Super Mario 3D World has "a lot" of Live Music Tracks

Lead composer for Super Mario 3D World, Mahito Yokota has confirmed that a portion of the game has live tracks.

Super Mario Galaxy was praised by a large number of fans and critics alike for its exquisite orchestral soundtrack that was performed by real instruments, but games like New Super Mario Bros. U have opted for a more traditional midi sound.

For the forthcoming 3D platforming game, Super Mario 3D World, fans will be pleased to know that "there are naturally a lot of tracks performed live" said Yokota in an interview with Destructoid. "We're arranging the music with a big-band feel, taking advantage of a full horn section with trumpets and saxophones."
