Daiki Kasho has been a prolific contributor to the soundtrack of the GT series, though the quality of his output has been variable. GT3 was the high point in my opinion.

>>63860028
That feel when the own creator of Mario has to beg Nintendo to let him use an actual orchestra because they were so low on money... Feels bad Man
>>63864304

If we're talking Mario games, obviously the only answer is Super Mario World
Beautiful soundtrack even with the limited hardware. On Piano it definitely holds up
This guy has never played the game or even heard this song. He plays it from reading sheet music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZMroQOtS_U
This is just a medley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Hefp4ydno&nohtml5=False
Just beautifully arranged all around
>>63866588
Sounds like something from the SNES.
Probably a game published by either Square or Enix.
That's all I got.
![filia__s_win_pose_by_oh8[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/2XhDjLh.jpg "filia__s_win_pose_by_oh8[1].jpg")

It's almost like it was composed by a genius composer.
Oh, yeah, IT WAS composed by a genius composer.
Michiru Yamane had composed for Konami for years and composed music for various Castlevania games before going independent.
Her resume includes but is not limited to:
Castlevania: Bloodlines (Incredible soundtrack)
Rocket Knight Adventures
Contra Hard Corps
Sparkster
Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance
and other various Castlevania
A couple of songs for Super Smash Bros. Wii U
>>63863968
Probably because anything Skyward Sword did right was scrubbed out by everything it did wrong.

It's criminal that Maximo has been forgotten.
Some of the best music I've ever heard in a videogame.
Composed by Tommy Tellerico, of Earthworm Jim fame. The guy is a great composer.
This shit sounds like it comes from a fucking Pirates of The Caribbean orchestrated soundtrack

Maximo: Ghosts To Glory
Maximo vs Army of Zin
Both for PS2 and released as a downloadable classic for PS3
I've always loved the Final Fantasy 8 version of the classic ff theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsVCmHwTpVY
