Joe Redifer Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Super Mario Bros. 'Super Jungle Brothers' It's the main Super Mario Bros. theme with cool percussion and some nice electronic processing effects. It sounds nice and smooth. Nothing groundbreaking, but it is a good listen and it's always nice to hear the Mario theme. I like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skawttieboy Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 This is truly a VERY well-done mix. Sure, it's the main theme, but it's the main theme DONE WELL! Hampton truly does an amazing job making this mix. Everything flows absolutely PERFECTLY! This is up there on my all time favorites list! If you don't have it, I don't know why you're still reading this, GO GET IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScytheML Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Folks, THIS is a remix done right. Not much more I can say. It's just SO good. excellent drums. Subtle, however present remix combined with an excelent choice of leads just bring this mix right home. Anyone who would even think of making their own mix should sit with this one a couple of hours and make a list of what makes this mix one of the best ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negro_Jones Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Phat good mix.way to stick to the orignal track kudos to you fo show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassivePretentiousness Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 This one's alright, but I think djp overrated another. There are simply better smb remixes out there. There's (them) techno effects everywhere to be seen, but they seem to be used to give an excuse to derivate the melody for the purose of extending it. The rest of the instrumentation is wonderfully accomplished, however. I recommend it, but not very strongly. 5/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Of mArc Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Hmmm... Well, it's exactly what it says it is: A Jungle ReMix. It's very synthy.... and basically repeats the main melody over and over synth jungle style. It sometimes changes keys, but it really could use some variety. As stands, it's not bad, but it doesn't really stand out to me as anything special. Edit: Alright, listening to it again, I have to give him Sound Effects and Drum Credits. He obviously worked hard on those, and they are quite good. All other comments stick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirLouie Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Does anyone else have this as the Super Mario Bros 1_1 Hampton OC ReMix? Can anyone say when or why the name changed? I found this mix simple but enjoyable. It's a good mix to roll your head around while thumping out a solid beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Though this is certainly not very creative in terms of arranegment (in fact, it's not creative at all), the production values are good. The artist here knew what he was doing in terms of mastering and instrumentation, and he at least should get some credit for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdude255 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Yeah, its a straight remix, but its pulled off extremely well, and is worth listening to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Vagabond Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Theres a certain lure to the straight foward remixes. Its just nice to hear the songs how they may of ended up sounding if the nintendo didn't have less power than a cellphone when it comes to sound.

dj muffin man Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Very modern class sound the drums are good, as Joe said a good listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaJonny Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Ahhhhhhhh, yeas. A good song. Wow this sounds so good compared to "Da Pipes". Try listenin to that first, then listen to this. You'll feel like a fat man on a beanbag chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 This song is kind of simple with no suprises. And It sounds more like breaks than jungle to me; the drums don't sound hard enough to be jungle. The sound quality is on par, and this song is straight to the point. But it's not worthy enough to stay on my playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip is uh..... Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Great stuff. I have no idea what Jungle is so I cant really complain about this peice not being jungle. Wait a sec... it isn't jungle! WTF!? My musical ignorance aside its a solid mix. It doesnt leave much to the imagination , and the key change was kind lame but its still solid. Good work!

Kilron Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I know most remixes are supposed to stray from the original a little more than this does, but some people do so much that it ends up ruining the original. I like this one a lot. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindFox Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Wow, I still have the old 1998 ImpuleTracker version of this one. Still one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vagrance Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 When I saw Jungle Remix I thought "finally, I've been waiting for a decent DnB remix!" Then I realized this isn't DnB/Jungle at ALL. In fact,almost no one here can probably tell me what DnB or Jungle is because this sure as hell ain't it. To be honest this is just a boring remix with a boring amen, I don't see how this got past evaluation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjarrington Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 this song is awesome. listen not to the naysayers. it made me laugh. just don't take it too seriously and you'll enjoy it immensely... it's too silly not to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spazdor Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Yeah, this is definitely not D'nB. Monotonous breakbeat, a total of 3 synth voices throughout the entire track. Hint: To be DnB/Jungle, you should have a BPM of AT LEAST 155. 170 or 180 is more typical of the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 The drums are interesting and well done, and the bass does some cool tricks, but the arrangement is really bland otherwise. Midi + excellent drums still is midi + drums. It's really old though, so I think dwelling on it is counterproductive. I'd love to hear a completely nuts version of this source though.

Liontamer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yep, not a groundbreaking arrangement, but the bar for interpretation was a lot lower at the time with OCR being less than a year old. That said, Chris did a great job achieving a more personalized, unique sound for the theme, which is why it earned its place in ye olden days. A conservative, but still fun spin on a classic.

Crulex Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 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.

Tables Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I mean, for something so conservative and simple, it at least sounds fine. Production-wise, this could be OCR01081. There's some flashes of what this could have been, towards the end especially where it goes off the rails a bit, and I'm disappointed that it didn't take more of those risks. Or any other risks (although the key change was sorta neat I guess). Then again I guess not every Overworld remix can be Dirty Mix :v (... nor should they be! as fun as that would have been).
