Interesting. I didn't hear that element at all. Although, I re-listened after I heard your comment and I think I can hear a little bit of it. The tempo of most of the luigi's mansion songs I know are a bit faster. I got a similar impression from the third song. I do think that after being transferred those songs might benefit from being sped up.
I thought the melody sounds remarkably like the castle stealing music from Mario galaxy. especially if you remove the middle note. I kept expecting it to resolve like that song
The part A of your "Good Egg Galaxy" rendition sounded INSANELY familiar to me. Like out of another game I've played, and it's gonna but me until I hear it again xD
It's very similar to the fortress theme of Super Mario WORLD (SNES) . It doesn't stop there though. In each castle of SMW you save a Yoshi egg! SMW is the eggs in danger, Galaxy is sweet good times!
dude i think it sounds like the ghost galaxy theme whatever it's called. I think its because they literally took the good egg theme and put it into 3/4 and then made it minor for that theme as well. it's crazy that he made something so similar
For me, it really was circling back to Harry Potter: the A section sounds straight out of the unused Death Day theme from the Chamber of Secrets video game composed by Jeremy Soule, which was later chopped up into the theme used when polyjuicing into Goyle in the final version.
@@Dudeman23rd Glad to see someone else put this! I was listening to it and thinking "This sounds a lot like the OSTs Jeremy Soule put in the early games." Absolutely amazing soundtracks.
I gotta say Ryan. I think I’m gonna need a full video on just the Celeste Mario Underground theme😅 or just a full version cuz it’s pretty awesome. All three of these where a delight to hear and watch you create!
Idk, the instrumentation on it was okay but I think it totally missed the Celeste vibe, to me it didn't sound like the underground theme in the celeste style, it just sounded like, and idk how to really say this without a weird metaphor, but a very superfical tossing of the super mario bros underground theme and some celeste instrumentation into a bowl and not mixing them well or even getting them into the oven and just eating it raw and getting salmonella. Like a janky first steps with mario bros underground smashing itself in there and wrecking the place without much cohesion. To be fair the Celeste style is a fairly difficult and time consuming one to mimic, there's so many layers and so much subtlety to its sound, but if it sounds off it *really* sounds off.
@@pumpkinpartysystem I think the main problem for me is the instrumentation of the main melody. The background stuff sounds *very* Celeste, but the dun-na-dun-na-dun-na still sounds Mario.
@@pumpkinpartysystem To me it wasn't really a matter of the ingredients being raw (don't mind me, just gonna borrow that analogy too lol) but rather them being completely different ingredients. The moment he said First Steps was going to be the reference, I doubted there would be much to work with, given how much of a completely different vibe both tracks are. A better reference would've been, in my opinion, something like "Spirit of Hospitality" or "In the Mirror". I love the concept of mixing the mario and celeste soundtracks!! I just think there could've been a better reference for the general vibe. He a little confused but he got the spirit.
Putting music in different styles is something that always fascinates me. You did a very good job. I also like when games do this type of thing themselves to recontextualize leitmotifs- actually something quite common in the new movie.
Hi again Ryan, you mentioned that the fast 16th note runs in the Harry Potter adaptation were 'playable' (14:10). As a novice orchestrator, I had no idea violins could execute 16th note runs at that tempo...remarkable!
As a violinist myself...yeah I've never been able to play those particularly well lol, my fingers just can't keep up and go that fast, but many violinists can and more, as crazy as it may seem.
I feel like the melody from the minor section of Sunshine/LOTR is actually from the LOTR movies or a similar franchise. Maybe not exactly, but that specific melody sounds super familiar in this style.
Even if I couldn’t comprehend 75% of the music stuff you were saying, you have such a way of captivating my attention to make me listen. Blows my mind how good with music people can be, this really was a great video!
Great video! I've always known that you're a great composer, so it's really nice to see a master at work. Love that you can show off your talent in this sort of format. ❤
You are such a talented composer. I mean, you can even take some precomposed themes and make them sound completely different. You know exactly how to make things sound cinematic.
Naaaah. Style swaps aren't ridiculous. YOU'RE Ridiculous. In fact, You're INSANE! HOLY FUCK. You're exactly the artist i aspire to be but for painting! You're like a unicorn i always told myself MUST exist in real life! Damn excellent and underrated! I wish i could hear full songs of these samples. Subbed!
Duuuuuude as somebody who loves to do reinterpretations of themes with anime style I loved watching this! ❤❤❤ love changing harmony myself to reflect different moods with the same melody. 😁😁
Pretty cool to see how the pieces come together for this, and what unexpected similarities come from the mixes - the HP/Good Egg first bit evokes some of the DK64 themes!
ngl sounds like you just threw a bunch of trailer music for upcoming mario game themed movies at us which is mind bending of how easy it is for you. Im betting Ryan took some kind of music theory class.
This was a ton of fun, and very very VERY educational. I would love to see more swaps. I wouldn't even care if you did more from these same wheels... I would've watched them all
Thank you for this, I would love to have more videos exactly like this, I feel like this video is the one I can learn the most from out of everything from you channel, and that's saying something given the amazing content of your other videos. My only regret is that I didn't get to hear all the styles.
The beginning part to LOTR + Mario Sunshine sounds so much like if Fox McCloud met Mario at Delphino Plaza and is getting ready to leave in the Great Fox. Ha ha ha! So good! Edit: Then in the middle section, it sounds like if an evil entity of sorts is lurking behind them in the shadows, watching them take off and rubbing their hands together saying, "Yes... yes... all according to plan..."
I would love it if you did more of this with the Mario songs, but also doing it with Kirby songs and Zelda songs too! Maybe even pokemon songs! There are so many different franchises you can do for this!
I think the underground theme would have matched very well with the second level Celeste theme Resurrections. They both have a more dark, echo-y "underground" tone.
Please do this again this is so fricking cool. (Not gonna lie though I was hoping Good Egg Galaxy landed on Pirates lol) but the harry potter one sounded awesome!
The underground theme was probably the easiest to do because there are tons of variations of that tune over different Mario games. I watched something that said it's the most used tune in Mario games .
Great vid! If I could have a suggestion, it would be fun to see you to take a single theme and use it to make a short ambient, action and romantic track.
It's a reverse swap: Every time I play New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS and get to the overworld / athletic / mountain levels, I can't help but hear Green Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 1 in that instrumentation.
