"Beware the Forest's Mushrooms" from Super Mario RPG on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1996)
Composer: Yoko Shimomura
Album: Super Mario RPG Original Sound Version
Label: NTT Publishing, POLYSTAR
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Square
It's been what, 17 years since I last played Super Mario RPG and while watching a lot of trailers with The Squire for the new remake, I thought, "Yeah, this song is awesome" although I don't 100% recall where it is specifically in the game although the song crops up before Mario and Co. enter Rose Town. Regardless of where this song plays, it's a chill foresty-tune that has elements of mystery, adventure and exploration in a way that is not often accomplished in the Super Mario franchise (or at least wasn't up until this point in the mid 1990s).
Maybe with the release of the Super Mario RPG remake and her recent work on Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, there might be some additional work offered to Yoko Shimomura because I often love the music she's composed over the years, regardless of the franchise.
Also, don't even ask me to guess what the instrumentation is supposed to be because all I here is warm feelings.
