The SMB1 underground theme is one of the most frequently re-used themes throughout the mario series but 64 quite easily is my favourite rendition of the theme by far.
I know this comment was made two years ago but- same. I love all the melodies at play within the song. And the slow, mysterious vibe of it really makes me feel like Mario exploring some abandoned watery ruins or an untouched cave. It's really an amazing melody all around. In short, as a wise man once said: "It really makes you FEEL like Mario"
Almost nobody agrees with me probably, but wet-dry world will always be my favorite level. From solving (rather simple) puzzles to wall-kicking and triple-jumping your way around most of the level to of course discovering the secret underwater town, wet-dry world is by far the best level. Plus this music is both catchy and a little eerie. Love love love love love it!!
@@Mi_Fa_Volare yeah when i played through this game for the first time (fairly recently) i thought it was dope, like it seemed to almost be slightly optimistic
the rising water town has many buildings inside of it. those buildings were likely inhabited at one point and the doors are way too small for most of the enemies. the skybox of wet dry world is a picture of casares from spain but edited to have water high in the sky. theres a chance that wet dry world is from a world that was similar to ours, but got consumed by water and the previous owners of the buildings you can see were likely forced to leave or drowned. there is also the thing where some people feel really negative emotions in that stage and though its probably because its a really claustrophobic stage it could also just be the feeling of desolation within a dead water world
It's with Wet Dry world itself, not the theme. It's to do with the sunken, underwater town and the weird skybox texture. It just irks some people in a weird way. I definitely got an uneasy feeling playing the stage as a kid, especially after getting to the abandoned sunken city.
When the beat starts up at 0:33 I can picture Gary's (from spongebob) eyes knocking together from that one episode where he leads the jellyfish conga line out of his house or w/e. The Jellyfish Jam I think
To anyone who says this doesn't give off a negative emotional aura, please keep in mind this music is different because of the fact it's from a highly personalized cartridge of Super Mario 64 that makes Wet-Dry World give off a positive emotional aura.
this is absolutely true, when i entered Wet Dry World in my personalized copy, instead of playing the original theme, it played the intro to Ronaldinho Soccer 64
@@whact Damn, my cartridge had such a good emotional aura on that level that it played happy celebratory music with trumpets and it gave me a girlfriend in real life
@@HyperMotionDX nono i didnt even remember what the level was so i couldnt..didnt remember anything except for that tone :p no need to call ppl names rudy
It could be the urine turned into gas too, since it looks yellowish. Other than that, the theory about Hazy Maze Cave being the Septic System is plausible.
0:04 This little part i love, I wish it was incorporated more into the rest of this to make it more mysterious sounding. Still a good underground theme remix Ive memorized from all my time solving puzzles in Wet-dry world.
People just feel a little lonely in this level and don’t want to admit that they’re just afraid of it, so instead, they call it a “negative emotional aura”. It’s ok to feel scared of a level haha
Idk how they made the Underground theme from SMB1 so otherworldly and unsettling in this but holy heck did they do it. This coupled with the atmosphere of Wet Dry World makes SM64 feel more like Silent Hill than anything
Its also a good "odd" song when something doesn't quite fit any theme When something doesn't quite fit the ground theme or ice,or lava or desert, not even space or sky it's just kinda there
Something that is really cool about this song is that when you're in certain areas of the levels this song plays in the instruments change from the normal version( 0:01 ) to the "choir" version ( 1:52 ). So when you enter the hazy maze in hazy maze cave it phases out the main instruments for the choir ones, same thing for the town in wet dry world.
I know what you mean. There are a lot of songs that are reused in this game but they're often reused in levels that have nothing in common with each other so you don't really notice it.
Because people love to jump on bandwagons and regurgitate the latest popular opinion. Level was a little experimental and odd? It's obviously the "nEgAtIvE eMoTiOnAl AuRa!!!"
Have you read through the comments though? While no one out right uses the words "negative emotional aura" I have found quite a few describing how odd and creepy the level is. On the other hand, I have also seen people describing it as relaxing, so who knows!
I feel like I'm in the minority when I never felt anything negative about Wet-Dry World, but I never felt positive either. To me it was just another level, I was sort of indifferent to it. However, the theme to the Endless Stairs scared the crap out of me. Like, oh hey, here's what a descent into lunacy sounds like. You know, for kids!
The audio alone gives me a feeling of odd tranquility. The level itself feels like a funhouse with liminal space or unfinished/demos level type of unease.
What is up with wet dry world negative aura? That level was honestly pretty fun and I enjoyed it. Also this soundtrack is one of the few that doesn't get annoying, it is a nice remix of SMB underground. It is honestly a bop. Idk what everyone is talking about.
@@Duif420 While I agree some people might just be dramatic, others probably actually feel this way or have felt this way. It definitely comes down to personal opinion, as well as how you view the stage.
So younger me used to think Wet Dry World was the Mario World's verison of Alantis with the machines and changing water level devices being what remains when Bowser took over and kidnapped everyone.
I loved this level when I was a kid love it even more now that I find out there’s this cult like understating that everyone went through this fear as a kid just found the original song too and it’s amazing
I remember I used to come to this world to figure out some demented meaning towards it, yeah the whole world was very.. depressing, water felt like you were gonna drown it it, the world outside felt so abandoned, you the player felt alone other than the enemies you encounter in the whole stage but even then, imagine you were the only person in that stage, different feeling entirely. I had a dream once where I was in that world and I felt so claustrophobic and scared, making me think I was gonna drown in the water or something worse. I dunno this is my take on the whole wet dry world depressing aura thing. But to sum it up. This world felt very off compared to new mario titles
Wet dry world looks like a beta level and there are many monsters that throw you around so you don't have control so that is maybe the reason of the emotional aura
To me, it's the ultimate "exposition for an unknown, secretive location" song. Hazy Maze Cave is complicated, and the first room tells you nothing besides that it's perilous and you're underground. I remember using this in a school project years ago. People instantly picked up the scene's emotion because this level has a pretty universal experience for all players.
I personally don't get the weird feelings people get from this song and Wet Dry world's skybox, this song's a banger and the skybox is genuinely kinda cool
am i the only person who fsr got nostalgic and kinda felt at home in Wet Dry World? Like it's really the only level in this game that gives me nostalgia and I've no reason why
Main part of the song: you’re in the main parts of the mine or the main part of the Wet Dry world. The changeover at 1:54 (and the music onward): You’re either in the poison air maze or the underground lake, or you’re in the water town on the other side of the Wet Dry world.
“Negative emotional aura”
Bruh wym I’m jamming rn
Same
Same
same
Same but blueberry flavour
its a good, and mysterious song, but pairing it with a level like wet dry world can make it unnerving
I've no idea how the song sprouts a 'negative emotional aura' - shit's a banger
Its the level, not the song. I agree its fucking stupid tho
The way you have to deal with this level is giving a “negative emotional aura”
Dumbass creepypastas
Negative emotional aura?
1:48 ah nevermind the aura starts to kick in
the part in wet-dry world where you shoot out of the cannon and it looks like you're gonna fly straight into the city in the background
That creeped me out
Ahhhhhh
The flooded city
always horrible
I mean, you techinally kind of go there? It's a little walled-off area, sure. But it's still a sunken city with buildings similar to the skybox.
The SMB1 underground theme is one of the most frequently re-used themes throughout the mario series but 64 quite easily is my favourite rendition of the theme by far.
I know this comment was made two years ago but- same. I love all the melodies at play within the song. And the slow, mysterious vibe of it really makes me feel like Mario exploring some abandoned watery ruins or an untouched cave. It's really an amazing melody all around.

