Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, Evandro de Freitas e Bruno Carvalho retornam com um papo sobre as trilhas da franquia Mario. As músicas de "Super Mario Bros." são verdadeiros ícones da cultura pop, sendo reconhecidas instantaneamente por fãs ao redor do mundo. Desde o lançamento do primeiro jogo, em 1985, a trilha sonora de Mario, composta principalmente por Koji Kondo, desempenhou um papel essencial na construção da atmosfera e da identidade dos jogos.A primeira música que vem à mente de qualquer fã de Mario é a icônica "Overworld Theme" do jogo original. A melodia alegre, cativante e energética capturou perfeitamente o espírito da aventura e se tornou um dos temas mais reconhecíveis da história dos videogames. Com seu ritmo contagiante e simplicidade charmosa, essa música é uma das mais lembradas e reinterpretações de fãs e músicos são constantes até hoje. Além de Kondo, outros compositores também contribuíram para as trilhas sonoras de Mario em títulos mais recentes, como "Super Mario Galaxy" e "Super Mario Odyssey", mantendo a consistência na qualidade e a sensação de familiaridade, ao mesmo tempo que exploraram novas sonoridades e arranjos orquestrais.A música de "Super Mario" é muito mais que uma simples trilha sonora; ela é uma parte integral da experiência de jogo. Ela nos transporta de volta aos nossos momentos de infância e sua energia continua a cativar novas gerações de jogadores. É difícil imaginar a franquia sem essas melodias que, ao longo de mais de 35 anos, se tornaram tão emblemáticas quanto o próprio encanador bigodudo.Essa é mais uma edição da nossa série PancaTOP!- ALURA | Estude na Alura, a maior escola de tecnologia on-line do Brasil! Acesse o nosso link e ganhe 15% de desconto na matrícula! https://alura.com.br/99vidas 

Matt aka Stormageddon emerges from a pipe to surprise Case and Sam with the power up of a movie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie! Can they make it through with only three continues?   Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi   Overview   In the podcast recording discussion titled "Another Pass at The Super Mario Bros Movie," hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea, joined by guest Matt (Stormageddon), delve into their cinematic experiences of the 2023 film, praising its 92-minute runtime and appeal to both children and nostalgic adult fans. They highlight standout performances, notably Jack Black as Bowser and Anya Taylor-Joy as a proactive Princess Peach, while critiquing Chris Pratt's portrayal of Mario as merely average. The hosts discuss the film's visual splendor and numerous Easter eggs, though they express disappointment over its reliance on pop music rather than classic Mario compositions. Despite some criticisms of the plot's formulaic nature and suggestions for improvement, the overall consensus is positive, deeming the film entertaining while respecting the franchise's legacy; potential sequels and upcoming projects are also touched upon as they conclude the episode.   Notes Introduction to The Super Mario Bros Movie Discussion (00:02 - 08:33) Matt (Stormageddon) returns as a guest to discuss The Super Mario Bros Movie (2023) Case Aiken introduces podcast with co-host Sam Alicea The hosts discuss their viewing experiences of the film The 92-minute runtime is highlighted as a positive factor that keeps the movie from overstaying its welcome Initial thoughts: The film works well for both children and nostalgic adult Nintendo fans Cast Performance and Character Representation (08:33 - 18:50) Jack Black as Bowser receives unanimous praise as a standout performance Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach also praised for making the character active rather than a damsel Charlie Day as Luigi received positive reviews Chris Pratt as Mario described as 'just fine' - not as bad as internet feared but not exceptional The group appreciates Charles Martinet's cameo as Mario's father and Giuseppe The opening commercial sequence featuring the 'Super Mario Super Show' song noted as a clever homage Keegan-Michael Key's performance as Toad highlighted as charming The film successfully modernizes Princess Peach as a proactive character rather than a damsel in distress Music, Visuals and Fan Service (18:50 - 30:01) Major criticism: The film relies too heavily on pop music needle drops instead of using iconic Mario game music Case and Matt express disappointment that classic Koji Kondo compositions weren't featured more prominently The DK rap inclusion was appreciated, though Grant Kirkhope wasn't properly credited initially The visual design receives high praise, described as 'one of the most gorgeous animated films' they've seen The group appreciates the many Easter eggs and references to various Mario games Notable references: Mario Kart customization, power-ups, Rainbow Road, and Luigi's Mansion sequence Film balances content for children with nostalgic references for adult fans of the games ️ Plot Structure and Pacing (30:01 - 40:01) The basic plot follows Mario Brothers from Brooklyn to the Mushroom Kingdom Main criticism: The plot feels 'paint by numbers' and moves from set piece to set piece for fan service The hosts appreciate the quick pace preventing the film from becoming boring Donkey Kong's substantial role questioned as potentially excessive for this film The 'plumbing scene' at the beginning described as feeling too 'illumination-style' and skippable The Mario Kart sequence, while visually impressive, doesn't serve the plot significantly The movie makes excellent use of character power-ups during action sequences Luma (star creature) from Mario Galaxy highlighted as a standout supporting character Suggested Improvements (40:01 - 50:06) Matt suggests removing or reducing the Kong Kingdom sequence to streamline the story The hosts discuss using more game music instead of pop songs for needle drops Fred Armisen's casting as Cranky Kong questioned; suggestions of other older actors who might have been better The group agrees the final act works well in terms of hero's journey storytelling Suggestions that Donkey Kong could have been integrated differently - as a mid-boss or obstacle rather than major character Discussion of how the film could have better incorporated game mechanics into the storytelling The movie's brief runtime (92 minutes) praised as preventing it from overstaying its welcome Final Thoughts and Future Discussion (50:07 - 01:00:38) Overall positive consensus: While not groundbreaking, the film is entertaining and respects the source material The film succeeds as a fun, colorful movie for kids while providing nostalgic entertainment for adults Comparison to other video game adaptations like Detective Pikachu and Sonic Discussion of potential sequels and the upcoming Donkey Kong movie The hosts appreciate the film's visual quality while acknowledging its formulaic approach to storytelling Matt mentions returning for future episodes to discuss the Venom movies Discussion wraps with information about where to find the hosts and their other podcasts

