"Behind the Process" is a special section of our "home base website" of these operations which intends to present a fun-loving take of what goes on regarding my Super Nintendo music style procedures from the backend. The reason for the "fun loving" part is because there might be a few "suprises" in the explanation itself, which might include the involvement of "special guest appearances". Who might appear, you ask? God only knows. One thing is for certain, however - the time is right to definitely get this new feature started off right after months and months of planning, aggravation, and numerous... "author/writers blocks"... thanks to many adversarial forces working against me including "personal situations" outside of this endeavor (including, but is not limited to "family issues"), because this very first "Behind the Process" entry goes into more detail about a certain batch of Super Nintendo music style arrangements that I was seriously hoping to get off my music operation's planbook's backlog target list on the backend for years. And after a very long and super aggravating wait, it recently got dealt with at last during the course of February 2017 (specifically, during the course of the Valentines Day holiday). The said batch of arrangements in question were targeting a certain "theme song" originally heard in the Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii console. And I'm sure that we can all agree that for us videogame music fans in general (and quite possibly videogame hobbyists who are into the Super Mario series as a whole), that might be one factor that caused us to possibly be major fans of this one character who nailed their place in the Super Mario family in an instant from the very first game that they had an involvement. More specifically, it's time for us to talk about:

That's right, friends; I am more than excited to talk about this set of Super Nintendo music style arrangements that I've done which were focused on the theme song for Rosalina and her Comet Observatory. 

First of all, I still have to salute composer Mahito Yokota for writing this said part of the score in the first place, because it definitely matches Rosalina herself as being the "Watcher of the Stars", the adoptive mother of the Lumas, along with watching over said locale as well which is the "hub" of the entire Super Mario Galaxy game itself. With that said, as some of you folks might already know, I'm also one of the dedicated fans of Rosalina herself because her personality and charm is nothing short of amazing. If you all haven't checked out the Super Mario Galaxy game itself to begin with, you are seriously missing out on how fantastic this installment in question is on all angles. In fact... *hears a knock on his front door*
...? Hmm... I wonder who could be wanting to visit me as I'm just starting to see about explaining this to you all? Let's see... *opens front door* ...what in the...?!

    M. C.!!!
* Peach, Daisy, Toadette, and Birdo immediately group hug M. C. tightly crying tears of joy.
 M. C., at last! It's been a very long while since we've been able to talk with you!
M. C.: Yeah, but how did you four get word that I was going to do something like this? 
 When we got word that you finally took care of this said song in your backlog! Not to mention that we just had to come by and help you out on this entry to explain the whole story!
 Yeah, M. C., please let us join you on this thing!
 Plus, there's a certain someone wanting to meet you as well!
M. C.: A certain someone, huh...? You four girls mean...?!
* Peach, Daisy, Toadette, and Birdo slowly get close to M. C.'s face doing a playful "Shhhh..!" expression with their fingers *
 It's a secret for now. *winks* Let's wait until later. May we come in and join you?
M. C.: Can't refuse on this one; we all gotta sit down anyway!
* M. C.'s LIVING ROOM - MINUTES LATER; M. C., PEACH, DAISY, TOADETTE, and BIRDO are seated on the couch. M. C.'s in the middle with PEACH on the left, DAISY on the right, TOADETTE on the far left, and BIRDO on the far right. *
M. C.: So yeah, as you all said, it's been a very long while since we've been talking together; I've been dealing with many issues myself, but my enthusiasm for you four still remains strong today.
 So we've noticed. *giggles* And I bet you got excited seeing the oh-so-beautiful Rosalina on the scene?
M. C.: Who wouldn't be? Alongside you four, she's just plain drop dead gorgeous! I mean, even I was excited to see when she started to take action after Mario was able to help Rosalina out on her case with the Comet Observatory to counter a most dangerous threat.
 I wanted to meet her myself after all those events happened with my being trapped in that castle as Bowser took it away to his... galactic stronghold. Thank heavens my castle is back on Earth now safe and sound to this day.
 Little did we all know that after those events, certain friendships were about to get formed. Especially since that same Rosalina wanted to be a part of all the activities that we do here.
 What's even more amazing is how she's able to retain her special abilities and personality as she's down here with us! Everyone baffled as to how Rosalina is able to pull it off.
M. C.: Right. So here's the thing, ladies: the first time I heard that Rosalina would be on the scene and saw pictures of her, I had no dobut that many folks would be having their eyes on her, myself included.
