warioware diy is legit how i got started making music. when it came out and i was like 10 years old, i knew i wanted to make electronic music someday but was terrified of ever using a DAW cause they looked so complicated. this game helped ease me into the concept of making music digitally and i may not be making music today if i didn't play it! so wonderful and nostalgic to see that you also remember its existence and are having fun making music the same way i used to spend hours doing. (PS i would totally eat garlic jam by the spoonful)
reading this comment has actually inspired me to find this game and try it out, I've always liked the idea of getting into making digital music, but those boards are definitely intimidating!
Of all the places to go to for a new medium, a semi-obscure DS game was not what I expected. I'm also honestly surprised they let anyone say "apeshit" in that game, unless that's just edited.

I just had a vasectomy, been sitting around at home playing nintendo on painkillers for the last 8 days, I definitely deserved this. thank u louie for those fummmmnnnnkyass tunes 😎
Man warioware diy is SO much fun! These little sound bites of chopping boards, clicks, and fun synthy blips are so wonderfully put together. I'm definitely gonna mess around with the game again :)
Maaaan loved this game as a kid, mainly because it was technically my first DAW lol. I still credit it with being the thing that got me into music making! Glad to see it start getting some attention from various people lately!
I was about 7 when i first got this game, I remember finding the music maker and not even knowing what an instrument was and just making shit, pretty much sounded like jazz if you were on acid
The alternate universe where we received a Wario Land 5 for the DS and the soundtrack absolutely slapped. Huge props for the dedication and quality pumped into every track! Man, I’ve been thinking of getting into music, and maybe using DIY as a tool somehow… perhaps it could work after all!
Oh oh my gosh!!! I am so extremely happy to see this. WarioWare DIY is VERY close to my heart and I love seeing people make stuff with it so many years after it released.
I'm literally crying, this game is everything for me, i love it so dearly i spent so much time on it this quarentine. I LOVE wario ware and ur channel, thank you for this, it's perfect.
Massive respect for both this existing and trying out non-common time, I remember trying to do 3/4 and desperately trying to keep track of where all the measures landed
I'd love if somebody made a 10 minute dance fish, because that was just an absolute BOP! in the meantime, I'm happy to watch the whole video just for that one song, cause the whole thing is a bop!
Bassball was great, by my favorite is High Five! Its crazy how he managed to get 5/4 time into a medium that only supports 4/4. I imagine that was a nightmare to work with.
4:34 They use this exact sound in Super Mario Maker 2. To be honest, they probably have even more sounds in common, but this one caught my ear. Edit: 8:06 Oh my goodness. It's 5/4 and it's beautiful.
Man, I had this game as a kid and spent HOURS making little tunes...and yet I never had the idea to incorporate the SFX and Effects panels into the tune of the song itself as musical punctuation. To me, they were just silly sounds that I ignored because they didn't seem to fit. Just goes to show how incredible Louie is at making music. Astounding to me that he can look at things I always ignored, like the alien scream, or even the CRICKET instrument, and make them feel like vital aspects of the song.
hearing all the weird voices and sound effects really takes me back to when I played this game, though I was never skilled enough to make any tunes on it. Great work here!
Man, this game means so much to me. It got me into gamedev, coding and music production when I was an impressionable young tween. Wish that more people had experienced it... actually, we should get this game back in the public eye. Bring back Warioware DIY!
Ayo this is so good, this feels like a true warioware ds music (: (Also this makes me want to taste that sweet garlic jam for the first time in my life)
Absolutely love the art for this album. The grainy low-def aesthetic and limited color palate is super appealing to me, and nobody seems to be talking about it. Was the app of choice procreate or MS Paint?
It's incredible what you can make with the tools given to you, it's honestly aged greatly and still is awesome to play with. I hope this inspires more people to make music with it again.
Oh hell yeah! WarioWare DIY was one of my favorite games as a kid! I always wanted to get into making games and this game was just perfect for me. Short little minigames that were easy to make but there was just enough complexity so that you could make something cool and interesting. The tools they had were an absolute joy to use. I still pop the cartridge into my DS every once in a while to check out the games, music, and comics I had made. This is great, thanks for making this
the range of this album!! these are wonderful, i have sooooo much nostalgia for that game!!! at first i had to blindly navigate the japanese version because it took so long to get localized, which was possible because of the amazingly tactile and living UI of the game. it got me both into making games and music and i spent so much time creating things with it, let alone really getting started on youtube thanks to it. I remember having fun handling 6/8 songs with it, sorting out a 5/4 time must've been something! I love how you're using the player's feature to complete the tracks and taking advantage of the looping and the sfx to use the beginning of some tracks as an outro. The speed slider was my absolute favorite thing to play around with so the way you did it for bassball leaves my jaw on the floor, absolutely outstanding
Hey, Louie, love your work! Did you ever play Electroplankton on the DS? It's not quite such a robust set of tools as this but it has some fun little synth-y bits presented with cute animals. You'd probably be hard-pressed to produce an entire song using it, but maybe you'll have some fun playing about with it, find some inspiration or perhaps think of a way to incorporate it into a larger piece.
This is fantastic as I always enjoyed the whacky music from Wario Ware. It is amazing to see what many individuals create with tools that game software provides to individuals.
the sus chords and bouncy bass in Wario Brown nail the Vince Guaraldi vibe and the melody has this golden moment where I'm convinced it's variations on Monsters Inc
sure beats what I used to do, which was to take the premade songs, change all the instruments to the 8-bit set and make up a fake game series for them to be the soundtrack to
the best part about warioware diy is that no matter what you make on it, it always sounds like a ds game soundtrack and that's amazing
The only problem is sometimes that DS game you sound like is Sonic chronicles: the dark brotherhood

