If any city reminds me of rougeport it's Seattle WA. Our government has let the city go to crap. It is riddles with crime and the police can't do nothing about because of the people who voted for the police to be defunded. And those same people wonder why it takes so long for the police to help or to do anything.
You never know how hard this song really goes until you listen to it with headphones. I love how there's this up tempo, fast paced beat to represent the chaos and bustle of Rogueport, but this more sinister, bassy beat in the background to signify the town's ruthlessness, dangers and Mafia-adled background.
The town where, all within five minutes of arrival: - you have to break up a street fight - you are greeted by a noose just smack dab in the middle of the town square - you are robbed for half your life savings - you meet a guy who demands money for passage into part of town, and is perfectly willing to stab you to death with a spear if you don't comply God, I love this game.
One of the most memorable locations of any Mario game, ever. Every other starting level is all sunshine and rainbows (often literally) but this games takes us to a seedy port town with a crime syndicate, a street gang, thieves, muggers, and pickpockets; heck, Mario gets half his coins swiped by a Bandit just minutes after arriving in town! Rogueport has so much more personality than Toad Town, Delfino Plaza, or even Peach's Castle. It's dirty, rustic, and dangerous, and yet it has a certain charm that I absolutely love in a Mario game. And I haven't even mentioned the ancient city buried underneath Rogueport that serves in lieu of city sewers, with the Thousand-Year Door and the Palace of Shadow at it's heart, not to mention the Pit of 100 Trials. As soon as you step off the boat, the games let you know right on the nose that you ain't in -Kansas- the Mushroom Kingdom anymore.
Not to be nitpicky, but what do you mean "even Peach's Castle", listing it AFTER Delfino Plaza as though Peach's Castle from SM64 had any character or personality to it at all, let alone enough to be placed ABOVE Delfino Plaza? Unless this is another iteration of Peach's Castle I don't know about, SM64 literally had that dumb but kinda true creepypasta going around a few years ago talking about how "every copy is personalised" because of how unsettling and empty the castle is. Delfino Plaza on the other hand, if you speak to the piantas, has so much life to it. As the game progresses you can hear different developments from lots of the characters. There's those 2 guys near the beach who are angry with each other, the guy on the island who is alone and then gets back to the mainland, and plenty others. Sunshine is a mixed bag for some people, but the hub world and honestly the worlds in general feel very alive.
I absolutely fuckin love the lore in this game... A shifty port filled with criminals and a mafia, right ontop of the ruins of a much bigger empire. Really does remind me of Mexico and Greece for that reason and I love it.
U can hear the whole story of rouge port in this song. The meeting the discovery and being aware of the shady stuff happening hidding the glorious and trágic past of this land.. really feels like u are part of the story and i really cannot think in another game that made me feel like this
One of Yuka Tsujiyoko's few compositions for the game (also including Petal Meadows, Boggly Woods, The Great Boggly Tree, most of the boss themes, etc.) and it's arguably one of the best town themes in all of gaming.
I always thought Rougeport is some sort of Hub world. To go to faraway place, you can either travel through pipes via Rougeport sewer, a blimp, a ship or train.
I completely agree with you. I do not hate the remake version, I think it's a very good song, but it's COMPLETELY OUT OF PLACE, it's way too intense for the context it is used in. At most it can work as a battle theme, but it sounds completely out of place in Rogueport considering you are just walking around talking to NPCs doing absolutely nothing exciting
modern mario music is hella overproduced, the more subdued type of music this game had was so much more dignified but the composers have really lost interest in it
@@JM-zo5me yeah, i love how it captures a run down old and somewhat forgotten port town out on the ocean, and with the remake, it makes it sound like mexico, which i think is cool either way, both are good, but i love the original alot.
@@SkyrushFanboy I have played Bug Fables a lot and mostly agree, though the Rogueport area is full of a great atmosphere and great lore that does top that game in a way. I do appreciate BF for having a bigger hub world though with a lot more sidequests.
Did anyone else comeback to the original songs after hear the remixes in the remake. Some of the music is good but for the most part it doesn't have the same feel as the original did.
As it shouldn’t, because they’ll never be able to “recapture” the sound of the original. The original’s soundtrack, while not my personal cup of tea, aged remarkably well because of the use of electronic sounding instruments. Instead, they did the next best thing: They had Yoshito Sekigawa, the original main composer, serve as the sound director and lead composer for the remake and reimagine the entire OST with his sound team.
@@PianistTanooki I don't think the problem with this song's remix in particular is tied to the hardware limitations of the original making it sound "special", I think they just completely messed up the genre. The remix is way too intense for the context it is used in, you are just walking around in a city and talking to NPCs, doing nothing exciting or thrilling, it sounds completely out of place and does not fit what you are seeing on screen at all. It is a very good remix if taken out of context, something that I would lose my mind over if I heard it on youtube (shouout to all creators who make remixes of videogame music btw), AT MOST it can be a good battle theme, but it's not fit for its assigned role
YOOOO I HAD A DREAM THE OTHER WITH THIS SONG BUT FORGOT WHAT IT WAS!!! ITS BEEN YEARS SINCE I HAVE PLAYED THIS GAME SINCE LIKE 2007!!! YET THIS APPEARED TO ME IN A DREAM??? WHAT DOWS THIS MEAN???? I SPENT LIKE AN HOUR SEARCHING FOR AND HERE IT IS!!! NOSTALGIC!! THANKS DREM THIS SONG IS A FUCK!!!
I forgot how this sounded, but I still like this version equally because it makes Rogueport feel like Rogueport, an innocent looking city filled with crime.
You know I often wonder if Paper Mario will ever become a separate playable character than the usual Mario in Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, or Mario Sports games.
@@Liam16 Not an L take at all, this version of the song definitely sounds WAY better. The new one isnt bad by any means but its far tooo....much? Is what i wanna say. Instruments are kinda everywhere and theres no real control of the tone, compared to the classic one we have here. Feels they wanted to go an orchestral route and went overboard
@@53Spawn agreed, I feel like it's a trend for remakes to go overboard with the music they just add a bunch of extra notes and add more instruments. I prefer the more simple and direct songs of the original.
People are gonna hate me for my OPINION, but I don't really like the many dialogue. It kinda makes the game boring to read that all especially for people who are doing playthroughs on Twitch or as RUclips videos. But. Yes there's a but. The battle system is alright & the walking through the 3D areas are also alright.
i still think its funny how happy and upbeat this song is for being in the mario equivalent of detroit
With a fucking NOOSE in the middle of it
@@Mercure250loved the artistic decision of combining Detroit and Middle Ages Paris

