Yooooo I should've suspected that you style of play would fit well with this piece. Loved it dude, you definitely did this favorite piece of mine justice! Wasn't ready for that middle section. I got used to snagging some of those victories in our versus series but this is a formidable arrangement and definitely one of my new favorites! Whose arrangement reigns supreme? Let us know in the comments sections of our videos!
Ryan Z ‘Piano Guy’ - Zebeldarebel I like how we had the exact same starting point and seeing how we both developed the theme differently. The imitative counterpoint you used was on point.
@@ErikCPianoman Bro another one would be the Dragon Quest Overture theme! You would nail that one! The theme that is the best is from Dragon Quest Your Story, on Netflix.
Holy crap this is such a good arrangement!!! You know I usually don't feel anything anymore when I listen to covers this piece because I played it a lot myself when I started learning piano but you're version has this special vibe to it that made me remember the old days in primary school, when I was playing the DS version of this game with my sister, being amazed by the most trivial things, trying to figure out everything about that big mystery which this game was to me back then... good times
This was just amazing. I didn't think remixing this song could sound so natural and good. It did the original so much justice. Koji Kondo would be proud. I hope he gets to hear this some day!
1:06 That beautiful left hand or was it right hand-bass-melody-change up thingy killed me!! 😍👍 That part especially did it for me. Just wow! Bravo mate.
I noticed that too, he's basically covering the synth chord progression that's added in the second run through and using bass notes to make it sound fuller which is what the original sounds like. I got chills.
I love 100% all of your movie and videogame covers!!! I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT YOU ARE MY FAVORITE UA-camR!!! I love your channel and cannot wait to see it grow bigger! I remember only seeing one video and instantly subscribing! I watch your channel daily, and it gives me confidence in my piano skills! It helps me never give up with piano! A+ for all of your videos! It is also safe to say that your are the Best pianist I've ever seen.
I was only half-listening at first, expecting a Dire Dire Docks cover like any other... I was not ready for the second part. How did I expect your arrangement to be anything but mind-blowing ? I should have learned by now !
I really like this one! It has a really relaxing tune at the start and gets a lot of power in the middle part which fits this piece. The last Versus battle I gave to Ryan's but this one is yours again in my opinion even though I like both versions. Brings some nostalgic memories back. Great work Erik and thanks for sharing such awesome covers like this over the last years! I really appreciate it thanks a lot!
At first I thought this version was identical to the one in the game, but then I noticed you might have sneaked in a few little twists of your own along the way. Niiiiice 😉 I woke to this and cried happy tears. Well done
This takes me back to the days when I played this level on my n64. It always left a nostalgic tone when I heard the music of dire dire docks and you revived my nostalgia, even with your own twist at the end. You are simply an amazing pianist!
Craziest thing just happened. I was listening to a piano cover of this, thinking “Eric should cover this” while it’s playing I go to your channel to check recent videos and what do I see 🤯
MY GOD! I was expecting just the normal theme which was already great but 1:42!! WOW! That almost seems unreal! Great work on this!! Subscribed immediately!
I know nothing of video games, i grew up on the WII & Roblox & that was all as video games never attracted me, However through the few instances of playing mario, not only on the Wii but properly, I fell in love with so many sound tracks, Some of the greatest piano pieces imo on youtube come from Video games. This & great fairy fountain Zelda are 2 great examples
Please do an entire Super Mario medley. Your arrangements are so moving. You really highlight just how much work and how incredible this music is by putting in as much work as you do. I fell in love hard with your Ocarina Of Time medley. I think I speak for everyone when I say that you're arrangement of a Super Mario medley would be overwhelmingly beautiful. Please ♥️🥺🙏🔥🎶🎹
Admiro muchísimo la forma en que tocas y te expresas, mejores sentimientos no se pueden encontrar en canciones como estás, amo todo tu trabajo, eres magnífico!! This is so beautiful, I really feel that.
Yo Erik I love your work, your the one pianist I listen to the most and an inspiration on why I play piano today, continue the hard work I appreciate it
God this is so much better then sheet music boss. Their music is boring af and they don't even do it themselves, they use a computer to simulate the music, which isn't nearly as good as this
I'm a fan of both. Sheet music boss is what its name says, it makes sheet music for piano players of all levels. That's why they can't always make pieces of this quality or complexity. I don't think you can really compare them fairly since each channel does a different thing.

