Super Mario Galaxy 2 Ultimate Song Collection [FLAC]

here’s my homemade Super Mario Galaxy 2 soundtrack. It’s more complete than any other Super Mario Galaxy 2 rip. It has all ripped streamed tracks, but also almost all fanfares and all yoshi remixes and OST tracks.
Sadly the Luma themes are considered sound effects according the game, so I could only mute them or play with all SFX still on. If someone knows which .aw file on the disc contains the soundbank of the luma songs pls tell me which one it is, so i can rerecord them without SFX.

NEW version:
mediafire map with mp3 and flac versions (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=bne2gyzkpyoa3)

It consists of 200 tracks, 1.7 gigs of lossless audio or 544mb of mp3, total play length 5:36:32. No missing tracks, except maybe a missed unused yoshi version track where I could only find one(all other songs don’t play differently when you force the yoshi remix).

– File Select intro is without the drum
– Hightall Falls Galaxy Yoshi and Dash Pepper Yoshi mix have just the intro of the normal version
– Squizzard’s Battle theme Fire Mario Version’s intro is unrippable, if forced it plays the normal fire mario song.
– Title (Streamed) is almost the same as the title played. It’s found on the game disc, but the game uses the sequenced version.
– Rainbow Galaxy has a fake loop and the intro is always the normal version playing, never the standing still version.
– Mighty Megahammer – Phase 2 never plays in the game if you’re on yoshi, so there’s no yoshi mix there.
– track 188-193 are found on the game disc but never used.
– track 194 only plays in the game with cheat codes on by moon jumping to the galaxy with yoshi in it on star 2 of tall trunk galaxy or by using the cheat code to always have yoshi’s remix on in the PAL version 029f51b0 00013f80
– track 195 was used in the game trailers.

The best rip from this forum :billymays:

slippyToad, you, sir, are a mother-f(expletive deleted)ing GOD.

I just noticed that the Fluzzard Flight song (track 87) is corrupt. Could you upload that track again, please?

Been waiting for this. Thank you a lot.

Thanks. 🙂

slippyToad, you, sir, are a mother-f(expletive deleted)ing GOD.

I just noticed that the Fluzzard Flight song (track 87) is corrupt. Could you upload that track again, please?from the mp3 or the flac download? If it’s corrupt something went wrong during upload on the mediafire page ot when you downloaded the file, because the file is not corrupt on my pc. I could upload it separately so you don’t need to download all packages again.

From the mp3 version.

Yeah, why don’t you just upload the song itself? That’s the only one I don’t have because it got corrupted.

track 87 is also corrupt for me.it’s definetely mediafire.could you reupload that one song plz? and thanks for this still awoseme upload.

track 87 reuploaded (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lyrmwikzgjj)

I’ve got to hand it to you, this is one hell of a rip. I browsed the web for hours, trying to figure out wtf to do with those .ast and .aw files. Looks like SOMEONE figured it out! Well done, I highly appreciate your work!

I’d also appreciate a little explanation of what you DID with those .aw files 😀

HOLY S***! WOW, thanks a lot, man!

OOOOMy…

This is a AWESOME collection!!
thnx for the effort!
you are a KING amongst rippers 😛

flac track 114 seems to be corrupt for me.
otherwise thanks so much for this!

This is quite good. Thanks.

ok, i’ll upload the corrupted flac when i get back from work.

i didn’t figure out how to play the ast files, they were already playable for years with vgmstream. Aw files only contain raw audio data and no headers so zero out the file will get rid of all sound effects inside the file. If you do that for all sound fx you only have the songs playing. Sadly the luma songs are in the sfx lib.

Wow, this is incredibly good. I think it is more complete than the official one. BTW, I remember there is a non-mix of "003 – File Select"?

Holy shit yes. THANK YOU!
Downloading right away!

Excellent rip… thank 😀

Wow, this is incredibly good. I think it is more complete than the official one. BTW, I remember there is a non-mix of "003 – File Select"?The non-mix of File Select is the Title screen song. The first Super Mario Galaxy had a different song playing on File Select and Title Screen. Strangely it seems the title screen music is sequenced in-game and the streamed title.ast found on the game disc is unused, even though practically the same.

Flac track 114 is reuploaded if more people noticed it was corrupt

EXCELLENT! I think you forgot the Boss Blitz Galaxy Theme though (which plays before you hit the first Boss). Also, is it possible to get the Beat Block Galaxy music with the TICK-TICK-TICK sound in it?

There is 1 track that I know is missing and that is the Speed Comet with the Yoshi Drums. I heard it in Bowser’s Final Stage on the 2nd Star

to be honest i haven’t completed the game myself. I’m stuck at 97 stars. Argh about Beat Box Galaxy prank comet. And no, i can’t get the ticking sounds the wii mote makes on beat box galaxy.

So checking the missing list:
Race Failure Fanfare
Unlock Green Stars Fanfare
Speed Comet (Yoshi)
Boss Blitz Galaxy Interlude

Also, the Gusty Garden (Perfect Run) with Yoshi mix would be greatly appreciated. Please take your time though, you can only get there with 241 stars 😛

While the qualities are currently kinda pointless [sorry] seeing the versions you’re ripping aren’t even 192 quality on the Wii disc, the effort in sourcing it all is still very impressive.

There’s a problem with me… Every time i try to extract the music, the
87 one (that i know is corrupted) blocks my extraction. I can only extract
up to 86. If i try to extract the other music after the 87, it still block.
And, if I try to extract the music from the other two rar, the 100 one
(MP3part2) and the 152 one (MP3part3) blocks the extraction too.
What I have to do to extract this damn music?
(I use Izarc)

YES!! Thank you for this soundtrack! You’re the best person ever!

I’m having the same problem. I use RAR Expander and/or Zipeg (I run on a Mac). Any way to fix this?

Use "The Unarchiver". It’s a freeware, all purpose expander for Mac. Doesn’t halt at 87, so working great over here 😀

Completely impressive rip. Sadly, there’s still a soundtrack missing, other than the 4 called:

-Starshine Beach Galaxy – Dash Yoshi

You guys should really take the time to go back and look at other posts in the thread before saying something is wrong.

The problem is that i can’t extract the music after the 87 one.
I can extract and listen the music up to 86, but if I try to extract
after the 87 one, it blocks the extraction.

