Yeah, the standard battle music in Mario RPG was designed for fights that last about 1 to 2 minutes. You know what the maddest thing is? The original was even shorter! 30 seconds before it loops! It's easily the least good song in the game because of that. For comparison, the remake extends it to 1 minute and 25 seconds with a few key changes and out of order reiterations. Thankfully, every other song in the game is great! Edited November 11, 2023 by Glen-i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as a PAL gamer I got it on the Wii through one of the Hanabi Festivals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh64 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 The background is so CRISP and CLEAN, I love it. Especially compared to the particularly hideous Sword and Shield skin lol. I'm not sure why though, the blocks are quite hard to get used to. I think it may be the stars on them, I had to concentrate more than usual and couldn't quite drift off into my normal Tetris meditative state. I still played until I unlocked the theme, but it's not my favourite, but also not the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went ahead and got it. This one had pretty (weird and) relaxed music however at times I found it difficult to discern between the background art and the Tetris action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen-i Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Mario Wonder theme's up now. The Tetriminos are atrocious, and Mario Wonder's music is so lame, it uses a Mario Galaxy remix for the last 10 people. Not a great one this time. Still got it though. I normally only place better when he gets too ambitious and accidentally kills himself! Well haps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Got it too. One of my favourites in all seriousness! Liked the blocks and the nice relaxed vibe of it. Actually found myself wishing the backdrop was gameplay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen-i Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) The above Grand Prix is going on now. It's a decent theme. They thankfully don't use that dodgy render of Peach with the Dreamworks-esque face. Music choice is good and fitting too. Not heard the final 10 song yet, because it's a miracle whenever I last that long.

darksnowman Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Enjoyed playing in this theme. Provides a decent backdrop and the music compliments Tetris nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 yeah, nice theme with relaxing music. It took me a few goes to get enough points to unlock it, as I'd not played Tetris 99 since the last Max cup and had to get used to it all again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Mario Wonder the last one? It's been a while since then, I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Very nice theme even if I kept expecting F-Zero 99 things to happen with the sound effects. Swapped over to it and hope to crack the top 30 sometime with it because when I was on for this event it was pros only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Another nice theme. Though I don't have much affinity for it since it's inspired by the DLC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) Yeah I really like this theme, I was a huge fan of splatoon 1 and 2 but never brought 3. This theme almost makes me feel a bit sad that I missed out on everything in the third game Edited August 16 by Helmsly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
