6. Forest Maze
Super Mario RPG
The Forest Maze theme is definitely my favorite track from the superb Super Mario RPG soundtrack. I could seriously listen to this song all day long. The upbeat trumpets and quick rhythm give it an airy and almost otherworldly feel. Then, as the beat carries on, it goes up, it goes down, and it goes all around. Left, right, left, up, and… what was the next one? Down? I need to focus.
The Forest Maze is a treacherous and confusing place, and its theme captures that perfectly. The music is frantic at some parts and calming at others. The notes come at you with a breakneck pace at points too, so you’d better keep up, or you might get lost in the forest. Man, I shouldn’t have lost track of Geno. Which way did he go again?