Why not try Winace or 7-zip? These softwares won’t stop at a corrupted file, at least to me.

galaxie is correct. 7-zip is much better. That is what I used and didn’t have any issues with tracks after 87.

Thanks! Great Work!

While the qualities are currently kinda pointless [sorry] seeing the versions you’re ripping aren’t even 192 quality on the Wii disc, the effort in sourcing it all is still very impressive.

Actually, the quality on the disc is superior to 192kbit quality.
(Unless you’d like to argue that PCM @ 32kHz is inferior to LAME 192k @ 32kHz…)

Awesome! Thank you very much. This is a very comprehensive rip; It’s probably just as good as– if not better than– the official release.

Actually, the quality on the disc is superior to 192kbit quality.
(Unless you’d like to argue that PCM @ 32kHz is inferior to LAME 192k @ 32kHz…)

Indeed. Littlesmegger seems to be under the impression that the music on the Wii disc is compressed; it isn’t. It’s uncompressed PCM. Granted, the sample rate isn’t 44.1khz but most humans can’t discern frequencies above 16khz (the maximum frequency represented in a 32khz sample) anyway. 16 bit PCM at 32khz has a real-world bitrate of 1024kbps, compared to 1411kbps for full 44.1khz CD audio.

It is *definitely* worth encoding as FLAC. Thanks so much to the poster for his efforts. 🙂

WinRar should do the trick. 😉

don’t worry,i’ll probably upload the entire set again after all changes(next to uploading the missing and corrupt ones).

status of missing tracks:

Race Failure Fanfare: recorded, needs to be uploaded
Unlock Green Stars Fanfare: i’m not there yet, i’m on 111 stars now
Speed Comet (Yoshi): i need check if the gecko code for infinite time is there or I don’t think i can get the entire song recorded in one attempt.
Boss Blitz Galaxy Interlude: recorded, needs to be uploaded
Grandmaster Galaxy – Gusty Garden Galaxy: i’m not there by far

Starshine Beach Galaxy – Dash Yoshi: there’s no dash pepper yoshi remix on star 1+2. A different song is played on the purple coin challenge.

Starshine Beach Galaxy – Dash Yoshi: there’s no dash pepper yoshi remix on star 1+2. A different song is played on the purple coin challenge.

Edit: Ignore this post.

That’s strange… since there ARE Dash Peppers in Starshine Beach Galaxy…

That’s strange… since there ARE Dash Peppers in Starshine Beach Galaxy…

I said the same thing in my previous post before I edited it, but I *think* the Purple Coins song wasn’t used in that level with the Purple Coins. I think the Star 1 Pepper Dash song is the same as the song used in Purple Coins… I’m not sure though. I can check tonight to be sure.

It seems the Starship Mario II (Yoshi) is the same as Starship Mario I (Yoshi). Could please also record the second one? Thank you so much for all your hard work. It is GREATLY appreciated!

Hightail Falls Galaxy is the only track that has a dash pepper yoshi remix. It’s also used during the purple coin challenge in Starshine Beach.

anyway, I reuploaded and updated the links with all changes. It’s now 193 tracks. I’m still busy uploading the mp3 versions again, but FLAC is redone.

Changelist:
changes:
Fire Mario: used the gecko code for infinite fire mario and recorded it with loops
Rainbow Mario: same as above
Starship Mario #2 (Yoshi): made a mistake and it was a recording of Starship Mario #1 (Yoshi)

added:
Race Failure Fanfare
Unlock Green Stars Fanfare
Speed Comet (Yoshi)
Double Time Comet (Yoshi)
Boss Blitz Galaxy Interlude
Throwback Galaxy Musical Notes

Still missing:
Grandmaster Galaxy – Gusty Garden Galaxy (Yoshi)

ok, i saw i made a mistake with uploading flac while mp3 was still being uploaded. MP3 is done, but the first 4 FLAC archives are being resent again. I saw one person who downloaded the new version. He should check if all files are present.

Is there any way someone could upload just #100 and 101? I downloaded the first part one day when they were still "parts" and then I downloaded the second after you reuploaded them, so they were no longer counted as parts and I am missing those two tracks because of that.

If you’re ripping these off playing the game itself, how are you getting the sfx out? Wouldn’t it just be easier (and likely better quality) to just dig through the iso?

I could be wrong.

I could be wrong.actually the streamed songs are directly from the iso in this rip(some of the streams were 4-track and had to be reduced to stereo or split in two separate stereo files), but many tracks are sequenced or have an alternate yoshi mix with an extra added drum that can’t be easily ripped. So far there was no release out that had these tracks.

The only problem I’m having is the download speed.

It was over 200 kbytes/second, and it’s kind of jumping around between under 100 and over 200. My download speed should be over 1 MB/second. It’s got 12 minutes left, and that’s just Part 1, and this should have been downloaded in about 3 minutes per part. I’ll just have to wait.

Ah, gotcha. Even the sequenced songs sound GREAT, however, so it’s clear you put a lot of work into this!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t there a dash pepper version of Starshine Beach and Bowser’s Galaxy Generator too? Also, do you have the Bulb Berry ticking?

When you have a Dash Pepper in Starshine Beach Galaxy and Bowser’s Galaxy Generator, the songs don’t change… so nothing new to rip for those.

Oh. I beat the game already, so I’d know the dasher was in those 2 galaxies. Just didn’t quite remember if they had they’re own "tune accompanying them. Thanks!

Would anyone know if the star fanfares (get star/grand star, etc.) are in .aw files?

Would anyone know if the star fanfares (get star/grand star, etc.) are in .aw files?yes, they are. But you can’t get the individual sounds of the aw file because aw contains only raw data in Gamecube ADPCM where you need some coefficients and the offset in the file where an individual sound starts. It’s somewhere in SMR.szs, but nobody reverse engineered that file. The only thing you can do is mute the entire aw file by changing all bytes in 0.
I don’t know which file specific contains the get star fanfare since i only found out all sequenced instrument sounds were in the mahit*.aw files.

The same method was used for Primeblue’s legend of zelda twilight princess and the wind waker rip. It could also be used for Donkey Kong Jungle Beat which I intend to make a SFX-free recording. I could do the same for Luigi’s Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine if Gecko OS or Riivolution support gamecube games or if i can play burned gamecube games on my wii.

