The Super Nintendo had plenty of amazing games that had equally fantastic soundtracks. That said, cartridge sizes were limited, which meant space had to be saved where possible. That often mean going with lower-quality sound samples.

Super Nintendo superfans weren't happy with that, so they've been doing some datamining on classic SNES games to see if they could provide a better audio experience. With Super Mario World, the dataminers discovered the exact samples that were used in the game, and then rebuilt the very same songs using the full-quality samples. You can hear all of those tunes in the playlist above!
