Video Game SotW #007 – Super Mario RPG – “Boss”

"If you defeat me, you STILL won't beat me! Beware the flood!"

If you’ve ever played Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars on the SNES (or Virtual Console), it is more than likely that this song will ring some bells as “the one where that guy was mean and unfairly depleted my health points after illegally reappearing stronger a third time for no apparent reason.” Maybe.

Despite many songs in the SMRPG soundtrack are somewhat awesome in their own right, this piece stands out as being super catchy, memorable, and setting the mood nicely. Everyone likes complicated, suspenseful beginnings and simple but somewhat epic melodies! 😉
