Always love when Mario Kart Tour makes a new city track because you always make a great remix for the song

My Enhanced Nintendo MIDI collection consists of MIDI files I sequenced and routed through my Yamaha Motif ES8 keyboard, utilising its rather nice-sounding General MIDI samples. The staff view was played with Cakewalk Express and the presentation was recorded with CamStudio. All instruments use the standard MIDI patches unless otherwise noted. To follow the notes in the sequence and to ensure the best sound quality, viewing full screen in 720p (HD) is strongly advised.

Played directly on the title screen of Yoshi's Story, this well-known theme recently made a comeback in remixed form for Yoshi Lake in Mario Golf: World Tour.  Originally written for the SoundBlaster AWE32/AWE64 soundfont in 1998, the singing Yoshis simply couldn't be recreated well.  The bottle blow seemed like a good substitute for the melody, so that change seemed to make for a decent transcription.  However, plans changed when some ideas hit me.

Much like other sources for arrangements, this song felt like it could use some additional instruments.  At first, I tried out some conga beats and an original bass line, but the refrain seemed wide open for piano improv.  Some whimsical vibraslap strikes seemed in order, too.  With all of these elements combined with the iconic Yoshi singing and complementary bottle blow harmony, the song feels more complete, happy, and tropical.  Maybe this is what the song could sound like if it were a part of the upcoming Yoshi's Woolly World!

Enhanced Game MIDIs: "Yoshi's Story (Arranged)" (Title Theme) from Yoshi's Story

My first track on SoundCloud. Here, I cover the SMB1 ghosthouse theme from Super Mario Maker, but this time using actual instruments from Super Mario Bros, because to me, it didn't feel like an actual SMB1 theme without the instrumentation from the real game. I plan to do some more covers from other games using SMB1's instruments if I have the time and patience to do such things.

Super Mario Maker - SMB1 Ghosthouse (with Native SMB1 Instruments)

This is my third track on here and my first in a series of tracks done in the instrumentation and style of Super Mario Bros. 3, because why the heck not, since SMB3 is one of my favorite games and I always loved the instrumentation in that game. My first track in this series will be the Metal Max Battle Theme, done with SMB3 instruments. Hope you enjoy it.

Metal Max - Battle Theme (SMB3 2A03 Remix)

Hoi! This is my second track done in the style of Super Mario Bros. 3. This is one of a few songs in the game that are classified as being one of my favorites, so I wanted to do a remix of it, sort of as a proof of concept, if you will. This is what the track would've sounded like if Mario was actually put into the game, or if there was a hack of SMB3 where you would play as Frisk. Either way, both ideas would be awesome to see. Recorded using real NES hardware using the NES PowerPak. If I have enough time on my hands, I might do another Undertale track in this style if I wanted to. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it. Also, I noticed that some notes are not correct compared to the original. Sorry about that. I also changed the overall key of the song to be a key higher than the original on purpose.

Undertale - Run! (SMB3 Remix)

Oh look! Another SMB3-styled track!
This is another track from Undertale, done in the style of Super Mario Bros. 3, again. This plays when encountering an enemy in Hard Mode. This was made with knowledge of the original track, so if some parts are wrong, I'm sorry. I have another Undertale track in the works at the moment, so hopefully when I'm done with that I will upload it too.
EDIT: Thank you guys for so many likes! It means a lot! In fact, I think it's time I reveal how I did this one, as well as my other Undertale track, Run! I used FamiTracker and an SMB instrument pack I found. This pack had all the instruments that SMB3 used such as the music box instrument used when putting a map enemy to sleep in SMB3. This pack also contained instruments from SMB1 and SMB2 (will have to use the SMB2 set in another track, but don't know which one would fit the style). Then an NSF (NES Sound Format) file is exported within FamiTracker itself, and is then copied onto my NES Power Pak cart. So in theory, one could use this in an SMB3 Undertale-themed hack. I will upload the NSF files that were used in the creation of these two Undertale tracks soon, so that you too can listen to the tracks as well.

Undertale - Stronger Monsters (SMB3 2A03 Remix)

The first in my latest "Jazz:Rouge" collection of arranged remixes paying homage to Rouge the Bat's sexy jazz themes from Sonic Adventure 2.

The Egg Quarters theme is particularly dear to my heart and was the origin point for this entire project (I really wanted to learn the chords). Kenichi Tokoi's original composition, as well as Atsushi "Sushi" Kosugi's expert production, not to mention a stellar group of instrumentalists, all contributed to the sensual, yet uniquely otherworldly feeling that the original track oozes (in spite of the scary beetle robot!).

Sexy, sensual and profoundly spiritual - that's what Lovely Gate 3 and the rest of Rouge's music represent for all those who have played the game. Enjoy :)

Super Mario Maker 2 - SMB1 Forest(Game Boy Z80 Cover)

This is a cover of the Super Mario Maker snow theme when the game style is set to the original Super Mario Bros.

Program Used: Impulse Tracker (MS-DOS)

Super Mario Maker 2 - SMB1 Snow (Fake NES 8-Bit Cover)

It's been a long while since I've shared a "personal favorite" with you all here on the SoundCloud regarding Super Nintendo music style arrangements that I've done for my beloved music operations as a whole. And we can add a new one to the list here... this newest one targets the "Los Angeles Laps" course music as heard in "Mario Kart Tour"! 

I believe you'll love listening to this SNES music styled cover just as much as I enjoyed doing the arrangement process for it (by the way, this uses the SNES music instrument set heard in "Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge", as done by Geoff & Tim Follin from LJN/Software Creations).

More details about this posting itself (and the file link where you're able to download the tune itself) can be viewed here: http://www.mc-mmg-homebase.com/index.php?show=archives&p=295

Thanks in advance for your support on these endeavors of mine including my addition of this song, everyone; I hope you enjoy this just as much as I did my arrangement procedures here. I'm out.
