Soundtrack The Super Mario Bros Movie
1. Beastie Boys – No Sleep Till’ Brooklyn (1986)
The first top old-school The Super Mario Bros Movie soundtrack is one of the big hits from this super legendary Rock-Rap group. ‘No Sleep till’ Brooklyn’ is featured in one of the very early scenes of the movie.
Specifically, we hear this song in the scene where Mario and Luigi are running to make it to the apartment of their first plumbing business client.
2. Bonnie Tyler – Holding Out for a Hero (1984)
The next old-school soundtrack we hear in this Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic (Teen Titans Go! To the Movies) directed movie is Bonnie Tyler’s ‘Holding Out for a Hero’.
We hear this song in the scene where Mario is completing a challenge from Peach. If Mario can complete the challenge, then Peach will allow him to come with her to the Jungle Kingdom to ask for help from King Cranky Kong (Fred Amisen).
Of course, the two asked for help so that Mario, Peach, and the rest of their Mushroom Kingdom army could fight the movie’s main villain, Bowser (Jack Black) and his army.
3. a-ha – Take On Me (1985)
This multi-generational 80s song is featured in the scene where Mario and Peach have arrived at the Jungle Kingdom.
Specifically, the song starts to resonate when the two get access to a speeding vehicle to meet up with Cranky.
4. AC/DC – Thunderstruck (1990)
This crazy and intense song from AC/DC is undeniably one of the classic rock songs that is often used as a movie or television series soundtrack. And The Super Mario Bros Movie is the latest movie to use this song as one of its soundtracks.
Thunderstruck is shown when Mario, Peach, Toad (Keegan-Michael Key), Donkey Kong (Seth Rogen), and the rest of the movie’s army of protagonists, design their kart car. This kart car is what they later use to take on Bowser and his army.
5. Electric Light Orchestra – Mr. Blue Sky (1977)
Just like ‘Thunderstruck,’ this song by Electric Light Orchestra aka ELO is also a regular on movie soundtracks. Perhaps for the current generation, the first time you heard this song was through the movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017).
Anyway, for this movie, ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ is featured in the ending scene. Specifically, the scene that shows Mario waking up early and starting his daily activities as usual.
Okay guys, that was 5 old school songs that also appeared as the soundtrack to The Super Mario Bros Movie. Hopefully the discussion is useful.