Joshua Wall you want more difficult?? I can give you more difficult>:)
Joshua Wall haha k lol. I already did a Hyrule Castle medley on my channel!
@Joshua Wall Battle for Hyrule - Hyrule Castle Medley
Joshua Wall I’m planning on coming out with a synthesia version later at some point
Ryan Z ‘Piano Guy’ - Zebeldarebel I like how we had the exact same starting point and seeing how we both developed the theme differently. The imitative counterpoint you used was on point.
Please do hyrule castle: Breath of the wild next
agreed
@@filmswiththefellas4203 ive seen it, its rly good but i want to see how erik would play it
agreed bro.
I’ll get to it. It’s a tricky track so it’ll take some time to make and record a quality arrangement.

Happy to hear that!
I was not ready for those embellishments holy h*ck that was the best rendition of this song I've ever heard
I might've missed the premiere but that doesn't mean i can't tell you that this is awesome!
I don't think the definition of "awesome" really fits this scenario.
@@GraemeGunn Your right, It's Better!
@Hand bro I need you to help me play this, 2 aren't enough
Let's-a go
It's-a me!
Mario!
Oki-Dokey!
This theme is so beautiful for areas of the game that were literally terrifying
BROOO THAT IS FUCCCKING INSAAAAAAAANE
I promise that im gonna play it full its make me feel so goooooooood
This was just amazing. I didn't think remixing this song could sound so natural and good. It did the original so much justice. Koji Kondo would be proud. I hope he gets to hear this some day!
To get Koji Kondo’s approval of these covers would be the ultimate achievement.

Good old times, this was one of my most favorite Mario 64 song and my most favorite level! I was so surprised to seeing your video ^•^
YESSSS!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SUPER MARIO 64 MUSIC!!!! THANK YOU
Mario at 1:41: "Why do I hear boss music?"
When the Eel comes out to play
Is there anyone else as wierd as me that find satisfying to watch pianists hands ? They're so majestic, no matter what they play
Far and beyond the best piano rendition on UA-cam. Just wow
That nostalgia hit hard. Made my day. Thanks Erik for putting in the time to make these so great and sharing your work with us.

Each video should have so many more views, it’s a shame that this prodigious man doesn’t get the fame he deserve
lol. dat be true...
That is not the right use of prodigious lol
@@cadenflynn1587 Wrong, the word is used properly.
Still simply flows like water… absolutely incredible!

Thanks for the feedback. Ryan and I love it when we see regular commenters, especially for the VERSUS series.
@@ErikCPianoman The VERSUS series is just really awesome.

0:02 "I can easily play this!"
1:42 "oh"
Same XD

Man, this guy's appreggios are insane.
Erik, I always feel like the arrangments you put out can never be topped, but you always do just that.
Aw, thank you so much for hearting my comment! Just noticed as I came to watch this again.
@@cobalt9000 It puts a little joy in your day! I've had that happen before too.
MY GOD! I was expecting just the normal theme which was already great but 1:42!! WOW! That almost seems unreal! Great work on this!! Subscribed immediately!
Thank you Erik C 'Piano Man'. You make me bring back some good memories in SM64 and DS remake ver. 🙏🙏
Bravo! I really enjoyed this theme, thanks for working on this masterpiece and also for sharing it with the world!
Just. Wow. My soul has been soothed once again. Your piano is a drug
I love the both of you as players and this comradery style of versus is a great sense of competition. Thank you guys.
Glad you like the series. We got another round coming soon!
Incredible. I'm so inspired by your playing style, your scales are amazing, and your version of this song is mesmerizing. Bravo!
Bro if this guy was in Star Wars, they would all say "May Erik be with you."
One day I’ll play just like you! Fantastic job!!!❤❤❤
DUDE I was looking for a good interpretation of this song last month and looked for it again. This is CRAZY GOOD! Can't wait for the sheets O v O b
Glad you like it! Sheets are on the way.
@@ErikCPianoman Hey Erik, sorry to dredge this up but just wondering if you ever got around to doing the sheets for this? Such an amazing arrangement

