The intro is one slide whistle away from summoning Weird Al and I love it. Absolutely conjures Banjo-Kazooie mentally, which is a testament to how well done this polka track is. So much fun, really enjoyed this.

Really digging the tropical guitar underneath the main melody, it really gives it that down groove vibe that makes the whole mix pop. A cool, relaxing song for sure, very nice.

The piano and synth work together beautifully in this one, and it sounds so good especially when it hits that second gear halfway through.

Giving this tune a bit of new age, choir-filled tune-up was neat, as it felt like an extension of the original, kinda like some of the tracks from the Returns games with some returning tracks. Agreed with CJ, that pause and following section of the mix was the best. Really good work here.

Whoa, I actually really like how it starts similar to the original but keeps building and building and building over the course of the ReMix, which really makes it hit harder in the last minute, especially the drums for me personally. The whole mix sounded great, but it really felt like it was all made for sticking that climactic ending, and you did. Awesome.

Wow, for a mix of sources you weren't familiar with beforehand, I think you killed it mixing them together for a solid track. The deliberate aggression of Tunnel Rhino leading to the melody of Zero stage 2 and back again was kinda sweet. Sounds great to me.

The amount of soul in this funky track almost made my soul leave, damn! The vocals, the beat, the entire production and arrangement of it all just kicks ass in the smoothest way possible. I love this, man. Y'all did so good on this.

I remember liking the original competition version a long time ago, and I like this version even more. Lot of good ideas on blending the two themes around each other. Very nice mix!

Very beautiful ReMix, certainly fits the imagery you set out to imply with the title and background. Sorrow by way of small lingering hope, I dig it.

That was godly, simply put! If I wasn't aware of the source and was told this came from a classic power metal band or even the Strive/Xrd ost, I'd have believed it with those awesome vocals and guitar licks. Everyone just did so incredible on this ReMix and it really might be one of my favorite Willrock tracks as of now. Recommended for any metal lovers who also want vocals soaring higher than the clouds, damn!

Something about the vibraphone here reminds me of some of the mini Mario levels in Mario vs DK. But to the actual mix, it's a neat little jazz piece that fits well with the jazz lounge or bar setting. Could easily see this in a lighter section of a noir story. Cowabunga indeed!

This is an absolute clinic of jazz instrumentation and feels downright classy. A very good track on a fantastic album for sure.

The synth and bass and overall 80's vibe was great, and when the energy really picked up it was a blast to listen to. I could see why some folks might have been harder on this, but it worked for me. Not bad.

I certainly didn't find this boring, it's very peaceful and calming. Could definitely have this on if I'm fighting a headache and need to just lay down to feel better. It's nice.

This is terrific! It seemed conservative at first (usually not an issue for me), but it really built in on itself and made the mix sound like an update of the source, which is my favorite type of close mix. I'm also usually not against fade out endings, but man, this really could have done more with a definitive end, be it a crescendo or slower, creepy drifting off of piano keys or bells. But ending is a small nitpick for a great mix.

Gotta love some well done percussion popping around some creepy synthy goodness. This really lets the mood just settle in. Good stuff!

100% agree, especially the Shovel Knight bit. The chiptune is super playful and mischievous, almost invoking fall/spooky vibes at times, it's such a fun sounding mix. Definitely up there for one of my favorite ReMixes of the Dark World forest.

That electric violin was hot! It's a good arrangement for a theme that is fine but was due for a bit of a fresh fusiony coat of musical paint.

Ooooh, really digging the horns section in this one, which get complimented super well with the drums and bass. Really classy, superb even. The ending theme for SMB 3 is one I usually forget about honestly since it goes by pretty quick at the end of the game, but this did it justice for sure.

Hella bouncy and quirky indeed. Got a bit of a floaty feeling to it, very pleasant to listen to. Good stuff.

One of my favorites from the album, it's a really good edm take on the Pipe World map that's got the hook that makes it easy to hear the source and how it flows all around the mix. Has a nice groove to it, keeping the spirit of world 7 very much alive, so nicely done.

I actually really dig how well metal and dubstep gel together, especially when it's mixed together tastefully like this, giving it all of a bit of an electronic bite that doesn't overdo it. Makes the whole song aggressive and menacing in the best way.

I get the feeling of a lakeside portion of the grove-like forest from this ReMix, so be it a dream or water, the R&B arrangement certainly give it a unique and wonderful sound. It's pretty good in my opinion.

Sounds like, to me, taking this theme and giving it the synthpop treatment was like giving it a shot in the arm and putting a bit more pulse into it while maintaining it's original beauty, so that was cool. Loved the little effects here and there that really sold the arrangement.

Short, sweet and turned a very repetitive boss theme into something cool and made the most of it while throwing in some fun raps. Pretty fun for less than a minute and half, love it.
