This project is one of my favorites, as working with Nintendo was a lifelong honor. I infused traditional Nintendo sounds into various styles, including jazz, hip-hop, classical, and bossa nova. At the end of the project, a producer sent me a photo of one of the office areas with a note saying, "Stop whistling the music of the game," which made me laugh with joy and pride.

A fun tidbit: I initially didn’t know it was a Nintendo project. I pitched through Paladin Studios for an "office game" and composed a fast-paced, 50s-style track using office sounds like mouse clicks and keyboard typing. When the team asked about my approach, I mentioned I was imagining it as a Nintendo game. They looked puzzled and ended the meeting, but a few days later, I learned it was indeed a Nintendo game, and I got the gig.
