Music is an important aspect to any series, and this is no different when it comes to the Mario & Luigi series. Join us as we take a look at some of the more memorable tracks from the series! The Month of Mario & Luigi continues!
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
The game that started it all. Superstar Saga set a precedent for the series in terms of music and how important it can be to the overall experience. Each theme sets the tone of the situation at hand, whether it’s a fast-paced and catchy theme during a battle, or an up-beat or exciting track in one of the many locations you can visit in the game. Here are just a few that capture that magic!

Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story
Yoko Shimomura has been the music director for the entirety of the series, and her previous work on games like Super Mario RPG and the Kingdom Hearts series makes a strong influence in the musical direction each game features. This trend continues as many of Bowser’s Inside Story music pieces have gone down as some of the best in the series.
