The 40 Greatest Uses Of The Super Mario Theme

Kōji Kondō was born in 1960 in Nagoya, Japan. When he was 17, he decided to pursue music as a full time gig. When Kondō was 23, NIntendo hired him to write music for video games. Kondō was only allowed to use four instruments for the music. This included two monophonic pulse channels, a monophonic triangle, and a noise channel. This was because of the sound chip on the original Nintendo.

Kondō has also created music for games on the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and the Wii. We have all grown up with this music and I guarantee you that anyone who has ever played the original Nintendo has the theme memorized and can hum to it.

Today, hundreds of people are attempting to recreate his music with a variety of instruments. This includes the organ, hand farting, burping, and even tesla coils. Check out the list below of some of the top uses of Kondō’s Super Mario Bros. theme.
