It's not just porting over melodies from a game to a movie. It has a transcendent nature it is not limited by the polyphony you have on an eight-bit thing. It's really eclectic, but at the same time, the goal was that it would work on a level that a score like E.T. I'll be playing the drums, and all of a sudden the tom fill is just eight-bit tom fills. It's orchestral, it's got choir, and it's got bands, it's got Italian instruments, accordions, live drums, mandolins, and whistling human voices. The score received critical acclaim from critics, who praised its production and Tyler's use of Kondo's themes. It will be also released in CD, vinyl and cassettes via iam8bit.

The album was released on Apby Back Lot Music, two days after the film. The album featured most of Tyler's original score along with two songs for the film, which includes 'Peaches' performed by Jack Black as Bowser, released as a digital single. and sound mixing happened at Skywalker Sound in California. Recording sessions for the film began on October 2022 at the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros.

According to Tyler, he wanted to 'incorporate the music that I heard in that 8-bit form and along the way bring it into the world of a big epic, emotional film score.' This resulted in partly original music that referenced several leitmotifs from various Mario games as well as themes from Donkey Kong. The original score for the film is composed by Brian Tyler, who incorporated and remixed the original themes from longtime Mario composer Koji Kondo under his collaboration. Movie (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2023 film of the same name, based on Nintendo's Mario video game franchise.
