Dark Souls: Let's-a Go! Edition

The Mario world theme feels a lot like a fight against a pure unthinking monster. This feels like a heroic fight against a tyrannical king. A more civilized threat.

Yes. You get it. You get the music.

1:05 I can imagine that part where the ground breaks into pieces and forms into a star. It's perfect.

I just realise how Bowser is freaking scary and powerful Mario's brave to fight against him....

Who would win? One gigantic, menacing, evil turtle with the ability to breath fire, gnaw it’s enemies and crush any foe under its weight... *Or One Plumber Boi*

I love how your remixes portray kid-friendly characters like Bowser in a much more menacing and ominous light compared to the official games.

Hell yes. The Organ with the Orchestra and choir makes it sound so much more fuller and epic. This is truly an impressive sounding piece you've crafted

Bowser finally took the hint and made use of those mushrooms

*S O* *L O N G* *G A Y* *B O W S E R !*

I fear no man, But that thing, **Ultimate koopa theme** It scares me.

The huge room Mario entered was empty, or so it seemed. The darkness around him felt like a blanket of fog, impossible to navigate or even to see through. Igniting a fireball in his hand, Mario turned around, holding it out in front of him like a torch but the oppressive darkness only allowed a small circle of light to shine around the plumber. A cold chill filled the room, sending chills crawling up his spine. Taking a few tentative steps forward, Mario attempted to get his bearings, all the while thoughts of Peach and Luigi raced through his mind. He hadn't seen his brother since they were ambushed back at the throne room and the last he'd seen of the princess was when that damned Koopa's brat of a son, Bowser Jr, taunted him just after he and Luigi had been separated. He'd taken care of that fairly easily, but Peach was nowhere to be found. "You destroyed my army," a deep growling voice reverberated through the room. Whirling around, Mario saw two large red eyes glaring at him. Instinctively, he hurled his fireball at them but it was swallowed by the darkness and the eyes vanished. He ignited another just as the voice spoke again. "You defeated my most trusted servants," The eyes were to his left; again, he threw the fireball with the same result. A cold chill filled the room, causing the hair on Mario's neck to stand up. "And now, you kill my son!" The voice shouted the last words and the eyes appeared directly in front of the plumber. Startled, Mario stumbled back only to see the eyes behind him, to his right, the left. He was completely surrounded. "You will pay for that, plumber," Bowser's voice declared, "No more tricks, no more games!" The eyes surrounding Mario began to move, swirling around the terrified plumber before finally coming together at a point not far in front of him. A burst of red light flashed, causing Mario to shield his eyes for a moment, and illuminated a huge, dark shape. That shape began to rise on two giant legs, a massive tail swishing out behind it and two huge arms stretched out to the side. A large, horned head rose from the top of the shape and before Mario had a chance to react, the gigantic Giga Bowser sent him flying backward with one swipe. Dazed, Mario stumbled to his feet as the Koopa king stepped forward, the red light revealing him fully, and let out a earth shattering roar of pure fury. Despite the fear, Mario managed a smirk. "That's a good-a trick, Bowser," he told the gargantuan turtle, "But this is a-why I brought-a my little friend." Reaching into his back pocket, Mario pulled a small, glowing item; a Starman. Energy pulsed from the little being as Mario looked up at his towering foe with renewed confidence. Giga Bowser's eyes narrowed and he huffed in derision, smoke billowing from his nostrils. His voice lowered to a chilling snarl. "And you're going to need him."

The drop at 1:43 is incredible.

This is how I believe it would sound if SM64 were to be remade. You captured exactly how it sounds but made it.. better! Easily the best one I've heard, great job :)

It's over Mario, I have the High Ground

This. Is. Perfect. Every instrument gets its moment to highlight how intense this piece is. I loved the original from the first moment I reached bowser as a child. This makes me remember how terrifying and epic of a fight I was facing at the time. Thank you for your rendition of this piece.

If I don’t hear something similar to this when Mario fights Bowser in the Mario movie then I’m leaving.

If bowser was a dark souls boss

Nintendo needs to make a remake of the game (not the DS version), but with updated music like this. This is perfection!

For who don't recognize, the bowser in the background is Giga Bowser

Pl.. please... More Mario... This.. It... *It's beautiful..*

when bowser keeps his tail retracted at all times during the battle

God this song takes me back. And as the song goes along I can remember the third battle where when you hit the second bomb and the stage collapses into a star. Good times.

Thank you for doing justice to this criminally underrated piece of music.

Make Bowser Terrifying Again, Nintendo!

one of The best boss muisic ever made and its underrated asf. pure gold

Super Mario 64 remake and maybe even plus 18... That would be horror pure... The gigantic Murray, Bowser... So many things to do!

SO UHHHHHHH THIS NEEDS TO BE IN THE ILLUMINATION MOVIE !!!!!!!

One of my favorite remixes, I wish it could have gone on just a little longer. One last big drop.

Like Dracula fight in that scene

How awesome it would be to have this played for the final showdown in the upcoming movie.

when you're a Nintendo employee and Doug Bowser calls you to his office...

Bowser just wouldn't be Bowser without his gloating and signature themes! This is soo faithful to the N64 game, it gives me chills just listening. You made a very very happy Bowser fan😉

This is just Outstanding, i mean you captured exactly how the final battle is like,it's brilliantly done.

Koji kondo is truly a master at making remarkable songs for these games. Some of his work take me back 15 years into my old room, playing ocarina of time in my old n64. I wonder if he knew back then what those songs would mean to his fans.

