It is also reused in Super Mario 3D Land. 3's Overworld 2 packs in sweet instruments keeping the space theme of this game while preserving the jaunty melodies of the original. It was also reused for the sequel's Shiverburn Galaxy level.

Freezeflame Galaxy features two versions of the same music: one for the ice section with the instruments symbolising the fragility of ice, and the other for the lava section packing in arrangements to put emphasis on the scorching heat.

Its bombastic, crazy instruments, rhythms and riffs are fitting for the surprisingly competent young guy in Bowser's army.

Bowser Jr's theme, which was reused for the Boomsday Machine battle in the sequel.

The Galaxy 2 version adds a broken trumpet and a flute. Makes you look like if you were a bee pollinating flowers. It was even reused in Super Mario 3D Land.

Ghostly Galaxy just screams eeriness, fitting for a spooky galaxy littered with Boos and haunted mansions.

Insanely creepy and oppressive with insanely dissonant harmonies to describe this spine-chilling galaxy.

Family, a quiet lullaby that can bring one to tears.

The violins that play in this version of the song make it even more heartbreaking.

Sacrifice, the theme that plays when the Lumas fly into the black hole and save the universe.

Luma has the feel of a lullaby from beyond the stars.

Giant robot toy army of DOOM carrying a great riff to emphasise the strength of Bowser's army to an electronic marching symphony. By the end, it's a rather grand orchestral number.

What you don't get from the soundtrack version is that, much like the map screen music in Yoshi's Island, an extra line of instrumentation is added to it for each world that's opened up. The Comet Observatory, an elegant waltz befitting of the dignified Rosalina.That is just insanely good, and really adds to the heart-pounding stress one might feel during a particular Daredevil Comet. Might as well be titled 'Bowser's March of the Koopalings'.

is a powerful and frightening score for Bowser's initial attack. An incredible remix of the incredible airship theme from Super Mario Brothers 3. What does this result in? A theme worthy of space itself and the war against Bowser. And Peaceful Stars, a more ambient, spacey variation of the same theme.The most insanely badass music in a Mario game EVER, loaded with dread and determination. It's calming enough to make you want to drift off to a long, peaceful sleep. A very peaceful, soothing track that's awesome in quite a different way. Bonus points for it being a Gusty Garden remix. Which is a good thing, as some of those missions have an insane difficulty level and would be completely intolerable otherwise. A wonderful track played during Purple Coin levels. Chase the Bunnies!, played at the Snow Cap Galaxy, packed with enough franticness to hurry you on in your side mission while still being catchy.
