This is a great mix -- the two themes integrate very well, and the live instruments (especially such a well-played flute!) are always nice. My biggest complaint is that there is a gap between the quality of the flute + guitar (great) and the drums -- that being said, since the drums aren't ever spotlighted this isn't a big deal.

Amy, are there any melodic instruments you don't play? :p

Edit: Forgot to mention just how awesome the guitar entrance is at 0:37 is -- nice work!

Nice and solid with a great gradual build up. The flute and guitar really work well together and play off each other nicely. I would have loved to hear a couple accented notes in the upper register on the flute, though. Great stuff!

Mmmm, old-skool remix style. This is packed full of nostalgia for me both because I played Mario Kart *almost* as much as I played Secret of Mana as a kid (still do on occasion), and because these sort of clean simple remixes are the types of songs that dominated the scene when I first started finding VGmixes through Napster.

Nice work Amy, especially on the guitar!

Excellent stuff. Love your flute and guitar playing, especially the latter. The reverb you put on the guitars sounds so awesome. Like the tropical vibe of the remix, which obviously fits Koopa Beach like a glove. The Powerful Mario/Starman theme is integrated really well, too.

I'm not sure if this was the intention, but nice combination of Nova elements from the Super Mario World Special Zone.

I love what you've done to this, except I would have preferred a nylon guitar over a steel stringed one. Tempo could also have been higher.
