Well, I arranged the mario theme(s) for a whole band, while Koji Kondo wrote it, and The Blindfolded Pianist did it just for the piano. you can see it atThe Blindfolded Pianist's Webpage (http://www.theblindfoldedpianist.com)... Check it out. I need suggestions on it, since it is likely I will be playing it in band... Also, as a note, if you need to hear individual parts, I can do that too.

That sounds pretty good! My only complaint is with the very end, when Mario dies. I think it should be just a bit faster . . but that's only my opinion, heh, cause I've like the full harmony you've got going on in the whole thing.

I think it sounds good! but i agree with al that the whole piece should be a bit faster. I think the end makes a good contrast and people can see the humour in it (Mamma miiaaaaa!) but that's just my opinion.

Pretty decent, but you should've kept the drumline, or made your own. When the bassline isn't playing, the piece doesn't feel like it has any "drive" at all.

it should be a bit faster, but the end is fine i think. it's supposed to end with the game over theme right?

anyway if it helps, there's lotsa mario music here: Mushroom Kingdom (http://www.classicgaming.com/tmk/sounds.shtml)
and some sheet music here: sheet music (http://gprime.net/images/mariopiano/)
