Soundtrack
American composer Thomas Newman was in charge of the musical direction, Koji Kondo, who had scored for many games in the Super Mario franchise, acted as a mentor during the score, telling Newman, to do what he did in Finding Nemo and play with the audience's emotions. Reminding him that Mario is a character, who looks cute, but is cool instead of cute, and that the soundtrack should remind the audience that he's not cute.
