History AwesomeMusic / SuperMarioOdyssey

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmhFIUBNEOU The Broodals' Airship]]" os a little minimalistic, but it's awesomely threatening. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSflvJKy5lY here it is]], albeit extended, with the piano! It's unfortunate that this wasn't included in the Music List, though...

* Pretty much all the bosses have this...

*** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmhFIUBNEOU The Broodals' Airship]]" counts as well. It's a little minimalistic, but it's awesomely threatening. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSflvJKy5lY here it is]], albeit extended, with the piano! It's unfortunate that this wasn't included in the Music List, though...

** [[https://youtu.be/ZUUjVCjRYFA Knucklotec's theme.]] Few would think a fusion of rock and a pan-flute could be so creepy. But here, it's CreepyAwesome.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X66WL1ZrU7I "Torkdrift Battle"]] is an intense techno song that sounds completely out of place in a Mario game, drawing some comparisons to the music in the ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' series...but is even better because of that. Even more surprising is that it's one of Music/KojiKondo's contributions to the game.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEu38E3E7Sw Mechawiggler's boss theme]] mixes jazz, electronic sounds and rock into a badass piece of CreepyJazzMusic to fight this robotic Wiggler to.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72KGA94xqjg "Mollusque-Lanceur's theme"]] is quite akin to the boss theme of [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine Sunshine]].
** Cookatiel gets a [[StealthPun deliciously]] insane [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_TsbhOxtJQ battle theme]] that fits her [[CloudCuckoolander personality]] perfectly. It would later return in the 3DS/Switch port of ''VideoGame/CaptainToadTreasureTracker'', along with Cookatiel herself.
** [[https://youtu.be/NDJ5BdAwvuM The theme of]] the Ruined Dragon. The bombastic, ominous orchestra that feels straight from ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' helps makes this fight memorable for [[NonStandardCharacterDesign just how out of place it is]].
** Meanwhile, Bowser gets the awesome themes that you would expect from him. [[https://youtu.be/f3WboVrSkEI The first fight's theme]] is an amazing metal theme that can bring to mind Bowser's Castle from ''Mario Kart 8'', while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfRTKDiBkKM the second]] mixes orchestra and metal together for an epic atmospheric final showdown against the Koopa King.
* A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iekWtJJQlDw wonderful post-game musical treat]] is a beautiful rearrangement of "Inside the Castle Walls" from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', which plays in Peach's castle in the Mushroom Kingdom. It's guaranteed to make many a fan shed TearsOfJoy from the nostalgia.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmhFIUBNEOU The Broodals' Airship]]". It's a little minimalistic, but it's awesomely threatening. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQFGffO89Jo here it is]], albeit extended, with the piano! It's unfortunate that this wasn't included in the Music List, though...
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw2V-UVqR-g "Bowser's Castle 1"]] is very different from his previous level themes, but absolutely awe inspiring in the level its played in. Really strikes the right balance between calming and adventurous.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfIXa-b1dkI "Bowser's Castle 2"]] combines jazz and traditional Japanese instruments to create a distinctive and epic theme for Mario to wreck Bowser's home turf by, and the nods to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-xih93YIwk Mario 3's final boss battle theme]] are an awesome added touch.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLxvJZL-ZyQ "Honeylune Ridge: Caves"]] is an epic rock theme that perfectly fits heading to the final battle with Bowser through a gauntlet of obstacles.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KsdQeFmbfY "Honeylune Ridge: Wedding Hall"]], a not-so-OminousPipeOrgan piece that perfectly fits the climactic lead-up to the final battle, to the point that it makes you want to shout ''"I OBJECT!"'' as Mario and Cappy bust the door open.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLptc0pD7wE "Honeylune Ridge: Collapse"]] is an utterly frantic, anxiety-building track loaded with swathes of dissonant chords, perfectly capturing the desperation of escaping the collapsing caves on the moon to its surface.
* "Break Free (Lead the Way)" (listed in-game as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL40uNdM3ZA "Honeylune Ridge: Escape"]]), a super-upbeat HardRock track that plays over the last part of the climactic EscapeSequence. It's another vocal track sung by Kate Higgins, and unlike the jazz number of "Jump Up, Super Star!" this track sounds more like the theme song to an anime. The way it sounds and its use has drawn comparisons to Mario's gaming rival, Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog (fitting, as Creator/KateHiggins used to voice Tails), who has a track record of playing similarly-awesome rock music over climactic sequences. If capturing Bowser and using him to smash your way through the molten interior of the moon, all while the level literally crumbles beneath your feet didn't hype you up, this song sure will.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO4Odha0X1I "Run, Jump, Throw! 1"]] is ''Odyssey's'' "athletic" theme, for fast-paced and dangerous platforming challenges. It's one of the most instantly catchy tunes in the game, and feels like a spiritual successor to "Slider" from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reW1pbNmTAQ "Run, Jump, Throw! 2"]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3r30a6NGdQ 8-bit version]]) is the most "Mario" theme in the game, a catchy and playful piece perfect for the platforming challenges it accompanies.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqAz1uIXwXs "Another World"]]. A trippy theme for trippy, NintendoHard platforming and {{Brutal Bonus Level}}s.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crH6hfZmD1E "Broodals Battle"]], the Broodals' boss theme, sounds both amazing and insane. See also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGQxwkKUEKI "Madame Broode Battle"]], a heavier remix of the Broodals' battle theme. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8hljV-75bs There is also]] "[=RoboBrood Battle=]", a very menacing VariableMix that devolves into Japanese drums and chanting when the thing is down, and the main theme starts picking up Japanese instruments as you get closer to defeating it.

