~ This is a Pre-Order with an estimated ship date of Q1 2027 ~

Performed by a full ensemble featuring trumpet, saxophone, flute, piano, bass, and drums, the album brings classic Nintendo themes to life through upbeat grooves, swinging horn sections, and expressive solo performances. The energy is warm and playful, capturing the feeling of musicians reacting to one another in real time.

Across the tracklist, familiar Mario melodies are reimagined through a wide range of jazz styles. Delfino Plaza swings with driving saxophone lines and energetic rhythm sections, while others like Rainbow Road slow down into soft, reflective café-style jazz that feels perfect for a rainy afternoon. Flute-led journeys like Rosalina in the Observatory feel bright and adventurous, tracks like Cosmic Cove Galaxy are mellow downtempo arrangements that gently carry the listener forward, and standout jams transform iconic themes into lively, road-trip-ready performances.