2025 re-run bonus notes:   This episode is the third in a trilogy of music blocks (parts 1 and 2 were our January and February reruns). Long time listeners may already know what this trilogy is all about, but for those who don't and have been following the reruns, the introduction to this episode finally explains what the trilogy is all about.   So, the fun [for me] question: of the three music blocks in the trilogy, which did you like best (and why), which did you like least (and why), and do you or do you not think I made the right decision bumping "music block A" for "music block B" in C1E41? Let me know at nerd.noise.radio@gmail.com, or by any social media outlet on which we exist. I will genuinely be curious to know what you think. Even to this day in 2025, I *STILL* don't know what to think, personally!   DISCLAIMER: the production value was worse in 2022 when the intro and outro were produced, and substantially worse in 2018 when the music block was produced. So if this is your first time hearing Nerd Noise Radio, please keep in mind that our production values have much improved in the time since.   ----------------------------- Original (2022) Show Notes -----------------------------   Today's broadcast is  C1E69 for Mishmash Monday, November 7th, 2022.

Music Block produced in GarageBand in macOS 10/19/2018.       IMPORTANT NOTE: The tools and techniques I used back in 2018 in producing the music block were NOT up to my current standards – including featuring less sophisticated fades, more imprecise volume level balancing, less developed track run-order sorting, and even my having used MP3s rather than WAVs in the source production, resulting in a lower-fidelity final product, and further limiting my ability to touch it up after the fact. As such, the production value of this episode will NOT be to par with our current "fresh episodes". But production values aside, the quality of the CONTENT itself, otherwise, I feel, is excellent, and well worth digging up to share with you.....I hope that you'll agree! :-)     You can also find all of our audio episodes on Archive.org as well as the occasional additional release only available there, such as remixes of previous releases and other content.    Our YouTube Channel, for the time being is in dormancy, but will be returning with content, hopefully, in 2022. Meanwhile, all the old stuff is still there, and can be found here:     https://www.youtube.com/user/NerdNoiseRadio    Our episodes (and occasionally, other content, including expanded show notes) can be found on our blog here:    nerdnoiseradio.blogspot.com.    Nerd Noise Radio is also available on The Retro Junkies Network at www.theretrojunkies.com, and is a member of the VGM Podcast Fans community at     https://www.facebook.com/groups/VGMPodcastFans/    Or, if you wish to connect with us directly, we have two groups of our own:     Nerd Noise Radio - Easy Mode: https://www.facebook.com/groups/276843385859797/ for sharing tracks, video game news, or just general videogame fandom.    Nerd Noise Radio - Expert Mode: https://www.facebook.com/groups/381475162016534/ for going deep into video game sound hardware, composer info, and/or music theory.    You can also follow us on Twitter at @NerdNoiseRadio.