My AC:CF and Wii Play rip method works differently. Most sounds are not played directly, but by a small 1-note midi. By changing the DATA chunk inside a RSEQ chunk inside the BRSAR file into End of track messages (0xFF) you can mute most sound effects. By looking at the LABL chunk i can figure out what the contents of the RSEQ chunk are to decide which one to mute.

So, basically speaking, if you can rip sequenced songs from Super Mario Galaxy 2 without sound effects, would you be able to sequence some of the very very few songs from Super Mario Galaxy that are not on the soundtrack or on YouTube (without sound effects)? The Bowser Jr’s theme (the 30 seconds one) in this rip, is also in Super Mario Galaxy, when you first meet him before fighting Megaleg, so that’s OK, however, there’s the Megaleg theme that plays BEFORE you actually go on him.

IS it possible to rip that?

Also, how easy would ripping Super Mario Sunshine be in that similar way? And interesting thing would be to know if it’s possible to rip the music from cutscenes without the talking.

Still missing:
Grandmaster Galaxy – Gusty Garden Galaxy (Yoshi)

Can’t wait for this! My favorite song with the Yoshi Drums.

Thanks for all your hard work!

slippytoad, thank you so much for ripping this. some of the music presented here (and in the game) are very soothing and relaxing – it’s like breathing. very nice. again, many kudos.

Thanks for sharing!

BTW:
If anyone is interessted in this:

This is a reverbrating SFX, you can hear this in all zoomed world screens.
I have just filtered the clear SFX from the audio track with my audio programm.
I can make all world maps if you like it.

Cheers.

Cheers. ehm, what’s the point? since the zoomed world screen version are also present. Those are directly ripped from the game iso. Unless some serious DSP is used on that stream ingame I don’t see there’s a difference with the streamrip.

And yes I could do the same with Super Mario Galaxy 1. I thought that SMG1 had less sequenced songs(that Bowser Jr.’s battle theme was playing instead of the 30 seconds sequenced one used in SMG2), but I could check it out.

Hey SlippyToad (or anyone else who has advanced ripping knowledge),

Quick question for you…

In the first Super Mario Galaxy, when you face "Mega Leg", there are three versions of this song available. Most people who have ripped the songs from the game have only been able to get two version of the song. Is there a possibility you have the ability to extract the first version of this song from first SMG disc?

http://www.sendspace.com/file/5cwonn

Here is a sample of what I’m referring to. The song is from 0:13 to 1:10. I’ve been looking for a looped version of this variation ever since the soundtrack was released, but it doesn’t seem like anyone has been able to extract this version of it. From what I’ve heard, this particular variation is not available in the ISO…

thank you for your work!

Thanks! Great to see that you’re actually good for something (besides getting shot down all the time).

This certaintly makes up for all that "Fox, get this guy off me!".

What’s your reasoning to upsampling? The sampling data used in the sequences are nowhere near that quality, so why bloat it up?

I extract the all files "world map zoomed" in a wav format.
So you don�t lose audio quality, i have filtert this file to get
only these background reverberating sfx. It is really relaxing,
i like it to hear just this sfx, so i did this. If you want it, i can
upload it here.

This is quite awesome! Although to be honest, I hear no difference between the FLAC and MP3 versions. Maybe it’s just me? Not sure. But I’ve been waiting for someone to upload a full version of songs 041 as well as 183 for ages just for the hilarious 4-second intro on 183.

Thanks a bundle!

I’ve been waiting for a rip as complete as this one since the game launched. Thanks so much for doing this!

Thank you so much for this! This is definitely the most comprehensive rip I’ve seen. I personally don’t have much use for the FLAC versions, but the fact you’ve turned it into MP3 files as well is a godsend.

So yeah, thanks again, I adore the music from this game, and you as well, good sir, for bringing the music to me!

A couple of things occurred to me while going through this soundtrack:

1: Your attention to detail is extraordinary and this is without doubt one of the most comprehensive soundtracks I’ve ever seen.
2: The tracks you’ve got tagged as ‘Poltergeist’ (the boss battle ones); the boss’s name is actually ‘Bouldergeist’, so you might want to change that.
3: I have a pretty damn good copy of the music from the trailer, certainly a lot better than the one in this soundtrack, that I believe I took from the American Nintendo website for the game. I’ll put it on Mediafire and you may wish to replace the version currently being used in the soundtrack.

http://www.mediafire.com/?zfhez3y1wzk — there you go. I know the size is smaller, but it’s a proper 128kbps version which the one in the soundtrack at the minute certainly isn’t.

Other than those two points, top-notch work, and I hope the info I provided is helpful to you!

Oh, one final note: just out of curiosity, what’s the difference between the ‘Title’ track and the ‘Title (Streamed)’ track?

1. thx
2. i’ll change that when i move over to my new appartment
3. i got the track not from the nintendo website, but by checking out other rips for tagging my own and for completeness sake. Now that i think about it, i converted the mp3 to flac(because to make such a large soundtrack, you need some automation steps) and the mp3 versions are converted flac tracks, so the mp3 is without any doubt worse. I see if the one you posted is better quality then the one I used.
as for your final note: the title screen is sequenced in the game since muting all *.ast files on the discs still let the title screen play even though there’ s a title screen *.ast file on the disc. The streamed version is the rip from the game disc and has some subtle differences(especially the note decay is different). I think the developers missed it when switching the sequenced songs to the Mario Orchestra versions.

And I really wish someone would make a gecko code to always start with yoshi. Some of the yoshi remixes don’t start from the start of the song. It was only possible to get the start of the yoshi remix if there was a warp pad nearby(I just found out beat block galaxy has one). And maybe some of the galaxies without Yoshi have a Yoshi remix too.

I just wanted to see if I could upload the tracks on a youtube channel, but it seems someone already posted them without giving credits and viewers thinking he made them. Ironically it’s one the soundtracks I checked out when tagging.

BTW, does anybody know if there’s a program with batch processing that allows me to combine a still image with a flac file into an avi file for all 192 tracks? Windows movie maker does not support flac, no batch processing and resamples all sounds to 44.1khz very badly.

this is serious overkill but thank you none the less for your grand effort and kind share. i hope its a pleasant listen as the first mario galaxy.

That’s my point – the files on the disc aren’t of that level of quality, so you’ve upsampled somewhere along the line, which does degrade the quality. (it’s no longer a 1:1 copy)

Excellent quality and meticulous ripping of every known track in the game. Thank you for the extreme effort.

