Episode #368 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. This week on the show, Bryan and Bedroth from RPGera return to a theme we haven't done in almost two years, but will now be doing once a year... Forever! This time around, the guys look at Bowser's Castle and how the music has evolved over 40 years of different entries. Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or whatever you want! Special thanks to our Executive Producers: Jexak, Xancu, & Jeff.
