he's right. what you're saying makes no sense. Bob-omb Battlefield a reference to SM64's main theme. SM64's main theme is a reference to Donkey Kong. Bob-omb Battlefield isn't a reference to Donkey Kong. This is all intuitive and non-contradictory

Alright well here's a fucking composer's point of view for you: until someone pulls up an interview from Kondo about the process of making Super Mario 64's music, we don't actually have any idea what the process of writing "SM64's main theme" was, and in which order he wrote these pieces. It's entirely possible the first thing he wrote ended up becoming what's now Bob-omb Battlefield, and that it just had a coincidental sequence of E G A G C in it, which is not exactly a spectacularly unique arrangement of notes, nor is it even exactly the Donkey Kong motif (which starts with C).
