This is a practise run in Famitracker to understand the software back in 2012. This was the first thing to make it through the door in full!

I chose Yoshi Touch and Go because Yoshi is still be favourite video game character after all these years.

Flower Garden - Yoshi Touch and Go

The second practise run in Famitracker turned out like so. I explored a slower track to see if I can work with it. Here's the result.

Linebeck's Theme - Zelda Series

I jumped back to a faster track to 'chiptunify'. After finally understanding Famitracker's tools a little better, I was more easily able to loop certain patterns, and cut some short.

The joys of gaining experience!

Title Theme - New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Listen to the full 'Retro Version v1.0' for free right here on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/gyoshimusic/sets/retro-version-v1-0

If I had a 2018 take on this track, it would sound like this: https://soundcloud.com/chiptogram/wonderful-world-of-wool-6-yoshis-woolly-world-8bitmix

This was the most complex chiptune I put back in 2012, or at least it sounded it at the time.

Still having fallen in love with faster tracks, I tried to dissect the original found in Kirby's Epic Yarn and worked from there. A lot of this track was complete guesswork as I didn't find anyone doing this in chiptune mode online.

Outer Rings - Kirby's Epic Yarn

After being overly pre-occupied as a software engineer, I finally grabbed my MIDI keyboard and Famitracker again to do something slightly different with chiptunes. Only slightly, though.

Inspired by the variants found for the Nintendoland Plaza theme, I worked towards making this well known Super Mario World track into a slower, swing, night-themed piece. This is the result!

Overworld Theme (Night) - Super Mario World

The first chiptune I've put together which wasn't Nintendo-related. I wanted to experiment on 'retrofying' something faster and more complex, and came across this in my music archive.

So, gave it a go!

Puzzle Time - Popplings

A piece composted in Famitracker for the initial series of The Game Skip. I wanted to keep it basic and cheerful to start things off!
This track was used in the ending of Season 1, which mixes all the shorter tracks together which were used throughout the series.

The Game Skip Season 1 Theme

RGB is my soon-to-be first "OST" album for a make-believe video game, where I mix in pure chiptune to remember the simpler days of games.

Not the first track in my new OST, but certainly one that I was happy to release first. This one is inspired by the earlier adventure games on the NES, none in particular. It's more of an amalgamation.

If you wish to use this track in any way, please just ask. I don't bite!


RGB - Strolling the Hills

This was a monolith of a track for me to pull together in Famitracker, but it is done!

This is essentially a remix of a remix...originally from Space Harrier. This remix is based on the variant used in the Japanese Master System BIOS v2.1, where the tune is much cleaner, and personally, easier listening.

If you wish to use this music as part of something else, just ask! I don't bite :)

SEGA Master System JP BIOS 2.1 (Space Harrier)

Harder to recognise if you haven't played the entirety of the 'Lightning Saga' (as they're calling it). I heard this gem in the 3rd installation of Final Fantasy XIII, hidden away amongst the [really, really] majestic Wildlands music. This track plays in the Moogle Village, only accessible at night.

Of course a Chiptune variant had to exist!

If you plan to use this in other works, let me know! I like seeing where it ends up :)

A Carefree Existence - Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

I felt like there was a lack of decent chiptuning of this track, so I thought I should create one myself! This is the result!

It's the first time I've experimented in changing the tempo in the middle of a track. Feedback is welcome on this!

As the track was a very, very simple loop, I thought I'd throw in a bit of variety, letting the track build then fade away again.

If you wish to use this track in another piece of work, just let me know! I don't bite :)

Menu Select/Fairy Fountain - Zelda Series

Let's begin the second album with a big number! I bring you my variant of Hyrule Castle, originally heard from Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

This track could've been interpreted in so many ways...in fact, Nintendo have done plenty themselves. I decided to give it more of an action feel to it. It's also the first time I've properly played with pitch bending!

How about a rag for a change!?

This one comes from Final Fantasy VI, when you are walking about the Opera House. It just sounded so cheerful in contract to the previous track that I had to do it!

This is a chiptune/8-bit take on the infamous Yoshi's Island adventure intro. Everything I hear this, I get chills down my spine. I hope to have kept this effect in the retrofied version.

Intro (Yoshi's Island) - 8bit Mix

Track 2 of practice album Dinosaur Land. We visit the Woolly World!

I loved this game. Everything made you smile, even the bosses! This one focuses on everyone's favourite masked buddy, Shy Guys. It seriously looked like they were enjoying life in this game.

This is the point where we speed up, so next track drop will be Wednesday 2nd May 2018.

Shy But Deadly (Yoshi's Woolly World) - 8bit Mix

Track 4/14. We now return to where it all really kicked off for Yoshi, back on Yoshi's Island, on his first full level. Welcome to Flower Garden!

This is where the original Yoshi fans really started to pick up. I was in that batch :)

I added a little something from the Smash Bros Melee version of this track as well, because I could.

In the original build I put of this, the swing notes were horribly off. I'm hoping this final one sounds correct. Let me know your thoughts :)

8/14 We're off to 'New' Island today.

Famitracker composition on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/?v=zZCWo45Q_M8

I still don't like that phase where Nintendo felt the urge to label everthing 'New'....I mean, 'New' Super Mario Bros is over 10 years 'old' now.

Nonethelss, I've picked Overworld from this OST. Reason? This game probably has the most single-track-remixes in any Yoshi game, meaning they all sounded similar anyway. So, why not pick the [probably] original one of the lot?

14/14 You have made it to the end! Here is the last track in this series.

I read somewhere that the original name of this track was 'Sayonara'. It ended up being used in the Scrapbook Theatre in the game, but it still felt like a 'just' ending.

Thank you for following me through this album! If you liked any of these, please remember to follow!