Thank you very much for ripping these… I can’t say how awesome your rip is…. I’m shocked on it… I don’t think the official OST will have that many tracks 😀 Great job man…. 😀 Thankz once again.

You, my fried, are awesome. Thank you for ripping this awesome game! 🙂

And I really wish someone would make a gecko code to always start with yoshi.

Which Region is your game?

That’s my point – the files on the disc aren’t of that level of quality, so you’ve upsampled somewhere along the line, which does degrade the quality. (it’s no longer a 1:1 copy)

What is the original sampling rate of the files? Upsampling is lossless as long as the conversion ratio is a natural number, so e.g. upsampling from 48kHz to 96Khz is in fact a lossless process. Increasing the bitrate is another since it depends on how it was done (just ‘cast’ the sample values from 16bit to 24bit or rescaling them to the new range).

So SlippyToad, is the Gusty Garden with Yoshi still being worked on? Do you mind if I ask how many stars you currently have?

Slippy, I found an interesting gecko code that I’ve confirmed to work for the yoshi remixes, the Multi Teleporter. A second may still be sacrificed off the beginning of the song, but it’s still better than the few seconds wasted in the other songs.

Simply put, progress in the level to where yoshi’s egg resides, jump above the egg, and save your coordinates while in downward motion. Restart the level, and teleport back. This also works for the dash pepper remix. Just save 2 coordinates, one by yoshi and one by the pepper.

Cheers!

Increasing the bitrate is another since it depends on how it was done (just ‘cast’ the sample values from 16bit to 24bit or rescaling them to the new range).

32kHz for the streams, the sampling rate for the sequenced audio would be anywhere from 20.05kHz-48kHz considering past standards of Nintendo’s midi variants.

You are right that resampling to a natural number ie a factor of 2x, 3x etc. should not produce loss, but try finding software that will actually do it. Upscaling in common practice will pretty much always be lossy unless you’re explicitly resampling it up and down just to test it.

Think of all the interpolation algorithms for resampling, and then think of all of the subversions to each algorithm, and their forks… it’s not going to be 1:1, even audibly with any kind of interpolation like rectangular, triangular, guassian, etc: you end up with altered highs and lows.

As far as bit/sample upsampling, you are right, it is exact, but only because of there’s only one interpolation method for it.

Even if the sound was not degraded from this ?kHz/4-16bit source (which it most likely is going to be), it’s still unnecessarily upsampled to 96kHz/24bit, which isn’t really all that smart if you’re going to try distributing the files over the internet.

AFAIK the SRC (secret rabbid code) implementation handles such cases. I might be wrong though.

rectangular? triangular? Never heard of these interpolation techniques, at least not when audio is involved.
The quick&dirty method is still linear interpolation. If you’re doing it seriously then using a sinc-based method is probably standard.

I consider SRC the reference implementation for resampling done right:
http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/

The implementation is based on the techniques described in:
https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/resample/

From the SRC API docs:

providing a worst case Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 97 decibels (dB) at a bandwidth of 97%
Try to beat this without increasing the processing time by a whole magnitude.

And concerning gaussian interpolation. I don’t remember seeing this in any serious resampler, apart from emulation cores (and there it’s probably only included because the hardware does it like that). Gaussian lowpass filtering is another topic.

As far as bit/sample upsampling
I don’t think you can use the term ‘resampling’ here, since changing the bitdepth works on a per-sample base and doesn’t change the amount of samples.

EDIT: Well, seems like some resources use the term nonetheless.

, you are right, it is exact, but only because of there’s only one interpolation method for it.
No, I never said that.

If you just cast the samples, then yes – it would be lossless. Let’s take unsigned 16bit samples when range from 0 to 2^16 – 1 (65535). For unsigned 24bit samples the range goes up to 16777215 (2^24 – 1).

You see why casting is not an optimal solution, right?
Assuming the DAC maps the digital range to the (usual?) +/-2V (analogue) range, casting would result in a very quiet signal and even worse:
65535 (which was previously, in 16bit range, mapped to +2V) would get mapped to -1.984376V (if my math is right).

Now this is severely wrong and simply can’t work. You therefore have to rescale the sample values to the new range and that’s where (probably lossy) math is involved. Linear scaling with a factor of 256
should work, but I’m not sure if linear scaling is the right way to go here. Furthermore this scaling is unbalanced by a small amount:
65535 scales to 16776960 (which is still 255 units away from the peak value of 16776960)

*sigh*

Which Region is your game?PAL game
i have just received my own usb gecko device, so let’s see if i can make the code myself. I wanted to make a marquee performance modifier too to get frillard for ac cf

Also i’m on 180 stars, but i’m in the middle of moving to a new appartment, so i can’t record audio or play games now.

AFAIK the SRC (secret rabbid code) implementation handles such cases. I might be wrong though.
It may be, but let’s hope that everything implements resampling in the same manner as that program then.

rectangular? triangular? Never heard of these interpolation techniques, at least not when audio is involved.
The quick&dirty method is still linear interpolation. If you’re doing it seriously then using a sinc-based method is probably standard.
I stand corrected – they are dithering algorithms for bits/sample. Odd that you’ve never heard of them in relation to audio though. Sinc-based interpolation implementation still varies though, so it will still commonly introduce loss unless you’re just testing it with 1 interpolation method, and even then some programs don’t handle it properly like SRC.

*sigh*

By casting I had figured you meant amplifying by a factor of 256, casting 1 as 256, 2 as 512, etc. Sorry if that wasn’t clear, as I wouldn’t have figured you’d suggest a non scaled conversion, given how obviously flawed it would end up. Regarding 65535 -> 16776960; yes that would change it, but when reduced to the bit depth of the original, it’ll be the same as it was initially.

I appears that people who have spent points on the Club Nintendo album are speaking of it being sent out on the 14th. So by the time they have it, and for it to get shipped to the UK within 3 working days, I’ll have it for about the 18th/19th to upload if needed.

i just made myself the remix gecko code change. It works for all tracks except hightails galaxy. No unused yoshi remixes were found though.

You might also be able to use the gecko code to try to get the fire mario version of squizzard with the intro. I’m guessing it would be more complicated though because the fire flowers move around.

sadly i have no internet connection in my new appartment to make the changes permanent yet.

