When you think of GameCube titles, Mario Sunshine is inevitably one of the first ones mentioned. Many players at the time praised Mario Sunshine for its unique gameplay mechanics, incredible soundtrack, and its memorable summertime colour palette and atmosphere. However, after we started actually making the game, it took about one and a half years to complete Super Mario Sunshine."įor perspective, Super Mario 64 took around three years and Mario Galaxy took two-and-a-half. "If we add the development period for this engine to the overall development time, the development of Super Mario Sunshine took a relatively long time.
Shigeru Miyamoto, the famous producer, then chose the orchestral piece, as it sounded the most "space-like".In a 2002 interview, Shigeru Miyamoto, one of the game's producers, opened up about Sunshine's rather short development cycle. He later presented three different styles of music: one piece had an orchestral sound, the other had pop music, and the last featured a mix of both orchestral and pop music. Yokota actually initially composed a Latin American style of music, which Kondo rejected because Mario was supposed to be "cool", which was not suited to the "cute" music Yokota created. The game's soundtrack (including this song) was composed by the brilliant Koji Kondo and Mahito Yokota at Nintendo.
I really like that the whole momentum of the song goes up and down, which is very fitting for the first mission, Bunnies in the Wind, where you need to float with the wind using these Floaty Fluffs. The subtle support from the timpani is great as well.
The violins, the flourish from the harp, and the buildup with the brass section is just excellent. Oh man, the strings in this are beyond amazing. It starts off with a loud fanfare as you fly in and the moment you touch down it gets quiet for the plucking violins to be heard. I think the song matches the background and the gameplay really well. In the game, this song can be found from "World 4" (called Bedroom in-game), from Gusty Garden Galaxy. Theme, so I wanted to share this one since only players will know it, and it's so epic everyone should know about it! Everyone only knows about the classic Mario Bros. If you've played this game before you'd know this song is iconic, and arguably one of the best songs in the Mario series.
