This is pretty sweet as a grand tour (or Grand Prix if you will), of several course songs and I love the item selection jingle being used as transitions. The lyrical throwback to the “where you go” video made me laugh because I always remember that video when I play on Rainbow Road. 15 minutes of just awesome mario kart music mixed well, very cool stuff here.

Going back and forth between the 8 bit parts and piano before blending them together was gorgeous and kinda caught me off-guard in the best way at first, I loved it. I’m used to hearing different styles mixed together, but having one transition into another in the way it was done here was cool. Such an interesting idea that really works in my opinion.

I love how perfectly balanced this is between tropical and chill so that it just begs to be looped and relaxed to. There’s just enough ambiance behind the music to paint the picture of a coastal town by the water, but doesn’t overdo it. So peaceful and calming, fantastic mix man.

Beautiful. Definitely gives me the same sense of nostalgic joy that a lot of music does nowadays in remakes and media teasers when you combine a melody you know well with an orchestra. Very nice.

I hear the Final Fantasy arpeggios type deal, and I enjoy the laid-back chill vibe of the mix, but yeah, some of the production could have used a little shine. The one thing that stood out the most to me on that were the cymbals. But it was still cool in its own way and was decent enough. Nothing that I overly disliked or absolutely loved, just liked it well enough. Not bad.

Hmm. I get it, and I gotta say, I’m glad I’m getting it now because I’m not sure I would have understood this a while back. This really does seem like a mix that builds up and gets better with time and repeat listens. I understand the dislike some folks might have for some of the more disjointed jazzy parts especially in the opening minute, but once it starts clicking together I kinda dig it. All a matter of taste, which is perfectly fine. Not my favorite Mazedude mix, but still liked it.

I remember requesting a ReMix from this game over a decade ago right before the movie came out as it was one of my favorites when I was younger, and so I’m overjoyed to hear this game finally get love on the site. The whispered chanting and darker tone really set the mood well and the arrangement is incredible for making this longer track sound good for over nine minutes especially when it picks up near the end. Trance seems like it can be tricky to keep people engaged, but this does it so well. Instant addition to my mp3 and hopefully Prince of Persia gets more love in the future!

Woo! Gotta love that dnb! This is the kind of energy and franticness that an endgame of Tetris 99 should feel like, but I kinda like the way the melody carries on here a little more. Lots of little switch ups kept it interesting and fun, so I liked it well enough. Nice work.

This is incredibly satisfying to listen to. It’s nice to hear an orchestral ReMix explore several avenues of speed and complexity in it’s performance, and makes it almost as fun as more cinematic orchestral songs, but in a different way. Certainly a mix where the arrangement of the sources shines for me.

Orchid’s original stage and the feel of Ultratech in general always gave me the feeling of a gritty and dark yet somewhat beautiful city vibe, so this synthy take on the main theme really hits the spot for me. KI is one of those game franchises that I will always enjoy hearing more love for. Ending didn’t bug me as much because that’s how the original character select theme ended on the ost as well, so I’m used to it. Very nice mix.

Super interesting and awesome to hear this lively take on the Meta Knight ending styled like a western theme that leans into the trumpet even harder than normal. This would make a good addition to the background music for my western DnD campaign I’m doing for some friends. A great arrangement with solid production, fantastic work guys.

This is such a fun ReMix! I absolutely love how the percussion dances around the melody, especially in the middle section. Perfect Kirby vibes from this one, love it!

I love everything about this ReMix, from the vocals and the story driven lyrics, to the amazing arrangement and guitar, even the sound effects going along with the music cues. This is fantastic and honestly a good musical representation of what facing Mr. Dream is like most of the time (even if I oddly find him easier to beat than Sandman and Macho once you get the pattern down). Such a great song, man.

