Guts Man (really old)

Legend of the Lost Spatula - Rock Bottom (Banjo-Kazooie style)

Pokémon Snap - Valley (8-bit VRC6)

Mega Man: Shattered Diamond - Quarry Man (Unused)

Somebody had a really good 2A03 rendition of this song but their account is sadly lost to the ages. But I think this song is great and converts well to 8-bit (maybe because the composer is well-known for chiptune). I think it sounds kinda like Mole Mania.

Spongebob: Supersponge - Cavernous Canyons (2A03)

Mega Man 2 - Bubble Man (DKC remix)

It's October! You know what that means, right? Spooky songs! 

This, combined with the fact that I've been watching a lot of pannenkoek2012 lately, led me to this cover. It's fashioned after Big Boo's Haunt.

Super Mario Maker - SMB1/3 Ghost House (Super Mario 64 remix)

It's officially fall (or autumn) and you know what happens in fall? Wind! Too much of it, in fact! 

So to commemorate the season, I've covered Wind Man's theme as part of my very first multi-chip endeavor (technically any expansion with 2A03 is "multi-chip" but whatever).

Also I dunno if any of you noticed but I got a new avatar. It was made by cionaodh (who also drew the previous one).

Mega Man 6 - Wind Man (Famitracker VRC6 + 3-N163)

It’s Gourmet Race! But not that one, the other one!

Confession: I haven’t played a Kirby game since Return to Dream Land. But I think I’m getting Planet Robobot for Christmas, and I hear that’s good.

Kirby Super Star - Gourmet Race 2 (Famitracker 2A03)

Welcome to Holiday Month! 

I started out with a Freeze Man cover because he's chilly, and I used Sonic Advance 2 samples because I always thought his song sounded like something from a Sonic Advance game (even though Freeze Man existed before the GBA did, don't question it).

Mega Man 7 - Freeze Man (Sonic Advance 2 remix)

When was the last time I covered a non-video game song? It’s been a while.

Anyway, Holiday Month continues, and here you get another song for the occasion. At least it’s not Jingle Bell Rock, or one of the dozen similar-sounding songs they play non-stop at department stores.

Silent Night (VRC6 remix)

I kinda dropped the ball on the whole “release something on Christmas” thing but hey, what can ya do?

I’m a bit of a Smash junkie, so Rivals of Aether is a game that appeals to me because it’s basically indie Melee. But I’m merely a spectator because I don’t have an Xbone and I’m too cheap to buy a new PC controller.

Rivals of Aether

Rivals of Aether - Fight and Flight (Air Armada) [2A03]

Sonic The Hedgehog 3

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 - Carnival Night Zone (MM7)

Popcorn. A classic song. I used this opportunity to branch out of my comfort zone a little, using a lot of different instrument ideas than what I normally deal with. Big Slappy is not mine though, that's from commandycan I believe.

Music to Moog By

Gershon Kingsley - Popcorn (4-N163)

Oh boy it's Jewel Man!

I always thought Jewel Man's theme was low-key bangin' so I tried to do a heavier, stripped-back MMX cover for him.

Mega Man 9

Mega Man 9 - Jewel Man (SNES MMX remix)

NOW DO CLASSICAL GAS (8-bit FamiTracker MMC5)

I heard a song in Wal-Mart yesterday that sounded a lot like Flash Man's theme but I haven't been able to identify it. However, it did inspire me to make this.

Mega Man 2

Mega Man 2 - Flash Man (VRC6 + 3-N163)

Here's the theme of Balrog, or M. Bison, or Boxer, or my personal favorite Barlog, from Street Fighter 2. Hopefully it's not too busy since I tried to cram as much backing stuff as possible into one channel.

Street Fighter II

Street Fighter 2 - Balrog's Theme (2A03)

Somebody in the comments of the OST video Sega posted said that this song sounded kinda like a Mega Man song and I thought "yeah maybe a little bit" so I made this remix.

Because I had to rely completely on my ear to do this, I had to take a few liberties / fudge stuff I couldn't figure out. Also I made it loop prematurely because it fades out in the video and instead of trying to figure out where the song goes after that I figured "screw it".

Sonic Forces - Park Avenue (Custom Character) [2A03]

MM2GB's main theme has a nice melody but I always thought it was a little too bare-bones for Mega Man, so with this remix I tried to have more stuff going on in the background. Plus it's a good chance to use some of those MM7 samples I haven't used before.

