More about this title

About the Composer: Koji Kondo

Koji Kondo shaped video game music as we know it. His work on the original Super Mario Bros. (1985) established the template for how music could drive gameplay, set tone, and lodge itself permanently in players' memory. Across four decades, Kondo has composed for Nintendo's most beloved franchises, proving that video game scores deserve the same compositional craft and emotional intelligence as any other medium.

Why we love this

This collection taps into music that genuinely matters to your students. These aren't arrangements of obscure classical works; they're melodies students have heard thousands of times, which means engagement is instant and motivation is already built in. The Easy Piano level keeps the arranging thoughtful without being simplistic, so pianists feel like they're playing real music, not a stripped-down version.

What to expect

Joyful and instantly familiar. These themes carry decades of nostalgia and play, wrapping you in the warmth of recognizable melodies the moment you begin. Even in Easy Piano form, they retain their cheerfulness, driving rhythms, and sense of adventure.

Who it's for

Pianists at the easy level who want to play music they actually recognize and care about. This book works equally well for young students building technique and confidence, adult learners exploring familiar repertoire, and anyone preparing pieces for recitals, family gatherings, or casual performances.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the articulation crisp and rhythmic. These themes thrive on precision, so pay attention to staccato markings and don't let repeated passages blur together.
  • Lean into the character of each setting. The underwater theme needs fluidity; the castle theme needs gravitas. Let the context guide your tempo and touch.
  • Balance playfulness with control. Video game music lives on repetition, so use dynamics and touch variety to keep familiar passages fresh for listeners.

How to use it

Program a Nintendo medley at a student recital, family concert, or casual coffee house performance. This book also works beautifully as a bridge to engage non-traditional pianists or to include video game music in a broader recital that might span classical, pop, and film music. Students often gravitate toward performing for peers when the repertoire connects to shared cultural moments.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and executing repeated rhythmic patterns accurately
  • Maintaining steady tempo across longer pieces
  • Voicing melody and accompaniment clearly on a single staff
  • Managing hand position shifts for scale passages
  • Interpreting character through tempo and dynamic choices
