MISSION STATEMENT
The goal of Compo:MnP is to promote that "meat and potatoes" conservative approach to remixing: this includes the mood and composition of source tunes. It is up to the remixer to create their own personalization, or to simply give it a sound upgrade. Moreover, the compo is a great opportunity to hone your remixing skills and give video game music the respect that is due. SOME reinterpretation is recommended, but not required.

MnP Instructions/Guidelines
Covers and Sound Upgrades are permitted. Most or all of the source notes must be present (but not necessarily in the exact same order), secondly the mood (energy, pacing, feelings being conveyed etc) should also be retained. For example, a source tune that is fast-paced and energetic that's remixed into a mellow/chill-out theme would be a hard sell. If you decide to do a genre swap (i.e. symphonic to techno), make sure that the conditions of #2 are met. Submissions must be at a maximum of 20mb (keeping in step with ThaSauce's file size max). Only 1 entry per participant. Previous winner cannot participate but can submit a BONUS entry. Please don't make any comments about people's entries - including your own - until the Voting process is concluded.  BONUS entries are exempt of this rule. Same rules for PRC voting Stage: don't vote for yourself, be considerate and try to give reasonable feedback as to why you liked X or Y entry.  All competitors and voters must adhere to the rules stated within: Competition Code and Conduct
MISC/TIPS
- When picking a source tune, make sure it has a MIDI to make ppl's lives easier.
- In-game sound FX are permitted, so long as they don't comprise the whole track (i.e. replacing entire MIDI tracks with just sfx)

Ha, you can't be killed if I kill myself first!!  2022.  Wait a second...

This makes me wish OCR had an angry react option like Newgrounds.

Oh, NOW you fix it. >:(

That's right.  May 21st 2020.  Now I get to sit back and do fuck all for almost a whole year.
edit Ok, fixed it.

(Dunno why never thought to do this ^ before.  Probably laziness. ((edit))How come no one raised this issue to me and it had to occur to me at over 100 rounds?  T_T)

Gotta snort blow fast!!  Sonic 2020.  Or maybe 2006?   The latter makes more sense.
I'm afraid, I don't get it Captain...

Changing the sound chip, shouldn't be illegal right? If it is, then i will file a lawsuit against whoever said it is. 

Making a Sega Genesis cover, does nothing to the composition, but more of what the sound is. In this case FM.

You know, i might as well be president of MnP lol 
Before Hoboka get's a chance to react, i've already done it. Best to talk to him though, i only can give you so much lol.
But seriously though, if we talking chips, it has to be ready salted (Or crisps....*sigh* Britons and there lingo. We call them crisps, i don't know how that works, but that's UK for ya. Do people actually like Salt and Vinegar? They burn your mouth pretty bad....ehem, moving on...)
Anyways, thanks for stopping by...(People and there stupid Salt and Vinegar....ok, ok, i'll stop.)

I read inbetween the lines. After 2 paragraphs of mumbling, i found my answer. I believe "gotta go fast" is the motto. Sonic special right? 

If you carefully read between or after the lines I write you can know already what it will be. Sonic

Oh god....er...i mean....oh good.

Ooo-oooooh make it an OLR-throwback round I gotta have muh parody remixes.
Cool source btw.

Just out of interest, is PRC400 gonna be somewhat of a free round? As a milestone celebration...

I am never speaking to you again. Take your Salt and Vinegar and get out of here. We don't take kindly to the sacrilegious acidity of saltiness and vinegary textures.
I'm only joking by the way. I do like this flavour (I have my eye on you...you...salt loving traitor....ahem...) 

One day, maybe TVG. 
Salt & Vinegar is good stuff >:3
 

Some of the samples (i.e. the jazz trumpets) and drum writing/snares samples etc were done by Sir Jordanius.  And most of the transitional FX were his too.  Though I guess my sound library is better these days.  Speaking of...I could use better jazz samples.  But sure, a collab would be cool.  

Oh, your take is nowhere near being non-conservative, don't worry.  Being non-conservative in the MnP books is altering the source material too much, rearranging a shit-ton...reducing or increasing the tempo way beyond.  Altering the mood too much.  OFC...exceptions are for Howlowe'en and December, b/c they are more thematic - and sometimes the source material doesn't always fit the theme of those holiday specials.
I'll give you an example of as "liberal" an approach as I can tolerate in MnP...

Skoshu's entry. 
 

Wow.  I was asleep on the wheel of that transaction.  Glad to know that ThaSauce didn't give you any trouble Seth my man.  Guess I spent TOO much time on Newgrounds...
Dat technological knowledge of sound chips and stuff.  It's on my to-do list to read up on.   Mmmm chips. 
And yeah, qualitative remarks we generally do *after* the voting process and obviously we put comments down when we vote.  No harm done though.  Sometimes we drop qualitative stuff in the comments section of our submitted tracks b/c reasons.  Though it's best to avoid, if you don't wanna poison your chances at getting a vote in your favor >: 3
If you got any other questions, feel free to ask me, Mr. Seth Skoda
(edit over9000)
And thanks Dex and TVG for doing my job for me.  Saved me a lot of awkwardness and derp.  Well.  Some of it anyways. 
 

Thanks for participating Billy Bob Jr.  <3
Congrats NPD.  Fun round.
