“Super Mario Bros Metal Theme” by Adam Nelson

Mushroom Kingdom Goes Metal—And It Shreds

Adam Nelson’s Super Mario Bros Metal Theme isn’t just a remix, it’s an electric eruption of childhood memories, reimagined through the raw energy of metal. From the opening bars, you know you’re in for something wild. This isn’t the cheerful 8-bit tune you grew up with, this is that same melody hurled into a blazing arena of double kicks, shredding solos, and blistering tempo.

What sets this track apart is how effortlessly Nelson fuses video game nostalgia with full-throttle metal aesthetics. The familiar motifs are still there, but they’re cloaked in distortion and attitude. It’s a sonic transformation that feels fresh yet loyal to the source. Nelson doesn’t overcomplicate things, he knows the strength of the original lies in its simplicity, and he lets that theme cut through like a sword through lava.

Every second is packed with intensity, like a speedrun turned symphonic showdown. You can almost see Mario jumping barrels, dodging fireballs, and leveling up—only now he’s wearing leather and throwing horns. It’s absurd, exhilarating, and totally badass.

For fans of metal and gamers alike, this is more than just a novelty, it’s a blast of creativity that redefines how we hear classic themes. Whether you’re moshing in your room or just grinning at the brilliance, one thing’s for sure: Adam Nelson just gave Mario a serious edge.
