I used three N163 channels for the "guitar" sound, then ran them through an amp simulator in my DAW, so no, this isn't purely FamiTracker, but I made the song fully in FamiTracker before adding the stereo effects. I hope you enjoy it.

Kraid's Lair (FamiTracker with effects)

Man, I have so many great memories playing Super Smash Bros. with some old childhood friends and even some alone just playing versus three level 9 opponents as Captain Falcon, Ganondorf or Kirby. Cheesing people with a Falcon Punch is always hilarious. And Kirby is just cute as always, as well as deadly.

There are so many great tracks from this GameCube classic, Brinstar and Mother included but the transitions in this track are what make it one of my favourites. Bringing in that choir section halfway through and then knocking everyone for six with the slightly off-beat piano triplets I want to say, although I'm not entirely sure of the correct terminology. Like when you play a chord but the individual notes are staggered across the bars.

I tried my best to match the synths and samples where I could. I think the lead sections throughout the track were actually quite authentic but the percussion samples were a bit lackluster here. Mostly down to my own incompetence and lack of knowledge but also that LMMS isn't really the program to be combining and creating now percussion sounds with its limited instruction set. In the future, I'd like to create my own samples again like I have done in the past, extract those into something like Audacity for manipulation and then a final import into LMMS for mixing.

Arcadia X - Highway To Arcadia

LYRICS:
below the ocean
there's a deep burning fire
beneath the ebb and flow
a core that is breathing
will we ever stop
and wonder what's beneath the surface
will we even reach
will we even reach the furnace
below the ocean sky