– I rerecorded all yoshi remixes that were still playing the intro without the yoshi remix and even found an unused one (Tall Tree Trunk Galaxy – Star 2)
– If I try to use the infinite fire mario time one the music does not switch to Squizzard’s song if you enter his battle, so i can’t get the intro if there’s an intro at all
– Only alternate version I don’t have the intro is the dash pepper yoshi variant of Hightall Falls Galaxy and yoshi variant of beat block galaxy, because the yoshi remix song gecko code does not work on these songs.
– I have 220 stars now, so the missing song will be there soon 🙂 There are gecko codes to unlock all 242 stars, but that’s no fun and it does no unlock grandmaster galaxy(there’s no pal version code made yet that unlocks grandmaster galaxy on the screen)

the upload is being updated now with the 195 tracks version including gusty garden galaxy’s yoshi remix. It’s finally 100% complete

you are missing track 190 from you’re individual songs folder which i think is "Inside the Drain Pipe".

you are missing track 190 from you’re individual songs folder which i think is "Inside the Drain Pipe".
it failed when uploading. sadly i have a very slow internet connection at the moment and i keep failing uploading the file. It’s no big deal, since it’s still in the rar file and it’s an unused SMG1 file anyway.

Can’t you just upload the single new track for now?

When you do get it please upload it, i’d love to hear what those CDs have to offer, i can’t wait!

i tried uploading them today at my old appartment when i had to wait to return my key. Sadly I had to deliver the key earlier than expected and i only managed to upload the mp3 where song 190 was the only song that failed uploading.
I tried with my mobile phone internet, but it’s so freaking slow that it keeps failing uploading.

I downloaded the entire new flac version (the rars) and I only got 194 tracks wich includes one wierd track that say 18-03b or something like that which seems to be a duplicate of starship mario 2 with yoshi.

edit: It seems that the mp3 rars have not been updated either. They are exactly the same as the flacs just in mp3.

Haha. Guess I should have read the comments first before I wasted time redownloading the whole thing today!

Anyway, I apologize for not replying to your comments earlier! You’re very cunning to come up with your own gecko code; I’m shocked! Well done!

I can’t download any of it because it requires a paid subscription.

What requires a paid subscription?

I’m guessing you’re trying to download all files in the folder all at once. That requires a paid subscription. If you click on the the MP3 or FLAC subfolders you can download the the parts separately for free.

I just downloaded this too, so thanks. There’s no way the official soundtrack is going to offer all of this, so this work is much appreciated.

Actually, I have the official soundtrack (downloaded it from EMUParadise, bless them) and I noticed that the OST has a track that this ultimate collection doesn’t have: "Tips TV", the tune that plays while you’re watching those hint monitor videos.

I just noticed that.

WHAT?!? I missed a song!. THX for telling me where it’s used since the title ‘Tips TV’ is vague. I never checked out those monitor videos so it’s easy to oversee that song.

BTW, i’m busy doing the same with Super Mario Galaxy 1. Sadly the FMV have the Sound effects in it and I only have mp3 of the original soundtrack. It’s 161 tracks so far.

I’m pretty sure it plays whenever you check the monitors and they show you a tutorial video. I looked once just to see what happened, and I remember music playing… I assume it happens with all videos…

Nice. I know there’s another rip out there, but it has, if I remember correctly, 84 songs… missing quite a bit, I’d say…

Looking forward to the completed Galaxy 2 soundtrack, as well as the full Galaxy 1 soundtrack!

Thanks for the Gusty Garden Galaxy w/ Yoshi song. Much appreciated. Looking forward to your work with the first Super Mario Galaxy game.

While a lot of the rip is perfect, I’ve noticed the trailer music is a lot lower in quality. Which seeing the official website has it playing in a much higher quality than that, I’d suggest ripping from there.

Although it appears it’s on the soundtrack anyway [unlike the first game] so the website will seem low in quality soon!

Hey slippytoad, can you update the rar files?

Still waiting on a lossless rip of the official soundtrack, but even still there’s a lot of tracks here that aren’t on the OST.

Hey slippytoad, can you update the rar files?
I will update them the moment i get a steady internet in my new appartment. By then my SMG rip will be there too.

I’m still figuring out a few strange things with SMG 1. The Megaleg battle song seems sequenced, but there are 2 files on the disc that sound like a variation of the Megaleg battle song. Also I made a gecko code to always play the alternate song and it seems the ‘Inside the observatory dome’ has an alternate version besides the Bowser Rolling variation, the file select variation and the shell-surfing variation of Beach Bowl Galaxy. I can’t remember when it plays.

Hey slippytoad, can you update the rar files?

Just download the current rar files and then download the individual songs that are different among the rar files, and his individual file list. It will save slippy the inconvenience of having to upload three huge files.

Can there be a list of all the different songs?

Are the yoshi versions forced on each song or can they be ripped separately? If so can you upload?

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but I’m pretty sure what he does is use a cheat to have Yoshi any time, and then he records the song version with the Yoshi Drums… I don’t think the drums themselves are rippable…

But I could be entirely wrong, so please correct me if I am…

Are the yoshi versions forced on each song or can they be ripped separately? If so can you upload?I use a gecko code. Besides the stream a sequenced drum is played. If you’re on yoshi the volume of this sequenced track is no longer 0. The gecko code changes the volume. The sequenced track is not loaded if yoshi is not in the level. Also sequenced songs work differently.

I don’t see a point in people requesting you to rip songs that are not truly in the soundtrack listing. I think you should stick with what songs you’ve ripped already… but that’s just my opinion. You’ve done a great job already and shouldn’t require to do extra that are not even really official anyway.

And when I had it on i noticed only a single unused yoshi version.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification, slippy.

I love this rip, and it is definitely the best rip of SMG2 in existence.

Listening to the various Yoshi themes, I am now curious if there are more Yoshi variations (ex. Slipsand/Clockwork Ruins Galaxy) or if those missing variations just aren’t present in the game.

Trying to force Yoshi variations on levels without Yoshi has no effect even with songs that have a Yoshi remix, because the sound bank is not loaded.
And the opposite is only true if they made a yoshi remix. For example the Star Chance song has no Yoshi remix.

