"Dire dire docks" and "bob-omb battlefield" are the two tunes permanently ingrained into my memory from mario 64

I remember the first time I heard this. I was... 7 years old or maybe 8. I was in a mall, and I found this big thing that was Nintendo 64. Kids were playing so I started looking at it. It was... like magic. Think that I was coming from Mario world for SNES. Mario 64 was... a different world, it was like sci-fi. I didn't know what I was doing but everything seemed to make sense, the swimming in 3d felt weird but intuitive. The exploration aspect, the music, the underwater cave, the giant eel... The magic of gaming man. You could make a video talking about your own gaming early experiences. You seem like a sega guy for some reason XD, snes guy prejudices here XD. I love to talk about my own gaming experiences and listening to others', I bet most people do too.

Id also recommend Aquatic Ambience from DKC

It's fine if you're just listening to it, but don't let yourself relax too much when you hear this music if you play the game. One of the two levels that use this music contains something that traumatized a lot of first-time players. The other has a shark and a whirlpool that instantly kills Mario if he gets caught in it.
