As requested by ElleRokudo, here's the second movement of Haydn's Surprise Symphony with the Super Mario 64 soundfont.
Here is where the symphony's nickname came from, but I wouldn't dare spoil it for those who haven't heard this piece.
All I'll say is that this movement consists of a Theme and Variations. One of Haydn's most common practices was grabbing a simple, seemingly unimpressive theme and revealing later its hidden potential, and here we have a textbook example of this.
Symphony No. 94 in G major "Surprise"
II. Andante
Composer: Joseph Haydn
Soundfont: Super Mario 64
