“Buoy Base Galaxy” Video, from Super Mario Galaxy

The awesome “Buoy Base Galaxy” theme from Super Mario Galaxy. This is my first energetic piano cover on YouTube, and what an epic battle it was. My arms were sore, my fingertips felt raw and I cut my right thumb on the keys!

  1. I love all the music that you play...I wish that i was even at least half as good as you are!!! i just started playing piano 2 years ago because my parents finally let me play ( i've wanted to play since i was 7)...I could've been at least closer to your level of playing if they let me play earlier.....We'll thank you. you have inspired me to try my best piano even if i got a late start

  2. Thank you! I'm glad that you're not discouraged by getting a "late start." I know a lot of great musicians who started playing in their teens. It's not about when you start - it's about how long you keep going, so I'm positive that you'll reach your goals with a little practice and determination. :)

  3. Hi Aivi
    I also play video game music.( Super Mario Galaxy being one of my favorites) Love your playing! Since I was 4 I have been playing songs by ear... first Mary had a little lamb, then Kingdom Heart's opening menu theme, then Space Junk Galaxy, and my list goes on...but...Here's one song I will NEVER BE ABLE TO PLAY BY EAR!!! I feel defeated....-_-

    All I gotta say is WOW!+WHOA!

  5. To Anonymous: Wow, sounds like you've been playing for quite awhile. Figuring out Space Junk Galaxy is no easy feat; perhaps you are underestimating yourself? ;)

    To Nab: Sorry, I don't have any sheet music for the Buoy Base theme at the moment! I made some other SMG arrangements awhile back though.

  9. Hi - I simply love your arrangement, and I would like to play it myself although I don't want to put pressure on you.. I can play by ear, but the left hand just doesn't work for me.. The melody is the easy part so that is the only part I can arrange. Wonderful to hear such a good arrangement.

  11. You gave me a present that made me wanna scream... Be happy, I rarely do that!
    I love the music you play... unfortunately, my computer is too slow and too old to see the most of your videos. I could only view the SMG videos and I'm dying to hear the Starfox one you got going. :(
    I have to travel down to the city library in order to print out your music. We are not allowed to put sound on
    It's a windows 96...It sucks...

  16. Can you show me your "Super Mario Galaxy - Buoy Base Galaxy (Piano)"? The first take? Not "take #2" please? i won't laugh because i am just curious. I think i spelled that wrong. Besides, i am only 7.

  17. Aivi, Can I look at your first take video?
    Because I want to see the difference between the first and second. I won't laugh at it or anything. Cross my heart, hope to die. Stick a thousand needles up my eye (with the hand gestures). I am the person who wrote the comment about seeing the private video on the second take comments. Please? I just want to see it. Please answer my question. PLEASE?!

  18. Hi! waltzforluma? again.
    I called myself that because umm... I just felt like it.
    I meant the video,

    : Super Mario Galaxy - Buoy Base Galaxy (Piano) not Super Mario Galaxy - Buoy Base Galaxy - Take #2 (Piano)

  19. You made the first video private T_T
    I was really looking forward to seeing someone so intense on the piano that they cut their thumb. It sounds epic! Okay, so it mostly sounds funny. But why tempt us?