 Add four to that count, M. C.
M. C.: Which I would guess would be all of you?
 Exactly! And we too were hoping you'd see about featuring her "theme"... even we were begging and pleading that you would be making plans to take care of it!
M. C.: Believe me, ladies, no one was more aggravated about the huge roadblocks toward getting this dealt with than me. Blame family problems, as well as other personal circumstances/obligations that got in my way trying to give me a horrendously annoying writer's/creator's/music arranger's block that you wouldn't believe.
    Brutal!
M. C.: Yep, which had me waiting for years to get this said "theme song" related to Rosalina off my music arrangement backlog. Generally speaking, it's one of the most beautiful musical scores ever written to date which matches the extremely beautiful personality of Rosalina herself, as well as the Comet Observatory she holds dear.
As you all already know, there are three "versions" of that theme - mainly to accompany the "status" of Rosalina's Comet Observatory at that time when Mario started to get in hot pursuit after Peach prior to seeing her castle being snatched away by Bowser's forces with Peach in it, taking it to outer space.
 That was a completely horrifying turn of events there; made even worse when even Mario got knocked off himself after he started chasing after the castle and Peach in it!
 Even I would be scared if I were thousands and thousands of feet off the ground in a case like that! And when I heard that our Mario got knocked out after starting that chase, I nearly cried.
M. C.: I believe we all did, Toadette. Being knocked out at thousands of feet above ground is nothing to play around with. Thankfully, Mario found that help which let to his meeting Rosalina who explained further about the case at hand, which even included the "condition" of her Comet Observatory at that time.
Which brings me back to this point: in the case of Rosalina's Comet Observatory itself, this was where the three "versions" came in, which I obviously had to cover because they were all good. But in general, each "version" represented the current condition of Rosalina's Comet Observatory - the "hub" of said installment. The first "version" was denoting the status of Rosalina's place barely hanging on - hence why Rosalina was asking Mario to find those Power Stars from certain galaxies to bring her Observatory back to full strength.
 That means the second "version" you covered was to denote when Mario was halfway there to bring Rosalina's observatory back to full strength.
 And the third and final "version" was when Rosalina had the Power Stars she needed to take action and assist Mario in using that same Observatory to take him to the "stronghold" where I was being held hostage along with my castle.
M. C.: Right. Each version had their unique "challenges", but with some patience, I was able to meet them head on. In general, although I liked all three "versions", I was personally excited when I got around to doing that "third version" of Rosalina's Comet Observatory theme because that meant we were almost at that all important "goal" of the journey.
 Once again, you weren't the only one. In fact, I wanted to be like Rosalina when she did take action after getting the Power Stars she needed to bring the Observatory back to full strength.
 Personally, I wanted all of us to lend our energy to Rosalina too as she was doing her part to help Mario out and open the pathway to where Bowser was hiding in said "stronghold".
 I actually wouldn't want to spoil how Rosalina did it, but I've a feeling we'd all want to do it too along with her when that time came. It was way too good.
 In short, we all wanted to cheer for Rosalina at that time because it felt like we were to channel her energy to relay towards Mario as well... because he really needed that support for what was up ahead afterwards.
M. C.: And that "team spirit" we all gave Mario after that (along with Rosalina's "support" as well) did manage to come through in the end. As stated earlier, it's best for us to not spoil the "details" in how it came to that point, but I believe we can all agree that from that moment on, new bonds were forged, and big time.
 Speaking of which, M. C., I think we need to add yet another new "bond".
M. C.: Hmm... what do you mean, Toadette?
 Here's a hint: it matches that "additional version" you covered when all criteria has been met and Rosalina is giving a "personal thanks" after all conflicts have been resolved.
M. C.: Oh, that one! Yes, I definitely had to do that one as well because now it really got personal in a positive way. At first sight, it seemed that Rosalina was thanking Mario personally from afar for all his help, which is true. However, if my assumptions are correct, she was actually thanking all her supporters at that time as well. Heck, I nearly cried as I was doing my "arrangement process" of this version of the said theme song making sure to match the original song itself because of how "personal" that moment with Rosalina was there.
 Right, that "personal" moment from Rosalina was no accident, because after that, her "following" rose dramatically on every angle. Even we four wanted to meet her as well!
 Which we all did manage to do; our bonds were forged with her after that point and has still been strong to this day. However, M. C., we think Rosalina has another person she wants to personally meet alongside us.
