One of the things I’m most excited for in the Mario Movie is the music. We already got a tease of it in [the “Mushroom Kingdom” clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-3sYL7vJTQ), and I love how many games they’re pulling from, from Super Mario World to Super Mario Odyssey.
​
So I got a three-part question for you. Answer any you like.
1. What are some Mario songs, from any game in the franchise, that you’d love to see represented in the movie’s score?
2. What scene(s) do you think they’d work well in?
3. Any predictions for what will actually happen?
​
I’d love to see a rendition of [Koopa’s Road](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb59ARck26Q) from Super Mario 64. I think it would work so well in an climatic action sequence where Mario makes his way through Bowser’s Castle, jumping through a gauntlet of traps, fireballs, and platforming sections before his final confrontation with the King of Koopas himself.
Oh, and Ending Credits for the movie *has* to be [Super Mario World’s ending theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNcIAC30mWI). I would’ve loved SM64’s, but SMW’s is just too grand to pass up the opportunity.

Peach’s Castle
Gusty Garden
A Mario Kart Rainbow Road theme
Edit: I’d be a happy camper if it was SNES (any variant), GBA, Wii, 3DS or Wii U / Switch
I hope the final showdown with Bowser involves his Mario 64 boss fight music. 🎶 Dun-doo-da-doo. Dun-doo-da-doo. Dun-doo-da-doo, dun-do-dooo. 🎶
smb3: world 2
smw: star world or donut cave
The one where Pratt is not playing Mario.
The 3D World ghost house song
Cascade Kingdom music from Odyssey
I’d love some galaxy representation in terms of music. I sobt see how it would fit, as galaxy has very little in common (location wise) with the other games.
The Power Star theme
Guardian’s of the galaxy’s opening theme.
Mario Galaxy music. Even just a hint of Rosalina’s theme as a tease for the future. Because I’d rather they build towards a bigger and bigger ‘Mario’ universe/ galaxy than fast forwarded straight into other Nintendo franchises. I’d like to see the ‘Mario Party’ cast of characters all built into something cohesive rather than trying to shoe-horn Link and Zelda into the mix (then build out a world of Zelda separately!).
The dinosaur 🦕
They can pick so much from the past 35p plus years. But 5 bucks says there’ll be a pharrell williams song in the credits
Cloudtop Cruise. It feels so sprawling and epic.
– Inside the Castle’s Walls
– Athletic Theme (Super Mario World)
– Koopa’s Road
– Jump up Super Star
– Airship Theme
– N64 Rainbow Road
– Jungle Hijinx
– Cranky’s Theme
Anything from 3D World’s soundtrack. The Big Band vibe the entire OST gives is something I’d kill to hear in the film.
Do the Mario from the cartoon!
Donkey Kong Country series music
Jump up, Superstar!
As long as we get the main Peach’s castle theme from SM64 I will be happy.
