Playing Super Mario Galaxy 2's soundtrack and reaching this little number is always fun – we challenge anyone to listen to the section between 28 and 44 seconds in and not feel jolly inside.

With just ten tracks on our playlist, it's inevitable that some good'uns will have fallen by the wayside (and even some indisputable classics - earworms like the original World 1-1 and Jump Up, Super Star! are obviously great, but we've had our fill of those for. Today, we're looking at a specific series - the Super Mario series - and we've picked ten of our absolute favourite tunes from the Mushroom Kingdom.

As a part of Nintendo Life VGM Fest, a season of music-focused interviews and features celebrating the video game audio in all its forms, we're assembling a bunch of playlists featuring some of our very favourite tunes.