This is Giga Bowser's theme or something. Really epic

2 words. Bowser's Fury

I can just imagine how this would end up as a possible remake

Ok, this sounds really epic, i love it.

this is the perfect song for the final battle between bowser and super mario in the movie of... Super Mario

If they ever remake Mario 64 again, they should use this as the final boss theme. It is great! (Giga Bowser also looks extremely cool!)

When the drama teacher gives you a ten hour essay over the Christmas holidays

this is... just pure phenomenal.. i cannot describe the sheer intensity i felt while listening to this. it's a pure orgasm to the ears and it gives such a strong feeling from within thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece

HOLY SHIT ITS REAL

I bid thee farewell homosexual bowser

That was powerful but also not unfaithful to the original composition! Great job!

Woaw! That's trully amazing! It's awesome, it seems like it comes from a movie!!!

suddenly I feel villainous

"Super Mario 64 the Movie" If only... Excellent piece to an Excellent classic

When I was a child I use to switch off the volume when was time to fight with the final Bowser. Now that I'm 19 I'm still feeling fear with this theme, and this version it's simply beautiful. The composition of this orchestra is fantastic! Love it

Holy god, I wasn’t expecting this! This is not something I’ve heard orchestrated perfectly, nor was I ever expecting to, but your use of this song rivals and beats that of Dylan H. Loyd and Alex Hull by a personally massive margin! This is, not even kidding, a rare occasion for me to sub instantly. You’re the second channel to do this in a year.

Oh now this- this is beautiful.

When you are Level 1 and go straight to the final boss:

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN STAR.wow my heart and my tears just connect at the same time there😣

Imagine hearing this, in the new Mario film, guys, haha

The true final battle to save the world begins... mario vs devil bowser, king of the koopas

I got chills down my spine! This is amazing! 🔥🔥

Man, this remix is intense! It honestly feels like it could fit into a Castlevania boss battle theme.

You predicted Bowser’s Fury with that art

Remind me toccata and fugue D in minor

Way to make Super Mario look like Dark Soul’s!

Bowser final fight but its actually something to be scared mama mia

A kid-friendly cartoon having such scary and epic music like THAT? So uncivilized but really impressive.

The memories are real!!! I was scared of this level when I was little and the music was what made it for me. Thanks for such an amazing piece

Easily the best Bowser theme remix I have *ever* heard. *AMAZING*

I put this at full volume and regret absolutely nothing

"So long, Gay Bowser!"

Everyone is comparing this to the Dark Soul's soundtrack, but honestly the organ and choir gives me some Final Fantasy vibes.

Excellent remix ! Magnifique, vraiment magnifique ! Bravo, GG ! Nostalgie :'3

Mario: let’s go Bowser bowser: you’re not gonna win this time

I like how instead of just making Bowser look like a regular monster, the artwork used his Giga Bowser form.

Definitely getting "Bowser in final fantasy" vibes

Whoa! Wasn't expecting to see this in the same day! Awesome work as always, man!

Such an epic orchestration Think you can do a Metroid one? Would love to hear one from you

when bowser finally decides to remove that one glaring weakness

This was definitely the most badass and actually moving orchestrations of this song I’ve ever heard. Like, thinking about an orchestra performing this brought a tear to my eye. I only wish it was longer so that I could continue to enjoy this. There was so much emotion portrayed in this! Maybe take some of the other Mario pieces and string them together in movements! :0 but seriously I could listen to this for hours and not get sick of it. Fantastic job!

I used to thought Bowser was scary as a kid. Seeing the photo just brought back those old childhood fears and accomplishments in fighting him off.

It reminds me of Dracula's theme

I actually teared up a bit listening to this. It's a beautiful remix.

Interesting choice to go with Giga Bowser. I approve. This music is so faithful to the original and even better. Thank you for this.

Absolutely wonderful. Great job.

Phirst

this is easily some of your best work. I can tell a lot of time and passion went into this. Its amazing.

This is amazing. This makes me remember how legitimately terrified I was as a kid playing the first time. This score matches how my imagination interpreted the original. Well done.

it would’ve been great to hear this at the super mario movie. or at least a reference in the ost or somethin’.

OK we all want this very badly Mario versus giga Bowser with this music playing in the background as a final showdown

I LOVE THE ORGAN AND I LOVE WHAT YOU DID WITH IT

This gave me chills--amazing work!

''Mario, you again? Well thats fine i've been looking something to burn with my breath. All your friends are trapped in the castle walls and you'll never see the princess again! HAHAHAHAAHA"

Bowser's fury

Jesus. That was amazing. Well done!

An absolute masterpiece.

Beautiful

Holy shit, I don’t know what’s better, the music or the image that came with it.

Mario: ITTSA ME MARIOOO AND IMMA HERE TO A FUCK YOU UP *Activates Super Star* Bowser:A shit here we go again

"Mario...so, you've come at last. I knew I'd see you again--you never know when to leave well enough alone. I suppose it's just as well; I've been looking for something to incinerate, and you'll do nicely. "And I wouldn't count on the power of the Stars to save you again. No matter what kind of power your pitiful friends might have given you thus far, they will remain imprisoned in the castle walls as a testament to my ultimate triumph. And you? You will kneel at my feet, or perish at my claws. Either way..." *"You will* *_NEVER_* *see the princess again!!!"*

Not going to lie, when I first played mario64 ds, this is how I thought this theme sounded in my head

"It seems you've gotten me into my final form, Mario!" "Grahahahahaha!" "Good luck, Mario! Not like you'll ever be gettin' it once I stomp on you the same way you stomped on my troops!" "Oh, and about that Power Star. You'll never be gettin' it back. After I defeat you, it will be destroyed. And the princess AND the Mushroom Kingdom will be MINE!" "GRAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!"

Now if only the actual battle were this freaking epic. Seriously well done!

This song is from the Mario movie, because it's so good
