Super Mario 64 - Dire, dire docks {Slowed + Rain ambience}

One of my 2 most memorable Christmas's, was waking up, going downstairs and seeing an N64 plugged up to a tv. ocarina of time and Mario 64 sat on top of their cardboard boxes and I popped this in... Man. I don't wish to be a child again but I hope I never lose the feeling of nostalgia when I go back there in my mind. Thanks mom

You'll almost never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. - Dr. Suess

I remember being 11 years old and we got a N64 in the summer. When it rolled down to winter, my favourite cousin stayed over for the entire winter and I remember when school ended for winter break. That night, our parents were in the kitchen and me, my sisters, my cousin and he brother were in the living room. My cousin and I were playing N64 while the rest of us were playing board games. I think that was one of the best Christmases of my life

"where's the player, mario?" "they grew up, luigi." "thank you so much for playing my game!"

This is the definition of bittersweet. Your sad that you can’t relive your memories But happy you had them in the first place

It's kind of strange, but for some reason this is the tempo I remember it being. When I clicked on the real version of this OST it sounds way faster than I remember. But this sounds just right.

I think there’s something special about people who find slowed + reverb songs. Whether you’re feeling sad, depressed, or nostalgic we’re all here because life has put us in a spot where were still fighting but just need a few moments to feel nostalgic or sad and let our feelings surface after hiding them for so long. If you’re reading this I hope you’re doing okay, you’re loved and I hope you can find peace and strength in whatever you’re going through ❤

I’ve never taken a more peaceful nap

I was far too young to grow up with an N64, but I grew up with Nintendo starting with the DS Lite. Something about their consoles and games are so magical. I wish I could’ve played Super Mario 64, but Dire Dire Docks is the only song in the universe that can get me to calm down when I’m panicked, experiencing sensory overload, or stressed out. It’s just so special sounding!

It's the early 2000s and you wake up on a cold, rainy morning. Nobody else in the house is awake yet. You still have your old Nintendo 64 even though you've had the GameCube for a little while now. You decide to plug in the Nintendo 64 to your living room's CRT. Your old Super Mario 64 cartridge is still in it from the last time you played it. You unjam it from the slot and blow in it a few times before pushing it back in. You slide the power button up and the Super Mario 64 logo springs onto the black screen, and without fail you hear Charles Martinet's unmistakable voice: "It's a me, Mario!"

Man I miss being a kid.. Whole world in front of you, friends, no worries, just good times

It really is amazing how much more chill this music becomes at this speed. What a brilliant result!

18:48 just when I thought it couldn’t get any better…

I can imagine an sm64 remake with like some kind of weather cycle, and the music would be affected by the type of weather

Recuerdo que jugue por primera vez mario 64 en mi Nintendo ds hace casi ya 11 o 12 años , me atrevo a decir que vaya momentos , divirtiéndome , descubriendo secretos , derrotando enemigos y jefes , me divertía tanto en esas épocas que ahora que las recuerdo me dan tristeza y nostalgia pero a la vez felicidad porque las vivi y seran irrepetibles. Pero eso es parte de crecer y ahora hay que afrontar la vida como adulto...

The nostalgia is strong with this one. I can't get enough of it. I remember getting an N64 for Christmas in 1998 along with this game. It's one of the Christmases that sticks out to me, and probably the best Christmas I ever had. I recall only getting 2 gifts that year under the tree. One smaller gift, and one bigger, well being a kid I was thinking that I would save the big one for last. So I open the small gift first, and lo and behold it's Super Mario 64! I turn around confused and tell my mom "but I don't have a Nintendo 64, I have a Sega." and she tells me to open the big one next. And there it is! My very own Nintendo 64, the one that came with an additional controller. I remember playing the game immediately and being wowed by how large the world felt, it was truly a sight to behold and marvel at. It's still one of my favorite games to this day. I am truly glad that I got to experience such an amazing game as a kid in the 90's. Thank you mom!

Even though I didn't play SM64, it just has the magical feeling of being nostalgic. Wait... rain in the water???

I remember playing this world just to hear the music

Ohh... I don't know what wizardry this is, but after a few minutes, I remembered the awe and wonder I felt as a kid when hearing the original Dire Dire Docks for the first time. It was like nothing I ever heard before in a videogame and as if everything possible now. Great memories.

if this song doesn't play at my funeral i will not rest in peace
