Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope - Yoko Shimomura, Grant Kirkhope & Gareth Coker [VINYL]

The three talents were tactically deployed across the score by audio director Romain Brillaud, bringing different orchestral and electronic sensibilities to the game. Kirkhope retained his 'friendly-epic' sound from Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and was assigned the narrative and character elements of the sequel's soundtrack. Nothing can rouse the troops quite like Shimomura-san's stirring piano and orchestral style, and she typically wrote Sparks of Hope's battle cues. Coker helped bring new colours and emotions to specific settings in the game as well as some boss fights, touching on styles including French impressionism to enrich the score. The whole OST is remarkably cohesive, aided by joint orchestral recording sessions that took place in Tokyo, Japan.