M. C.: You really sure about this, Peach? I mean, Rosalina has a massive amount of supporters and I doubt anyone has ever "ignored" how absolutely charming and beautiful she is! Heck, it got even to the point where the majority were like "Rosalina > all other girls", but I personally have an "equlibirum stance" involving all of you.
 Much appreciated, and so we heard; but we're still not fazed. In fact, I believe with the "strong bonds" we five have here together... we may have to actually do one more addition.
M. C.: One more addition, you say? You mean that...
 That's right, M. C.! Read this note. * hands piece of paper to M. C. *
M. C.: Hmm... let's see what this says... this doesn't have a name, but it reads: "M. C., blessed greetings to you and your friends; there's a surprise visitor waiting to befriend you at the front door and give a very special hug. Go see who it is, and bring your friends with you too; I'll be waiting! *giggles*"

Wha...? You've gotta be kidding me! Is this for real?!
 It sure is, M. C. She is here and waiting for us. Come on!
* All five get up and leave the living room sofa to approach the front door with PEACH and DAISY grabbing M. C.'s arms; PEACH, DAISY, TOADETTE, and BIRDO are excited while M. C. is nearly nervous still wondering what the surprise in question could be as they reach the door. *
M. C.: Really, ladies - it's not that I mind additional guests accompanying us because we've got that same "team enthusiast spirit" in cases like this as we discussed earlier, but receiving a note like this from a "surprise person" has me shaking all over wondering about who could have written it!
 Oh, we think you may also know who that "surprise person" is.
 Yeah! Let's open the door to reveal the "guest" who wants to meet you too!
M. C.: *shaking* I am still nervous because even after all these clues and the discussion we had earlier before this moment, something tells me they can only point to one conclusion... the person you four are talking about... *slowly opens the door and gasps after seeing who the person is waiting to greet him and the four girls*
 *waves hand towards M. C. after the door opens revealing her* Hi there, M. C.! I've been wanting to meet you for a long time!
M. C.: *quickly jumps back in huge shock* ...it IS Rosalina! The same super beautiful Rosalina who's got that beyond enormous following after she helped out in resolving certain events even from outer space! I think I'm going to be crying here because this just turned surreal right now.
 *hugs M. C. in comfort* Yes, and now not only has she come to join us four girls and be friends in our activities together, she wanted to meet you personally too!
M. C.: Me? Really?
 *giggles as she takes M. C.'s hand as Peach still comfort hugs him* Yeah, I heard you're a fan of me as well, M. C., along with hearing from the other girls here that you finally got this music related to me off your backlog to feature on Valentine's Day. Thanks for not giving up on getting it done. *joins Peach in the "comfort hug" toward M. C.*
M. C.: *blushes* My gosh, ladies, you're making me blush big time! I've always been a dedicated fan of you all; and it's always been a known fact that if there's any thing that involves you girls, chances are it's going to possibly be added to my planbook for me to take care of in due time.
These music targets which feature you, Rosalina, were no exception because alongside how super beautiful you were back then (and still are now) - all versions of the said "theme" here related to you were beyond outstanding.
 Much appreciated; I'm just grateful that like all the Lumas that care so much about me, you and everyone else here are the same. Along with what was needed to help Mario resolve that situation with my Comet Observatory, you all played a part in it as well.
M. C.: Well, Rosalina, although I was honored to do "the process" featuring all these versions of the said theme, I still advise everyone to still check out the "original sources" as well. Regardless, this almost made me tear up when all of this was said and done at last after all these years, and just in time for Valentine's Day of this year too.
 *joins Peach and Rosalina in the "comfort hug" with an arm around M. C.* Now all that's missing in this celebration is a little "finishing touch" to seal these new bonds. *winks at M. C.*
M. C.: Huh...? Wait, what do you mean by that?
 Well, for one thing, as you can tell, Rosalina is one of us now too. She's more than qualified for this special group, as we said. There's no way we all can deny how uniquely special Rosalina is, hence why this meet up along with her wanting to see you.
 Plus, now that we've all helped her out regarding said matters, it just makes this moment even better now that Rosalina is with us.
 So now we have us five special girls and one "special supporter" - which totals six in this gathering... how do we seal this?
