Bowser’s Keep (or Bowser’s Castle which is apparently the official name of this track) has always been one of my favorite Super Mario RPG songs. Sure, it’s mostly an arrangement of Fight Against Koopa, but it adds such a dramatic spin on it that it’s always felt like an entirely different song. In fact, I didn’t notice the whole arrangement matter till much later.

A fairly straightforward arrangement here. The biggest changes being the doubling the length of the section at 00:25, and a bit of a changeup for the guitar solo section.

Also yes, this is technically Bowser’s Keep (Second Time), but the (First Time) version is literally an 11 second loop (which is also the beginning of Second Time). 🤪
