It's time to party in the jungle! This arrangement, originally written in 2012, was one of the most-viewed and commented of the old videos on this channel, so it seemed high time for an enhanced remake! This brand-new version features outstanding professional musicians from both Canada and the US, and is expanded from 7 musicians into a "mini big band" of 11 players (plus a lot of percussion!). This is our biggest project yet and it took about 4 months to complete... Enjoy!

While there have been several iterations in the Super Smash Bros. series, many would agree that Melee remains the quintessential Smash experience – and it certainly featured some of the most memorable musical themes of them all! This medley includes “Opening”, “Menu 1”, and “Final Destination”, as well as a few other musical Easter eggs from Melee and Brawl (can you find them all?).

Our ultimate rendition of gaming’s most iconic anthem of adventure! Based on “Title” and “Overworld” from The Legend of Zelda (composed by Koji Kondo), this version takes some rhythmic inspiration from the Super Smash Bros. Brawl version (arr. Shogo Sakai), and incorporates “Open Treasure Chest” from Ocarina of Time (Koji Kondo),  as well as “Overworld” from Link’s Awakening (composers Kazumi Totaka, Minako Hamano & Kozue Ishikawa).

One of the most catchy and groovy video game themes ever written! We are pleased to present an updated performance of this classic, complete with screaming trumpets and an epic guitar solo. This ultimate version of Bob-omb Battlefield was partially inspired by "Throwback Galaxy" from Super Mario Galaxy 2, and also includes a couple of nods to the 2003 "Mario & Zelda Big Band Live" arrangement.