 I believe I know... it's like that "special event" involving me at the very end regarding those events after everything got back to normal here on Earth and in space. Only that regarding this case focusing on what we're talking about here... *approaches M. C. slowly and takes both his hands* ...needs a moment like this. *gives M. C. an "embrace hug"*
 *giggles* Like Rosalina's "personal thanks" moment, but even better! *joins in the embrace group hug, followed by Daisy, Toadette, and Birdo*
 Especially since we're all celebrating now that this said "featured theme song" for Rosalina has finally been done.
M. C.: You girls are making me cry again; this even has me thinking of my "arrangement" of the "personal thanks from Rosalina" as well as the original song itself once again to close out this moment! Thanks to you all again for being the best "encoragement factors" for me here; especially you, Rosalina.
 Anything to keep these strong bonds between us intact, M. C.!
 Made even better by Rosalina herself, our newest best friend!
===========================================================================
So, as you can tell by that "dialogue" above, before Rosalina "showed up" to see me and even before the rest of the Mario females consistently begged and pleaded for me to do this thing featuring Rosalina's "Comet Observatory" theme music, repeating what I stated earlier: this music in question (all versions that I have done Super Nintendo music style arrangements so far) was on my radar for years ever since I began doing said covers targeting the Super Mario Galaxy score (first game), and it was not just because I was a dedicated fan of Rosalina when I saw her debut in the installment. But with all the "fun" aside, I still had to step out for a moment to still be serious on this one thing to share with you all - and it is to once again give my sincere thanks to lead composer Mahito Yokota for writing this theme song itself to match Rosalina (along with giving a shout out to him for writing the majority of the entire musical score for Super Mario Galaxy itself). And as I also stated earlier in the same dialogue, even though I was honored to do my Super Nintendo music style arrangements of these four "versions" of Rosalina's theme (using the "Disney's Magicial Quest 1 (The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse)" set, as developed and published by Capcom/Disney), I highly advise you all to check out the original version of said songs themsevles as performed by the Mario Galaxy Orchestra to find out how extremely beautiful these songs in question sound (the featured songs themselves here in question are even a part of the game's actual official soundtrack that got released back in 2008).
And with that, it's time for yours truly to close this very first "Behind the Process" entry out; however, I can tell you all that this obviously will not be my last. There are so many other things that I look forward to sharing with you all on future entires in this section as the month forge ahead. As for what I'll be targeting next after this... well, that is a secret.. I can't really disclose anything further than that, you know! But yeah, I need to get going for sure... * gets sneak attacked from behind via a squeeze hug from Peach; looks behind to see DAISY, ROSALINA, TOADETTE, and BIRDO behind her waving at him * ...what in the... how in the world did you girls...?!
 * giggles * We were wondering where you ran off to! And besides, you really thought you could finish this off by yourself?
 * does a playful "Boooo!" expression toward M. C. as she glomps him * This too needs extra love from all of us just because of how special this moment is! * giggles *
 Plus, seeing that it's been so long that we all haven't conversed with you or our friends out there, we've a perfect opportunity here!
 It's like a reunion after a very long time; only now, we've got our Rosalina here!
 So glad to be here with you all and our friends out there, * does magical posing with her wand * Rosalina, watcher of the Stars, ready to go!
M. C.: Amazing that our bonds and energy haven't changed after all this time; only that we've got Rosalina as the newest addition. This has gotten exciting already on all angles, that's for certain.
 We've just got one small favor to ask, M. C.
M. C.: Oh? What would that be, Peach?
 Can we also be your "lead companions" on future entries for future entries like this? We heard you said there may be "special guests" down the road, but we five girls want to be a part of this process too on each one.
M. C.: Oh, I don't see why not; for example, there may be one entry in the works down the road that may definitely involve someone to be with us explaining another certain "set" of songs from a certain game. But once again...
ALL FIVE GIRLS: * winks toward M. C. * "Top secret", right?
M. C.: My gosh, you five are still ahead of the game! Looks like you really want to be involved in this too.
 We do! Anything to reach out and assist our biggest fan and support our friends out there along the way!
M. C.: But seriously, everyone; it's time to finish this here - if we don't, we'll never get any rest for the weeks and months ahead related to these operations! There are so many exciting things happening down the road, and I want to make sure my energy level is still strong to get ready for them.
 I think we need to plan more get togethers like this one, but that's another story entirely.
M. C.: I doubt you're the only one thinking that, Daisy; but still, we gotta go. Until next time, all you faithful friends out there...
ALL: Over and out! Bye! * all wave towards audience, with Peach blowing her trademark kiss toward the audience as well *
