1984 studio album by T-Square
Adventures is the eighth studio album by Japanese jazz fusion band T-Square , then known as The Square. It was released on April 1, 1984.[ 1]
Released before T-Square would have some of its members, themselves, go on to write and record music for video games (such as Mario Kart 8 , both the Arc The Lad and Gran Turismo franchises), this album served as inspiration for game composers at the time of its release. It features the track "Sister Marian", which has been noted for its similarities to the Super Mario Bros. theme composed by Koji Kondo for the 1985 video game Super Mario Bros. ;[ 3] in a 2001 interview, Kondo cited T-Square as an influence on his compositions.[ 3] The album also features "Travelers", which inspired Guile's Theme from the 1991 game, Street Fighter II .
