It’s time to hit up one of gaming’s most memorable water world themes: Jolly Roger Bay Dire, Dire Docks!

The original D,DD has a few different layers that get added depending on your situation in game, so for this remix, I made each play through ‘evolve’ with more things added each time, along with a subtle tempo boost throughout.

I’ve been wanting to get to this song for a while, but just never could get around to it, but each year for Valentine’s Day, I let my wife choose a song, and this was her choice for the year. I’ve decided to let her close out the description(s) with her own remarks:

“I didn’t really know how to fully play this game (I was 6 and it was my brother’s). Soooo I would leave Mario in Jolly Roger Bay just so that I could listen to the music while I played around in my room or read books. BUT! I did know how to throw the baby penguins off the cliffs in Cool Cool Mountain. That was fun!…. Do I need therapy? Am I okay?” -Mrs. Atma
