I was a little boy playing this game for the first time, and it was my first exposure to the "Inside a House," "Kokiri Forest," and "Lost Woods" themes. When I first heard Wind Waker's "Inside a House" theme, my like 10-year-old self thought "This reminds me of Shrek music." Now I know why.
7:01 I gotta say when I hear this theme it makes me feel like I’m a kid wearing a green hat and green tunic running around in a forest looking for little gem things…not sure why it sounds familiar. 🤔
4:20 - i gotta admit, if it werent for the low-quality sound, i actually kinda like how "Inside a House" sounds with the drumbeat... ...i just wish it was a Zelda game, that added the drums...
I remember watching Vinny Vinesauce playing VTech games on stream and laughing my ass off when everyone made the sudden realization that this game used stolen Zelda music. These midi covers aren't that bad honestly but I wonder if they just chose to shamelessly steal Zelda music because they either had a short development deadline and didn't have the time for their composer to make new music, or the composer themself just didn't care. Makes you wonder if Nintendo was even aware of this game's existence.
Tbf I would be surprised if this game sold anywhere close to 5000 copies. plus if you owned a Vsmile, you were probably under the age of 10, you probably had no actual game consoles, and your parents probably know nothing about videogames Plus the Vsmile was in no way threatening the sale of nintendo consoles
For some reason i feel like this game straight up got MIDIs off the internet, slightly modified them and then they didn't even bother adapting them properly which would explain why the instrumentation is oftentimes awful and why the music loves dropping notes so much, likely the V-Smile being so cheap whatever spundchip it has can't handle many MIDI voices at once.
there is a programmer laughing to themselves for being the one who forever got away with putting bad renditions of oot music into the crappy vtech game and they are very happy
The target demographic for this console as a whole were 3-8 year olds and this game came out in 2005, there wasn't a real way this could be reported to anyone at Nintendo to take this game down
I couldn't find the ending cutscene music here, maybe it's the one you couldn't get to fully play? That one is a ripoff of the Carnival theme from Darkseed 2. The idea that someone who made this played Darkseed 2 is amazing to me.
I redid the rip for the soundtrack comparison video. I only forgot one of the stolen Zelda tracks there, but it was also (kind of hilariously) the most well known one.
Should be, but it'll take a lot of research. I've gotten to the point that I can extract the data but the format used is fully custom/original to SPG2xx devices. (SunPlus made most of the formats used on the V.Smile and those slightly more advanced bootleg plug 'n plays)

These are timestamps for the Zelda stuff for anyone wondering
7:00
6:23 Kind sounds like Gold Saucer from Final Fantasy 7.
4:20 This actually fits in Smash Bros. Surprised we didn't get a remix of Inside A House theme from Ocarina with a beat in Smash Ultimate.
You know this technically means that Koji Kondo composed music for a Shrek game
Oh my god it really does

Link is that you
So vtech and DreamWorks got away with using Nintendo's music, but 31 Horas Music, Official VGM, VGM Haven, and GilvaSunner didn't?
WTH, MAN?!
Whoa! Dragon's sneezing fireballs everywhere!
Underwater theme in super Mario bros 0:21
You’re actually right
Nintendo: *What Are You Doing With My Music !*
1:24 That's the battle theme from SaGa Frontier!
im going insane
I thought I recognized it
0:34 "Maybe our friends in this forest know where to get the magic potion, right?"
6:06
4:20 UH OH!

Glad I’m not the only one who thought the House Theme having added percussion unironically sounds good. 😂

Surprised Nintendo haven't sued these mf's into oblivion
4:20 slaps
everyone gangsta until the shrek game for babies starts playing the worst fucking kenji ito cover in existence

Unreal that this exists. Calls to mind the Neopets Didj game that straight up has the MIDI data for E1M1.
Totally original OST
5:28 this one goes so hard
Wonder who composed that one!
...Wait, this small slip of paper just says "Koji Kondo"? Oh boy.
Listen to the og bro
Hey, Can i have the tool you used for extracting music?
4:58 at least this theme sounds original
This sounds like a bootleg but here’s the thing
ITS A REAL GAME USING NINTENDO MUSIC
darkseed 2 carnival theme is one of these
there is a programmer laughing to themselves for being the one who forever got away with putting bad renditions of oot music into the crappy vtech game and they are very happy
Someone should get SiIvaGunner to rip the music from _Shrek: Dragon's Tale (V.Smile)_
92% the rip that is going viral on twitter right now is this one
I meant 92% sure
im tired :/
theres a siivagunner joke here somewhere
I swear, how did they even get away with using Zelda music without getting sued?!

I wonder if it's possible to extract the music data and convert it to MIDI?
