OST Focus – True Shadow

Today on OST focus we have a look at True Shadow, another tune from Super Mario: Vanishing Existence, the animated series created by VanishingSVST. True Shadow is the theme of the main antagonist’s subordinate, Shadow Entity, who was created by Nonexistence using the DNA of Mario. He also gained the ability to create Shadows from DNA, which are going to appear throughout the series trying to cross the heroes’ plans.

The song’s first appearance was in the first episode of Super Mario: Vanishing Existence. It played only for a few seconds, when Shadow Entity was created, so I didn’t use a part from the actual episode this time. Instead, the series’ creator VanishingSVST made an animation of Shadow Entity fighting Mario just for this video, so you can see what he’s capable of, as well as some nice artwork! This villain is going to play a major role in the future episodes, that much is certain…which means that you’ll probably hear this tune more often~

Interestingly, that song is quite new. Nonexistence Battle 1 is about 3 years older than True Shadow, yet both appear in the first episode. How is this possible? In short, the episodes I’m talking about (which you can find on the OST page) are remakes, made to make things easier to understand. I still think it’s pretty complicated though~

Next time on OST focus: Nonexistence Battle 2! Until next Sunday I want to finish the Metroid/Touhou crossover mix, I already might quite some changes, so it also features Super Metroid’s Brinstar Vegetation Area. I hope you’re hyped for that one!
