Title: Tough Guy Showtime
Game: Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story
Composer: Yoko Shimamura
Arranger: Jayden Andrews
Featuring: Jayden Andrews (Bass)

Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story is a roleplaying game on the Nintendo DS. The antagonist of the game, a bizarre mad scientist named Fawful, is plotting a plan to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Fawful tricks Bowser, the archnemesis of the Mario Brothers, into eating a “Vacuum Shroom” as part of this plan. After consuming the “Vacuum Shroom,” Bowser gains the ability to inhale things and is sent into a mindless craze. During his rampage, Bowser unknowingly inhales Mario and Luigi into his body, shrinking them down to a microscopic size in the process. From here, the Mario Brothers must learn to work together with Bowser from inside of his body in order to save the Mushroom Kingdom from Fawful. “Tough Guy’s Showtime” is a dynamic suite of two enemy boss themes. Its intense, high energy rhythms are sure to please.
