Remix of the Star Festival theme from Super Mario Galaxy first released on Nintendo Wii in 2007

On January 1st I was thinking about what remix I should initiate the new year with. I've had my mind on the Super Mario Galaxy series now and then, listened to the OST a lot, just love the music. I never had the Nintendo Wii nor Switch, so I actually never played any of those 3D Mario games. One day I will, for sure, because they sound and look amazing.

Initially I had a hard time coming up with any natural compositions for extending this original tune, but after hours of thinking and versions of many kinds, I finally came up with something to work from (1:05) outside the original that I was happy with.

At times like this, when I never played the game, I always do a little research about the original song, when it is played and what happens when it plays. I got a really good feeling watching some gameplay from the Star Festival and the purpose of it - once every 100 years Star a comet passes by and release Star Bits. The Mushroom Kingdom celebrates this festive event by gathering in the castle garden outside Peach's castle to collect these Star Bits, then combines them into a grand star which is brought into the castle. Mario is of course invited to this rare festival.

I just love how they built up the little town in which the festival is held. It's so cosy and just screams of Toads celebration and starry vibes.

Another place I noticed the original theme was played in, was in the end associated to when Rosalina appears, which is such an amazing character. I just had to put her in the video background, got some really melancholic and nostalgic feels when she appeared in that final scene. I guess I got some kind of crush on her ;)

Oh, I actually tried to reproduce the melancholic and nostalgic feel at 1:32 to 2:24. I definitely will play her the next time I take a Mario Kart 8 race at one of my friends' house.

I also want to give some creds to the artists I borrowed the art from:
https://www.deviantart.com/rosalina-luma with the amazing model of Rosalina
https://www.deviantart.com/supabloopa with the amazing skylike background with Mario flying by

I really enjoyed creating this one, I hope you all enjoy listen to it! Or play to it or whatever you do :D

Cheers,
Neon X