* If you thought ''3D World'' had awesome jazz songs, ''Odyssey'' takes it to the next level with its main theme, "Jump Up, Super Star!" (listed in-game as "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZbKFRldVN8 New Donk City Festival]]"). It's a gloriously catchy jazz remix of the original ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' arcade theme... with ''full vocals'' (which proves that Creator/KateHiggins can sing!).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k-h5J4-9UQ "NDC Band Performance"]] is the main theme of the series (aka the classic overworld theme from the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'') done in an incredibly catchy BigBand style. It's made even better in-game by the crowd (and Mario, [[IdleAnimation if you leave him alone]]) dancing to it.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHzCG1JhoTo "Shiveria: Town"]] is a theme that seamlessly blends the feeling of Christmas with the sound of traditional Scandinavian music. The result is something that wouldn't sound too out of place in ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmhFIUBNEOU "The Broodals' Airship"]]. It's a little minimalistic, but it's awesomely threatening. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQFGffO89Jo here it is]], albeit extended, with the piano! It's unfortunate that this wasn't included in the Music List, though...

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BlR82H9Cl4 Tostarena: Ruins]]", the Sand Kingdom theme, mixes spaghetti western music with desert ambiance soundtrack (leaning on Latin American though), and it gives a beautiful result. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXjCEqA2NZA Tostarena: Town]]", heard after Mario completes its story, turns ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'''s "Inside the Castle Walls" into a cheery and catchy mariachi tune.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8Mx18uR1dY "Steam Gardens"]], the Wooded Kingdom theme, is just so chilled out it can't help but bring a smile to your face every time you play the level. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9AyNwDlTJk "Steam Gardens: Sherm"]] adds techno instruments, making the music sound more jumpy and slightly chaotic.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki-5mPqjhZU "Lake Lamode 1"]], the Lake Kingdom's theme, is added to the list of the most awesome underwater level's themes of the series with a relaxing, yet beautiful music.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIbfk_xOams "Lost Kingdom (Forgotten Isle 2)"]] certainly lives up to its name, with its music creating a soothing, almost prehistoric vibe that absolutely fits the place.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v2NuWzuT70 "New Donk City: Cafe"]]. Various radios in New Donk City are heard playing this very relaxing piano version of the ''Super Mario World'' overworld theme. Any Mario fan will get instant nostalgia.
* If you thought ''3D World'' had awesome jazz songs, ''Odyssey'' takes it to the next level with its main theme, "Jump Up, Super Star!" (listed in-game as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZbKFRldVN8 "New Donk City Festival"]]). It's a gloriously catchy jazz remix of the original ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' arcade theme... with ''full vocals'' (which proves that Creator/KateHiggins can sing!).
