Koji Kondo - 20 minutes of his best music (Mario/Zelda)

The hardest compilation to make so far. Doing equal justice to both Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda in 20 minutes is nearly impossible! Yet I tried my best and I hope you enjoy it :)
Kondo's music for Super Mario Bros was designed around the feeling of motion that mirrors the player's physical experience. This followed the philosophy of series creator and designer, Shigeru Miyamoto, who demanded that audio for the game be made "with substance" and are synchronized with elements of the game. As a result, Kondo based a number of the score around genres that are primary used for dancing, such as Latin music and the waltz.
In the first The Legend of Zelda, Kondo juxtaposes the game's overworld theme with the theme that plays in dungeons. Kondo remarked on the importance of projecting distinct characters through music, so that players know almost immediately where they are within the game. Kondo used this contrast in other games he worked on, including Super Mario Bros.

Mario 64 followed by Ocarina of Time may be the best one-two combo in video game music history!
