The 'Succession' theme song recreated in 'Mario Paint' is simply delightful

Cousin Greg would love.

If you're a Succession fan, you probably know what it's like to have Nicholas Britell's perfect theme song stuck in your head for hours on end. Well, here's a fun new version to get lodged in there.

The delightful track was created by writer and director Adam Catino, who shred it on Twitter on Thursday. He made it using a program called Advanced Mario Sequencer, which is basically a recreated version of the 8-bit composer feature in the SNES game Mario Paint.

The result is a really fun, chiptune-y song that every character in Succession would absolutely hate. Well, maybe not Greg. Do we think he plays video games?

If you want to hear more Mario Paint arrangements, there are plenty on YouTube. We're particularly fond of this version of Toto's "Africa."
