the withering flower.

[BearBoy121]

@BowieZ remind me two use mario in mario kart ds, double dash,and mario kart wii more often Sniffle

[pikmin24]

this is a bit sadish and mario's happy...nice work but the origional PWNS!

[TheAnimationClinic]

WOW, the ending, when it's fully orchestral, now THAT'S what this song needs to be the whole way through. Just think about it.

[TheAnimationClinic]

I lik the actual tune, however IMO it sounds too much like a funfair attraction, and needed to be a little jollier. Honestly, if you just made it less electric sounding, this could really work. Feels alot like Mario!

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@TheAnimationClinic yes, it does suite mario very well.

[shitass999]

not even close.

[BowieZ]

@shitass999 I wasn't trying to be close to a song I've never heard before.

[shitass999]

@BowieZ i know just wanted to mension it.

[MikeXel1]

im bored just watching 30 seconds of this

[BowieZ]

@MikeXel1 Nice patience there. The song grows to fully orchestral by the end.

Thanks though!

[kirbyphanphan]

i want it

[BearBoy121]

@kirbyphanphan me two just two more days

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@BearBoy121 less than five hours, actually!!!

[Mrguy891]

I donno, I don't really like this song much, IMO of course. It doesn't give the atmospheric feel to the ship for me.

[BowieZ]

@Mrguy891 Fair enough. Thanks anyway. :)

[Mrguy891]

@BowieZ I'm glad you are one of the few people on the internet that could take an opinion.

[BowieZ]

@Mrguy891 No worries. What do you think of the official song heard in the latest transmission?

[Mrguy891]

@BowieZ Not bad, nothing impressive, but it was good. I like the instruments used for it. I think yours would be just as good if you used classic instruments.

[BowieZ]

@Mrguy891 You mean like, recorded live players performing in an orchestra? I still think the official version would be better :P

[Mrguy891]

@BowieZ

'kay then.

[CosmicShadowMari0]

@BowieZ do... not... want... what... they... are.. USING!!! GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! ahem. sorry. but i think your version is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy better.

[Zenithprod]

@BowieZ

Pretty calm and tranquil.

[AL4087]

I gotta say I REALLY LOVE THIS. I don't know what program you used to make this (if any) but I think the echo may be a little much.

Also, maybe a piano or strings section added in the middle, like 1 5-10 second chunk would sound really cool.

Is it possible to post a MIDI of the file, or is that not possible?

[BowieZ]

@AL4087 Actually, yeah, I could post a MIDI, although it's probably an insane jumbled mess lol

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
