Track description | Creative process
​For this one, I decided to go for a more realistic approach and decided to write this song based on how Konji Kondo would've possibly done. So that means taking some faint inspiration from the artists he liked, and doing it a bit jazzy, mysterious and creepy. The original Mario Bros soundtrack was quite simplistic in its style, so I kept it that way here.

I also noticed how the original underground theme was a bit "out of place" when compared to the other level songs. Still iconic for sure, but far too simplistic and short when compared to the Overworld and Underwater themes. Although that could also be said about the Castle theme.

Overall, maybe one could say this is an "AU" version of sorts.

Fits the theme well, cool track.

Nice take as an alternative track, it captures the undeground mood even if it lacks some of the goofy/funny aspect of the original. Good job!

Cool interpretation, more developed than the original and slightly less creepy while still maintaining an underground feel. Nice work!

Nice track, very representative of the game, can easily imagine it for the underground level, good job !

Nice one ! I agree with the other comment, this soundtrack could fit very well in an alternative or remade version of the game, well done !
