Mostly based on Symphonia, though I borrowed a couple of elements from the Tales of Phantasia version.

Tales of Symphonia - Fighting of the Spirit [2A03; 0CC-Famitracker]

His name is Magnet Man, got magnets in his hands... 

You can think of this as a sort of pseudo-sequel to my Hard Man cover from last year: it uses a lot of the same arrangement techniques and PCM samples.

Mega Man 3 - Magnet Man [2A03 8-bit; 0CC-Famitracker]

I've never tried doing a song in the Kirby's Adventure style before, and I felt like the Mega Man X boss theme was a surprisingly good fit.

Sonic 3D Blast (GEN) - Volcano Valley Zone [Mega Man X-style; SNES]

I've been wanting to do this cover since like 2017 but every time I thought of it I never had enough time. Not this year. No more giving up. No more letting you down.

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up [Chrono Trigger-style; SNES]

AKA the song that plays shortly before Zelda taunts a man after brutally murdering him in cold blood.

(I don't know if this guy's name is supposed to be Hectan or Hektan. Zelda Wiki seems to prefer Hektan, but the soundtrack calls this song "Hectan's Stand", so I'm going with the latter to be consistent with that.)

Thanks to Trayson for helping me out with a difficult section!

I recently played through Conker's Bad Fur Day for the first time. It's definitely a unique experience, one of the standouts being Robin Beanland's amazing soundtrack.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Aquatic Ruin Zone [5-N163]

The spooky season is upon us, and what better way to get in the mood than with some good old Castlevania music?

This is the first significant thing I've made with Furnace, so for the most part I stuck mostly with pre-made instruments, though there's some custom things in there as well.

I've done a bunch of Lavender Town arrangements over the years, but I've never done Pokemon Tower, so I figured that would be a good change of pace.

Pokémon Red/Blue - Pokémon Tower [MMC5]

...I seriously haven't released anything using FDS since 2010? Wild...

Anyway, I thought I would cover a classic Chrono Trigger tune. And if you happen to live somewhere that observes DST, you're also a time traveler today!

A cover I started months ago and finally got around to finishing.

Also I finally made the switch to Dn-FamiTracker since version 0.5.0.2 seems basically perfect now.

Looks like it might storm, man.

I've been itching to cover a symfonikev song for years. His original Mega Man-style tunes were one of my biggest inspirations for getting started in chiptune, and he's still putting out new music to this day.

This is a cover of Kev's Stage 32, with some elements of Warheart's cover as well.

symfonikev (Kevvviiinnn) - Stage 32 [VRC6]

wood pulp martin and the really old entrance

You would think this song translates really well to 8-bit (and for the most part, it does), but it's also got a lot of weird textural stuff going on that was kind of challenging to transcribe.

Mario Kart Wii - Mushroom Gorge [S5B

Picture this: you're hiking in the woods, taking shade under the canopy as you walk the trail. Suddenly, the sun disappears behind the clouds, bathing everything in a blueish gray. The wind picks up, the rustling of leaves grows louder and louder. It's time to turn back before the rain falls.

I thought it might be fun to do a little post-processing on this cover, so I stereo-separated the two VRC6 Pulse channels. Lemme know how you feel about the effect.
