The remake. While I do think it pushed the art too far in the direction of "generic mario", there are so many other things better about the remake:

  • updated music is fantastic
  • lots of QoL improvements, like better item management and mechanics that make battles go faster
  • Updated localization, mostly for the better (though I do miss Mallow telling Mario "who do you think you are, Bruce Lee!?")

Yeah, the musoc isndefnitely an improvement. The original had short tracks, and while the remake doesn't add any new sections or anything, it commonpy doubles the length by adding instrumental variations. A real treat for Shimomura fans

Worth mentioning that the remaoe has the original tracks too, so you can get a good feel for both
