@anachromium Man, if I could, I would--but it's been so many years since I've touched acoustic guitar or flute I would probably fail pretty hard on it without substantial practice. Kinda wish I never sold my old band flute TBH. Acoustic guitar also needs new strings.
@TheVideoGamer Woot. \o/ I mean mine's pretty experimental, but I thank you specifically for the inspiration. ♥

I forgot about this!
Ack i'll try and squeeze a last minuter in....

Even though it's too late for this competition, I'd really like to do an acoustic guitar + trombone version of this theme, if someone was interested in a collab? I got the feeling that this instrumentation could tribute the original feeling really well. 

And i got it in lol.
I did not spend much time on it, so it's not the best....

Thanks.  That is very true... Glad you found a place here.  This community will be around in some way shape or form for a while yet, I reckon.  Best of wishes to you.  If you're in the Thasauce Discord, you can find me there.  Also, I think someone gave me a Beta-build CPU.  Faulty wiring...beep boop X_X

@HoboKa Well, it's sure be fun for me at least. I've enjoyed hanging around these compos (MnP and PRC) the past few months than I ever did lurking about in the remix workshop, giving out 2-bit advice. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy letting folks know I like their stuff, but always felt impersonal, distant. The little community here, I feel like I have a place. As that guy who doesn't seem to know how to compose without at least 3 tracks of stringed instruments XD. Hang in there, boss. At the end of the day, we're all folks staring at our computers, making music and sharing it with folks who could be robots for all we know (my serial number is #64813490, in case you're wondering.) Take a breather, do something nice for yourself.

Big Update!!
I am going to be taking a break from MnP and am working to delegate all responsibilities to @TheVideoGamer and to a lesser extend @Bundeslang.  I will be on standby for emergencies. 
[Wtf was I on??] Though I aim to spend less time at OCR, as I love the community, but I don't like how high the Quality Bar is and feel that the Judge Panel could step it down a notch for the less skilled hobbyists.  Also this blinding white light of the forum Theme is really bad for my eyes.  Being near-sighted (yeah, I use glasses...but I might be at risk for Glaucoma) and with constant Allergy problems, it's just not good for me lol.   [Clearly, I was conflating the issue here.  Some of it is true, but...I was dancing around the crux of the matter.  Most likely, it is background noise to other issues I am dealing with.  Double apology there.]
[More Apropos] I have come to realize that I am poor at handling stressful situations and I lost my cool, to say the least, with one of our participants.  I don't want this to be a pattern and I need to get back on counseling and healthier self-care routines.  It sucks, but it is what it is.  Said individual told me they've forgiven me.  However, I still don't feel good about it. 
I have thoroughly enjoyed hosting MnP and being a huge part of the Compo Community.  Wish the best to you guys

Bonus submission in.

Hey there.
TYSM for the congrats guys, but TBH, it's all of you who should get the biggest congrats. Those were some damned good songs, and I really did have a terrible time picking and choosing amongst the lot. No one song, to me, was "bad", even if a WIP / old project. So congrats all around.
@Dextastic TY for the deeper bit of criticism on Catamitus. I'll take it into account with the rest and possibly do a remaster or fidget with it before publishing it fully.
@HoboKa It's no problem at all. Was my sincerest pleasure to try to give everyone in-depth critique! Hope they're at least useful...
I noticed some questions came up about my work, two of which I'll try to address here:
None of the songs, even Halcyon Hare Stage were done using anything but BandLab and whatever SFX, EQ, VSTs, loops and samples are available on there. XD There were no live recordings or using other devices to meld sounds together--hope that doesn't burst anyone's bubble. D: But my deepest TYs for thinking the songs were good enough to sound live recorded! Still think I need better kit to make the sounds less issue-riddled where they do (like some of the clipping or out-of-syncness some of you pointed out,) but perhaps when I get some money I'll move onto a 'real' DAW like FL Studio, see where that takes me. They were all different songs. The one that one was MMX6's Rainy Turtloid (Inami Temple) Stage. Halcyon Hare was an original song I made, just to have the sound aesthetic like a Mega Man X game, and Catamitus was the remix of the Castlevania song 'Aquarius'. Hope that cleared up any confusion. Again, thanks so much for the critiques and the thumbs up. The positive vibes made me blush and the constructive criticisms were super good and thought-provoking. I'll try to take them onboard in future projects.
And I'll try to pick something real good for the next PRC! :3

Got something submitted! It's not exactly a joke entry, but I certainly thought of TheVideoGamer when I made it. My first memory of his work was his entry in MnP 117... Let's just say that my remix sails in the morning.

Congrats on the win TVQ! Well deserved!

I always say "Taste is personal" lol

Same here.
Trying out a new subset genre of sorts (haven't tried it yet.)
Hope it comes out decent. D:

Huh, no one else mentioned that the strings sounded shrill, so I think I was being too subjective on your guys' collab.  Maybe I tried too hard to find something to critique...see why I need to take a step back?

Was meaning to ask in my vote comment, but forgot to... I need to know what Halcyon Hare's weapon get would be...

I hate to bring up a typo, but the source link says Terranigma: White Acropolis Snowy Peak.

Thanks for letting me know. I guess you know which round I used for copy pasta.

@Souperion this source was covered on the Terranigma album, in case you weren't aware and wanted to hear a different interpretation of the track!
 
 

@Trism Oh, I was quite thrilled when the album was released. I guess I forgot that this remix made it onto the website, otherwise I woulda picked another source :S

Guys it's round 420. Who's going to make the joke entry we all need?
Who's devoting himself to that noble cause?
Well not me, but I'm just sending ideas.

I might get something for that round. I'll keep an eye on it though. Nice one !

I forgot about this round until last night. Whipping up something to submit, should be able to make it in time!
