I am so in! Golden Sun is one of my favourite soundtracks. My issue is trying to decide which track to choose from because they are all so good! Saturos and Menardi, Magma Rock, and Kolima Forest are probably ones I am most interested in.
I play electric guitar(pretty much just rhythm stuff) and would be willing to record some stuff for others too if need be(if they can't find someone better)

Whilst they never recorded a proper version(as far as I know), the NESkimos did a great live medley of SMB3 in two parts. Here's a link to part one.

Hello, all! Me here. Again.
I have been out of commission since August due to a personal loss of someone very close to me. I've been anti-social, shutting out the people closest to me, and throwing myself in full 'get through the day' mode for three months - with a little self-pity for maximum impact. There is nothing like doing everything the grief counsellors tell you not to do - the platitudes lose their effect after a while, and it's amazing how far down you go before you realize where you are and how long you've been there.
So, I have let this get off the rails again, and this time, I let it run over our final deadline. I can say with certainty that this project is not yet to the point where it can be submitted, and due to the utter lack of updates in my absence - except @Slimy (final tracks submitted! YAY), @JulienMulard, and @TheChargingRhino, I've received no updates from anyone. That being said, I really wasn't here at all this time and judging from some of the feed I was reading on Discord, some folks are losing faith - so here I am, once again checking in with the project and letting everyone know I'm not dead and neither is this project.
Now, we are past the final deadline I set for September 30th. I have to reframe this project to get it back on track and this may mean renaming the project itself. If you still want your submitted track to be included in the album, have faith and I will be reaching out soon! If you are out of patience with me and want to take the music elsewhere (or submit independently), please let me know or I will assume you are still on board.
----
For anyone questioning whether I will see this through, you would be right to ask - but please understand that this project gives me a joy I don't have in other parts of my life right now. I will see this through one way or the other - after all, I always come back, don't I?
I'm sorry again for being away. Please have patience with me through this - we're still going to get this done!
So sorry to hear about your loss, Nika. I completely understand as I've lost someone recently too...
I hope things get better for you, and I hope you have a reliable network of close friends and family to help you through.
I'm also sorry that I haven't had any updates for a while, I'm still trying to get myself back on track. Pun intended.

I loved Hybrid Heaven, such an interesting game. I'd forgotten the soundtrack wasn't too back either.
-
Not dead, just super busy D:
Still working though, just slowly.
-
I imagine everyone is very busy and/or hard at work, I know I am. I was just listening to some other WIPs again and wanted to say well done, guys. Looking good.
-
Yeah, I really need to learn how to mix as I have no idea what I'm doing.
-
You know, there has been a couple of times where I've been thinking about this song and suddenly find myself thinking about the SMB Castle theme, but I thought I was just weird. Maybe there is something there after all...
I do like the idea of using the jingle as a transition to Wart's if I go that route, and yeah I don't think I'd do it if it doesn't sound natural. Seems lazy to just paste it on the end.
Thanks, dude
-
Some solid advice, thanks a lot, man. I'm excited to go back now and try some of this out.
-
Yeah, that's pretty fair. I kind of leant right into the repetitiveness of the original but I thought maybe the rhythm variations might make up for that. That said, the drums are still very copy/paste so there's probably a tonne I can do there as well.
I think your suggestions are great and I'll definitely try and work on that, cheers.
-
It's pretty simple so I thought I'd do a quick and dirty record of the guitars, but I'm not sure where to go with it from here. Maybe thinking of transitioning into Wart's theme or just ending it with a end level jingle but I'm not sure.
-
This is a pretty cool idea, I hope it goes well, dude.
-
Looks like I got all my work done just in time, can finally get the last parts of my newer WIP done in time for the deadline.
-
I meant like, rhythm or lead guitar, what kind of sound like distorted etc.
If it's some simple distorted rhythm guitar stuff you want and you can't find anyone better, I am probably available.
-
What kind of electric guitar are you looking for?
-
I'm pretty close to finalising my arrangement, and hopefully I'll have something not completely horrible to show very soon. I don't anticipate any problems meeting the next check-in since after tomorrow I'll finally have a large chunk of free time for the first time this year!
It sucks about the Andross thing, I was interested in the idea of a big collab but didn't want to commit until I had something more substantial with Sector Z.
I was listening to the WIPs last night and I'm still really impressed, inspires me to pick up my game a bit more, great work so far, guys.
-
I'll have something more substantial soon, just waiting for it to cool down a bit around here so I get less noise and feedback from my ceiling fan and a/c when recording
-
I moved house recently so I'm still trying to find and get my recording stuff setup, I'll definitely have it sorted before the deadline, but I can upload a small section in midi over the next couple of days if you need. Still very much in the ideas and writing phase.
-
Hey dude, love your music.
The art for this game looks great, that run animation is fantastic.
-
Thanks for the welcome, guys. Look forward to working with you all.
-
Hi guys, this is a great idea that I'd love to be a part of if I could.
I'm new here but could I claim Sector Z from Star Fox 64?
-
That was great, man. I wasn't digging your guitar tone at the start but I got over it, the rest of the song sounded really good.
-
I really loved how full that sounded, it flowed really well and sounded great.
-
Thanks, man. I've tried a couple of AW covers in the past and whenever I mess with the arrangement it always feels wrong to me, so instead I try and put a lot of work into the guitar.

Oh that is really disappointing
I'm still working on my track! I took a break after I hit a wall with the arrangement, but I've been slowly making progress. I think the majority of the arrangement is finished, just trying to smooth some transitions and figure how I'm ending it. This is always the longest part in my process, once the arrangement is final, everything else comes together pretty quickly!
