MOTHER Encore - Battle Against A Dangerous Foe

Try,Try Again X Victory in The DreamWorld Arrangement - Mario & Luigi: Dream Team by The Noble Demon

SHOWTIME! Arrangement - Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story by The Noble Demon

HOLY FUCKING SHIT PLAY MARIO & LUIGI BROTHERSHIP IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, THIS GAME IS *PEAK!!!*

Am defo aware a LOT of the motif names will be extremely confusing. They're the names I gave the tracks for my gamerip release of Brothership's OST, which you can find the download links for over on my Bluesky and (now mostly inactive) Twitter! And until (or if) Nintendo ever gives these tracks official names, *these* will be the track names I work with for the sake of consistency on my part.

A huge thanks goes to Cosmic (https://https://twitter.com/cosmic_oof) for their help with this track! They provided valuable feedback for the track itself during the final mixing stages, and also helped come up with the name.

I genuinely really enjoy Mario & Luigi Brothership, honestly the best overall game in the series hands down imo! ...One missed opportunity, however, was in the music department. Among other areas that could have been a wee bit better, Zokket's battle later in the game doesn't have a unique theme, instead using the normal "major boss" theme (the track I call "Beatdown of Brotherly Proportions.") I actually wound up getting inspired enough to try to fix this issue myself, pulling a Bowser's Inside Story DX on this son of a bitch. (Getting this laid out structure-wise was admittedly a bit of a pain in the ass btw, figuring out the proper tempo and key for some of these motifs was pretty damn hard ngl lol.)
Knew from the moment I started making this track that "Fortress Zokket" was going to be my basis point of choice. Its jazzy nature was not only fun to fuck around with, but also puts it in line with the stylings of the actual battle themes in Brothership proper. Really glad I got an excuse to use my jazzy libraries again, including my recent *actually legal* acquistions of the ProjectSAM Swing libraries. And for once, my percussion track doesn't suck total ass! :D
Included "Beatdown of Brotherly Proportions" here to not only reference the major boss theme, but also to compliment the jazzy styling with the growling brass tidbit I borrowed specifically.
The more somber section with "A Tragic Past" and "Chase to the End!" was a bit of a happy accident tone-wise, but it wound up working out wonderfully, especially considering I was treating this as the "final" boss theme. By the point in the story you fight Zokket, the twist with him and Cozette has already been revealed to the player, so someone going into the battle fresh would expect this to be the ultimate conclusion to said twist. And of course, "The Soli-Tree" and "The End of the World" are quoted here to represent Reclusa, the *true* main villain of the story that has actually been the one pulling the strings.
Genuinely incredibly happy with how this turned out as a whole, and I hope y'all enjoy! :3
(P.S. The reason I also credit Takayasu Seo down below is cause, after doing some research to figure out what tf a music preparator is, I found out it's highly likely she could have made critical changes to the motifs and/or arrangements in Brothership proper, to the point she deserved credit alondgside Hideki Sakamoto for the OST.)
