The restoration project, which seems to be led by a Twitter user known as “The Brickster,” found the original source code for Super Mario Advance in Nintendo’s massive 2020 data leak. Thanks to the work of intrepid restorationists and the Nintendo “gigaleak” of data last year, we can now enjoy the original lossless and uncompressed tracks from Super Mario World. Because of the limitations of the SNES hardware, music was often compressed, losing much of the wonder and nuance present in the original tracks. Perhaps one of the most memorable original soundtracks (OSTs) on the system comes from the most popular launch title, Super Mario World.īut there’s always been a little something off about Super Mario World’s soundtrack.

Titles like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6 (or Final Fantasy 3 in the U.S.), and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island have some of the most creative, fanciful, epic, and intriguing earworms to grace gamers’ ears. The Super Nintendo (SNES) is known for having some of the best soundtracks in video game history.
