Super Mario Bros. Soundtrack [VRC6 Arrangements]

Музыка

Yes, I like video games. ^^
Super Mario Bros. is a very unique game, even within its own franchise. It's a technical game where you need to manage your speed, jumping height, trajectory and other aspects very tightly in order to succeed in overcoming the various platforming challenges. Even compared to its later iterations, the restricted movement within this game makes it fun to play even today.
The music in this arrangement was made for fun, not for profit. I don't intend to fight copyright battles. I know the big N is stingy with its music these days, but I'm still gonna upload if somebody were to like the work I did. As far as I'm concerned, feel free to use this music in your own projects if you'd like to; but as always I would really appreciate if you told me. I'm always interested to see your work. ^^
This was arranged using Famitracker and various samples for drum effects. It's arranged for the VRC6 expansion chip, which means that this can be exported to be played back on real hardware. Thanks for stopping by!

    Hello world; I'm not yet dead! Returning to this video is quite an experience, at the moment of writing there are 30.000 of you who found your way here; with 100 of those leaving comments and over a thousand likes. I'm honored and humbled that so many found my work enjoyable! Even seeing it popping up in a few fan projects over the years fills me with joy and gratitude! 😄 The purpose of this letter is twofold; for newcomers, welcome aboard! To those of you who patiently await new uploads; I'm sorry to have disappointed you. When changes happen in real life, sometimes you have to step back from your hobby projects. At this time I'm not yet ready to upload more covers, but I am alive and well. When I see this level of commitment and passion from you, inspiration and gratitude fills me. And just to clarify; YES! You have my consent to use these in any way you like. This is the internet and my covers are a drop in this vast ocean. I make no claims to these videos, it's just a love letter and a tribute. Thank you all very much! ❤

    The addition of a dissonant chord to the "hurry up" version of the overworld theme is such a perfect addition that I'll forever be surprised that it's not in the original version.

    4:40 This is proof that having a faster tempo is not enough to create tension in an otherwise happy overworld platforming theme. You need rapid pedal notes in the bass and diminished chords in the melody (pretty sure those are diminished chords there, music theorists feel free to correct me) to really feel a sense of urgency...which you did really well! My only real criticism is that these methods used in the overworld theme waeren't apparent in the underwater theme or the dungeon theme. That would've been sick hearing some sort of spooky counterpoint happening in the triangle wave, or even more chaotic duty-cycle moduation in the pulse wave. Regardless, I loved this VRC6 arrangement! If you're still doing stuff like this, can't wait to hear more
