Ambassadors of Funk f/ M.C. Mario - Super Mario Compact Disco is a soundtrack released by Nintendo and Alfa Records. It featured various remakes of Mario songs with characters from the Mario series rapping along with the tunes. There are six Radio Compact Discos in the CD that feature commentary by Mario (with a British accent).
Originally a Japan-exclusive release, the album was eventually given a commercial US release via iTunes and Amazon.com digital download on March 3, 2009.[1] It was later released as a manufacture-on-demand CD, sold exclusively on Amazon.com, on February 2, 2011.[2] Unfortunately, the CD was discontinued (as with all of Amazon's manufacture-on-demand products) on June 4, 2021. The tracks were remastered for the series' 35th anniversary in 2020.[3]

Notes[]
- In "Radio Compact Disco 4", M.C. Mario says "Super Mario World's the biggest place, but at least I rescued Daisy." Princess Daisy was not actually in Super Mario World.
- The lyrics for "Six Golden Coins" describe Super Mario Land 2's plot as saying that Wario has kidnapped Princess Peach, despite the fact that the Princess is not actually in that game.
