Excellent mix here.

Dr. Fruitcake sticks to a strong tropical theme here, while keeping the origninal tracks completely intact. Anyone who's ever played a mario game will be easily be able to identify at least some of the themes. The sound quality is high also [from what I could tell, anyway, I'm deaf in the left ear]. The song hardly ever drops off from its energetic pace.


95%


EDIT: Woohoo, first mix review!

I think I saw this one in WIP form at some point, and it wasn't too impressive then. But let's have a look...
*downloads*
hmm... I have a midi of this from vgmusic.com. It's an okay remix, but not the best. I'd probably like this more if some of the soundfonts didn't sounds so much like my computer's GM sounds.
Just my opinion though.

I grabbed this from VGMix the other day, and it blew my socks off. Maybe it was because I was in the Caribbean mindset after playing Tropico all day, but this is one hell of a toe tapper.

Only a couple of minor things that would keep me from giving this 100% in an instant - first off, I felt several of the songs used in the medley could've been given more play time. The Yoshi's Story bits at the end, for instance, would benefit from being a bit longer - I think you'll be hard-pressed to find someone that doesn't like Kondo's beautiful Yoshi theme.

Listening through it again while I write this, the bit from Mario 64's water levels right before you go into Yoshi's Story deserved at least another bar or so too.

On the technical side of things, I have nothing to complain about. No clipping, crackling, or dissonant notes that my ears felt like mentioning to me.

Keep up the good work, man. I'd love to see more of this with something like the Mario 2 theme, or the Mario 64 credits.

Very nice, very nice indeed. I love the transition between the different songs...and the steel drums? Excellent. If I had a rating system of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, I'd give it an 8! (Hey, there's ALWAYS room for improvement, but it's still really great!)

Oh wow. I absolutely love this mix.

It's very polished, fluent, and has an interesting mix of melodies.

Nice work!

NICE WORK!

I suppose all of the featured Koji Kondo's works are absolutely meant to sound THAT way, because we all know his tendency towards bright latin-influenced compositions and arrangements... :)

9/10
