How the Music Comes Together in Mario Maker

With Koji Kondo being the sound director and main composer for Mario Maker, how will the music come together?

In an interview, Kondo noted how there'll be different music in the game's two modes - creation and playthrough, and one of the goals was "the seamless transition of music between those two modes." Kondo wants to ensure that "the music sounds fresh and new so the players never get tired of hearing it," by experimenting with different elements of the tracks.

He revealed that even the sound effects that are heard when placing tiles are "pitched to match the music playing at that time," changing depending on the song being played.

With music on the mind, will Mario Maker also have a music creator? Quite simply, "no. The sound editor is not designed to allow players to create their own original music, simply because this is a game about creating Mario levels to play through, not a music creator."
