Super Mario Bros.

Hey, now this is neat . . . I've always loved the underground theme from the original Super Mario Borthers. Using those first siz simple notes, the game instantly establishes a dark and ominous mood quite different from the boisterous above-ground tunage. Well, Franz Keller has gone and made a hip-hop ReMix of this bgm, and it is SWEET. Very well done. Good enough, in fact, to be in the next Super Mario, whenever it comes out :) I could just imagine 'Gangsta Mario' crusin' the streets with 'Pimpin' Luigi' blasting this song from their retrofitted lowrider ^^

Hard to believe this was made 9 years ago. Very simple mix that would work really well as the backing track for a hiphop/rap track. I didn't have a problem with the snare. The transition into the gentle four on the floor section was interesting. I didn't really like the abrupt ending and would have liked to have heard more happen and for a little more growth in the track, but on the whole, simple isn't a bad thing.

I understand what people are saying about the stabbing snare. Ouch. It's like each snare hit is bustin a cap in my ears. ;_; Either the rest of the track needs to come up, or it needs to come down. As far as the rest of the track, the synth is pretty cool and subterranean, but a little delay-heavy, and the B section has a cool changeup from the original. I think a non-delayed sub bass would help anchor the track a bit more, and something more going on in the high end besides some occasional chimes and that drive-by snare would fill things out. Another minute of some additional material would be nice as well.

I would, too, if I had a car :wink:
That piece really rocks. It's just a bit too short...

The underground theme has always been my favorite song from SMB. It's so catchy! 8) Anyway, I love that song, and I love hip-hop. This ReMix pulls them both off great. I really like that scratch at the beginning, too, it really sets the mood for the rest of the song. I'd give it a 9/10.

I'm sad that this has to be my first post here, but it has to be said.
Is it just me, or does the "whoo-cahh" percussion sound like the one used in [b]Baby Got Back[/b] by [i]Sir Mix-a-Lot?[/i] Whatever it is, it's too loud for me, and overused. Funny though. Keep on rollin'!

I might be the only one thinkin this but, I don't like one bit. It hurtz mia ears too much for me to even listen to it in da first place. I liked the original way better then this thingy. Maybe cuz the original dosen't hurt me like the sound of bees stinging me in the ear over and over again. Dunno, not dissin the artist or anything. Just think that he coulda tried something less painful.

This song only got five reviews?
Anything that can turn SMB music into something so ominous and makes you see Mario and Luigi being in the Mafia is l33t in my book.
Seriously, the song rocks. One of my favorites, easy.

I like this alot! I have no idea in hell what you used to create that sound, but i love it whatever it is. It creates a whole mood. And the disc scratch in the bckrnd really gives you a punk kind of feeling that lets you know this thing is kick ass. Nice job.

Anyways, a nice slow, to the point, remix. I like it. ;)

Perfect for blasting out of your windows down crowded streets. The reactions that I get from people are amazing, you should all try it.

Super Mario Bros. 'Da Pipes'
Franz Keller gives us a slowed down dark rendition of the Super Mario Bros. trade mark tune. Instantly the drums (the claps of which are extremely wide might I add) remind me of some kind of hip-hop beat, like Nelly's stuff (but in a good way). An analogish bass synth with delay plays the main melody, often interrupted by a variety of vinyl, beep, voice and break samples which help the main beat do it's job. Sadly, nothing much changes in the mix apart from what's already stated. I think if this mix was extended and incorporated more elements it would have been a lot better. Still, it's very well mixed, and I do like the overall sound of things. Nice job.
