For many gamers, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time isn’t just a game; it’s a cherished memory from their childhood. Released on the Nintendo DS, this RPG adventure captivated players with its unique blend of humor, engaging gameplay, and a soundtrack that was both whimsical and epic. One fan has taken their nostalgia and creativity to the next level by reimagining a classic video game theme in the style of this beloved Mario Bros. title.
Inspired by a scene reminiscent of epic crossovers, this creator decided to arrange “One Winged Angel,” the iconic and dramatic theme of Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII, as if it belonged in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The result is a fascinating fusion of two distinct musical worlds. Listeners familiar with Yoko Shimomura’s work on Partners in Time will immediately recognize the sound palette, while the unmistakable melody of Nobuo Uematsu’s “One Winged Angel” brings a layer of dramatic intensity.
The creator openly expresses their deep affection for Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, calling it “THE GOAT” of their childhood gaming experiences. This passion is evident in the care and attention to detail in the remix, which seamlessly blends the frantic, action-packed feel of Partners in Time‘s battle themes, particularly reminiscent of tracks like “Princess Shroob Battle,” with the operatic and powerful essence of “One Winged Angel.”
For those intrigued by the technical aspects, the creator has generously provided links to the sources used in the remix. These include pixel art of Sephiroth in a style that fits the Mario universe, extracted choir vocals to enhance the epic feel, and links to the original tracks “Princess Shroob Battle” from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and “One-Winged Angel” from Final Fantasy VII.
This creative endeavor serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and the power of video game music to inspire and connect with fans years after its release. It’s a reminder of the impact this particular game had on its audience and the creative sparks it continues to ignite.