He deserves more subscribtions
Every time I listen to your music I get the chills, absolutely outstanding. Don’t ever stop making vids. And I also second hyrule castle.
This is soo awesome! I love this piece, so nostalgic. Your videos always make me emotional.
you're straight up the best piano player I've ever seen & I've been watching this shit for years lol
Bro, I've played more of the DS version and have just started to play 64 on switch and the beginning almost made me cry. 😭 Lovin' it so much.
Admiro muchísimo la forma en que tocas y te expresas, mejores sentimientos no se pueden encontrar en canciones como estás, amo todo tu trabajo, eres magnífico!! This is so beautiful, I really feel that.
My man please dont stop doing this
This was perfect. Replaying the game right now and loving it. Was my first video game.
Wow nice improv, I really love this! You really inspire me!
Gosh, this is so gorgeous. I went to give you a sub and realized I'm already subscribed!
He ate this upppp, no crumbs
i really love this and your other videos. you are such a great pianist. Im really Jealous, but in a Positiv way ^^
Finally found this... this was in EvanMCGaming's videos at least at the end of his documentaries...
Just wow.
This is truly breathtaking. I’m in awe.
This is awesome. I'm currently playing through Mario 64 and had forgotten about all the awesome music in that game.
First time here, WOW, you are amazing. Glad I found you! Gifted talent and hard work. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
Never fails to amaze me how good you make those arrangements! ❤️
Hey Erik, you're just amazing! I love every nintendo piece that you play! Its just on a whole other level
This is gonna go viral for sure

My favorite arrangement 🚢
You deserve more viewers man, keep up the great work
You are a genius, period
Create a collection and put it on spotify
Yo Erik I love your work, your the one pianist I listen to the most and an inspiration on why I play piano today, continue the hard work I appreciate it
Thanks, will do!
Beautiful stuff to do homework to! You never disappoint!
I love your covers
That is soo good! Keep up with the awesome work Erik!
That variation part was fucking nuts
You need to watch this played on other UA-cam-channels to realize how perfect the timing in this one is! Amazing!
😃 Outstanding!
wow that was exactly that waht i just needed
reliving my childhood listening to this... just nastolgic.
That was incredible
i love how epic you can make all my fav video game songs :)
Wow that's amazing
I love this channel. Fantastic work
Very beautiful version with a great piano interpretation
Woow 1:42 was really unexpected! Great job 👌
Nice cover! Very impressive
This guy is so talented i can listen to this for days ( i dropped some tears during this😪)
I just had an inner childhood experience 😢
Your the Best. I just Love your Videos.
I discover everyday new ones on your channel 🤗🎹can't wait you're doing a new video 👏🏻👍🏻
*I never liked a video that fast*
Timeless. Everything is as it should be. At least in my memories anyways.
I love this song
At this rate, the songs made by Erik C in Super Mario 64 will be replaced, and the truth would be very cool.
Reminds me of the room full of red coins underwater. The little secret stage u had to backlfip up to
This is awesome thanks so much for blessing my ears!
You are Talented!
1:42 RIP everyone who came here to relax
Lol

Wonderful how good a cruel stage in the game can sound.
You have a beautiful and fantastic gift thank you for all your hard work 👍 😊
Woah the second part really caught me by surprise 😅
Cool Version! 👍🏼😊
This song always makes me forget that there's a nightmarish demon in those waters.
When the notes turn red u know shits bout to get real
This song really makes me feel like I'm drowning
If this isn’t played at my funeral I ain’t dying
The best Mario melodi
