"Your princess might be in another castle / But I'm still here"

You're probably gonna hear me say this with the very low ranking songs, but I just don't care for the voices here! It's all going for a very particular late 2000s post-punk feeling that just misses the nostalgia period for me. There's also just something about the mixing that doesn't click with me, with the vocals sounding muddied with the instrumentals in a way that kinda makes it rough to listen to for me.

As far as the characterization goes, it's only very slightly there. You get just enough obvious references to know it's about Bowser, sort of, but what's there is very shallow. Mario wants to save Peach, Bowsette wants to fuck Mario. I mean, sure, that's fine, but part of the trouble with building the song around references is that there's ultimately not much substance to it.

For villainy, I mean, that's also not here, but she does very briefly but specifically reference locking up Peach, and mocks Mario for not getting any attention from her in an attempt to, again, bang him. It's not like evil but it's dickish enough, sure.