And the only unused Yoshi Remix I found was the song called ‘Forest Dwellers’. (I will update this week the list with OST titles and replace some line-in recordings with the OST version and also my SMG 1 rip)

That’s pretty cool. And thank you very much for these rips- I can imagine that they are very time consuming and take a lot of effort (and knowledge- I feel completely clueless about the various sound banks and whatnot)

I still know when playing a game how it was programmed/designed, so I know what i’m doing.

Anyway, I updated the links. Tagged based on the OST and I also replaced some of the line-in recordings and gamerips with the lossless OST track to increase quality.

I cant not wait to see you posted your Super Mario Galaxy rip,i am so curious about what tracks are not used in the game

There is only one little problem with this rip. Your Mighty Megahammer track and Mighty Megahammer (with Yoshi) track are the same. The normal Mighty Megahammer track is supposed to not have the drums in the background. It is just the melody.

They are not the same. I downloaded his rip and they are correctly done. You might want to go back and listen again.

OK, I have to look at it. The last change I made I replaced songs with their OST version because they are higher quality (44.1khz vs. 32khz ingame)
I could have replaced the wrong version with the OST version.

Hello, I’m also working on some tracks of this. 🙂
I have recorded the full File Select song (…with drums at the intro) from Dolphin emulator. I spent almost a month to record and edit it.
Here’s the link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?s0aq7xf7lx28197

Have you updated the ZIP files of MP3s yet?

Have you updated the ZIP files of MP3s yet?Hey what did you use to make the track start playing from the start? The obvious way would be a gecko code as I did with SMG 1. I haven’t looked for a gecko code to make it start from beginning in SMG2 though.

The zip-files are already updated for some time. I’m fixing mighty megahammer now, since i changed the wrong one to the yoshi variation in the last change. Should be done within an hour after sending this message. Other then that it has the latest version.

edit: I just checked and it seems some uncompressed file downloads are missing. I try to fix it all ASAP. Seriously these downloads take a lot of time to maintain with all the small mistakes I’m fixing.

Also my pc is too slow for emulating gamecube/wii games. Too bad since i have an iso of luigi’s mansion that should have all sound fx muted.

I have not used any code for my emulator.
On the emulator in my computer, the Title song does not loop. Fortunately, when the Title song reaches the end, it plays again. (This is also applied to File Select song.) So I had to find the loop…
And my computer is very slow in-game, but it can handle the main title and the file-select screen (and the music that plays on these screens too).
If you don’t trust me, I have to show you how these songs play on my computer by a raw WAV record:
http://www.mediafire.com/?y36ip8qp6ntv2v7

it’s not that i don’ t trust you, but you’re wrong about the title song that it has a small intro before it loops again and I thought the recording had the intro with drums too.

Anyway i have an iso of luigi’s mansion with sound fx disabled, because i wanted to do a sfx-free rip, but i don’t have a dvd burner(it died), nor is dolphin fast enough to run and record songs from it. Could you maybe do a rip if i provide you the iso?

it’s not that i don’ t trust you, but you’re wrong about the title song that it has a small intro before it loops again and I thought the recording had the intro with drums too.

Do I have to explain how these songs play ON MY COMPUTER again?
I’ve already mentioned it by the raw WAV record. These songs does not loop on Dolphin. Every time they reach the loop-ending position (also the end of audio data), they stop for about 2-3 secs, and then play again from the start (not the loop-starting position…).
So I can re-record them any time I want. And I can have the drums in the intro of File Select song.

I notice that you have missed some samples before the loop-end position in some tracks, especially the tracks which pre-recorded material (in ASTs) and sequenced drums plays together (eg. Yoshi mix of Starship Mario #1, #2 and #3).
(… Oh, I have to tell you that the AST containing the title song is actually used in the game. Perhaps it plays at a (little bit) different bit-rate to "match" the sequenced drums.)
I’m just finding the loop in these songs (by finding visually the samples just before the loop-ending position which looks like the samples just before the loop-ending position).

I also notice some clicks in the tracks "Hungry Shroom Luma" and "Hungry Shroom Luma Had Enough".
Did your raw recordings from Wii have the clicks?

Now I can only spend time fixing your SMG2 soundtrack, since I’m a fan of Super Mario series. But I don’t think I can spend time ripping Luigi’s Mansion, since I’m at 11th grade at high school in Vietnam. I must be ready to spend much more time to study.
And my computer is like yours: Too slow in emulating GC and Wii games. Fortunately, it can handle most of the things in the title and the file-select screen in SMG2. I cannot go any further in-game, since my computer cannot show the important things in-game.

you misunderstood, i know your recording method and it started directly with the drums, so i was a bit puzzled since the game does not start playing with the drum right away. There’s no automatic way to find loop points in songs, but the ingame stream title.ast has looping info, even though it’s not used in the game.

I also notice some clicks in the tracks "Hungry Shroom Luma" and "Hungry Shroom Luma Had Enough".
Did your raw recordings from Wii have the clicks?
you have an old version, it’s been fixed. Like most yoshi variations are fixed too and play the intro.

But what missed samples in the starship mario versions? I got the loop points from the ast and since my recording is 44100, not 32000 khz i had to do a small calculation to get the right loop points.

Blah blah blah… I don’t want to discuss more on my recording method. Haizzz.

But about "Hungry Shroom Luma", "Hungry Shroom Luma Had Enough" and some tracks that loops again a bit sooner:

The clicks in "Hungry Shroom Luma" and "Hungry Shroom Luma Had Enough" is inaudible when I hear from the speakers, but I can notice them from headphones. Perhaps I can fix that by re-configure the loops.
Since the ASTs play with a little bit different speed in the game, the loop points you’ve got from the ASTs (and applied in your tracks) are not usually correct even though you’ve used calculations based on sample rate. I realize that when I try to "match" my recording of a song with the AST of that song (by note-to-note synchronization).

Sheet!!!!!!!

Its a very goodddddddddddddddddddddddd yes!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great music! But a few things should be mentioned… Track #141 is supposed to have the same intro as Track #140. You can just re-rip it and long jump as the battle starts (be sure to skip that cut scene.)

track 141 is unrippable. It plays the normal fire mario theme if you try to force it.

I realize that when I try to "match" my recording of a song with the AST of that song (by note-to-note synchronization). the little different speed is is normal since the game might be slown down. This is even more the case if you would use your emulated method. To see if the looping points were done well I test it by mixing the leftover audio(after the loop point) with the audio starting from the loop point to hear if it matches. Again you might have an old version, since most tracks are redone several times(most tracks were replaced with their OST version because of the increased sample rate). I could have made small mistakes or hide parts that were hard to record, but for the average listener they are inaudible.

