It’s nice to see a Mario medley that doesn’t end with the death music.

Those staccatos really capture the 8 bit sound in the beginning.

Boy, this melody sure does bring back some childhood memories.

Love your version! Nostalgic, fresh, and beautiful.

Ich auch.

Glad to hear your ragged version. My teen does not want to hear it at the moment but maybe later. This piece is at the intersection of my love of ragtime and popular music from 1890's to now and my teen who has introduced me to video game music.

Your hands move so beautifully across the keys, you make it look so effortless. Lovely rendition.

I think think the left hand part is very difficult. Lots of variety and big jumps.

Never, never thought I'd find this song soooo fascinating. Great job!

At last - someone treats this tune in a palatable way that I can digest. Heard it briefly a million times before, but always passed it by. This time, I thought, "Okay, I'll give it a whirl" and stayed for the entire show. This is a keeper for sure and is now for me the definitive version. Wouldn't you love to hear this treatment used in a big-time Hollywood production?

Whoo! No denying Kristen is making any piece irresistible w/ her style that is now quite iconic!

I agree with you, but it’s not “any” piece. It’s Mario.

Amazing as always.

love this rendition!

I don’t know why but this video always makes me cry. My life’s currently a mess, but it’s not all bad as long as I keep going forward. This just reminds me of when I was a care free kid I used to be and not the suicidal freak of the school. But as of today it’s been a year since my last attempt. This cover is truly something special. Thank you.

Sorry things are hard for you. From your comment it sounds like you’re still young, still in school…things will get better. I know when you’re in high school it seems like that’s the whole world and everything is important, but I promise it’s not. As you get older you’ll learn that all of these things that get you down don’t matter in the long run. Try and think positive thoughts and stay hopeful that things will get better. They will. I know from experience. When I was 16/17 I was suicidal. Now at 43 the things that used to get me upset don’t matter at all, and my life is full of happiness and people I love.

Brilliant and your timing is FIRE! Hope your release does sooo well!

Kristen, this is so awesome! Thank you so much for your dedication!

This was the weirdest yet most incredible rendition of super mario brothers that I have ever heard! I love the little honky tonk vibe it gives off!

When this came across my Spotify, at first I thought "Oh it's Tom Brier!" and then saw it was your arrangement to have even more excitement! WONDERFUL KRISTEN!!!!! Encore as always!

Always love your tasteful work. Thank you !

I was so happy to see this, I'm always excited to see you play 😊 please never stop playing keys you rock and inspire me to keep learning. Music brings us all together ❤

Thanks for the memories.😁 take that goomba, blink,blink!

Now it comes to my mind why I like the Super Mario tune. It's ragtime 😄

Tremenda!! Felicidades, que presioso que te quedó, escucha "Super Mario World - Ending Theme" tambien tiene un estilo ragtime y se escucha genial en piano

Wow ! the arrangement is so groovy, love it

Either I didn't play, or its been too long. Without recognition, this is new and fresh, and love that left arm/hand action. How fun !

Not only is the performance outstanding, but the audio quality is equally superb. Bravo!

That is so awesome! Your performance made me so happy! Thank you for sharing!

Great! I specially loved the extra riff at 1:38

Wow ! Love it !

As Amazing as always! Love it !!

I think this is how the tune should have sounded in the first place . Well done Kristen for putting it right.

This is exactly what I was hoping for-fantastic work!!

Loved it! You made me smile, and relive the days of the old Nintendo. Your are SO the best.

Love the ragtime-y feel you gave it, which it always reminded me a little bit of too. Great job with the arrangement!

Excellent job! I never noticed the ragtime feel before until I heard you play it like this. It’s really a catchy tune and you do it wonderfully!

Brilliantly awesome.👏

awesome as usual

So fun! Makes me want to play Super Mario again! LOL. Great job with this arrangement Kristen! Love it!

Yessss!!! I love it!

Gotta love the camera stare at the start and end of the video

I love ragtime so much. Very cool

New studio looking spiffy. :)

This is one of the best arrangements of the super mario theme, this channel just gets better and better

Simply beautiful in every way, thank you.

Outstanding you are so very talented, keep the hits coming.

Just amazing! I love it!

awesome! glad u finally did mario!!

Fantastic as always!👍🏼

You’re an inspiration Kristen!

Awesome!

I'm not a video game fan, but I am a ragtime fan, and I love to hear you play. This is excellent!

I love this!

Very lovely version. Clean, cheerful, sweet and flawless! The artistic way she moves her hands across the keyboard is also very entertaining to watch. I'm inspired, too. That's enough KZread for today. I'm gonna get on my NES and play Mario until Princess Toadstool gets tired of being rescued.

Nicely done, Kristen! You got me pumped for the Super Mario Bros movie!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Bravo!! 😊

That was great!

Wow - that was complicated. But played brilliantly as usual. Well done!

That was really awesome! I bow to the master!

This is a really good arrangement!

I like the style!

Superb!

Duuuuuude this was so friggen rad. Well done.

Very good. I am such a fan of your Disney music.

This is fantastic. I've been teaching the Mario score for years as "Japanese Ragtime." Your arrangement kicks mine out of the way completely. 12/10. 😁

I like the uncomfortably awkward smile you gave the camera at the begin of the video! 😆

I'm in love with you! You're piano playing skills are next level!

I can't express how much I love your music.

Just in time for the Mario Movie tomorrow! Fantastic cover!

You're the best. Thanks!

Earned yourself a new subscriber! Thanks for sharing your talent :) ragtime is one of those styles that just always makes you feel good!

Could listen all day!

Heck yes! Very nice. Joplin and the creators of super Mario brothers 82' both thank you for improving upon the original.

Yay! This cover is super!!!

Wow I love this.. perfectly played 🤗🥰

A superb rendition, well played👍

Love it 😎😁

Ragtime Mario! I love it!🤩

Amazing .

Wonderful

veeeeery Good!!!

Well done!

Nice job!

Loved this!! ♥ I remember around 15 or so years ago at church, there was a song we used to sing now and then that happened to share some of the same chord progression on part of it as the Super Mario Bros Overworrld theme, so, when I was playing the piano there and that song came up.... 😂🎮

Lol I would love to have heard that song.

What a classic!! I love your happy raggy version - and yes it doesn't end with the death music lol. In fact, You've given me an idea (imagine a lightbulb appearing above my head) of an arrangement for this to do on my channel soon. Thanks for the free inspiration ^^
