Super Mario World 'Super Mario's Sleigh Ride'

Sorry about not getting to the late Christmas Eve mixes earlier :) I've been with my family and playing with all of my new stuff. Now, to the ReMix - What can I say? It's just some REALLY well done live video game music action :) It's really fun to listen to to. The OneUp Mushrooms cover several Super Mario World tunes here. It's a must download :) Super highly recommended. I respect these guys a whole lot. I've always dreamed of playing live video game music with some buds, and these guys fulfilled my dream, but for themselves. It's all worth it, though!

All I can say is that this is awesome coverage and an overall great medley. A definite download. Btw, also check out their "Booster Tower" cover on their site...it's some great stuff. I can't wait to see more of the One Up Mushrooms!

This remix is so hot, i love it love it love it. I like how they found the similarities with the game and the real xmas music. And they play so well, you almost think its not a game remix anymore, but a XMAS remix hehe :)

But then thats the problem. Xmas remixs get less play time when the holiday season is gone. I wonder if it will be true for this medley. So far, I doubt it.

This is a great jazz piece. I adore this ReMix, and even a couple of my friends who don't normally listen to game music found interest. The themes are so well integrated, you would think the Christmas carols are supposed to sound like Mario themes and vice versa. I also would like to note their very smooth playing. This is definitely one of my favourites and worth the download time.

Mission Accomplished.

Thank you so much for all of your praise.

"Was It green?

Oh! It was so green!

Wait! What kind of green?

Oh! a christmas green..."

--There are three levels of meaning to this little riddle. Most people will probably only uncover two at the most.

I believe someone mentioned the way the Xmas and SMW music blends together? I love that!

[Kamikaze Noodle]

I never even saw the similarity, but after listening to this mix, I can't help but wonder if Koji Kondo was thinking Christmas when he wrote his stuff. I mean, it isn't just the different sections of the song playing that blend nicely, but the best is when a part of a SMW song will actually play harmony to a Christmas song. Crazy, I tell you.

I don't know why, but for some odd reasons unknown, this song wouldn't download over the past few days. It finally downloaded today, and now I'm happy. :)

This song is pretty interesting. When the song's description mentioned it was for Christmas, I was expecting a calm, ambient "jingly-bells" kind of song (like the DKC ReMix ChristmasCave or something like that). Instead, it seemed a little more like Spring time than it was Winter. It was faster with a more jazz/orchestral-type of attitude and beat, and hardly any bell sounds whatsoever. It kinda let my hopes down a bit, but this song is still pretty fun to listen to. I also like the way the Christmas carols blend in almost-so-perfectly with the ReMix. Very clever.

May I say this is my most favorite remix I have heard in a long time.
