Best VGM 957 - Super Mario RPG - The Road is Full of Dangers

[GoldenSuperMario]

Does anyone notice that the URL said ytp?

[malathis0]

Yeah, this song REALLY makes me think "there's danger ahead".

[MegamawMeh]

They remixed this in Superstar Saga as Oho Oasis, I just realized.

[gamereviewerbr]

This game only loses to Chrono Trigger on the SNES RPGs

[sk8er4ever0101]

i play this game every so often along with earthbound, my 2 fav rpg on snes :D

[HydroMonsoon]

@sk8er4ever0101 Earthbound and Super Mario RPG were EPIC!

[IkeVanDykeLmS]

Don't Suppose Goodbye Geno or Let's Do the Fooka Fooka will be coming soon?

Fooka Fooka might be a nice April Fools Prank, since everyone will think the title is a joke...nope it's real all right lol

[murdechoc]

Mario goes Latin. I fuckin loved that game when I was kid. I just wanna download it to play and hear taht fuckin good music

[xChaoticNeutralx]

“Now ya got my hammer angry! Ya shouldn't have done that!”

[stephenson99]

The road is full of dangers........well it doesn't bloody sound like it!

[HiBleach]

Epic LOL @ the title while in thumbnail mode.

Best VGM 957 - Super Mario RPG - The Road is Fu........

[DeadBeatBlast]

DANCE DANCE HAPPY DANCE!!!!!

[tenebnaes]

it really bothers me how no one has heard of this game...but EVERYONE knows the paper mario series.....and we know which is better

[bregowine]

So sweet it's bad for your teeth... and so catchy

[PAVGN]

I'm kinda surprised It took this long to include this one.

[nunobelo]

Mario's face... O_O

[TangerineGroovin]

yeah im so replaying this

rom time

[grimmace45]

Ahh yeah,

[EvanFingerstyle]

Anyone else think that the title of this song is seriously ironic? The music is so peaceful xD

[Cybertoco]

@EvanFingerstyle I don't know...I think the song would be well suited to a "Take care!"-like message!

[AkumaUchitoru]

I suppose this song is a little nostalgic sounding, but I wouldn't really consider it as one of the best.

LOL. You like the graphics, huh? As a kid, I always thought they were strange for some reason. It looks like... Donkey Kong Country graphics. XD I suppose it's interesting seeing a game with 3D rendering on a SNES. Besides, this was one of the last games for this system anyway.

[dininelbourne]

I remember renting this from the local video store when I was a kid. I had no idea what an RPG was. Seven weeks worth of late fees was pretty expensive back in the day.

[thomasbradleyh]

I didn't like Super Mario RPG... I just found it too boring.

[onthehouse021]

What a misleading song title

[drunyon214]

@onthehouse021 Good point, considering how easy this game was... more like "The Road is Full of Weak Monsters That Make This Game Even Easier than Final Fantasy Mystic Quest."

[vinitrujillo]

Oh hell SupraDarky, you've done it, I'm going to play it again.

[Svenshinhan]

The sign of a good game: One day, years ago, I made a friend on the streets just because I was whistling this tune. Now, 15 years later, we're still close as brothers.

Games don't have that power anymore.

[TheEvalButterfree]

@Svenshinhan i know cod isent the best game but its fun as a change from tf2 and css but i made friends with many people at school that i wouldent otherwise

[JonathanFerGold]

This song reminds me of the movie "What About Bob?".

[TheDivineShiver]

Lol, YouTube changed again... Anyways, on topic. This is a nice theme, I didn't know it was from this game, however.

[orwell9788]

@bdfan4ever OMG! Thank you so much for pointing out the asinine hatred SE seems to get from nostolgic whores. While I agree they where the best in their golden age on the SNES & PS1, they still make wonderful games. Dissidia, Birth by Sleep and FF13 where amazing to me, Nier was great and is SO underrated. I'd throw in The Third Birthday, even with it's wacky plot, the gameplay is intense and rewarding. SE is the reason to buy a PSP really, along with Peacewalker and playing PS1 games on the go

[JonathanFerGold]

@orwell9788

Nier wasn't developed by Square-Enix:

It was developed by Cavia, another Japanese company (Now defunct, sadly) who did Biohazard Gun Survivor 4: Heroes Never Die/Resident Evil: Dead Aim as well as the Drakengard and Biohazard/Resident Evil Chronicles games.

[AkumaUchitoru]

@orwell9788

Eh, I never played Dissidia but The Third Birthday seemed kind of bad... FF13 and Birth By Sleep weren't half bad though. I'd at least throw BBS as one of the few good games from this century. What's Nier though? I've never even heard of it sadly. :(

[LinkTetraWW]

Something is wrong with the audio.

[TheRyan227]

I need to pick this up off of the Virtual Console... I've never played it, but I really want to.

[superearthbender]

In my list of best games, this would be #1.

[krits]

squaresoft has always made great games, enix made great games, square enix shall continue to make great games.

[Arc13]

This theme is too familiar and loved. My head is about to explode from the nostalgia!

