All The Music And Sound Effects In Super Mario 3 Created Using Different Musical Instruments

This is a very fun video of the Samuraiguitarist using various instruments to perform all the music and sound effects for Super Mario 3. His music and sound effects are pretty amazing, however his ability to play the game is mediocre at best. Enjoy!

5 Great NES Themes You Forgot About

I love 8-bit music. Sometimes I feel like I enjoy it more than regular music. If I had the choice of listening to the Super Mario 3 music or the new Justin Timberlake album…I would probably choose JT, but Mario 3 wouldn’t be behind by much.
