M_is_D Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Kondo's work for the Mario games sounds A LOT like american ragtime music like Joplin's? I mean, whenever I hear The Entertainer I can only imagine Mario stomping goombas :P Quote
Alex Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Yeah I have noticed that much of Kondo's work sounds very ragtime-ish. His style really has changed though. I mean, look at his score for twilight princess. Close your eyes and you'd swear it was williams. Quote

He completely changes depending on what he's scoring. Quote
Alatus Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 I wonder if they have arranged his music for Mario for any one instrument. Quote
Hands Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Yep, piano. I have lots of sheets for Mario, including the Air Platform Theme which is manifestly Joplin-esque. Quote

Guest Anders Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 I wonder if they have arranged his music for Mario for any one instrument. http://www.angelfishy.net/Mario.mus Is all of it in there? I think so. It's a transcription of that Mario medley by the blindfolded pianist. Quote