OK. So your opinion is not fit with mine. I have general knowledge about music. I have to deal with your mistakes by re-finding the loops in your tracks. I will release the MP3 fix soon. I’m sorry that I can’t work with your FLAC version. My MP3 fix will contain Yoshi variations in some tracks.

The only question I have is if you only played the game on an emulator or also on a real wii? I’m quite curious how accurate wii emulating is. When I play it on an emulator the sound is a lot slower than on a real Wii and the reverb is often absent. Since you say Dolphin ignores loop points there might be audio after the loop point. Still I would take a second check to what you say since I don’t hear the mistakes in the starship mario tracks myself, but it has been quite some time I worked on the tracks. I know from experience that the game composer himself made mistakes too.

Do you have the latest version of these songs?

I’ve been waiting for this question. I had downloaded the latest version before I asked you about your mistakes.

Yoshi mix for Starship Mario #2 is fine, but #1 and #3 is still not. And Yoshi mix of some other tracks are not looping well too. These songs should be listed in my fix.

Why not rip it yourself if you think so little of the rip?

and to jurassicPieter: don’t worry about what this guy says about your rip too much 😉

Hey Slippytoad. I’m not sure if you’re still looking for constant updates but i managed to find a full complete version of the squizzard battle (Fire Mario). I’m not bashing you or your music i love your soundtrack and the work you’ve done. I’m just trying to help and make the ost that much better.

http://www.brawlcustommusic.com/2556

It’s available in Mp3 format…I don’t know if it matches your music quality though….but here it goes[COLOR="Silver"]

wow :$ the best tracks rip!!!! very thanks!

Why not rip it yourself if you think so little of the rip?
This is because I don’t have a Wii at home, so I can’t make a complete rip. And I don’t have much free time to rip.
If I make a soundtrack that use most of the track in this ultimate soundtrack, it would be a lie. OK?

If all you’re going to do is bitch about how "imperfect" his rip is, then don’t sit there and spout out a bunch of BS about how you could improve it if you’re not going to put your money where your keyboard is. All you’re doing it making yourself look like a douchebag tool.

Hello Arigeitsu159, I think you don’t have to say that because I’m working on some tracks of this soundtrack. My fix is located here:
My MP3 fix at MediaFire (http://www.mediafire.com/?i412sk9f484q5)
I’m updating this every week, and I’m uploading completed tracks there. Please take some time listening to my fix.

For slippyToad: I would like to co-operate with you on this soundtrack.
Would you please give me a raw record of Bowser Jr.’s Fort (Yoshi mix) from your Wii?
The thing I’ve done with the current version of this track is making it looped in a right time. But it still sounds not perfect between the two loops…

I’m busy with other things then working on any soundtrack. I threw away the raw records All I have is the flac’s and loop points in samples. If yours are better I change them but I’m hesitant to use emulated song recordings. I prefer to have the yoshi variation of the teleporter song looped(the normal version was looped on the OST)

The loop points I found for Bowser Jr.’s Fort are 181052 samples (loop start) and 2502099 samples (loops again)

The intro is the normal squizzard battle intro, but may be I can add it to the start.
After I listened carefully to the OST, I would like to suggest that the correct intro for "Squizzard Battle (Fire Mario)" is not like the one in the normal Squizzard Battle song. It is just some drums.
Is there anyone can get these drums???

Uhm… Since you threw away your raw records, I can only make Bowser Jr.’s Fort (Yoshi mix) loops in a right beat, and can’t make it sounds perfect.
I have the same problem when re-looping Gusty Garden Galaxy (Yoshi mix).
Those two songs are in the folder "Corrected loops – Not perfect sounds".
I don’t have a Wii at home, so I have to rely on your soundtrack to fix. I haven’t meant "fixing" is "re-ripping".
And I’m planning to edit some tracks in the OST to make the real critical mix which played in the game. Would you like to complain on this plan?

i’m fine with that. Might do a listen again to my soundrips. I just noticed on my Wii Play rip that one track had still a tank SFX in the start. And also trying to fix the syncing problems in my SMG1 rip

OK. I’m editing the OST.
And I would like to receive raw records of "Grandmaster Galaxy – Gusty Garden Galaxy (Yoshi)" and "Bowser Jr.’s Fort (Yoshi)" from your Wii.
I prefer the following format for raw records: WAV, 96000Hz, 32-bit float.

There’s a funny thing about that Squizzard (Fire Mario) thing on brawlcustommusic.com — I actually took the seperate MP3s of the normal version, and the ‘Fire Mario’ versions, FROM you and just used Audacity to have the normal intro play before the Fire Mario version starts.

oh well i’m not trying insult anyone if that’s what your getting at. I still have his ost on my harddrive i really appreciate it

Dude thank you so much, this game was amazing and Nintendo never makes their soundtracks long enough!! This is a gift from heaven, thank you!!

If only you could do this for Super Mario Sunshine. So far, the only tracks that we have (from official soundtracks) are pretty much all the regular stage themes, including Delfino Plaza, both Pinna Park themes (as in the beach, and the main park), Deep Sea of Mare (i.e. Red Coin Fish), Sky & Sea (aka The Book in the Bottle), that small tune that plays in Pianta Village usually known as "The Local Band Helps Celebrate", the "secret courses", and even the Mecha Koopa theme. These are from the Happy! Mario 20th – Mario Sound Collection (or whatever it’s called), and a couple are from the Nintendo Sound Selection series, however, obviously, there are still loads of songs from the game that have never been released on a soundtrack, for example, any other boss themes (there are four in total not counting Mecha Koopa, the one that plays when you fight those goopy piranha plants or "Piranha Plant in the Generator", the other theme when you fight Petey Piranha etc, then there’s the one during the Manta Storm which is similar to the first one, but slightly different, and of course then there’s the final Bowser theme). There’s also the faster version of Pianta Village which actually plays in a 4/4 arrangement compared to the normal 3/4 version, during Piantas in Need, then there’s Corona Mountain, the timer music, and even if you included them, the probably rarely actually heard "cutscene" music that plays in the background of cutscenes. For example, when Mario’s in prison, you have that piano melody. If someone was able to get any of these songs at good quality without sound effects that’d be awesome. I doubt it would be possible for cutscenes, but then…

Great up man, thanx a lot

Most people downloaded it already. As for your request. I can record 96 khz, 32-bit float, but I think that’s a bit overkill, especially since 90% of the soundcards just upsample the recording.