Huge thanks to Jasper Valentine's 2A03 rendition of this theme, I used it for a reference.

Also credit due to BarylTDF for his outstanding MM7 Quint sprite (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Quint-MM7-style-188337745)

Mega Man 2 (GB)

Mega Man 2 (Game Boy) - Main Theme [MM7 remix]

What better day to upload a song from a fighting game than during EVO Sunday? 

This was originally created for a collab, but unfortunately that didn't pan out. So instead, I'll just post it here.

MP3: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xa11n95v1hsda0g/Controlling%20Transmission.mp3?dl=0

Also, a particularly interesting game dropped on Friday... maybe you'll see a cover from that soon?

Killer Instinct

Killer Instinct - Glacius Theme (VRC6+VRC7 remix)

Hey it’s Plant Man!

So I made this because I haven’t actually made any new content for my YouTube channel since I’ve been so busy with collabs. I even went the extra mile and added stereo in post.

Mega Man 6 - Plant Man (VRC6 + 3-N163)

Hey what’s up here’s a Castlevania cover for Halloween! Hopefully this wicked child is more pleasing than the one that eggs your house every year.

Anywhomst, Super Mario Odyssey is out and I imagine most of you are still off playing that. Must be nice, having a Switch. 😔

Castlevania - Wicked Child [MMC5]

Man I have wanted to cover Dave's Theme from Maniac Mansion NES forever but I always got scared away by the beat and the guitar solos. I finally managed to do it though.

Maniac Mansion - The Boys Are Still Back (Dave's Theme) [SNES MMX remix]

It's December, so here's a snowy theme for everybody to enjoy! It hues pretty closely to the NES version arrangement-wise but I borrowed some small ideas from the Remastered version of the track.

Sidebar: any of y'all see the DuckTales reboot? It's pretty good I like it.

DuckTales - The Himalayas [VRC6 + 4-N163]

A gungaroo from me to you! 

I know this isn't December-y at all but there's actually several reasons I decided to cover this song: 

1) It's just a good song 
2) They recently announced Mega Man X Legacy Collection which will have all 8 main MMX games, and it's on the Switch so they're portable now! 
3) For years I've been wanting to do a cover of this song that used triangle kicks

Mega Man X7 - Vanishing Gungaroo [VRC6 + 3-N163]

So here's a fun fact: I only heard this song for the first time today. I don't play a lot of Street Fighter. (shrug)

Street Fighter Alpha 2 - Sakura's Theme [2A03]

What's black and white and ready to fight? Top Man!

I've never really been able to really get into blues-key-centric music but I thought maybe there was something here I could work with. I wasn't even really planning to use MMX samples but the brass and slap bass are really good for this kind of song.

Mega Man 2 (Game Boy) - Top Man [MMX remix]

You craved it! You clamored for it! It's...... MORE MM2GB! Until I get bored of it again.

I picked Mega Man X2 samples for this cover since I hadn't used those in a while. Also the sax sample is really nice.

Shout out to Jasper Valentine, who's 2A03 cover made for a nice reference, and I even stole a couple of his flourishes. ;)

Mega Man 2 (Game Boy) - Metal Man [MMX2 remix]

Hey what's up, first new original composition of the year!

Anyway uhhh I don't have much to say about this one. I made it last night but I didn't post it because I went to bed, and also 2am probably isn't the ideal video posting time. I really like it though.

original - Mood Lighting [OpenMPT]

hey what's up i did another original song, this one's another lo-fi kinda song, but with more variety than my last attempt. i tried using a lot of the samples, effects, and VSTs i've gathered over the last couple weeks in this one.

original - Aquarium [MPT]

I usually do Street Fighter covers in a 2A03 Mega Man sort of style but I wanted to do something different for a groovy theme like Zangief's. I think it turned out okay.

Street Fighter 2 - Zangief's Theme [VRC6]

original - Eating Sand [VRC7]

REUPLOAD: Instead of complaining about the high octave I just lowered it instead. Practical.

Anyway I've always wanted to do this song in 8-bit but never have because... I dunno. The melody towards the end of the song is so good and it makes this song really special imo.

Shout out to DRMARIOX for the Mario Kart sprite. Check it out here: https://mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb&param=02&c=1&id=18374
