WesPip Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Ooh, the first New SMB remix. First off, I like the slight distortion. Reminds me of vinyl, which seems suitable to me, considering the nature of NSMB in itself. The part starting around 1:20 reminds me of Sonic for whatever reason. Same goes for around 1:45. Digging the scratching about 2/3 of the way through. As a whole, I think this mix does a great job of combining the old meets new style of NSMB. Plus it just sounds good. edit: Whoa, epic. Not only is this the first review in this topic, but it was coincidentally my 5000th post. EPIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 It is about time this got posted here. A great christmas gift to those who have not listened to it. Glad to see this get posted. This is a great mix. Good job, homie g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petara Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 yeah, man... this is fuuuun. A tad bit rough sounding for my taste, but that's just me and it certainly does not stop me from enjoying it immensly. Nice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLiterate Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 This one has been on ReMix: Tha Sauce for a while and I knew it was going to end up here. The mix of chiptune, hip hop and the sound you'd expect from Mario is just brilliant. Huge props on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I YES'ed this mix once, and I'd YES it again. Sooooooooooooo good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeron Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 ...too much reverb in places. Aside from that, terrific remix. I've been wanting for a NSMB remix for awhile. Now where are all the Twilight Princess remixes?? Come on folks... Midna's theme is just ASKIN' for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladiator Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Quality right here. The mix of sonic devices all of a sudden at 1:36 after the more simplistic straightforward rendition of the mario themes really hit the spot. Everyone loves a good scratchy vinyl fx as long as you don't wear it out. This piece was all types of groovin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brim Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I like it, the intro got me and I'm digging this funky stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hale-Bopp Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 This track is fun! Just like the original too! Man, so many colorful things going on here. It's a good thing I have a sweet tooth, because there's a lot of ear candy to be had. Even beyond that, I'm really enjoying the soloing and how the remixer knows what makes a beat tasty and enjoyable to listen to for minutes on end. Speaking of the end, it came before I expected it. I wanted more of what I was hearing for the last minute. Perhaps that'd be overkill to some, but I really do have a thing going on for the original track, especially ever since hearing Koji perform it live at the video games music concert in Chicago. Watching Koji bob and weave his head throughout the song as he jammed out is a memory unlike any other and which I'll never let go. This track brought that vibe and memory back just a little bit stronger. Happy times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady zelda Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I totally second what everyone else has said. This mix is full of flavor and character. I love how you fit so many different themes and ideas into it. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-RoN Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Yes, old skool vibes are awesome here especially when incorporating some of the NES arps! That gets you high points right there. I especially loved in terms of composition the way you blended all Mario themes here including the pulling down of the flag. Excellent work. BTW Are some of those beats Magix Musik Maker 7 samples? I've gotten rid a those a long time ago after my second mix here and my first VGMix 2 release (which has the second beat which starts at 0:09). Ah, well, it's not the samples that I'm judging. It's the way you used them. I'd reccomend limiting the royalty free loops from E-Jay or Magix and just make your own beats. Other than that, awesome. Woo, ho hooo, yahooooo! I love it! Toodles! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremespleen Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 This is one of the few mixes that's really really held my attention. I relish listening to it and I'm sad when it ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I love this mix. Its quirky and a bit odd, which honestly is exactly what Mario is. I find it just really fun to listen to, and something different from what I find to be the usual on the site. Highly recommended for anybody looking for something a bit 'different.'

Balinor Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Awesome mix. I love it, it's groovy. Very easy to listen to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 This is a great song, very enjoyable. I dig the vinyl flavour in the beginning, simply because I am a sucker for that effect. Adds a lot of atmosphere. The only thing annoying me slightly is the effect that sounds like a bunch of keys rattling, starting at 1:07 (until ~1:35). The scratching part starting at 2:42 is pure awesome, and gets even better from 2:52 on. Incredible. The raising-of-the-flag bit at the end just rounds it all up. Nice work, I hope to hear more of your work soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Person Man Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Ahh super groovy! 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum4n After All Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 This is best SMB Remix I have ever listened to. I love it when the Underground level kicks in then it gets a little extreme. And the ending, just perfect. Good form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroZ Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 This one is great. Darn, can't sit still. Changes alot in variation of sounds and different instruments. Love that square-solo at 2:14. Mm.. Tweaking and just living it out. Gj Mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villainelle Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I keep finding myself looking for this specifically when listening to my VG remix playlist. So much energy, creativity, fun - great track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
your the man now dog Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 this is such a baller remix. i live for 2:50 onward. great job using lots of unique mario themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleuVII Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 This song has been on my playlist for at least 2 months, which is something of a record in my book. The only mix to achieve that before was Star Salzman's "Pillar of Salt." I just have to say, this mix just has a quality that others don't. Easily the best SMB remix on the sight. I love the "death theme" acting as a transition at 0:55. That was enough to sell me on the song from the start. I look forward to hearing the next piece you do Jredd.
