This album takes many of those variations of the main theme (such as “Snow Mountain” and “Slide”) and makes them sound more their own. I find the original soundtrack of Super Mario 64 to be a bit lacking melodically in some areas, with some stages sporting some great tunes while many other stages recycle or remix the main theme of the game. Super Mario 64: Portrait of a Plumber really does freshen up the game’s original soundtrack, in more ways than just updating the MIDI sounds of the 64-bit era source material. I gave it a listen, and overall it is, as expected, a finely crafted album that gives a unique spin on the game’s famous soundtrack by composer Koji Kondo. Their latest project, a long-awaited tribute to the music of Super Mario 64, came out this week. This can especially be said about me as I listen to their amazing remix albums, all loving tributes to some of the most timeless video game soundtracks ever produced. Then, whenever I listen to the many amazing collaborative projects by the people at OverClocked ReMix, I pray to the stars I could somehow be as epic with an instrument as those musicians. I’m going to preface this review by admitting something: apart from a decent voice for singing in the shower, I have next to no musical talent.
