Listening notes
Square Enix Music released the Super Mario RPG Original Sound Vinyl Box in 2025 under catalog number SQEX-11158~61. The set compiles music composed by Yoko Shimomura for the original Super Mario RPG, spanning genres that include chiptune, electronic, and video game music.
The box set is organized across eight sides of vinyl, each named after a character from the game: Mario, Kinopio, Mallow, Kaeru Sennin, Geno, Peach, Koopa, and Yoshi. This structure results in a substantial tracklist of more than sixty individual pieces. Titles appear in both their original Japanese and English translations, reflecting the score's Japanese origins and its wider international audience.
The tracklist covers a broad range of the game's musical cues. Battle themes are represented across multiple sides, including "Battling Bowser," "Battling Monsters," "Battling Strongish Monsters," and separate entries for the Smithy fight across its distinct phases. Location themes account for a significant portion of the program, with pieces tied to areas such as Booster Tower, Barrel Volcano, the Sunken Ship, and Yo'ster Isle. The set also includes shorter functional cues — stings for victory, item acquisition, and scene transitions — alongside more developed pieces such as "Beware Of The Forest Mushrooms" and "Where Flowers Bloom Under Starlight." The final side closes with the ending sequence tracks, concluding with "The End!"
The inclusion of the Culex sequence across three dedicated tracks on the Peach side — covering the battle, its aftermath, and a conversation cue — reflects how completely the set documents the score rather than excerpting only its most prominent material.