God, I love this game.
And all of this in a Mario game of all things.
Don't forget meeting a lady who won't let you go to another part of town until you get her new contact lenses.
@@BlaizeTheDragon That's what makes it so fresh and interesting
And the gang fight

Listening to this on loop in celebration of the remake. Can't wait to hear the remastered OST
Hello ;)
I also can't wait to see how the Switch version sounds!
The new OST is kinda dissapointing:(
but at least we can switch to the original OST any time!
@@rinqitheone1185it's pretty good but a little to bombastic for some places. The new battle music is great though
It's actually disappointing. Not the same feel.

This is one of my favorite tracks from this game.

@@Zonefire15 Saame, it's so damn memorable and iconic
😀😀😀😀😀😃😃😃😃😃😃😀😀😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Dude!!! We won!!!!
this really captures that feeling of being in a bustling new place, thats a tiiiny bit grungy but theres something holding it all together
You have a wild definition of "tiny bit" lol
But you're totally right though.
Hahaha perfect description 😂
whoever the composer was did not need to make it go so hard but goddamn,, this shit is incredible
The composers perfectly captured the feeling of entering a shitty run down port town full of crime and poverty here.
1:03 but also full of mistery and story
2005 never finished the game but still have it as a collectors item.
TTYD SWITCH AAAA
WOOOO THEY'RE REMAKING IT LET'S GOOOOO
A town surrounded by water but this track makes me feel like i'm in a desert that's also near an ocean.
I think that's called a beach
I always thought Rougeport is some sort of Hub world. To go to faraway place, you can either travel through pipes via Rougeport sewer, a blimp, a ship or train.
they're holding out on us. no snippets of the remixed Rogueport in these new trailers. None will hold a candle to the original.
I genuinely think they can’t top this in the remake. This song is too good already.
I started playing this game a few days ago and I'm already in love with it. This theme is SO good!
You're welcome for the game. 😁
@@supermario1fan bro made the game
Its about to be even better
Well you get to play it again because it's getting remade for the switch!
We gathered here today for a very special occasion... 🎉🎉🎉
This slaps hard
most nostalgic music ever
Hey guys! You know why we're all back here?
Abso-fucking-lutely!!!😃🥹
In honor of the game arriving to Switch with a beautiful new makeover!!
I prefer this over the Remake version's track IMO I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that

Whoever thinks Nintendo Is a ioke, has got to be out of their flipping mind!!
Remake 2024
I honestly like this more than the remake. The remake is good but I feel like there is a bit too much going on for a non battle theme.
Same, the instrumentation in the remake sounds too intense and a lot of the theme is lost due to it
確かに〜これくらいの方が港町らしさがあっていいね
modern mario music is hella overproduced, the more subdued type of music this game had was so much more dignified but the composers have really lost interest in it
This version of the song is a good example of “less is more”.
And just like that, simpler times
Hell yeah
This theme is perfect as is!! Didn’t need to be remade.
Facts
i bet to differ but hey, you like it just the way it is, so power to you bro.

Haven't played this game in so long. I wanna play it again but it's just so long and I don't have time like I used to. YnY
