The louder, more anthemic ensemble passages really convey that sense of adventure & grand scope that made the original score so amazing (also one of my favorites!), while the introduction of chiptune & other electronic components is seamless.Mario Coin Sound Clips (SMB, SMW, SM64, Odyssey) Nothing but a fun first impression from Stephan.

Hearing the 'Star Festival' melody at 3:08 in a chiptune style was my personal highlight, along with a flawless transition of the theme back into orchestral at 3:34. In a good move by Final Smash's assistant director, getting Laura involved always makes a good thing even better. While I thought some of the transitions here weren't smooth enough, overall this was nice work by Stephan combining this group of Yokota's themes together and giving them his own spin. This keeps things melodically conservative while personalizing the orchestration approach and adding in some good, subtle chiptune touches. 'I enjoy hearing Mahito Yokota get his due in the VGM scene, as he's done a spectacular job carrying the banner as the Mario series' main composer since starting off with Super Mario Galaxy. I also appreciate the level of detail & background info the artist provided on the production & arrangement of the mix very illuminating. I hope you agree! Thanks for listening and comments would be much appreciated!'įantastic debut Shinesparkers' ' Harmony of' albums have resulted in a ton of mindblowing VGM arrangements, and we're always happy to see them submitted to OCR, especially when they're as exciting & well-executed as this energetic journey across several SMG soundtrack highlights. :) I worked very hard on this and consider it one of my best tracks to date. Here's a list of the times in which each track appears in the medley: Hope I got them to sound like the real thing! The Mario sound effects in the arrangement were recreated from scratch using the following video: It was made using Image-Line FL Studio 11, with the following plugins:Īlso, those aren't the original Mario sound effects you're hearing in the background at some points. I hope that, above all, it gets received well, as I'm sure there are a lot of fans out there who, like me, hold Super Mario Galaxy's soundtrack in high regard. Of course, it was also difficult getting a medley of various different tracks to sound cohesive, but the good news is that Super Mario Galaxy's soundtrack fits naturally well together, and with a bit of thought and playing around with key/tempo, I think I did a good job of making the medley sound like one big arrangement, rather than six little ones. Didn't get much sleep, but it was WORTH IT. So, yep, basically non-stop work to get this done. I had a hard time making it, owing to the facts that it was my first time ever playing around with chiptune, and that it was made in 30 hours spread across just over 2 days, due to a harsh deadline. There are sections which are purely chiptune, sections which are purely orchestral, and sections where both genres play together. Instead of going for a straight-up orchestral medley, I decided to spice things up a little, making it a chiptune/orchestral hybrid. fan arrangement album expansion Harmony of Heroes: Final Smash was nearing the end of development, and when I realised that there was a need for Super Mario Galaxy music in there, I took it as an opportunity to create a large medley as tribute to the soundtrack, which just about made it into the album with hours to spare. Super Mario Galaxy is not only up there in my favourite games list, but it also has hands-down my favourite video game soundtrack ever. I decided to take on the crazy task of finishing this track in a couple of days. It's a Super Mario Galaxy medley, made entirely by myself, with the exception of a fantastic flute performance by Laura Intravia, done under very short notice! In fact, this whole track was done under short notice.

'Hi, I'd like to make a submission to OC ReMix.

MOAR MARIO, as newcomer Stephan Wells, with Laura Intravia on flute, sends us a stirring & triumphant chip/orchestral arrangement of several tunes from the inspiring Super Mario Galaxy OST, off of Harmony of Heroes: Final Smash:
