THE 1UPBEAT: 40th ANNIVERSARY OF SUPER MARIO BROS. – PART 1

As the Super Mario Bros. series continues the yearlong celebration of its 40th anniversary, we take a look back at its decades-long history via the musical arrangements featured in 2025’s Mario Kart World. The game’s free-roam mode features brand new arrangements of music from every single game in the series. In part 1, we will cover from the 1985 birth of the series through the end of the century, and part 2 will feature music from the 21st century up to the present day.

Pop on your M hat and get ready for a fun history lesson led by some of the best new arrangements in recent years. Part 2 coming soon…

Enjoy!
