m68030 Posted June 1, 2002 Posted June 1, 2002 Super Mario Bros. 2 'Insomnic' Kinda weird.. phased pianoy noises and a thud thud thud thud drum bit. not bad, but kinda odd. Not for everyone. Quote
Solarus Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 I can say, I like this song. In my opinion Insomnic are one of the best remixers on this site. I really like when the bass starts to flow. A terrific remix of the Super Mario Bros. 2 theme. Recommended by... Quote
Tyler Heath Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 I love this song. It's one of the few regulars on my playlist along with "Just Chill", "Mecharok", and many McVaffe works. Great work on this. Quote
skawttieboy Posted October 14, 2002 Posted October 14, 2002 I love this mix, so much crazy stuff going on. I actually was blastin' this one morning, and my fellow roommate came in and was like, "OMG, I know this song!" And we started jammin...just an overrall fun song... Quote
reelmojo Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 When I made my OCR CD, I felt that this was the only song that could follow Game Over's "Little Mac's Confession" properly. And you know what, I was right. Whenever people listen to the CD when the Game Over song ends they're always like "that was awesome, play that again" then this starts, and they say "wait.. leave this on." So apart from the fact that Mario 2 is my favorite of the series, and apart from the fact that it also has some of my favorite VG music of all time, this would be a 5 star mix anyway. Quote
Evilhead Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Man, this a just a kick ass ReMix. If any of you have missed it, give it a listen! Quote
Evilhead Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Super Mario Bros. 2 'Insomnic'Kinda weird.. phased pianoy noises and a thud thud thud thud drum bit. not bad, but kinda odd. Not for everyone. By the way, what the hell is this for a review? I happen the think the "phased pianoy noises" fucking rock! He uses the phaser quite well, I think. And "thud thud thudthud drum bit"? Maybe a four on the floor house beat? 4/4? Anyway, this must be one of your ealier reviews... Quote
Duos_Acolyte Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 its all good i like it from the bass, piano, techno overall is good i just liked the theme from when i played this game (I still do) and i like the way he made it dance style. even included underground music, then return to the main theme excellent job.

MonkeyHead79 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 BEST. REMIX. EVER. And the bounciest, most energetic tune in my OCR library. A complete overhaul of the level 1 and underground themes from the game, using very spiced up techno instruments. I've listened to it a hundred times and it never gets old! I didn't like the underground segment quite as much as the level 1 segment, but it helps keep it from sounding repetitive. Eleventeen thumbs up for this one! Quote
ShiroiHikari Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I really like this mix after it really gets going at about the :49 mark It's pretty good. Including the underground theme was a cool idea too, but it feels a little awkward to me because the beat doesn't change...oh well, good job Quote
Rayza Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Well I just downloaded the (almost) 1000 tunes from the OCR BitTorrent and deleted all the ones I didn't want and was left with less than 100.. I found that this tune has tons of energy, great to listen to and brings back the nostalgic vibe right away.. Great mix.. Quote
GregHead Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I only thought it was ok the first time I heard it, but it has totally grown on me. It has the Triforce of everything I want in an OC Remix: - Lively and Upbeat (as opposed to dreary, slow, and ambient) - Avoids monotony by throwing in another song halfway through - no generic and/or annoying instruments I really like this remix Quote
Vash the Stampede Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 Oh yeah man. This ReMix is deffinalty all that its been made out to be!! Never gotten tired of hearing this one, it just, POPS! Kudos man, I really liked it! Quote
JH Sounds Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 Yeah, I thought it wasn't as great as djpreztel made it out to be, until that bass kicked in. Whoa. From then on, it hooked me in. I also like that secondary tune Insomnic put in too, fills it in a bit. All in all, great ReMix. Quote
NessTheHero Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 This is a really great Remix. Super Mario 2 always freaked me out for some reason. I think it was the flying faces and crap. Damn flying faces. I sooooooo want to learn to play this song on the piano. Quote
jordex Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 whoa, djps dying over this song Its great, its got djps style but i think he should still do a remix of this as well! My main complaint with the song, the kick drum sounds more like an instrument that isn't in tune with the rest of the song rather than a kick drum Quote
Wallace Guyford Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Wow is this lame. Original song but with techno patches and a techno beat. Instrumentation is almost completely unchanged except for the weak bass line. Is this really all it takes to get on the site? It sounds like something an amateur would post in the WIP forum after spending 30 minutes with the FruityLoops demo. Quote

Are you aware that this was posted before a panel or a standard existed? This would NEVER pass today. I agree. This is crap. I'm so glad we have higher standards now. First of all, the original track is bouncy. To make a super bouncy remix is just plain annoying. There are virtually no original variations on or even rearrangements of the theme. Virtually every element of this mix seems bothersome and repetitive. Nothing develops, nothing builds, nothing fades, and all that's here is a dynamicless, pointless, droning mix (in that respect it reminds me of 80s metal). When you analyze the track patterns closely, you can easily see that this was a practice mix using FL studio. The exact same set of loops is used everywhere, and the only background effect loops mindlessly without any correlation to the music. Quote
Ayres Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Wow! This is a fantastic remix! I completely agree with djpretzel in that this is certainly in my top ten, if not 5, favorite songs on this site! Really great! Fanatastic! Superflous! (you get the idea...) Quote
Balinor Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Just because it isn't full of super-fancy and complex loops and sounds doesn't mean its not a good song. The greatness of this song comes out of its simplicity. It takes a really good tune and gives it some flavor. Insomnic does a great job of putting the spice on this awesome meal of a song. Quote
nitroXpress Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I love this song because it really lifts your mood. I don't know, this is a fun song, and the transition in this song is excellent. Quote
JH Sounds Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 http://phanto4prez.ytmnd.com/ The dream is now a reality. Quote
Mariofreak Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 This song is great, no other way to put it, well done. Liked the midsection and the return to the basic melody at the end, very good. Quote
