My Dad always plays with Chill as the theme, funny thing was I asked him why, since he's actually deaf and he always said he thought it was the game type and he never had actually tried Fever mode.
I am deaf too, as a child I listened to these and all Gameboy tunes with my hearing aids plugged into a special hearing aid studio attached to the Gameboy console. I missed these tunes so much and thought I'll never hear them again until I found them all on RU-vid. I just had cochlear implants in both ears and oh wow, amazingly, I recognized after last played/heard twenty-six years ago! I'm fourty-three now still loving these tunes lol.
Another partially deaf person writing. I played Dr. Mario during the time I lost part of my hearing by an accident. The song really made sense somehow. Is there anything explainable about my attraction to this music with the deafness?
@@theighthsage It’s at the part where Mario and DK were going up the chains to Bowser’s floating castle. The song is Fighting Tooth and Veil and the part is at 2:07 minutes in
This is the longest song on the NES that Nintendo ever produced, going nearly 2 minutes before its first loop. EDIT: I have been corrected! There is ONE song longer. Scroll down to find out which one it is.
@@DonnieTheGuy Solstice was produced by Tim Follin at Software Creations, not Nintendo. I'm specifically talking about Nintendo's in-house teams. Sorry for the mix up!
Also, on the topic of awesome long NES songs, it turns out Journey to Silius Stage 2 is longer than the Solstice title theme by about 10 seconds. Cool!
And the winner of most unexpected musical reference in the Mario movie goes to… [Edit] I stand corrected since Wario's Battle Canyon from Mario Party was referenced.
I've always loved this tune...Plus the little St. Thomas reference in there :) There's a critical element that I think none of the remakes for other systems got right. The tempo is usually too fast, and they lose the mechanical groove. They replace the sounds with silly overblown ones (especially the SSBB version) Seriously, this is like some Kraftwerk robot funk a la "The Robots". Hip Tanaka kinda revisited this feel with the Mario Paint Coffee Break stage 2 music.
mootbooxle I agree: none of the remakes can top this version of the OST in general, and i am not looking at this with rose colored glasses on, either. You hit the nail on the head about that certain element that cannot be recaptured.
@@salsashark4133 I googled "Dr. Mario St. Thomas" and an old Reddit thread mentioned both. It's ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v4DTR0I7xhA.html
Tho it's one of my favorites, 1:14 to 1:36, always scared me when I was little. I think it was because I felt like someone would die from being sick if I didn't save them.
Awesome stuff! Thanks :) It's really a shame so many of these classic tracks get butchered when they are remastered for modern releases.. as much as I love the Smash Wii U music a lot of the songs lost some feeling =/
I’m playing dr mario on my switch using the nes thing they have and i have the chill theme on it and im also listening to this at the same time yeah i doubled the chill out
Why is my favorite part different from other people (0:36 btw) when the first time I heard this , I was literally shaking my head back and forth and almost fell of my chair due to extreme vibe and how great this is
I almost started singing "When Doves Cry" by Prince & The Revolution to this. Just add 2 guitar solos,Doctor's keyboard solo,a few Prince screams,and we got ourselves a mash-up!!
Ah, the ol' good Chill... Although I'm not very competent to talk about "good ol' Chill". I bought a NES and Dr. Mario about 3 years ago. My "real" NES childhood consists of Super Mario Bros. and Chip 'n' Dale.
No, there are lots of us out here. I had the choice of a NES or a Xbox360 for Christmas...I chose the NES, HANDS DOWN. Older systems and games have way more nostalgia and charachter I think. :)
Brian Dempsey, I like both the NES version and the SNES version. However, I think the SNES version has more of a beat than the NES version and the SNES version's song also has more of a mood to it.
I remember playing a version of this on my 3ds and this guy was a floating head? I think he was also some sort of doctor, I can't remember his name but he made you do brain exercises. Edit: just looked it up. Dr. Kawashima
