Track description | Creative process
I decided from the beginning that I wasn't going to try to aim for something like the original iconic SMB underground theme. I was more inspired by Hazy Maze cave from SM64 and the underground theme from SMW.
Composed almost all of the piece on the first day of the jam and then put it aside because I wasn't satisfied with the direction it was heading. I decided I might as well submit it and did some finishing touches on the last day.
It ended up sounding more like a jungle theme than an underground theme to me, in large part due to the percussion, hence a Jungle Cave.
I'm not satisfied with the arrangement of the piece. I feel it sounds a bit too simple and boring. I also think the constant conga percussion loop ended up being too repetitive. (I at least got very tired of listening to it in the mixing phase lol.)
