I gotta say, using the piano from the Wet-Dry World beta track is goddamn genius. The first time I listened to this, I instantly recognized the melody, but couldn’t remember where it was from. This is the only song I’ve ever listened to that made me feel an emotion like that. Props to you, Churgney “Sturm” Gurgney, for making an objectively good song.
Mario 64's sound font always had an ethereal and slightly eerie feeling to them, and you took absolute advantage of that here. The Bowser bass thuds are very welcome for that impact feeling. Blagnogooga shrengobi.
I knew this song was good but this is my first time actually listening to the instrumental and it is absolutely insane. Sturm's musical talent will certainly bring him far.
I love how when I played the mod, the first thing I thought when I heard this song was "This is a fucking Sturm song, no shot it isn't" Sturm's music deserves its own fucking genre it's so fucking good
incorporating the sm64 instruments into this makes it all the more incredible this is absolutely beautiful also love the subtle zeldas lullaby from 3:00 to 3:40 hidden in there
The instrumental to me fr sounds like your nostalgia crying to you ong makes you wanna go back to being a kid again, especially the final minute of it GOD CHURGNEY SONGS ARE GORGEOUS AS HELL. The paiano. I love the pano, Churg ur piano is the awesome....this song is bound to make one sob Ong the most BEAUTUFL song to ever exist that Classified had the honor to have in its mod 😢😢😢
I love how most of the songs use the super mario 64 soundfont, it makes the instrumental more immersive and nostalgic. It really gives that “mario” feeling you know
My heart is crying listening to this, the instrumentals are the definition of peak here, you even used the Piano sound during the bowser's battle in mario 64, Sturm is a god, and always will be
If those were silly billy vocals the whole time... I'm pretty sure they are. I can hear the "WAAAAAAAYYYYYY" at 4:20 The inflextions are even the same at the end Wow
Was anyone able to spot that this song has "Zelda's Theme" from 3:01-3:39? Other than that, The song itself is The best Mario song! Original and Instrumental version, and especially how the "organ instrument" music matches perfectly with this!🤩
This alone sounds like the perfect modern Sonic true final boss where it tests all of your skills that you have achieved in the game, like movement, air mobility, and combat. Truly a masterpiece.
