Good ole Alex kidd really got overshadowed by Mario in popularity, but nevertheless his first adventure in "Miracle World" still stands as an innovative and well-crafted platformer. This remix takes the title theme and basically schnazzes it up a bit, with nicer instruments and processing, using a program for Macintosh called "VocalWriter" . . big thanks to Joe Redifer for this one.
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the Of course, this just reminds us that we need more Alex Kidd. On the
site, in our mp3 players, on our videogame consoles and in our
lives in general. Although, maybe not this track
specifically.
The strings are the only thing that save this. That, and the obvious nostalgia factor. Things get somewhat muddled, and the entire thing creaks with age, but bleh. At the very least it is good soundtrack material for reminiscing about the old days when this mix was considered 'cutting edge?'.

I enjoy this track. For some reason, it makes me think of the kind
of thing I might hear on a Mexican kids show that I happen to have
on on a Saturday morning, possibly while a little hung over.

This bring back memories of pure fustration from what i got out of
the game. It seems close to the original source but over all its
okay.

This is so happy it's sickening. Bleh.
That being said, the fact that I can't stand it doesn't mean it's bad. A VERY happy setting, drums that drive the mix (they do get a bit repetative), and some decent strings. Overall, the sounds are old, and the melody's too much for me, but at the time it was probably a pretty decent mix.

Can't say i'm really a fan, but it's super old, so we'll chalk
another mix up to the constantly improving standards of the
site.
The strings in the middle are actually pretty nice, wish there was more of that.

If it wasn't for the judges, this is the kind of music we'd have
crawling all over the site. :)

Er, well.. this is an old mix, so you shouldn't be expecting much.
Problem is, this song is like crack- you shouldn't like it, but
it's so addictive. And I hate that percussion that Joe Redifer used
in ALL his mixes.
So yeah, not exactly the best, but what were you expecting?

Man, it startled me. I wasn't expecting something so friggin'
happy. Aaaahh.... errr, eeesh.... damn, that's happy. It kinda
hurts my negativity. Errrr.... make it stop. I mean, I just see
balloons and balloons. I hate the circus. Clowns scare the crap out
of me. Ferris wheel thrice 'round, please. No.

Very catchy and bubbly. It does sound a lot like the original with
better instruments (as was stated). I can see a group of kids
running around a playground as this song starts. It's like
something right out of Kids Incorporated or The Mickey Mouse Club
from the late 80's.
My only complaint? It should be longer. Around 2:30 or so. I would love to get an extended version of this.

I agree with mDuo13 on all accounts. Not really comparable to most
songs done today, but a reference point in remixing history. The
title's definitely fitting, at any rate.

This mix reminds me a little too much of the Gold Saucer from
FF7... it's not quite as loud and seizure-inducing as that tune,
but the feel is kinda similar. This is from WAAAAAAAAAY back when,
in the days of yore, so its quality can't really measure up to the
standards these days; the software (I'm not trying to diss
vocalwriter, really!) just wasn't the same then. This mix won't
dazzle and it won't astound, but it's not to bad, a fairly solid
piece of OCR history. Give it a try.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World 'Sugar High'
This was my first ReMix submitted to this fantastic site. I saw that DJP was a Sega fanboy (as am I) so I figured he'd take quick notice to this.... and he did! He quickly posted it and sent me a check for $1,000, which I feel that everyone should do. :) OK so he didn't do that, but he titled it "VocalWriter" since I mentioned that was the program I used to create this mix. This is a decent mix, I think. It shouldn't blow you away and you shouldn't run away screaming, either. I added a string section towards the middle to change things up a bit, otherwise it it the main Alex Kidd melody with far superior instruments than those used in the Sega Master System and Sega Genesis versions of the game.
