There's Metal Man in my Metal Man (RMW2 Cover)
You ever hear a song and think, "man, this is pretty good. But what if it was awful instead?" Look no further than this cover, where I take a track from the most popular Mega Man game and arrange it so it sounds like the notorious Mega Man II for Game Boy, known in Japan as Rockman World 2. Lots of people complain that this game uses original music instead of adapting the soundtracks of MM2 and 3, and I think that's a silly complaint. The real problem is the sound driver, taking competent music and butchering it so badly it makes peoples' ears bleed. So what if the game had no original music at all and instead was made up entirely of worse versions of the NES tracks? This here is my depiction of what that might have sounded like.
Ever wonder what the reverse would sound like? Check out this old 2A03 cover of mine: ua-cam.com/video/e93cPMdJ2zM/v-deo.html
Cover made using Furnace, with an oscilloscope rendered using Corrscope. Gameplay footage was sourced from @videogamephenomhd's channel.

Castlevania - Wicked Child (Belmont's Revenge Style)
Переглядів 1907 годин тому
I love the Game Boy! For whatever reason I've always had a strange fascination with it, especially the music from its expansive library of games. One favorite soundtrack of mine has been Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, a game completely unrelated to Castlevania II: Simon's Quest on the NES. Every original piece in this OST is a straight-up banger, there's not a single one I don't enjoy. The ...
Announcing a Brand New Album... in VRC6!

Happy Jeffiversary, everybody! That is to say, today marks the 3-year anniversary of Jeff the Delivery Guy's release to Bandcamp. Since then I've worked on a number of smaller projects like The Donkey Kong VRC6 Project and Hydlide Resurgence, graduated with my bachelor's, moved away for a new job and moved back. And I think it's been long enough that I can justify making a sequel album to the o...
Dr. Wily Stage 1 (MM2) Fusion
Переглядів 23 тис.Місяць тому
What if the most famous Wily stage theme to date, beloved and detested by many, made consistent appearances throughout the rest of the Mega Man classic series? That would've annoyed off a lot of fans, without a doubt, but it's an idea I was eager to explore, and in the process I strung together a grand total of 15 distinct arrangements, all made by me in Furnace and FamiTracker. It took a lot o...
What if Mega Man (1987) was an ARCADE GAME? ~ YM2203 Cover

Hello again, everybody! It's been a couple months since my last upload, but rest assured that today's video is something special! Not only is this my second work using Furnace, but it's also my first one using FM synthesis, a retro sound you're probably familiar with if you've listened to some Sega Genesis soundtracks. I wanted to propose an idea: what if, instead of making the original Mega Ma...

Boss 2 - Neutopia
Переглядів 2068 місяців тому
Neutopia being an obvious Zelda clone aside, the music is really good! When I listened to the soundtrack, this track ended up being my favorite, and I liked it so much that I ended up making this individual upload to accompany my piano arrangement on the NinSheetMusic forums. I won't be making a full OST upload myself, as there's already one up on UA-cam. I'm linking it in this video, go listen...

Taiyou no Yuusha Fighbird GB was one of two video game adaptations (the other being released for the Famicom) of The Brave of Sun Fighbird, a 1991 anime series featuring... fighting robots, from what I can gather. I don't know much about the source material, but I do know that the composer for the game is Kenji Yamazaki, who infamously worked on Mega Man II for the Game Boy, also known as Rockm...
Music & Sound Effects - Frogger

CREDIT GOES TO CHRIS CANTRELL FOR RIPPING ALL OF THIS, HUGE SHOUTOUT TO HIM!!! Today marks a very special day, all! I've been searching for the music of Frogger for a long time now, in hopes that I might arrange sheet music for it, but I could never track down any complete rips. Sure, there's some out there, but they're missing a majority of the "Frogger Homed" themes, and have a number of othe...

DISCLAIMER: YES, I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RAIDERS MARCH. MOVING ON~ One fateful day, the evil demon Varalys breaks into the castle of Princess Anne, ruler of Fairyland, and casts a dastardly spell that splits her into three fairies, which scatter across the land. It's up to Jim the Knight (yes, that's really his name) to rescue these fairies, defeat Varalys and restore peace to the land. ... n...
Main Theme - Hydlide (MSX)
Переглядів 27311 місяців тому
You thought the overworld theme from the NES version was repetitive? Well I've got bad news, because this track from the original MSX version is even worse, and it's the only music you'll hear in the entire game. Please listen at your own risk... Oh, and please check out my Hydlide Resurgence project; I rearranged this theme as well as several others to form a whole new soundtrack: ua-cam.com/v...