Well, this is it, folks - our very last episode of Channel 2, taking a long….VERRRRRRY LONG last look back through the entirety of our show's history, and featuring at least one track from every single episode! This episode really is obscenely long - just shy of 5 ½ hours! But it covers so much history, and is our way of putting a bow on everything. So we hope you will stick with us for the entire thing! Presented in a hybrid-format of Ch 2-style talkie portions and Ch 1-style mini-mixtapes, and broken up by season.  ------------------------------------------------------------   Intro Segment [00:00:00 -

This episode releases on the 8yr anniversary of his passing. For the curious, here was the great big special we did for him on the occasion of what would've been his 40th birthday in July of 2019 - called “Chandlerfest”: https://nerdnoiseradio.podbean.com/e/nerd-noise-radio-reruns-presents-chandlerfest/   Here is the link to the Google Doc with the list of every Channel 2 episode in order (including the 2019 Beta).

We've been delighted to have you and to have occasionally heard from you! But while one door closes, another door remains open for a little while longer. The Channel 1 show….goes on for one more regular season and then an additional year of retrospectives! Join us again (probably early January) for C1R7 - “The Best of 2024”, and again, later in January for C1E91 - a Mishmash Monday originally planned for November of this year, but pushed back to make room for Hugues' twin episodes!

But of “plain Jane, run of the mill, ordinary episodes”....yeah, this is the very last one - which makes it really sad for St. John, and also very heavily influenced the selection of his tracks, which bias very heavily towards emotional, sentimental, heart-tugging pieces, and also bias very heavily towards tracks from games he actually beat growing up back in the day. :-(   Tracklist   Track# (season) / Track# (episode) - Track - Game - System - Composer(s) - Selected By - Timestamp 57 / 01) Summer Vacation - Tokyo Xanadu - Multiplatform - Takahiro Unisuga (Falcom Sound Team jdk) - Hugues - 02:50:04   58 / 02) Credits - Sonic 2 - Genesis - Masato Nakamura - St. John - 02:55:11   59 / 03) Staff Roll - Phantasy Star III - Genesis - Ippo Takeuchi - Hugues - 02:57:48   60 / 04) Ending - Super Castlevania IV - SNES - Masanori Adachi and/or Taro Kudo - St. John - 02:59:28   61 / 05) Ending - Another World - Amiga - Jean-François Freitas - Hugues - 03:01:51   62 / 06) Triforce Chamber - LoZ: Link to the Past - SNES - Koji Kondo - 03:03:23   63 / 07) The Credits Concerto - Donkey Kong Country - SNES - David Wise and/or Eveline Fischer - Hugues - 03:04:50   64 / 08) Ground Zero - Shinobi III - Genesis - Hirofumi Murasaki, Morihiko Akiyama, and/or Masayuki Nagao - St. John - 03:06:36   65 / 09) Good End - Streets of Rage II - Genesis - Yuzo Koshiro and/or Motohiro Kawashima - Hugues - 03:08:51   66 / 10) End Credits - Mega Man 3 - NES - Yasuaki Fujita and/or Harumi Fujita - St. John - 03:11:10   67 / 11) Farewell and a Decision - Grandia II - PS2 / Dreamcast - Noriyuki Iwadare - Hugues - 03:13:29   68 / 12) Ending - Stray - Multiplatform - Jan van der Cruyssen - St. John - 03:18:06   69 / 13) 16th Floor - Speedrun Tower - Genesis - c: JAM / a: Hugues Johnson - Hugues - 03:21:23   70 / 14) Ending - Super Mario World - SNES - Koji Kondo - St. John - 03:23:09   ---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------   Total Episode Runtime: 03:27:17

Somehow it's been four years since Rhythm Encounter's last Halloween episode, back in 2020's episode 56. Well, it's time we rectified that. A sequel to that episode and a spiritual successor to our previous episode about the works of Michiru Yamane, our panel dug into our gaming experiences to find music for the most spooky time of year. You'll find one of Pokémon's most iconic themes, and everything from old PC adventures to SNES, PS4, and more. If you need some tunes while carving pumpkins, or you're baking some Halloween treats... well, first of all, send us some.

