The arranger has appreciated the musical work of Koji
Kondo as he recalled his childhood days on the video
game.
Unfortunately, the introductions of many new versions
of Super Mario and even other kinds of game makes
‘Super Mario Bros’ currently outdated. In response
to the highly technological advancements, the arranger
hopes to let listeners or performers reminisce their
childhood memories of ‘Super Mario Bros’. The
future generations can also acknowledge the existence
of such a game.
