Dire, Dire Docks (Super Mario 64) - GaMetal Remix

We're hanging around the Mario universe just a little bit longer!
◆ Gameplay footage by TheHarDeOne (Thank you!)

Although this song first appears in the game in Jolly Roger Bay (assuming you don't go to the Secret Aquarium first), it's officially titled Dire, Dire Docks, which you don't get to till later in the game.

Did you know this song hasn't been brought back in any way in any recent Mario game? Maybe they're saving it for something special...

This was my wife's yearly song choice for Valentine's Day, so I'll let her finish out the description:

"I didn't really know how to fully play this game (I was 6 and it was my brother's). Soooo I would leave Mario in Jolly Roger Bay just so that I could listen to the music while I played around in my room or read books. BUT! I did know how to throw the baby penguins off the cliffs in Cool Cool Mountain. That was fun!.... Do I need therapy? Am I okay?"

Careful guys, this is some chill metal.


No seriously, your skin could stick.

[JonnyAtma]

This was my wife's annual Valentine's Day song choice! The Bowser scenes were also her idea, lol.

[brandontherabboat]

Could be my nostalgia talking, but this is top-tier water level music.

[oceanic_orca]

0:57 And over here we see a rare specimen, the Aquatic Bowser. A rare sight indeed.

Everyone's vibin' until the Eel comes out and play.

[huskthedog]

The Bowser puppet swimming was so adorable I love it.

[mikeyaftony]

Me: how did he remix dire dire docks?
Song: *plays*
Me: damn that's how, that's really good too

[hypernova_]

GaMetal? More like GaMellow!

But seriously, this is one of your best covers because of how much it sticks out from the rest.

[memerio]

How can this song be dire if the music is supposed to be peaceful?

Even by Jonny's incredibly high standards, this stands out as amazing.


Seriously, this one was a masterpiece.

[OncleSamProductionsArchives]

I had a really hard day today. Feeling really down.

This remix calmed me and cheered me up at the same time.

Thanks for that Johnny.

This song always brought tears to my eyes with the rush of nostalgia and emotion because kid me could never get very far but I would play the level just to hear the song. I built up a resistance and stopped crying every time I heard it. Then I heard this, and I started all over again. 10/10, would cry over it again.

[miu]

I cried a river listening to this beauty

[ChristopherMoom]

Luke Saward is the MASTER of this song, I think some of us should know why..

[ddxinthehouse]

I'm not crying, you are crying! god this song was above and beyond anything I could have imagined.

[symphonyoforder]

You did justice to this song, it's one of the greatest remix I've ever heard. It's awesome.
