Style: Video game music
Primary Emotions/Themes: remixes and various renditions of Mario's themes throughout the years
Thoughts: I used to have a lot more of these Smash Ultimate records. I ended up selling nearly all of them just because I didn't like the way that the Smash versions of their music sounded. Mario was the big exception.
The way that most of these soundtracks work is that the remix team takes the origonal songs and adds guitars and other rock instruments to them. Most of the time this does nothing for me, in fact it actively makes the music worse. With Mario's songs though they didn't rockify them, rather they just updated a lot of the instruments. This approach is much better and I actually quite enjoy most of these renditions of the Mario soundtracks.
I haven't played a Smash game in ages, I thought I would give the music a shot... and ultimately (get it?) it fell short for me. At this point I only have Mario and Megaman left, and that is more then enough for me from the Ultimate series of records.
