This song is fun and catchy. Something about classic Mario tunes are just in a class of their own when it comes to that. Something child-like, but in a good, humbling sort of way, not one that's patronizing. Its catchiness is its biggest strength, but I think the soundfont holds it back; the best way I can put it is that it sounds like some of the instruments are cut short, which bothers me a bit. It's still just a solid overworld theme though... I mean, how could you possibly dislike this song?

Another orchestral theme, but I like the style of this one more than the bombastic ones from earlier on. The slightly compressed sound quality aside, this one reminds me a lot of Victorian fantasy, and also of things like the Harry Potter movies. It also reminds me A LOT of Greensleeves, which is good because I actually really enjoy Greensleeves. The end of each section is particularly reminiscent. I think the strong melodic focus of this piece is what really makes it stand out compared to some of the past ones. It still doesn't quite escape the genre enough for me to fall in love with it though. Something holds it back.
