That famous Mario theme can be found everywhere - it's featured in plenty of Mario games, it's all over the internet, and it's usually tucked away at the back of our minds refusing to leave us in peace from its super-catchy melody - but we never would have expected to find it inside Dino Crisis 2.
Yes, released on the PlayStation by Capcom back in the year 2000, Dino Crisis 2 was the sequel to the hugely popular - at least in our household - Dino Crisis. The game unsurprisingly centres around a grizzly collection of dinosaurs who'd love nothing more than to rip your face off, so when data miner @RSolidSnake11 shared the fact that a version of the Mario theme exists within the game's files, we couldn't quite believe it.
You can hear the whole thing below. The track was found within a trial version of Dino Crisis 2 and while we have absolutely no idea what it's doing there, it's possible that it served as some sort of test audio for the game's developers.
It's certainly a strange remix of the classic tune, although at least that would have added to the creepy dino vibes if it had been used in the full game.
How very strange.

sounds it is a song being played backwards
This has to be the most random thing I've read and heard in a good long while...
...this is just the right amount of wrong to be frustrating...
Yoshi Crisis?

Yoshi's Safari.
Sue them!!!!! And sue them now!!!!
Jesus, I can see where they are coming from but I expected a full song. This isn't even enough to call a parody, the first what, 2 lines?
Considering Nintendo and Sony were both working on the PlayStation together, this is only half-surprising. Mostly because it's a Capcom game rather than a Sony/Nintendo game for the console.
It kind of sounds like an Atari 2600 remix of part of the Mario theme.

Why would we sue over test music
An HD remastered collection of all 3 Dino Crisis games for Switch would be nice. I had play only the first one as I never got the chance to try the other two. With the success of Turok and Monster Hunter it goes to show that dinosaur related games are still in demand so bringing more dino goodies are never a bad thing.
Reading the "do do do do-do do" description are going to make readers think you are talking about the Super Mario World theme or the original Super Mario Bros. theme.
Pretty cool. That’s the music that should be played during every video game related creepypasta reading.
I like the fact it's got an extra like 1 over 8 bar... sounds weird.
Nintendo claim incoming!
