Publisher: Nintendo

You know, for overworld music in an exercise game, the theme probably could have been a lot worse. It could have been really over the top high energy to get that pulse pumping. It could have bland elevator muzak to get you onto the next exercise. Nintendo could have even reused a song from an existing franchise (Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. 3) and that would have been okay. But just, okay.
What they did instead was have an entirely new soundtrack and with it, a song dedicated to the overworld map while you debate if you want to redo the previous map to figure out where that branching path leads to, or because you accidentally jumped over the line of three bad guys for the second time in-a-row. It is a catchy little melody full of xylophones or glockenspiels and is, at the moment, my favorite song from the game and it feels good to come back to this tune after taking 12 minutes to do a 5 minutes exercise.
