Composer Yasunori Mitsuda 'bitter' over almost 200 songs scrapped from Mario Party

'Mario Party' composer Yasunori Mitsuda has claimed almost 200 songs were scrapped from the game's soundtrack.

The Japanese producer has admitted he has a "bitter memory" of working on the music for the party video game, as he and director Kenji Kikuchi had a miscommunication over the style of music he wanted to include.

In a roughly translated tweet, he said: "Mario Party was my first freelance gig; the music director told me they wanted "jazz" but all of my songs got rejected—when I caved and asked for pointers, I learned he specifically wanted "big band jazz", so I have the bitter memory of being like, "seriously?! (sic)"

He went on: "thanks(?) to them, I set a record for scrapped songs—almost 200—that I've yet to break. (sic)"

'Mario Party' and 'Mario Party 2' have just landed on the Nintendo Switch.
