Liner notes[edit]

The European version of the Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack features a booklet containing liner notes written by the tracks' composers. These liner notes are available in English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, and Italian.

Track Liner notes
01. Overture "Mario's adventure around the universe begins. You will hear the melody of this track many times..."
02. The Star Festival "I wrote this with the image of an evening festival in mind. Happy times seem to pass by before you know it, don't they?"
03. Attack of the Airships "I've always wanted to have an arranged orchestral version of this theme. The kidnapping of Princess Peach gets started on a grand scale with this powerfully-performed piece."
04. Catastrophe "Bowser's attack leaves Mario in a pinch!"
05. Peach's Castle Stolen "The quick progression of semitones on strings is the most appealing part of this track. Will Mario be able to save the Princess?!"
06. Enter the Galaxy "From a magical scene into the world of Super Mario Galaxy! It took a lot of effort to synchronise the climax of the music with the moment Mario touches down on his first planet."
07. Egg Planet "The first time I saw this game, with Mario floating through space with the greatest of ease, I was incredibly impressed. This piece is an expression of that feeling."
08. Rosalina in the Observatory 1 "This is the theme of the Observatory where the Lumas live. The sound of the cello puts one in mind of a mother's gentle lullaby, wouldn't you say?"
09. The Honeyhive "This is the theme of the Honeyhive Kingdom. It features a nice guitar rhythm and down-to-earth atmosphere that really set the scene."
10. Space Junk Road "The music underscores Mario's star-catching exploits set against a beautiful galaxy backdrop. Using piano and translucent synth, I tried to create a sense of grandeur somewhat different to that achieved with an orchestra."
11. Battlerock Galaxy "This song was composed with the image of a fortress floating through space in mind. The use of a large orchestra for this piece really expresses Mario's excitement as he sneaks in alone."
12. Beach Bowl Galaxy "An ocean - a mysterious ocean floating in the clear blue sky. Listen to this track and feel the tropical breeze."
13. Rosalina in the Observatory 2 "As Mario brings Power Stars back to the Observatory, the glow of its power core gradually gets warmer. More and more orchestration is added to the music as this happens."
14. Enter Bowser Jr.! "What word best sums up Bowser Jr.? "Naughty" His expression sometimes looks vicious, but he's really just putting that on..."
15. Waltz of the Boos "I asked the musicians to play in such a way that would give the listener a chill down their spine. Don't you feel the tune of the flute and the sound of the violins lowering the temperature...?"
16. Buoy Base Galaxy "Buoy Base, the fort floating on the sea... or so it was originally. It seems that it's now full of leaks - the perfect place for a plumber to shine! At least the music still marches triumphantly onward."
17. Gusty Garden Galaxy "The space between the sky, the wind and the stars... Enjoy the huge orchestral sound of adventuring action."
18. Rosalina in the Observatory 3 "This music is on an even grander scale than Rosalina 2, and has an atmosphere that calls to mind an amusement park at night. Did you notice that the Lumas in the Observatory dance in time to this piece?"
19. King Bowser "This is the male choir full-chorus version that you don't get to hear much in-game. We used two orchestras to strive for the interactive sound only possible in video games."
20. Melty Molten Galaxy "The sound of the floor tom particularly stands out in the music for this molten area. I spent a lot of time balancing the flame sound effects with the music of the orchestra."
21. The Galaxy Reactor "Mario comes ever closer to the final battle. I tried to express both the tension before the battle as well as the climactic point of the adventure."
22. Final Battle with Bowser "This piece uses a combination of a male choir, electronic music and the orchestra to create a striking piece with impact and rhythm. Rather than expressing fear of Bowser, it's an upbeat piece that expresses Mario's determination to win."
23. Daybreak - A New Dawn "Mario wakes up to find himself... Well, I'll leave that for you to find out when you finish the game."
24. Birth "For a peaceful moment with fond memeories in your heart."
25. Super Mario Galaxy "This piece couldn't be done without an orchestra. As this music caps off Mario's adventures in space, I dedicated a great deal of time to the composition and performance of this song."
26. Purple Comet "If you heard this song in the game, you must be a very skilled player! Why not try mastering the difficult action sequences in time to the gentle pace of this music?"
27. Blue Sky Athletic "This piece is founded on the concept of being faithful to the original music while also giving it a modern arrangement. I took the liberty of arranging some time-honoured music from the Mario series."
28. Super Mario 2007 "This music needs no introduction, does it? There are already so many different arrangements of this piece, so I thought a lot about how to make one that would stand out from the rest. This version is somewhat like some cute knick-knacks stuffed in a toy box."

Super Mario 3D All-Stars description[edit]

"This soundtrack marks the first use of full orchestra in the Super Mario series. The bright, bittersweet, and inspiring sounds of this score work to capture the majesty of space exploration. These tracks were originally released in Japan as a two-disc Club Nintendo exclusive."
