The artist should be considered The University of Toronto 10 O'Clock Big Band, but The Runaway Five will get an associated credit since several members were involved - LT

This is the only recording I have of this arrangement and it may have some clipping, etc. It's a pretty decent recording for a handheld recorder so hopefully it suffices. Also, there was some quality loss as I tried to make it fit the size req for submissions. The past few submissions have been denied based on a limited amount of source track present. Hopefully this fits the req. It's a little hard to recognize but the intro is straight from the source track as well (the second half of the melody). I also added a shout chorus featuring a bunch of other Mario melodies. I hope you all like it! A four horn arrangement of this piece can be found on our myspace as well!

Very close to direct posting this one, but figured depending on how you count it, it could be just under 50%. Here's my breakdown:
0:00-1:40 - melodies and chords
1:45-2:25 - chords
2:27-2:47 - original chords (not counting this)
2:47-3:22 - chords
4:35-4:38 - ref
4:40-4:41 - ref
4:44-4:46 - ref
4:51-5:04 - ref (counting the silence - it's part of the song!)
5:08-6:28 - melodies and chords
Just counting the first and last sections and the references puts this at 199 seconds / 389 seconds (chopping off the last 5 seconds of silence) = 51.2%. Giving them credit for the chords puts it well over the line.
I loved the job they did with this and it's my favorite Runaway Five piece yet. The key changes in the B-section were risky but interesting, and the laidback bar atmosphere of the recording adds mucho charm. Gotta love the guy ordering something halfway through the song. Awesome work, you all!
YES
