This mix has a good feel to it. The mood is set well, however I think there is much room for improvement. More elaborate instrumentation and execution would have made this an amazing piece. As of now, it's a great start.

Gah, those notes at 1:38! Were you drunk? Sometimes dissonance can be quite dramatic, but this just screeches everything to a halt, and makes you go W.T.F.

I love the mood, ya got talent, dude. Keep at it.

Totally agree with the note problem stated above, but also really like it. I hated this theme for the origional game, but now you've transformed it into something I enjoy without changing the overall feel of the piece. If the SNES had more power to render more realistic music, this is what the theme should have been.

It's nice overall, but I'm not really sure about the ending. It just sort of stops. I'd have gone with a fade-out myself.

I really like the strings in the background...it backs up the piano really well. And as stated above, the song kind of just ends, which is my only beef with the song. Other than that, it's a great song and is going in the favorites playlist. :D

Definitely a big difference/improvement from the previous version...I like the "family time" movie sound you've got going there.

Also, that's gotta be a world record for the number of times someone's typed "Newman" in a single paragraph.

As for 1:38, in any other context I would find it perfectly acceptable. However, in this case, it's right in the middle of three minutes of saccharine harmonies. Sticking something like that in the arrangement just makes it sound completely random and awkward. There's nothing to lead up to it, and nothing to follow it up. It's as if he's pretending it never happened. Of course, if this actually were a movie score, and there was an appropriate visual cue to accompany the anomaly, then it'd be understandable.

But otherwise, I'll have to agree with the "drunk harpist" theory.

This has so much beautiful innocence to it. I always like when remixes capture the heart of the song they remix. Very pretty and light. I like it.

The harp has a strongly clashing note around 1:38, but that is probably my only complaint.

Great mix; I wouldn't say it captures the original qualities, because it changes the mood. The flow is different, the rhythm is completely different and even goes into weird time signatures and stuff... but overall very pleasant little thing here.

Werid ending choice, straight up octaves...

I can't seem to give it above a 7.5/10 though. Beautiful source, good take, but nothing sensational.
