One of my favorite tracks from Super Mario 64, right up there with Aquatic Ambiance from Donkey Kong Country. Great choice man.
I tried to start a game music feature a little while ago. But nobody read it, and I made it a bit tricky for myself. I'm thinking perhaps I should change to a 1 piece per blog scheme, like this one. This was a good read.
Wow, this song gives me chills. Whenever I hear it from now on. I shall think of you and your struggle Jackle. :)
Best soundtrack for a Mario game ever. That's right, I said it.
Well maybe Yoshi's Island, but that only sorta counts.

Is it the same game on the DS, or is it a different game all-together? I know someone that would lend me a copy.

It's the same game with the addition of multiple characters and a few extra stars. Nothing too major, but you do start out as Yoshi and you have to save Mario to play as him. I always play as Mario whenever I can though.
This is an excellent choice Jackal. I used to hate playing Dire Dire Docks because of this song, something about it bothered me. It just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the happy songs.

I forgot to add that you're going to want to use the DPAD over the touch screen, as it's a bit easier to control it controls suprisingly well, but don't go in expecting analog precision.

Thanks for the kind words and comments everyone!
@Seigfreid- I second what Krow said. It's a great port and it adds some awesome features like the 3 extra characters. Plus it has something like 100 (maybe less) minigames that you can play, it has multiplayer modes, and it also has vastly improved graphics and textures. Damn... Now I want to buy it again, haha. I lent it to a girl and she never gave it back. Oh and while the controls may not be as precision perfect as an analog stick, they still work very well.

I love this song so much. I'll definitely be following this series.

Enjoy, it's the first game of its kind and still one of the best.

I loved this song most of all the music in SM64. I particularly like it when you go into the undersea cave and the percussion starts to kick in, and how it dies down and fades out when you head back out into the deep water. It's masterful.
I've got to say, I finally obtained a Super Mario 64 cart (had the DS version shortly after launch) and some of the level design does not hold up at all. Granted, it basically created 3-D platforming so some experiments weren't going to work, but for example I'm not a big fan of Snowman's Land (though that might have to do with it being the second ice world.) The first few worlds are really excellent, though.
And of course the music holds up very well.
