She is? That's a great callback.
She's also the mayor of New Donk City.

That's totally unexpected, and yet, really cool.
If anything, with Rosalina's recent popularity I figured she would have been give the role.
Rosalina's too busy running the entire Mario universe.

Probably never gonna happen, but personally, I would like for Jumpman to make a cameo, and confirm the two Mario theory.

it sounds like something you'd hear playing God Hand
Reminded me a lot of Clockwork Knight's opening with the big band stuff (and not just because of my avatar):

Very catchy and cheerful song, very wise choice from Nintendo to use this track for the trailer. It's very pleasant to hear from start to finish and can really stuck in the head and easily will become one of the most memorable pieces of videogame music ever created, no doubt about that.
Someone asked about Donkey Kong during the Treehouse gameplay and Ninty wouldn't say anything. Maybe dude's orchestrating the whole thing?

I'm kinda surprised to see so much praise. I finally gave it a good listen and I really don't like it. Not my thing.

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.

This song is my favorite fucking thing. I'd love it even more of there were other songs included in the game in some way.

Wow, now I have listened to theme a dozen times, if not more.
I don't understand someone who likes Mario, and yet, dislike this theme.
This song is the very definition of "fun." Fits this game like a glove, and then some.
Yes, orchestra soundtrack of Galaxy series was great stuff, but as the saying goes variety is the spice of life, and this song delivers the spice in spades.

Best thing from the presentation! The theme heard in the January trailer was lacking amd felt like a fake Mario Galaxy track. This one has charm and sounds so happy.

Oh wow you are right!!
I'm no pro by that sounds like such bad lyrical writing lmao...AND YET IT SOMEHOW WORKS PERFECTLY. I don't know how Nintendo does it.

I love it.
Do we know who composed it?

I'd say more twenties. It's very flapper-era, I felt.

I really like it, it's so uplifting and playful and makes me happy 
I really didn't expect to hear a track with vocals.

I really, really love the big band style they've been using the past few years with Mario games. It's really a perfect fit for Mario.
They've been outputting masterclass soundtracks lately, their music department is incredible.
