So here’s a bit of a wacky one for ya: the Doopliss Battle theme from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

This is one of the most requested Paper Mario songs, and I felt, with Doopliss being a ghost and all, it would fit in perfectly for our week of Halloween madness.

You may have noticed I slowed this song down a little bit. Or DID I?

Ok so I didn’t, I actually sped it up. When I first started working on it, I messed around with it closer to the original tempo, but wasn’t really feeling it. I thought I’d try out at a more upbeat, fast pace, and ended up liking it a lot.

Doopliss’s battle theme (officially titled ‘Fight Against Mario… No, Doopliss’) is on the shorter side, so midway in, I also threw in an arrangement of the Doopliss encounter theme (officially titled ‘It’s-a Me! No, it’s Doopliss’) just mix things up a bit.

I wonder what the next most-requested Paper Mario song is now? I gotta check…
