1001 Video Game Songs: vs. Bowser

Game: Super Mario Sunshine
Composer: Koji Kondo

Super Mario Sunshine is considered a mixed bag among fans. While the game was fun, many have criticized that the FLUDD backpack was overpowered, the voice acting was very cringe worthy, and there were a lot of glitches. Corona Mountain is one of the most despised levels in mario games, because of how difficult it was to navigate. And after all that frustration, what do you get? A rather sub par fight with Bowser. Already ridiculous because of the bathtub setting, the boss fight is very easy. Plus there is a glitch were you can fall though the floor which is a constant source of frustration among players. Despite all this, the final theme is quite good actually.

At first this track takes some getting use to. It's very different compared to other themes, it's strangely a little more relaxed than the others. Fitting i guess since Bowser was sorta on vacation himself. But what really makes this track great was the use of the piano! It really gives the track a sinister vibe, despite the more lax tone. It's a weird track for sure, but it's a pretty good one never the less, it may even be considered underrated. Like I said, it takes some getting use to, but once you give it a listen, It starts to grow on you. 

One more to go! But first I'll be taking a little break, but when I return, I will share to you folks my Favorite Bowser theme!
