Damn - this came out of nowhere from a brand new ReMixer by the name of 'Aneurysm' who has a very . . . shall we say 'interesting' website. I was really surprised that this was our first SMW mix - we've had a couple Yoshi's Island / SMW2 Mixes but nothing from the first opus. Man, this was a damn great game, still one of my top five platformers. Set a really high standard for the SNES though, which few other platformers lived up to. This Mix has phat beats, awesome and seamless transitions, really gnarled samples, and covers a LOT of the different themes from this game. It sets an excellent standard for SMW ReMixes, and also loops really nicely. I'm pretty damn impressed - the tempo, and the way things are just done in general, is very innovative, with tons of attention to detail, DSP, intonation. Great stuff, worth every nanosecond of the download.
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the Samples aren't great, but the beats are really nice. For being as
old school as it is, it has a lot of charm.

I would have to say the best sounding part (to me at least) was the
forest of illusion beat. It's so creepy sounding. I would have to
say overall I enjoy the first half more than the second. I starts
so dark but seems to lose it a bit towards the end.:<

there are some pretty terrible samples here and the changeups are
awkward
but it's so groovy
would be so much better if it wasn't a medley and just stuck with the castle theme and maybe integrated the forest song better
love the ep chords at 0:35

This is probably the best castle remix I've heard. I like the
change at the end. Keep up the good work.

I'm really loving that crazy drum beat. That's the thing which
makes this remix dirrefent and outstanding. The sound effects from
the game were great! And I really loved the part when all that
heavy and dark feeling morphed into "Overworld"-theme...

This song is ORSOME!! Sounds like something you'd breakdance to in
the beginning or something but this is amongst my favorites if not
my favorite Mario remix.

The best SMW mix I've heard ever. The drums and the background
winds make this song a work of art. If the quality was better then
that would be even better!

HECK yes!
Don't know why I haven't already reviewed this but I just love this song!
Aneurysm's taken the best songs from the game and molded them together to create this exciting work of art
the song is packed with variety of beats and instruments its great
that intro riff is just so interesting, i remember it from the game but it sounds 20 thousand times better here for some reason
theres a cool little pick up at 0:08
cool little pause effect thingermajiggers there at 0:35 but it jumps to the forest part too soon, or the transition could have been better
from 1:05-1:22 its great how he keeps the this part moving by adding rhythm such as at 1:14
at 1:20 everything quiets down and then it sounds like someone got hit on the head with a mallot and you can see the stars
at 1:29 the beat comes back in with some mario sounds, i especially like the spring sound and how aneurysm uses the warp pipe sound as a pickup to 1:38
1:38, love the synth instrument here and i love the drums here
1:46, nice heavy chord thingi there
1:49 and 1:58, short but excellent drums clips there
2:28, all the instruments back off for that lil riff thing, the drum clips here are just effin terrific especially at 3:32
this song is great but like the above guy, i have a problem with the ending
i like the instruments that sound like theyre sighing but the drums just cut out too soon
then my winamp starts to play vanilla extract witch just sounds too awkward right after hearing dark reaches

8) i'm diggin' the percussion at the beginning. It's what made me
keep on listening. Music 2 my ears.
I give it a cool 8.98/10 [needs a better ending(but wut do i know)]

Dude, I'm lovin' this song. The samples that you used near the
middle were just absolutely astounding, considering this whole song
is done in 96kbps quality. ^o^ There was one time my last semester
when I was still a Sophomore in high school I brought my cd player
and a cd with this song on it. It was during third block. Arts and
Humanities. We were watching a movie for the heck of it because
other classes were behind of us, so we watched a movie to pass the
time and allow the other blocks to catch up with us, so, I was
bored and I decided to pull out my RCA $56 cd player with MP3/WMA
compatibility. I was listening to this song and a girl to the left
of me asked what I was listening to. I told her some kind of geeky
response, such as: watch the movie. shh, you're loud. Or something
of that nature. She wanted to listen to this song. I gave her the
headphones. She listened for a while and asked me if I got this at
"pornomusic.com" I was like, "Whoa! If I ever said that on OCR, I'd
get either in so much trouble or be popular like metroid684!" So,
now I've decided to tell you that someone actually thought your
music is porno music! lol Really, I don't care what it sounds like
to me. This song is so awesome yo. I give this a 94.7. Take care!

Wow. That was really cool. Great transitions, and some really good
songs from SMW to be remixed. I loved the way you added in random
SFX from the game; that always makes my day. "Great stuff, worth
every nanosecond of the download." Very, very true. Good job, man!