Really interesting to hear a techno-ish piece with the intro build up of a trance song, but as long as it’s not boring, I can handle a longer intro and this certainly wasn’t boring to me. Enjoyed the beat and the high-paced energy throughout the song. Kinda reminded me of a lot of electronic music I heard in the early 2000’s, so it feels right at home in my tastes.

Alright, so obviously age and samples didn’t do this mix any favors, but I do have to say that the intro and the overall feeling of the mix still reached my ears well enough. I got an idea of what the vibe was, and I appreciate when a ReMix can remind me of the technical progression music samples have made since then. Always fun to see Type B’s music get mixed.

Such an awesome orchestral arrangement of Millia's theme. She quickly became one of my favorite characters to play as, and her music always seemed just under Ky's for old-school regal sound, so hearing this ReMix kinda expand on that aspect of beauty that was always present behind the rock was pretty sweet. I will say, I feel like the ReMix was at it's best when the tempo picked up and brought that energy in, so I wish there was more of that, but it wasn't enough to bother me really. Pretty decent mix, fellas, I liked it.

Definitely could be considered loud at times, but if you're taking Chipp's high energy theme and giving it the electronic works, you gotta match the energy of a ninja, which Beatdrop does indeed! This glitching effects were great, and the best parts of the original melody remained intact, which is a plus for this switch in styles. I'm so glad I got into Guilty Gear properly earlier this year, so I can fully appreciate the music from the series and the ReMixes that have come from them, like this one. Not bad, man.

I always forget that Tetris had title screen music, but it's more pleasant here than it was in the older games in my opinion. I really like the classical feel of the harpsichord slowly bleeding into the more upbeat Korobeiniki and dancing around it from time to time. Lots of nice arrangement touches here. I enjoyed this.

Man, this is so good! I absolutely love the blending of glitchy funk and Middle Eastern vibes, especially when it lays it on thick in an almost Arabian Nights way in the middle. Shantae is one of those series that is hard to not jam out to and deserves all the love, and adding some buzz to an already hot pair of tracks like Burning Town and Scuttle Town was a great call to make them both pop more. Love it!

This is awesome, man. All the emotions and feelings I'd expect from an exploratory game with a haunting undertone like Metroid is present and accounted for here, with a beautiful orchestral arrangement that has tight production and very intelligent writing. This is as solid as a rock, good stuff!

Funny how DJP mentioned Earth Angel, because I definitely got a 50's BTTF school dance vibes from this while listening to it. It's slow and smooth with enough reverb to allow each note to feel like a floating dream. So much heartfelt sentiment to be gleamed from this, if you're looking for something pretty, relaxing and romantic, I'd certainly recommend this.

Ooh, so funky, and keeping that spooky vibe from the original alive makes it all the better. That solo from ectogemia was slick as hell, too. Very satisfying ReMix of Mystic Cave zone, this built on everything I loved about the original. Fantastic mix, dudes!

You definitely made this Mega Man tune sound even more Mega Man-ish than it was by weaving that driving DnB into the melody and beat, making it lively yet purposeful. That's something I've noticed with the Mega Man series, the themes from them seem to either be high energy anthems or just have catchy arrangements, but the really memorable ones, especially later in the games, have both energy and memorable beats, and that's what this reminds me of. Like, everything is balanced incredibly well so that it comes off better by being melded. Very nice!

As someone who is an unapologetic 80's era music lover and someone who also just recently discovered Mitch Murder through the newer Friday the 13th game, I could not approve of this synthwave Shovel Knight ReMix any harder if I wanted to. I especially like how well Tinker Knight's theme lends itself to a more upbeat treatment here. Fantastic beat, voxy vocals, and great teamwork between the synths and percussion, this is awesome, dude!

Love the touch of glitchy dubs all around this funky track. Not sure intense is the right word, but certainly gives this quite the edge and has a more serious sound than other tracks that have higher energy or funk, but keeps all the fun intact. I always love hearing more Zero ReMixes, and this is a really smooth mix that I enjoyed more than the source itself. Well done!
