4-H is officially my favorite stage in the game. An outcome I expected, since 4-4 used to be my favorite and this stage just builds on that strong foundation. Satisfying length, intriguing pathways filled with obstacles, ingenious gimmicks (a dangerous mine that doubles as a shortcut? That's so smart!) and a solid sense of progression with the lasers becoming much more present in the latter half of the stage. Ohtani handled this cover (all of those remixes are essentially covers, which I find to be neat, the composers haven't rearranged their own songs) very well, it's probably the most creative of the lot. Wishes in the wind is a really underrated one imo, so I like to see it treated with this much respect 👍
I wasn't huge on the original tune, so this wins over it for me. It's not too calm, but also not too boisterous. Just right! As for the level, it was pretty neat to learn and pretty long as well, so that's a plus. Stage length can make or break a stage for me depending on the level design, and from what I remember, this delivered.
Honestly, I like the original better. The OG Wishes in the Wind is my favorite Cyberspace theme, and I feel like this remix loses the feeling it gave me when listening to it. The OG felt bittersweet, and I loved it. I don’t get that vibe from this one, t sounds more like a party theme. The OG is probably still my favorite theme even with this new update, but the remixed Arrow of Time is a close second.
