C'mon guys and gals. Don't let me be the only one to submit something.

We have a logo.

Sigs are coming soon. They'll be customized down to the squad, not the remixer.

Just dropping by to say your guys' remixes gave me a real Xenoblade vibe.
Great job everyone.

I'll have my bonus track ready by Friday. May be cutting it close, but hopefully it'll be worth it.

On an interesting aside, Darkesword is right, first and foremost: if you merge sources, think not about absolute pitch (e.g. What notes are being played), but more about relative pitch (e.g. what scale degrees are being played). I'm glad he pointed that out, as it can help make the intimidating process of merging sources far more manageable.
As someone who wants really great music to come from this, I can give just a few more ideas on how to handle your sources:
Give a precursory thought about form. There's no need to get into too much detail, or give more than a minute of thought on it, but if you have some idea that you're going to make a short ABA track it can help generate ideas when you'll use what source, which alleviates writer's block. A nice trick I personally use, for example, is using sonata form when mixing four or more sources at once (such as my older track 'Magnus Divinicus Chiptunicus'); AB C AB (that's Sonata form: Exposition 'AB', Development 'C', Recapitulation 'AB') gives you a lot of room to use very different ideas while still having a cohesive sounding piece. That's a personal trick of mine, but you can use many more established forms to keep your track from becoming two sources stacked next to each other. For people who are not used to mixing sources together, this will help keep you on track.
Shape ("Contour") is more important than getting the exact intervals correct. Rarely can you get a theme to match with another sources harmonies without changing some of the intervals notably, so don't be afraid to change the size of the intervals for important themes if it helps harmonize it better with whatever music you have underlying it. As long as you don't change the shape of the theme, it will still be recognizable.
Rhythm and beat pattern is a powerful motive in its own right. If a source has an iconic beat pattern (say, MM2 Wily 1's famous '2 gallop + three 8th note' pattern), people will make the connection between the sources no matter what notes or shapes you make with them. As far as submittable material it'll give you a funny look on the panel claiming it as source, but using rhythms as compositional glue to keep it grounded in more original sections can really help make something sound cohesive.
There are all sorts of smaller tricks to the trade, here, but these should help on a more general level. I'm hoping this turns out to be a great compo, with lots of solid music and growth for people here.

Fully agree with DS and Gario on this. Definitely the form; it helps a lot if you just pick A as your first source, B as your second source. And of course you can just use a part of that source's melody, no need to do the full line. My Megaman track "Never Gonna Give (Up The Funk)" is a good example of that; it uses a part of Cyber Maze Core for A in the verse, another part for the bridge, a part of Gravity Beetle for the chorus, and another part of Cyber Maze Core for the solo. You can even get away with playing the 2 leads at the same time frequently.
For me, having a loose idea about form and some 8/16 bar blocks that have the source material in it so I can shove them around in my DAW is a great idea to crystallize that form. Those can be pretty basic blocks, with just some drums, bass and snippets of the leads of both the sources. It's a great way to mix and match the sources and try out ideas because you quickly get a feel for what flows well and what doesn't.
A variation of Gario's rhythm and beat patterns is that you can frequently re-use an arp, a bassline or some short melodic figures quite easily. Especially if you have some of those basic blocks, it can be a quick way to fill our your arrangement more and to include more reference to the source.
Oh, and for the folks that worry about music theory because of all the scales, intervals, tonics mentioned: I don't know a lot of music theory, but I've learned to trust my ears and feeling and my taste. If the theoretical and technical side of things is not your strongest suit, don't forget that you have team mates to bounce your ideas off and get quick feedback. Just trust yourself and let your team mates help you out in the things you're still learning. And yes, how to combine sources can definitely be one of those things. I'm more than happy to help out my team mates with this at least

Folks, here's some advice related to combining two sources together that I wrote in a different thread.
 

All of the feedback has been greatly appreciated. Kind of hopping back-and-forth between my projects right now to keep myself from getting overwhelmed when I hit a roadblock with one.

SHAMELESS double-post, I know, but I wanted to say that I'm finally done with the first set of formal reviews. Looking back, it seems reviewing 20+ tracks in the space of two weeks didn't work out so well with everything life threw at me over the holidays, so we'll probably just review the tracks as we get updates moving forward.
Great work everyone, and I hope some of what was said was helpful. Let us know if you need any help!

I'm having trouble getting into discord on this computer so I just wanted to say I'm fine with "Mars" being my theme.

Hey Everyone! Just dropping by to say that this is looking great, keep up the good work!

We see most remixes of popular games, understandably.
Here are some other options, different games, maybe different music genre.
I suggest a remix of Aztec Adventure for Sega Master System, especially this track:
 
Something more upbeat, from the makers of Puzzle Bobble, Parasol Stars:
 
And finally, Slap Fight MD. (Only the arcade was released outside Japan as Alcon):
 

Oh yes, finally some MMBN. 

Going to hop back on my track here soon. Whenever I have a decent improvement along with the directors' early feedback I'll drop it in the private forum.
I keep trying to work on it but every time I do it winds up like this: 

Ready to roll!

Tried to upload my remix of this tune yesterday but the wi-fi failed on me.
 

Hate to double post, but my track is up. Rather short, but I'm trying to go for substance. EQ could probably use a bit more work, but eh.

Just submitted my entry, I was pretty busy this weekend with the kido and didn't have much time to finish where I was headed. Its more a less a simple midi refresher with a new synth arp line that i sequenced and a few drum edits. 

Got mine done - Not quite as polished as I'd have liked it to be, but I was really restricted on time this week. Still, it's something a little different from the others

Hello, all! Just a few quick updates:
Sorry again for the delay on reviews. Life is still complicated these days but I'm working on it! I have been in touch with @DaMonz and he tells me he'll get to the reviews when he can, but he's even busier than I am these days. He's hoping to get started ASAP, but he figures it may be a while. Prominion has sent me a WIP! He's asked that I not post it yet, as he has lots of stuff he knows he can do better. He'll send me something I can post once he's more confident with what he has. No word yet on when he'll join the forum... I've also been in touch with @Trev regarding his claims and we've worked out an arrangement for his track progress moving forward. My own WIP has, admittedly, received little attention this month. I'll be prioritizing this on Thursday through the weekend, so regardless of what I actually get finished, I'll have something on Tuesday. Just a reminder, it will be the very first rough WIP of an un-posted remixer, so it certainly won't be stellar, but any advice would be appreciated - so long as it's constructive and not just heckling.  
Just because we haven't reviewed a track doesn't mean it can't be worked on in the meantime! Since I'm taking so long to get the reviews out, if anyone has an update to submit, go ahead and we'll review that. I certainly hope that everyone is continuing to work on their WIPs anyway; we have a goal of having 16 complete WIPs by April 1st, and I now have 5 with the addition of Cornerian Hall of Fame, so 11 more to go! 
We still have some claims left to be had! Check the front page of the thread for the unclaimed area themes - most boss themes and character themes are also open!
Thanks to everyone for being patient with me. I am still available if anyone has any questions, concerns, or just want to chat a bit. Looking forward to more amazing music as the year goes on!
