The Super Mario Bros. Movie Soundtrack
The Super Mario Bros. game series is known for its catchy and memorable music, and the soundtrack of the movie is no exception. Koji Kondo, the legendary composer behind many Nintendo games, teamed up with Brian Tyler, who composed music for popular movies like Avengers: Age of Ultron and Crazy Rich Asians, to reimagine the classic Super Mario Bros. music for the movie.
Tyler spoke about the honor of writing music for the movie: "I know the Mario music so well and have always been very nostalgic about all the music that Koji Kondo has written for the games. It was an absolute delight to be able to not just write new themes and music to represent Mario in this film, but to merge it with the music that Koji Kondo wrote for the games."
The Super Mario Bros. Movie soundtrack by iam8bit includes all 36 tracks from the movie, including Bowser's piano ballad "Peaches" in its complete version. The 2xLP vinyl version comes in a magnificent gatefold jacket with art from Illumination, and the record sleeves feature Super Mario Bros. icons. The vinyl is pressed on red and green records, and an exclusive pink and yellow colorway is available only on iam8bit.com.
Other physical formats include a CD version with the complete movie soundtrack on 2 discs in a premium four-panel package, and a cassette tape version with the complete soundtrack packed into a randomly distributed red or green colorway. Fans can also pre-order a special 7" single featuring Bowser's piano ballad "Peaches" on the A side and the classic "Mario Brothers Rap" on the B side.
