Bowser's Theme?[edit]

I've noticed this a lot whenever I listen to this song, but the melody featured in the second half of the song, at least to me, sounds like it is heavily quoting and inspired by the main motif of "Bowser's Theme" from Super Mario 64, but neither page lists it as doing such. Generally, when I feel like information is missing from a page, I add it as soon as possible, but, in this case I want to see if anyone else hears it and thinks it is an intentional quote, or if there's a general consensus of it being unintentional or a coincidence that I'm unaware of.

This used to be on the article, but was removed due to being a "coincidence", which I don't think I exactly agree with. TDM-sig-PFP.png The Dab Master 10:40, September 22, 2026 (UTC)
I don't either; this doesn't feel like a coincidence to me, especially in a Bowser's Castle theme. Especially especially when it itself got quoted for yet another Bowser's Castle theme. There are plenty examples of what feel like genuine coincidences in music throughout the franchise. This doesn't feel like that; this feels incredibly intentional to me.