[TarvusDrake]

Wow, Bowser is tiny.

[NukeA6]

This was the first RPG I ever got into. When I first played it, I thought it played like a Mario game so I tried to kill a Terrapin by jumping on it. Then I realized it had turn-based fighting.

[DarkestDion]

@NukeA6 same, I only picked it up mainly because it has Mario in it, then i got hooked on RPGs

[daytimesky]

My favorite song in this is the boss fight against any boss that guards a star. It's so catchy.

[duckypwns]

There will never be a true sequel to this game, because people don't have taste anymore.

[RetrogamingBard]

Really wanna bust out a marimba.... wait a minute... really wanna 'own' a marimba.

[Kagemusha08]

SquareEnix will never make games like this again. They lost too much talent when they merged. You'll never see the kind of star-studded development teams that were common in this era again.

[venom3carnage]

Isnt it funny that Square made the best Mario game and not Nintendo?

[Sonofdracula1]

@venom3carnage I wouldn't say that it's the best mario game in general. However, I agree that it's the best Mario RPG game. It's really better than all of the other Mario RPGs combined (eventhough most of them are great games).

[camdenml]

SE needs to step it up. Like, hardcore.

Also, you're so close Darky!! 1000 ho!

[kemsus]

whenever i hear this song, i always in my mind hear the sound effect of mario Jumping :P

[DeadBeatBlast]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!

[Masz52]

Time to reinstall Deus E- I mean, restart Super Mario RPG.

[Waywhard]

The heck? I was listening to this not even a minute ago.. Bizarre coincidence, really.

[RaiohTheHunter]

WE MISS YOU GENO!

[KeeSomething]

Great choice. I still hum this song without even realizing it.

[kunio18]

i love this track so much., its such a memorable tune in the game, really fits it for Mario's start of his journey :D thanks SupraDarky !!

[OutBurstOfStupidity]

nice!

I was just going to start my 4th playthrough of this game.

[drunyon214]

The last Square RPG for the SNES, and one of the best. Shimomura's soundtrack made this game amazing.

[HcOtaku1337]

Awwwe I remember this.

[Newbpwn3r180]

sounds like Donkey Kong country

[SegaRising]

Back when Square Enix used to make good games.

[evainfrenchli]

@SegaRising u got a good point

[king999999888888]

@SegaRising Square Enix didn't make this, and they do make good games.

[Nintendorulez]

@king999999888888 It was made by Square, which merged with Enix years ago to make Square Enix

[jseeker1867]

They did make it, and they do make mediocre games. Look up Final Fantasy 14.

[king999999888888]

@jseeker1867 Once again, wrong, Square made this game, which later went on to become Squaresoft and Square Enix, and I'm sorry, but one mistake by releasing FFXIV too early doesn't make them have bad games anymore, so cry some more, they still are a great company.

[xOmniCloudx]

@king999999888888 If you think FFXIV was the only mistake and garbage game they've released you're delusional. SE is nothing compared to Square and Squaresoft which were two of the best companies ever. SE is a fail most the time.

[CleverDjembe]

@xOmniCloudx

Violent communication, often used by trolls.

[TheSirLaguna]

@SegaRising You mean when they were just Squaresoft and Enix... those were the days.

[eishikibahamut]

@SegaRising

Only the Square half sucks. Enix is still completely capable of making fine Dragon Quest installments, but that's about it.

[TheHarmonixer]

@SegaRising SquareSoft at the time actually :).

[AbsoluteZero255]

@SegaRising Back when Square Enix was Square and Enix.

[DarkestDion]

@SegaRising Back when its simply called Square

[Zeifear]

@DarkestDion ...soft. SquareSoft.

[nihongeorge]

@SegaRising Yep.

[khlova]

@SegaRising

*square

Enix Ruined square.

[BenBenjiro]

@khlova Enix ruined Square less than EA ruined Westwood

[superearthbender]

@SegaRising Umm, Square, not Square Enix. Entirely different different companies, and as far as I can tell, the creative talent in Square left in the merger. So don't go giving SE credit for either company's separate ventures.

[spaceawesome22]

@SegaRising

You would be getting a hundred thumbs up from me if I were allowed that many.

[SegaRising]

@spaceawesome22 Thank you.

[bdfan4ever]

@SegaRising Wow, I guess even though I loved Final fantasy XIII, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, Dissidia, Crisis Core, Nier and The World Ends With You, those games aren't really good at all cause they are from square-enix, right? Honestly, hating on Square-Enix is pathetic. Get over yourself.

[RedMageWolfe]

@bdfan4ever Well... Tactics Ogre is a remake, Dissidia is fanservice (although REALLY fun), Crisis Core is a FF 7 continuation so that doesn't count, I've never played TWEWY and don't like Kingdom Hearts... But I do agree that FF XIII and Nier are great games, but they're not AS good as the classics... I think that's what a lot of people mean when they hate on new SE. Just a little perspective.

[bdfan4ever]

@RedMageWolfe I'm in complete agreement about them not being anywhere near their golden age. I'm just saying that they still make great games and have the power to keep people intrigued about their projects.

