Super Mario Melodies (2011)

I (somewhat recently) taught myself how to play the piano solely by playing Mario songs. There's a pretty decent easy piano book which goes through the entire canon.

Here's a link to the book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Super-Mario-Series-Piano-Easy/dp/07390...

So the power up sound is a sped-up version of the level end tune? That's cool. I knew Nintendo did a lot of tricky things to make the most out of those cartridges, but for some reason this one strikes me as particularly clever - even more than the cloud/bushes.

Do not forget Mario Piano (http://www.mariopiano.com) which has most of the same, including written score.

This is too cool.

Aside: what is that neat flash package used to play and display the notation? For example, when you hover over the "1-up melody" notation, each note plays.

Or the "play slow" feature of the "Jump" music's glissando?

Los Doggies is an awesome band. Buy their music: http://losdoggies.bandcamp.com, and come see them if you're ever in the Hudson Valley!