Welcome one and all to the first episode of the MegaDads latest show - Mega Dads Overworld! And yes we occasionally call it Open World in this episode, but it's Overworld, dagnabbit! Any other questions? No? Good! This episode, Evan and Jonathan talk to Luke Davis, Assistant Director Of Admissions for DigiPen Institute, the world's first college designed entirely around the video game industry. Luke talks about his time running herd on interns for Bungie, how the academics behind video games has changed, and why you shouldn't expect to do nothing but play Halo your freshman year. That's for us state school folks… We also talk about Zenless Zone Zero, Deadlock, Grapple Dog and the upcoming Haunted Paws, so if you are allergic to dogs, maybe take your pills Open Theme: Super Mario World Overworld Theme Remix by Chill Trap End Theme: Super Mario World End Theme by Koji Kondo

Is it an earworm or an icon? The Super Mario Bros. theme is the soundtrack to many childhoods and has remained resonant today. Recently inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry, the song was not easy to write. Video game composer Koji Kondo faced musical and technical challenges in creating the song. Columnist Ben Cohen talks to New England Conservatory musicologist Andrew Schartmann about how Kondo created this lasting and genre-changing piece of music. What do you think about the show?

We talk about Koji Kondo, creator of some of the most memorable video game jingles. Plus, the amazing cast of the upcoming film Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Two top 10 lists of our favourite games from 2002 (based on UK releases)...and a slew of ridiculous anecdotes about working in Homebase and studying GCSE Drama.

Music is a quintessential part of the Zelda series. And some of Zelda's most iconic melodies go all the way back to the original game, on the Nintendo Entertainment System. These tunes were born in an age of 8 bits, and 5 lo-fi channels of audio. But those limitations forced composer Koji Kondo to make them as distilled and powerful as possible.

Hey there, and welcome to a special milestone—the 300th episode of the Retroist Podcast! Today, I'm diving into the world of one of the most iconic console games of its time—The Legend of Zelda. If you were a gamer in the '80s, you'd know exactly what I'm talking about! Before we embark on this journey through Hyrule, let me take you back to my own memories of receiving and playing The Legend of Zelda. I remember the excitement and wonder as I unwrapped the game, knowing it was something special. From the moment I popped that golden cartridge into my NES, I was hooked. The vast scope and intricate design of the game changed my gaming expectations forever. Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of this gaming masterpiece. The game was developed by Nintendo, a company that has left an indelible mark on the gaming world. The Legend of Zelda first appeared on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)—a console that holds a special place in the hearts of gamers from that era. But what made this game truly exceptional were the brilliant minds behind it. From the visionary creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, to the talented designer, Takashi Tezuka, and the composer, Koji Kondo, every aspect of The Legend of Zelda was infused with passion and creativity. As for the game itself, it was unlike anything gamers had experienced before. Players took on the role of the brave hero, Link, as he embarked on a quest to rescue Princess Zelda from the clutches of the evil Ganon. Exploring the vast world of Hyrule, solving puzzles, battling enemies, and uncovering secrets—The Legend of Zelda was an epic adventure. But it wasn't just about the gameplay; it was the rich mythology and lore that captured our imaginations. The Triforce, the Master Sword, the land of Hyrule—these became iconic elements of the gaming world. The Legend of Zelda was also a technological marvel for its time. The game featured a battery-backed save system, allowing players to continue their adventure right where they left off—an innovation that set it apart from other games. Its success led to a series of beloved sequels, each building upon the legacy of the original game. From The Adventure of Link to A Link to the Past and beyond, The Legend of Zelda franchise continued to captivate players with its deep storytelling and immersive gameplay. And we can't forget the iconic music. Koji Kondo's masterful compositions, such as the main theme and the catchy overworld tune, became instant classics and are still celebrated to this day. But despite my love for The Legend of Zelda, I found it incredibly challenging to do justice to such an influential game in my previous podcast attempts. It's hard to put into words just how much this game means to me and countless gamers around the world. I hope this latest effort brings a fresh perspective to the game and reignites your love for this gaming gem. So, let's dust off our swords and shields, don our green tunics, and journey once more into the fantastical world of Hyrule. The Legend of Zelda awaits, and I'm thrilled to share this adventure with you all.
