Will you listen to the original catchy tunes or the modernized versions in Super Mario RPG? The great thing is: You have a choice of both anyway!
Beware the Forest’s Mushrooms, Let’s Go Down the Wine River, The Road Is Full of Dangers – the Super Mario RPG once provided so many earworms on the SNES that we issue a strong warning: (Don’t click on this link! )
Ha, you guys did it, didn’t you? Well, it’s your own fault! But don’t worry: in a few weeks you wouldn’t be able to hide from the fantastic songs of the Mario role-playing game anyway. Because on November 17, 2023, the remake will be released for the Switch. And Nintendo has now announced good news via X (formerly Twitter) that will make fans cheer.
Sound on! 🔊🎶 Swap between newly-arranged music and the original Super NES soundtrack in SuperMarioRPG for NintendoSwitch!
After clearing the game, listen to your favorites freely in the Sound Player. pic.twitter.com/dS6rSBoNK3

Switch between original and remake at any time
Have you got 40 seconds? If so, you can now make up your own mind about how good – or bad – the remastered versions of the iconic soundtracks sound. A tweet from Nintendo of Europe makes it possible:
God it feels SO GOOD to hear Yoko Shimomura work on a Mario RPG again, absolutely superb new arrangements! 👌

A little deeper into the matter goes user (OreoDestroyer93) and also gives praise:
The beauty is that, the old music was all digitally produced and the new music is a live orchestra but they both sound amazing.
Nostalgia takes me with the old stuff, but the arrangement of the new track is exactly what the old track would be if they used an orchestra back then.

The nice thing is that the old music is all digitally produced and the new music is live orchestra, but both sound fantastic. I’m overcome with nostalgia for the old stuff, but the arrangement of the new track is exactly what the old track would have been if they had used an orchestra back then.