Full Project Here: ua-cam.com/video/Ufd9UC2wUpA/v-deo.html I once saw a high-quality rip (not from SiIvaGunner, can't remember which channel though) that remixed 50m to sound like the bass line to "Gang-Plank Galleon". While that would've made for a mildly funny inclusion to my Donkey Kong VRC6 Project, I wanted to take things in a different direction. The nice thing about this track is that it...

Cool!
THIS IS AMAZING
Goes to show how well the music was composed when not even a s$%&$y-a$s sound driver can make it sound bad.
@@darthixion957 ain't that the truth!
I'd love to hear how janky wood man would get
When I saw this video I was wondering if it would be an NES->GB remix or a GB->NES remix. The fact that you chose the former is proof that you're a true connoisseur of the craft.
Thanks :) I've got another cover that goes the other way around linked in the description, make sure to check that out!
@@levir.starsmusic i saw that. it's also really nice! :D
i love that everything is an octave above for the true mm2w expirience
This should have been in the Game Boy!
Got any more of that offkeyness? Honestly if you wanted to go more cursed, CV Amiga is right there still, yearning for covers in its style 👀
Banger
It still sounds better than the original MM2GB, though...
True, but without the original music we wouldn't have ended up with so many fabulous remixes! The arrangements found in Mega Man Maker are among my favorite renditions out there
Agreed.
I love this. I think this fits Metal man's gb stage better than the og
This is as cursed as my covers get. If you suffered listening to this cover, my hat goes off to you
You're wrong, please keep uploading more of these.
Joke's on you, now I want to hear an "Air Man in my Air Man" remix. ;)
The megaman march
I see this as an alternate BGM for the Soleil boss fight (little on the nose, I know...).
konami hire this man
Bit of an unexpected take on this theme, but it's done beautifully! Gotta love the wavetable basically going all out.
Haha thank you! The section where it swaps between waveforms every bar was my personal favorite part to write
this is so cool!
Thank you!!
Usually when I see “in x style” I prepare to be disappointed, not this time. You captured the tone and pace of Adventure 2 perfectly, kudos.
It depends on the person who uses the instruments for the remixes, X2 OST and soundfont is pretty good though.
That's pretty high praise! Thank you, I'm happy to hear I surpassed your expectations.
When the child is wicked Banger cover my guy!
Thanks for inspiring me to make a Castlevania cover!
My favorite song from the original Castlevania! Excellent work, man! 😄
Thank you, glad you like it! The original is a timeless classic
@@levir.starsmusic You're welcome! ^w^
Mega man 8 is the best
i like the idea, btw megaman 1 has some arcade vibes
it's really accurate.
I like the back to back to back Rockman & Forte part
Can we PLEASE just get these remixes by themselves instead of them all being compiled in this one video?
@@Snick-the-porcupine believe me, everything you heard is all that was made. It's a lot more work than people realize, which is why I'm moving on to other projects
@@levir.starsmusic Holy shit I didn't expect you to actually respond. And honestly, that's fair enough. Why should you waste your time on a song pretty much everyone has heard when you can do something new? I feel like that's the beauty of art y'know?
Dang this is really good! I know this is a year old thingy but could you do some game boy donkey kong songs in this style?
2:09 best part If disagree fight me : P If there can be a soundtrack with mm2 and mm5 combined, I can die happily. It'd be my funeral music.
WE'RE MAKING IT OUTTA THE PIZZERIA WITH THIS ONE🗣💯🗣💯🗣‼️
@@Conorr64 damn right we are
JEFF SWEEEEEP!!!!!
I can feel it: this album is gonna sell one Jeffillion copies! It'll be huge!

I need an extention of the Game Gear one ngl
i’d MOURN an extended version of the MM10 ver, this still sick as hell though
I imagine the exact whole video but "I was never book smart I'm money smart" playing on the exact tempo on each one lmao
this goes so hecking hard my guy
Awesome, classic as always
Can you upload a version with the springs! It's like a rhythm game, missing with out the extras blips..
need a full dos version
I wish the pitch was *exactly* like the NES version and then I'd like it more.
@@berdinaction you can always pitch it up in an audio editing software. These arrangements were made to match the key signature of the arcade version's music
@@levir.starsmusic I know, but the only issue is that Audacity makes these sound more wet than dry.
@@berdinaction well, thanks anyway for your input
@@levir.starsmusic np, you did a very GREAT job anyway
I feel like even in a toaster this song would be a banger
