Ah, the atmosphere! Really is relaxing and chill, reminds me of something out of a puzzle game or the like. Wonderful guitar work from Viking Guitar (obviously), and the rest of the ReMix, especially the piano, sounded sweet. Cool stuff.

I'm glad DJP brought up the split-second Castlevania feeling riff at 1:22, because it shows I'm not hearing things. Lots of funky energy on this sexy jazzy mix. Fantastic work, Sir J.
-
The amount of energy in this one, It's like pure musical sugar. Nice to hear a chiptune piece go all out crazy like this.

Happy birthday beatdrop!

Now that is what a champion battle is supposed to sound like. Lots of intensity and lots of power. Awesome ReMix.

As if I needed any more reasons to like Gilbert Gottfried, we get this. Get over here.......TOASTY!

Happy Rexday!

Well, this is about as straightforward as it gets, really. It is pretty close to the original, but there is some personalization with the drums and beats, so it has a little something to separate it from the Mario theme. It's not bad, and I even like it because it's basically a spruced up version of the original, but you can definitely see the standards change when looking at this compared to a couple years later.

The use of Scorpion's spear hook is actually a really nice touch and fits right in with the rest of this arrangement. Doesn't exactly hold up after so many years, but it doesn't sound terrible either. I kinda agree with Vilecat, I actually don't think it was too repetitive (not as bad as some mixes, anyway), but it ran a little long near the end when you total everything up. Good for letting it play in the back while doing other things, I'd say.

PrototypeRaptor! It's always good to hear a ReMix from this guy, especially a terrific electronic mix of Tornado Man's theme. Pretty sweet work with the vocals added in. Loving the ReMix title as well. A+ ReMix, fella.
-
Intro reminds me of someone putting a ball in a silver bowl and letting it roll around the edge. Not a bad thing at all, just funny to me. Interesting take on the file select theme and I liked the style switch to the more piano-centric arrangement at 2:20. Have to agree with OA that I would have loved to hear it swing back to the previous style before ending to get that nice "sandwich of arrangements" technique, but I can't really complain about what you have here. Cool stuff, man.
-
Sounds fine to me even with it being started, fixed, updated and retooled over the years. Nice to see it finally get to a point where it could be passed. That ending section is a beauty of a part and the rest of the ReMix has moments where I really enjoyed the arrangement direction. Not bad, man.

Happy Briggsday!

Wow. The percussion of this ReMix marching along ahead the melody is crazy good. Very upbeat and adding that little bit of rock with the flute just lets the whole mix soar. An amazing ReMix of Wings and another great track from Ziwtra. Really enjoying this one.
-
I actually forgot Frogger even had music to begin with, but I like what DJP set out to do here. How well it has aged obviously depends on the listener, but DJP seems to have plenty of songs that have aged much better than others in this time bracket, and this is one of them in my opinion.

Ha, now this is fun to listen to. The klezmer vibe is strong with this one and I got a nice big smile out of the carnival section. Nice work with the sax and clarinet. You said you wanted to go a little bit more Jewish with this one, and musically, I definitely heard it at some points. Also have to tip my hat to the title as an Inspector Gadget fan. Fun ReMix indeed, nicely done XPRTNovice.
-
Ah, yes, smooth and slick jazz fusion ReMix for Sakura and Dan! Now that is music to my ears. Ace production and a fine arrangement all rolled into one space. Incredible debut for That Andy Guy and I sincerely hope we hear more from him soon. Loving this.
-
Wow. This is probably the most aggressive-sounding straight-up chiptune ReMixes I've heard in a long time. Some of the chips and sound samples that you used to arrange this reminded me of the way the music was styled in the original Shantae game, with the rolling chips under the beat (if anyone even knows what I mean). To hear that applied to Torvus Bog is cool. Damn, Mazedude, this is great.
-
The bells are way too sharp in this mix and really, production of this ReMix goes from one end of the extreme to the other as it progresses. Certain samples just seem off and it kinda snowballs the more that gets added. Sorry, didn't really dig this one.
-
This is fantastic. Hearing Sabrina on vocals again and singing to the melody of Suteki da ne was awesome and even the vocalizations in between were pretty sweet. And of course I'm digging the instrumental work by Chris, Magellanic and DJ Mystix behind the vocals, especially that violin. Very beautiful and very fitting for the games that the sources came from. Fantastic work, all of you.

Happy Birthday Hoboka!

That heavy beat that drives most of the ReMix has a smooth yet energetic vibe to it and I how you were able to arrange the Lost Woods and Windmill hut in the way you did, where it sounded speed up, but still had the melody intact and matched the pace of the rest of the ReMix. Took me a second to catch it, but after that brief second, I got it and dug it.
-
This is an odd bird of a ReMix. While it does seem to have a heavy load of sampling and other things that might bother some people, I feel this was done in the right way (or at least didn't go to far to that side of the issue) to avoid being too much of a general "remix". The Wizard clips where nice and good to hear considering what you named the ReMix to begin with.

Aw, man. Not Mario, Smee and Eddie Valiant!
Rest in peace, Bob Hoskins.

So yeah, if this was sped up, it really would be in the realm of Hawaiian polka and chicken dance and such. I don't know, I kinda like it for the arrangement idea of taking the shop theme and throwing a happy half-goofy tropical overlay on it. Not groundbreaking at all and as others have said, certain samples and production values aren't as good as others, but it's fun to listen to a couple of times.