I would also support an attempt at making a solid rip of Super Mario Sunshine.

So do I, but the only way for me to change files on the iso is by using the wiibrew riivolution which does not work on gamecube games.

so i have to the download the MP3_1_2_3 to listen to the the the soundtrack?
If you want to listen to all of them, yes. If you only look for a specific song download just the individual song from the list.

zomg. I was so upset to see the FLAC only thing on your thread title, ’cause I still don’t know how to put FLAC on CD, or even if you can. Then I saw the link to FLAC OR mp3. Thank you thank you thank you.

Thanks for the wonderful upload, SlippyToad. This really seems like the most exhaustive and conclusive rip of the soundtrack from SMG2.

One quick question: I’m trying the track down the 1-UP sound effect from the game… is it in your rip?

For reference, here it is in the following youtube clip: YouTube – Super Mario Galaxy 2 | Infinte 1-UP Glitch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZOc0xcr94g#t=0m58s)

It sounds like a streaming audio file, not sequenced. But my ears could be deceiving me. If this isn’t already in your rip, I would be indebted for a copy in MP3 format.

Many thanks in advance!

Great work, many thanks for uploading this soundtrack, must have had been a pain doing 200+ songs, much respect.

the 1-up is in the sfx library. That’s weird since the 5-up is sequenced and rippable. I think it’s a mono stream in the big aw file. Haven’t ripped it and nobody asked about it, so I never bothered to look for this 1 sec ‘song’

Hi Slippy,

Thanks for the explanation. Just to make it clear, when you compare the 1-up song to the 5-up song, does that mean the 1-up song is NOT rippable?

I’m not sure what you mean when you mention the "big aw file". Is that is something I can get a copy of, and is it then possible to process the 1-up song out of it to create an MP3?

I don’t mind doing some dirty work to get what I need. I might just need a little pointer in the right direction.

Many thanks!

Many thanks!the 1-up is in the sfx section, and since the game contains about 300 sfx it’s just a matter of searching intensively for it. On the game disc you find files with the file format .aw. They contain sound fx and the instruments. No individual sound extractor is made for SMG2 yet, but there’s a tool called dumpaw.exe(google is your friend) to get 9 files with potential sound fx.

I am slowly making my way through the AW files under the Waves directory of the ISO.

I should also mention I am using WIIScrubber to extract the AW files from the ISO each time… is there a better way? It is rather cumbersome, as it seems like it can only extract a single file at a time.

So, I am using awdump.exe to parse each AW file individually. Not an easy task since it looks like there are over 100 AW files. Anyway, the 9 WAV files that dumpaw.exe produces are strange in that there is a lot of static (mostly static, actually), but brief seconds of music interspersed. I prefer to load the WAVs into an audio editor to quickly eyeball the waveform graph for possible hits.

I have also noticed that larger AW files definitely have more useful sound effects in them. In fact, the file B118take_6.aw even has the full minute-plus intro screen score.

Another interesting thing I noticed is that split across these 9 mono streams are actually the Left and Right stereo channels. Although tricky, I imagine it is quite possible to reassemble these back into a stereo file.

Still, through it all, no luck yet in tracking down the ellusive 1-up sound effect. You mentioned that there is a "Big AW" file… any chance you have the file name so I can find it easier?

Also, if you have any more insights into making my workflow as described a little easier, I’d appreciate it.

Sorry if this discussion has become a little off topic, but I value the information and hope it might help others interested in the SMG2 sound effects.

Thanks!

sorry, I was working on the SMS rip and in that game one .aw file contains 90% of the SFX and every song had it’s own .aw file. In SMG and SMG2 this is the opposite. And the reason for so much static is that the audio is saved in frames of 9 bytes, but every sound file starts as a multiple of 10 bytes. I haven’t looked much at individual sounds for SMG to be honest. Since the same sfx was used in both SMG and SMG2 it should probably be an .aw file that is included on both games.

No worries. As I said, I really appreciate you poking me in the right direction. At least I have a chance at landing the audio stream I’m looking for… albeit a needle-in-a-haystack’s chance.

Any chance you could recommend a better way to decrypt and extract the entire SMG2 ISO? As mentioned, I am using WiiScrubber which only allows single-clicking each file to extract them. I’d really like a way to extract the entire AudioRes/Waves folder at once, which contains all the AW files.

EDIT: Silly me! I can right-click the partition and extract it completely. At least that problem’s solved.

I’ve tried a few of the tools found here:
List of PC utilities – WiiBrew (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_PC_utilities)

Namely: WiiFuse and WiiTools. But, neither has been able to read the SMG2 ISO.

I am comfortable using a tool on Windows or Linux, including ones that need to be built from source code. So, feel free to recommend anything you think might help.

Also, as for comparing the sound effects between SMG and SMG2 — I believe the 1-up sound changed between these two games. It’s a slight change, but significant enough that I’d like the SMG2 version.

"inside the drain pipe" is actually used in the game. It plays in the bonus room in Slimy Spring Galaxy.

Thanks yet again, slippyToad 😀

Hey, if the file select drums is what you’re looking for, look what I got for you!

Free File Sharing Made Simple – MediaFire (http://www.mediafire.com/?20w3i8ofiobe5v0,xfggu8xzwc4q7cb,2ka3xi66ltf5v2u)

All the necessary files were found in B118take_6.aw in the Wavs folder of the game disc.

Edit: I see it’s also in the soundtrack now, but the difference is that my rip doesn’t have the selection SFX.

It’d be awesome if someone was able to rip the entire soundtrack, including sequences.

Thanks a bunch for this mate. =)

Mp3 part 2 doesn’t work. Please fix!

thank you so much (again)!

If I’ve already thanked you, then thanks again!

I realise that this thread is pretty dead, but @slippyToad, is it possible for you to provide the midis and a soundfont? You might not actually have them, but I thought I’d ask since you got basically EVERY track in the game.

EDIT: Ok I just noticed that slippyToad hasn’t done anything here since 2014 soooooo never mind lol

Well it turns out I just need a soundfont now, which is apparently really hard to find/make haha yes.
