OCR00835 - Super Mario RPG "Bobble Head Inspiration"

[Marmiduke]

The forest theme is a standout tune in a soundtrack of very awesome tunes, so it's a leap of faith when trying to interpret something that sounds amazing on the SNES chip into different territory. I guess that's the point of OCRemix, but in this case, I still think this song belongs on the SNES.

Regardless, this is infectious fun and I won't deny that I get very kinetic when it starts. But I think its strength is its source melody; if it were an arrangement of a song that was a quarter of the insane fun of the SMRPG Forest Theme, you may have been in trouble.

At the very least, it succeeds in supplying unadulterated joy and nostalgia. And that's pretty awesome, in my mind.

This is totally the opposite of what you expect from this song. The original was slow and sad, but this is upbeat and happy. As the pirates would say, "Well done, me bucko!"

The sample quality and pacing here makes the song pleasant enough, but a bit unmemorable. It's nice when it's going on, but once it's over it doesn't linger. I've listened a few times and had fun, but in an hour, if you'd ask me the melody, I wouldn't have any idea. The slow down at the end is classy, though.

I'm sure if you've played the game, it's much better.

I don't think I've physically outright grinned immediately upon hearing the beginning of a song. 8D This is awesome.

With the choir elements, I keep imagining the characters from Golden Sun wandering out of their game.

Agreed that the percussion could have been more up there and balanced slightly better, but still a fun, boppin' mix with enough of a beat to make me smile.
