2:34 is where it gets me. This grand waltz suddenly stops. There’s a pause, then this calm rendition begins. Reminding you that this is, more or less, about a young girl lost to the endless expanses of space. Well done.

Story: When I was a little kid, Mario galaxy was my favorite game. I played it so much, but I can barely remember it. As soon as I heard those first few notes, it was like a switch in my heart was flipped, and I was back in that old house, before I went to school, before I had responsibilities, when life was so simple. Now that disk is probably somewhere, scratched, under a pile of other old games. thank you so much for letting me remember a song that I have long forgotten

I always close my eyes for my first listen to your new arrangements, and I gotta say, this one was really special. Dark media room, Wiimote in hand, face glued to the TV screen 2 feet away. Hopping, jumping, and running around the Observatory exploring all the hidden spots. Then near the end when the piece gets softer, you can almost hear the giggle of Lumas as you give them star bits. Very nostalgic, thanks Erik! Much love from Texas!

Thank you so much for bringing tears to my eyes. This game is the first Mario game I ever played and is my childhood. My dad bought this game when I was about the age of 6. I loved watching him play it. I soon created my own save profile and played myself. I was terrible of course, but the wonder and curiously was there. Looking into the beautiful emptiness of space, and the brilliant colors of the observatory really made me excited and ready to explore the crazy galaxies. When the song slows down at the end and softens, it makes me sad. Mario has always been a part of my life, but as the song fades it reminds me of how my childhood is too. It makes me cry but I am so happy that I got enjoy the memories once more. Thank you again so much for letting me revisit my childhood.

Hey Erik. I just want to say thank you for playing this, It means alot more to me than you think, One time I was staying at my grandparents house and I brought my wii over to play my favourite game (Super Mario Galaxy) so I start playing and my nan walks in to say goodnight and she hears Rosilina's observatory playing in the background she told me what a nice song that is, since then she's always wanted me to show her the song on my phone and she even set it as her ringtone at one point, she just loved the song. But sadly 3 days ago she sadly passed due to covid and a bunch of other illnesses so this song reminds me of her so thank you 3:06

If this waltz isn't played at my wedding, then I'm not getting married. This literally made me cry. NOSTALGIA.

This song is what I think about whenever someone says thew word "waltz" or more accurately "Walzer" as I'm german... it's also a song that's so ingrained into my childhood, I sometimes mix parts of it up with the cartoons I used to watch before I went to sleep when I was around 4 years old... It's beautiful and this redition is just amazing.

its so beautiful im gonna cry

This song brings me to tears. Thank you so much for this special piece

I'm just gonna go on a bit of a tangent here, but can we talk about how beautiful this song is? Nintendo is full of incredible composers and this song is a prime example of Nintendo caring about their games! They give these beautiful pieces, perfectly reflecting the safety and happiness of the observatory! Something like gusty garden galaxy makes me want to explore just cause of its beautiful tune! Erik, you are incredible at this type of stuff, wish you the best.

I love how at the end of this, you play the game over music, and it's like "oh no, so he died?" but then you end it with the 1-up sound ahah

3D All-Stars: comes out blasts this: Let's do this... one... more... time...

“Dad, how was you childhood like?” Me : starbits and luma

It’s crazy reading all of these comments and realizing much this one game impacted all of our childhoods

This reminded me of when I’d play Super Mario Galaxy, and how is never wanted to leave the observatory because I liked the music so much 😅

Nintendo music is so good, especially when transcribed to piano :U

Nostalgia is the only pain that I really like to have.

Many years ago I used this song several times to make my little brother fall asleep ☺️

I want this song at my funeral.

One of the most legendary piano pieces I have ever heard arranged. I come back to this video two years later after posting this comment and have begun my piano journey 15 months ago. I am playing fantasie impromptu in a concert next week! All started and inspired from this piece, which encouraged me to pick up piano. Thank you erik. Thank you Mario.

This is the song that I listened to on loop for a solid 8 or so hours while I was pulling an all nighter.

* cue crying * I was actually drawing rosalina while I was listening to this 😂

3 years.... It was 3 years since I had a Nintendo Wii. I had Sonic Unleashed New Super Mario Bros. Wii. And Super Mario Galaxy Super Mario Galaxy was the most played game I've ever played since Super Mario Bros. 3 Hearing this reminds me of those times... I hope you reach your dream goals and live a happy life. You'll have plenty of Subscribers and fans by the time you've finished your path. Now, we can listen to masterpieces in harmony.

this is where the frustrating but yet amazing memories come back

I’m currently playing Mario Galaxy on switch for the first time since I was 8 and it still is one of those few games that can spark true wonder in you and give you good dreams if you play it before bed. The only difference in playing it today is that I have 99 lives and I don’t have six hours a day to play it. Nintendo really is the maker of childhoods; I wish I could have played botw as a kid.

This is giving me super Mario 3D world vibes

If Mario ends please make this the credits

You aren’t trying to show off with this work, which is why it is more effective. You save any flashy parts for the true climax. And the END! That was a truly beautiful touch. Bravo!

Me: listens to this Eric: *Plays rosalinas storybook* Me: damn you so much, it’s enough to make me cry twice

This gave me so much nostalgia from my favorite game, super Mario galaxy

This does make me smile but in a sad way. It makes me remember all the stories and the hours I spent explorin the amazing observatory. Thank you.

Nostalgia = something so beautiful and yet so painful

Nostalgia just slipped me a roofie and left me to wake up without a kidney in a bathtub full of ice. I love it

how this song relaxes me, how good it feels to remember my great moments with this game... good times

Your cover takes me back to the old days, I’m 100% buying a new game (my disc is scratched) and playing it through! The nostalgia trip oh my lord!!!

When I first played this game, I barely knew chopsticks on the piano. The first time I heard this song, I knew I was going to play it some day. That day is approaching. This piece has helped me reach my goal that is 10 years in the making.

i love how, even though i didnt grow up playing super mario galaxy, when i popped this game into my wii and turned it on it sure felt like it

I cried, it made me remember when life was simple, my old house, my old friends no problems just a kid slowly growing and enjoying life, that nintendo was my first videogame and here in Brazil it is not something cheap you know, i loved that so much i spent hours and hours playing and have no regrets, thank you for giving me the opportunity to remember all that

So beautiful! Thank you for uploading, listening to this is an awesome way to start my day ^^

This is one of my all-time favorite graceful tracks in a Nintendo title. It sounds so similar to people dancing to the Waltz.... I absolutely adore this piece. As you unlock more and more areas in Galaxy, this piece gets louder and more defined as well. It's like it is a small bit muffled at the start of the game, but then it comes alive when you bring more life to the ship.

when me and my older brother were kids i always sat next to him on with my white wii remote while he had the special blue one, and he always played as mario and i sat next to him and watched while i collected the star bits and shot them back and rosalinas observatory is so nostalgic and i feel like a little kid again, before my brother left for college i used to sit next to him while he played the piano and listen very closely because i knew i wouldn't hear him play in a while, and all of a sudden he started playing rosalinas observatory and i started crying so hard i had to go to the bathroom and freshen up for a while now my brother lives so far in college and ever since his last visit we've argued so much and now we barely talk and this song brings me back so much i miss my kuya