This is some deep obscure lore and I can't remember the source, but I remember hearing the same about Porter Robinson. So you're in good company!
i think i'm doing the same type of thing with beepbox currently, it's just so easy to plonk notes there and have them sound at least decent

No officer, it's not "ape shit", it's "apes hit", the monkeys are hitting the drums, is all
Genuinely sounds like something the game's designers would make. Just awesome, great work
All the songs in this game are made using the game software! It sounds actually better!
Another example of Louie being able to make fire tunes in any medium
i love how most of the descriptions feel like they could be official warioware diy song descriptions and then "Go apeshit"
2:07 There's something about the Ab over G that keeps me coming back to listen again and again, it really sells this whole section
Agreed! I immediately wanted to play that melody and chords on my keyboard.
Yea! It does!

@@everydaylouie it's film at eleven by Pat terry but i will absolutely check that out!!!
working with limitations produces some of the best music ever
Unironically the best way to make a good level in mario maker 2. Limit yourself to a "palette" of blocks and yoy got yourself a good level!
honestly, this is my philosophy with most kinds of art, and with some stuff like building teams in pokemon. limitations lead to creativity :)

@@CalzoneStudiozOfficial I guess so

Oh oh my gosh!!! I am so extremely happy to see this. WarioWare DIY is VERY close to my heart and I love seeing people make stuff with it so many years after it released.
I will cry, I used to play this game so much lmao I'd make beats and sing over them 😭 Thank you for bringing this magic into existence
will you cry or wont you cry
do you have any recordings still kicking around? would be amazing to hear
It's been a while since I've seen someone acknowledge Warioware DIY's existence. This does put a smile on my face
Hometown Hum has got to be my absolute favorite. I may not have grown much with Warioware, but the track makes me think otherwise. It's that good
Loved this game as a kid, and I love knowing that you sat recording Dance Fish waiting for the exact time to press the scream sound effect haha
The way I'd give my soul for "Monkey Metal" to be expanded
Dude you gotta be a composer for a game dude, this stuff is mastergrade music.
Back here for the year anniversary of Garlic Jam. An iconic piece of media that the DIY Discord community loved. Thank you
Hometown Hum simultaneously sounds like RPG village music and “ I Can Go the Distance” from Hercules
Wario Brown sounds so much like an early Pokémon city/town and I’m all here for it
I'm literally crying, this game is everything for me, i love it so dearly i spent so much time on it this quarentine. I LOVE wario ware and ur channel, thank you for this, it's perfect.

"Can't unsee that 1 yellow pixel in the garlic..."
"That just means it's ready to go"
Jam time~
This video just goes to show you, it’s not the medium you use to make art or music, it’s what you can do with it. This is a masterpiece
Absolutely love the art for this album. The grainy low-def aesthetic and limited color palate is super appealing to me, and nobody seems to be talking about it.
Was the app of choice procreate or MS Paint?
Could it be drawn in game? It sure aesthetically looks so
i have the game and it looks really close to what you can draw in the game
As a massive fan of WarioWare and a fan of the scary jokes, it was surreal to see these two things combine. Great work as always.
Hometown Hum could be in Steven Universe or Earthbound without sounding out of place ✨
Dance Fish is one of the best things I have ever listened to