[bdfan4ever]

@RedMageWolfe Oh yeah...Dragonquest 9 rocks!

[RedMageWolfe]

@bdfan4ever Good to see someone who can have an actual conversation ^^

[SegaRising]

@bdfan4ever I'll hate what I want to faggot.

[bdfan4ever]

@SegaRising Ah, homophobic slurs? I love the internet. Lol.

[SegaRising]

@bdfan4ever Mwah. Man I have a lot of haters and lovers.

[bdfan4ever]

@SegaRising Its all good, in the end, we all love awesome videogames. Thats all that matters.

[alasanof]

@SegaRising I thought it was just Square back then.

[chibiauthor]

@SegaRising we sure all miss SquareSoft

[UltraaNova]

@SegaRising You mean squaresoft :D

[crisco513]

@SegaRising Back when Square Enix didn't even exist. ';)

[bregowine]

@SegaRising Squaresoft, to be even more precise

[videohead85]

@SegaRising You mean "Back when they were SquareSoft." Square and Enix didn't merge until the 2000's (as a result of Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within's losses).

[spanio]

@videohead85 Actually, the losses of that film actually made Enix concerned about the merger. The plans for the companies to merge are older than that movie's flop at the box office.

[Morbutt]

@videohead85 Actually, the losses from Spirits Within resulted in Sony buying a ton of stock in the company, resulting in them being overly loyal to the Playstation

[RedtheGhost]

@videohead85 Nope, it was still just Square when this game was made.

[sora8711]

@SegaRising You must mean back when they were SquareSoft.

[SJT9791]

@sora8711Enix was a great company too.

[SJT9791]

@SegaRising Yeah... ever since FFXII they haven't made a good game.

[Meenners]

@SJT9791 .... since XI

[GameBeatenakaKevinS]

@Meenners

....since X.

[zsybrant]

@GameBeatenakaKevinS You're all a bunch of JRPG faggots. The last good one was 6, you bunch of stupid kids.

[GameBeatenakaKevinS]

@zsybrant

Yikes, what crawled up your ass? FF6 is one I've yet to play so I can not argue with you, but I can understand why you think so for obvious reasons. Out of the Final Fantasy's I haven't played yet, FF6 is the one I want to play most.

My favorite is FF9 followed by FF4(DS version, but whatever). 7, 8, and 10 had their flaws but I still found them enjoyable enough if not for their battle systems alone. All I know is that I will probably never touch 11, 12, 13, etc.

[Masz52]

@GameBeatenakaKevinS Why won't you give XII a shot? I love it and it's one of my favorite PS2 games.

[GameBeatenakaKevinS]

@Masz52

I played the demo that came with Dragon Quest VIII and I did not like it. It felt too similar to an MMO, which I also hate. Also I did not like that I could control one character at a time. Which is also why I dislike FF13.

[JGigs93]

@zsybrant

By calling us "a bunch of JRPG faggots" then saying "the last good one was 6", you just contradicted yourself. Unless of course you're referring to yourself as a faggot. I wonder who the "stupid kid" is now?

[zsybrant]

@JGigs93 6 was a western-influenced steampunk style game. 7 and everything after was just shitty anime with an unplayable storyline. But keep defending yourself.

[Natendo64]

@zsybrant 9 was still pretty good though, and even if the story kinda sucked at least 7 and 8 had the traditional gameplay. 10 was when the series really went downhill, and don't even get me started on how much X2 sucked.

[GameBeatenakaKevinS]

@Natendo64

FF9 had much more traditional gameplay than FF7 and FF8. 7 and 8 had you assign attribute/ability stuff to characters when 9 made everything simple and each character was unique. I would say that the story of 9 was better than the one in 7 and 8. 10 really is the turning point going downhill since some characters were annoying as well as other aspects, but the battle system was still alright. As for X-2, the ONLY thing I thought was good about that game was the battle system.

[GameBeatenakaKevinS]

@zsybrant

And those are the obvious reasons I referred to, in case anyone else was wondering what I meant by that statement.

[KamonSensei]

@SegaRising Back when Square was just ''Square'' without the Enix. ;3

[scikoolaid]

@KamonSensei Most of the people who made Mario RPG work on the Mario & Luigi/Paper Mario series you know. They don't use the same styles but they did leave Square.

[acboyer83]

@KamonSensei Actually I don't think Enix had anything to do with it. Sakaguchi leaving was probably more responsible than anything. Lost Odyssey was fantastic...

[SmashLuigiFan1]

ah, mario rpg, definitley one of the best games i ever playeed. Thank you virtual console!

[Dankore]

Love this piece. So many memories. This game had it all, solid rpg, story, new characters, sidequests and tons to collect. Probably going to go fire up the ole snes

[SupraDarky]

I'll always remember this particular track since it's the first one you hear when the adventure truly starts. I rented this game as soon as it came out and I was blown away by the graphics. I remember the first area where this plays, I'd just have fun running around and jumping, fighting some monsters here and there. It really was a refreshing RPG at the time, and it still is even after many playthroughs.
