    The 8-Bit Big Band "One Minute Bytes" #16 - "Athletic Theme" from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (Gameboy). One of my most played games of all time growing up! I used to just sit still in the levels that had this music and listen to it as long as I could, that is until the timer ran out and Mario died!
    One Minute Bytes is our series of short videos dedicated to melodies and themes from within video games that deserve to be arranged even if they might not be the main theme of said game. Hope you enjoy these small, sharable, bite sized chunks of video game music!

    Revisiting this video to say I'm doing a 365 Days of Music challenge this year, and I chose this for Day 279! My comments on it are below:
    **Day 279:** "Super Mario Land 2: Athletic Theme - One Minute Bytes #16 (The 8-Bit Big Band)"
    The Super Mario Bros. Movie got its first trailer. I have a lot of thoughts about it, but let's just say I really want to see this movie.
    Let's say that this theme captures my excitement and wonderment at what just happened.
    This is one of my personal favorite main themes for a Mario game, and the title is understandably quite overlooked -- Super Mario Land 2 is a solid game and a technical feat for the Game Boy. It's not one of Mario's best adventures, but it's certainly not one of his worst.
    This theme sounds like the opening to a crazy, fun extravaganza of entertainment. The curtain has been raised, everyone's dancing on stage, people are on unicycles, the whole bit. And this stellar arrangement dials this feeling up to 100. The xylophone adds a circus-y flair, while the drums (especially the bongos) create this rapid, zany energy like someone's trying their absolute hardest not to slip on a banana peel for about a minute straight. Yet, despite the goofier elements of this track, the strings are elegant and grandiose and the piano is subtle but charming, adding a depth and complexity to the track that would certainly be missed without it. And only on my...what, fifteenth listen did I even *notice* the mallet instruments behind the main melody throughout much of the song. And the chimes! The tubular bell chimes!
    There's just SO MUCH GOING ON HERE, but it all works wonderfully well. We have a wonderful balance of quantity and quality here: the kind of balance that is achieved by just having a ton of both.
