Sweet Jesus! This is AMAAAAZING, love it too much.
Big band makes anything awesome. Adding the jazz drum to this was perhaps the best idea ever in Mario music. I honestly think a lot of their songs were complex enough to have this style.
I always figured Mario merited jazz style, perhaps a few horn bursts. Like a pause were the drummer and the bass go at it and have sequences of horns in it. Like a grand final ending common in many big band songs.
But all in all, I think it was the drums that killed it (in a good way). Specially the tsss, t-te tsss.