Wet dry world was actually my favorite level in 64 and so was this song
It feels so mysterious, I love it
The Dire Dire Docks/ Jolly Roger Bay music is better
@@abcxyz53 I DO NOT agree with you

I loved it!
nope
WDW was always my favorite level as a kid
It´s both weird and fun as hell,gotta love it
Relaxing, unlike the levels.
Yea, ain't nothing relaxing about Hazy Maze Cave. It scared the shit out of me as a little kid that I was going to end up trapped there lost forever.
Wet dry world is so relaxing though
Not true, dire dire docks is easy because you can legit skip it in a 0 star run
Yes they are! Specially Wet Dry World
You call this relaxing?
memes aside wet dry world was very very unsettling
What about the DS version of the stage?
I can't share that opinion. It's a cool world.
@@Mi_Fa_Volare 8.5/10 great stage
I theorize because it's more contained/claustrophobic that other levels and it's more "urban".
@@Mi_Fa_Volare yeah when i played through this game for the first time (fairly recently) i thought it was dope, like it seemed to almost be slightly optimistic
Forget this music giving you a negative emotional aura, this is giving me the energy to travel to a Parallel Universe
Nice reference
That bassline still gets stuck in my head.
I really love wet dry worlds theme especially that killer bass
yes
this was actually my favorite song in Mario 64
Mine too!!
Same this music is amazing
second's favorite, imo Jolly Roger Bay/Dire Dire Docks is better
the rising water town has many buildings inside of it. those buildings were likely inhabited at one point and the doors are way too small for most of the enemies. the skybox of wet dry world is a picture of casares from spain but edited to have water high in the sky. theres a chance that wet dry world is from a world that was similar to ours, but got consumed by water and the previous owners of the buildings you can see were likely forced to leave or drowned.
there is also the thing where some people feel really negative emotions in that stage and though its probably because its a really claustrophobic stage it could also just be the feeling of desolation within a dead water world
I never realized the background was under water, if it is then that makes no sense
tl:dr
Bruh its literally an Atlantis level lmao
@@PXDessert makes sense
Wait.... there is water you raise up and down in the stage but also more water in the skybox....
Which is the real water!?
How do people feel a negative emotional aura?? This song is just a jam.
another kid who judges but who has probably never played Mario 64 🙄😒
@Xiam I have played SM64 on the N64, Wii, and on Switch, so please don’t tell lies about people.

