June 10, 200718 yr Kondo's work for the Mario games sounds A LOT like american ragtime music like Joplin's? I mean, whenever I hear The Entertainer I can only imagine Mario stomping goombas :P
June 10, 200718 yr Yeah I have noticed that much of Kondo's work sounds very ragtime-ish. His style really has changed though. I mean, look at his score for twilight princess. Close your eyes and you'd swear it was williams.

Close your eyes and you'd swear it was williams. Of course, it's sexy :D but I was talking about Mario, not Zelda. He completely changes depending on what he's scoring.
June 11, 200718 yr Yep, piano. I have lots of sheets for Mario, including the Air Platform Theme which is manifestly Joplin-esque.

June 14, 200718 yr I wonder if they have arranged his music for Mario for any one instrument. http://www.angelfishy.net/Mario.mus Is all of it in there? I think so. It's a transcription of that Mario medley by the blindfolded pianist.