HOW CAN PEOPLE FEEL SAD WITH THIS BOP PLAYING!?
They are talking to the background of the flooded buildings not the songs.but you are right about how it is a bop
Probably the fact that the second half of the song is clearly sad sounding compared to the first half?
@@fernandothesailorwaddledee6237 Yeah, basically the main reason for the level to feel weird is just the skybox.
@@DoomKidwhat?
Maybe the emptiness of the actual level?
I know everybody is unsettles by this level, but Wet Dry World is a blast to go through. Fun level.
0:04 This little part i love, I wish it was incorporated more into the rest of this to make it more mysterious sounding. Still a good underground theme remix Ive memorized from all my time solving puzzles in Wet-dry world.
I love how the swimming beast/underground town part of the song is a remix of the airship theme
idk what a "negative emotional aura" is, but if it's this, i love it.
It’s not the song it’s the level aswell.
People just feel a little lonely in this level and don’t want to admit that they’re just afraid of it, so instead, they call it a “negative emotional aura”.
It’s ok to feel scared of a level haha
this song hits when your in the cavern with the sea monster
That thing is terrifying especially reading the sign before it.
Idk how they made the Underground theme from SMB1 so otherworldly and unsettling in this but holy heck did they do it. This coupled with the atmosphere of Wet Dry World makes SM64 feel more like Silent Hill than anything
I relate more to hazy maze cave with this, its that perfect cave atmosphere
Its also a good "odd" song when something doesn't quite fit any theme
When something doesn't quite fit the ground theme or ice,or lava or desert, not even space or sky it's just kinda there
It has the underground theme in there, it’s definitely got an HMC feel to it
this music is killer honestly
Yeah Gary, play those eye stalks!

Wet Dry World and Hazy Maze Cave will always be my favourite levels and part of that is because of this absolute banger
This is a positive emotional aura
"As a kid, i yearned for the mines"
When the happy upbeat music (Tiny Huge Island, Snowman Land) turns mysterious and ominous
I.. how didn't I know these were the same song. I guess I never went to Hazy Maze Cave unless I absolutely needed to, but still.

Never, until now I heard people saying anything about wet dry world emotional aura. The older comments also say nothing about it.
That's cause the idea of it having negative emotional aura was just ingrained into their brain when this whole L is Real 2401 thing came around
Totally, I can’t compressive to people who says this shit have a depress aura. I find this soundtrack chill n’ relaxing
Because people love to jump on bandwagons and regurgitate the latest popular opinion. Level was a little experimental and odd? It's obviously the "nEgAtIvE eMoTiOnAl AuRa!!!"

querras decir koji kondo, el fue el compositor de los juegos de nintendo en aquellos tiempos
This theme was the sound a stressful time... until METAL MARIO! Theme kicks in.
regardless of negative emotional aura, this is a good song to listen too whilst researching the Mario 64 rabbit hole
The music is fine, it's just the level itself. It has weird vibes, but the music is a banger ngl. And yeah, I'm very late to the conversation.
this song gives me the tingles
For some reason, this always gives me goosebumps. Especially the beginning.
1:02 was NOT expecting metal mario to pop outta nowhere
take this as a jumpscare warning
I did not expect to find this when I searched up the Hmc (Howl's Moving Castle) theme, but I'm not complaining.

One of the best pieces of game music composed ever.
Wet dry world looks like a beta level and there are many monsters that throw you around so you don't have control so that is maybe the reason of the emotional aura
And the dull color palette doesn't really help either.

The fact that there are dry bones and boos in the little underwater town has some dark implications that went over my head as a kid.

It’s astounding that this songs an absolute BOP, even after all these years later

Wet Dry World is so unsettling. Is it an actual place, or is it just an illusion in a painting?
“Negative aura”? What the hell is wrong with the people who said that. This song is jamming and the levels are very fun!

wet and dry world always gave me a feeling of mystery and that something had happened in that world i remember my discomfort being in that world

Main part of the song: you’re in the main parts of the mine or the main part of the Wet Dry world.
The changeover at 1:54 (and the music onward):
You’re either in the poison air maze or the underground lake, or you’re in the water town on the other side of the Wet Dry world.
