(8-bit NES-style) Wind Garden (Gusty Garden Galaxy) - Super Mario Galaxy

[@PlayingWithMahWii]

I love how this sounds like legit 8-bit sound instead of those other so-called '8-bit' remakes that are actually just MIDI's. Great job!

[@expansionpack4485]

Holy Jeebus, this came out a year after Mario Galaxy. This video is older than a lot of people on this website.

[@afraidbysnow3895]

I still don't want to believe that the Wii is considered retro gaming now

[@expansionpack4485]

At this point, the WiiU feels retro, though, that might just be how much better the Switch is.

[@afraidbysnow3895]

@@expansionpack4485 8 years ago is pretty recent actually, the PS4 was released 7 years ago yet it doesn't feel retro at all.

[@ebonygentleman79]

This song makes me truly understand how fortunate those of us who grew up in the 8-bit era are. I'm closing in on 30 years old, and my baby sister is nearing 14 and she LOVES Mario and Sonic. Watching her enjoy the industry as much as I have makes me feel eternally grateful for the shared experience. I'm in tears, folks. Thank you Miyamoto. Thank you Kondo. Thank you Nintendo...from all of us.

[@neozoan]

I think this proves the genius of the composition. I would have loved this tune had it originated on the NES in the 80's. Kudo's to the Tracker who did a fantastic job staying true to the theme and faithfully emulating the 2-square, tri-wave, noise channel orchestra! Bravo!

[@Hattakiri]

We really need another 8 bit Mario game on WiiWare Virtual Console. Mega Man proved that it works. So does this tune.

[@Hattakiri]

***** My personal dream (and I suppose many people's) would be an actual (S)NES- or GB(C/A)-game. Yes I do know that chances are NOT SO GOOD that it gonna happen :-P They can put it on each and any platform they wanna (like the named Mega Man!) - as long as they f*** DO IT!!!

[@TheSpingus]

Hattakiri It's always been my dream as well, and I recently got a SNES. I'm so happy! I just gotta really feel the 90's...

[@pokeness686]

This is one of my favorite themes from Super Mario Galaxy... and sir, you have nailed this.

[@Geckogold]

This sounds really good, and it certainly brings back memories of playing NES games :) I still remember when I would get to a stage, and then just let my character stand around so I could listen to the music, assuming it didn't have a timer lol. Ducktales come to mind on this :)

[@eelamite]

"wow. it has been 12 years since i first made this NES cover. a huge thank you to everyone who listened to, shared this, and have supported me over the years." bro i literally grew up on this 😭 there was a website called planet axew and the creator made a mod of super mario flash by pouetpu and it had different skins on it.. your song here was for one theme of the levels.. i was like 11 now i'm 19 LOL good times 🥲

[@dhay03]

so retro and you just gotta love that little guy dancing he's sure full of spirit lol

[@MasterChibi]

It's one thing to have this sound so great, but another that I can't take my eyes off that adorable little dancing animation in the window. Haha.

[@maddievision]

Yes, this was 100% magical8bitplug, i used a lot of instances to simplify switching between different envelope/wave settings, but there are no more than 2 square waves, 1 triangle and 1 noise at any given time.

[@pokeness686]

I still can't help coming back to this video because it's just so perfect!

[@Shmosif]

you too?! I was thinking the same thing! it just has the Gold/Silver sound to it. I love it.

[@hanskritzel]

I love 8-bit soundtracks... ...and orchestral soundtracks too... ...and now... BOTH IN ONE!!!! awesome!

[@ebonygentleman79]

Yes, that is so true. From 8-bits to...what is it now? :) We saw this little hobby grow up and that's something special. I hear this song and I still see myself playing SMB, Contra and Tecmo Bowl for the first time as a tyke. I think of my younger sister, now 21, playing Sonic 2 on the Genesis when she was in kindergarten. Now my baby sister is saving Galaxies on the Wii. For all of the negative talk about video games, I can testify that it can bring families and friends together.

[@ChaztheWeasel]

A brilliant rendition. The 8-bit sound is a fun sound, making this more of a joy to listen to than the original in its own right. Wonderful work!

[@Maxmaxz]

I love the beep-i-deepiness of the old 8 Bit tunes and I'm sure I'll have this stuck in my head for ages. Well done!

[@Axtuse]

Hands down, the best 8-bit version of the song. Your arrangement really stays true to the variations and progression of the original music. Excellent work.

[@Hattakiri]

That's why I love Nintendo's music so much. It doesn't matter if 8-Bit or philharmonic orchestra - both fits perfectly =,)

[@KoopaKonartist]

I hear ya dude. The ear is the most trusting companion a DJ can have. You certianly can't see the tracks work their magic...oh wait maybe you can on FL studios. Those little bars...

[@destroyedtheozone]

I love just turning on my Wii an just listen to this song. I love it! So relaxing and it has a great melody. :D

[@CENTENOMONTOYA]

this does sound very nes which makes it AWESOME! plus the guy dancing is fun to watch :3

[@animalityyy]

Dude, this is FREAKING awesome!! I just imagined myself playing World 1-3 in the first mario game having this as background music XD

[@tjlnintendo]

This vid became 10 years old. Dios mios, time goes by fast.

[@Squirrelsquid]

Thats a great rendition of an awesome track! and... I've been looking for a good Chiptune VST for ages! thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

[@courtsinsessionfilms]

I must say. You did a perfect 8-bit rendition of this song. I listened to this in sync with the original version and it was perfect.

[@houndoom1234]

I love to see what these great tracks would have sounded like abt 10 yrs ago.

[@Tiger74147]

That little dancing character is awesome.

[@play5]

Holy shit, that works! This is SO rad. Though for me, I synced by starting this video right on 2. Amazing find though. I really wanna mix these two together now.

[@spikybry]

i just got shivers. This reminds me of the ol' Link's Awakening days

[@bamsb90]

There's no other way to say it... this is incredible.

[@KoopaKonartist]

So you can do this on FL studios? SWEET!!! I've listened to so much 8 bit awesomeness that I should have a knack for this. I probably won't be as good as you though.

[@Dconquist]

This makes so much more sense in 8 bit.

[@ReyaitheShadowWolf]

Sounds like the style that Shovel Knight used. ^^

[@MisterGoofy]

+ReyaitheShadowWolf Shovel Bros :)

[@esmooth919]

ReyaitheShadowWolf oddly enough, this remix was around LONG before Shovel Knight was a thought.

[@clairebun]

Holy shit. Amazingly catchy AND accurate. This does the original theme so much justice. Thanks a bunch for sequencing this.

[@JustB3NJI]

Excellent! If there was a doubt gusty garden is epic VGM, this just clarfied that!!!

[@ctrlaltdestroy000]

finally someone who used a converter that actually sounds 8 bit

[@federicoferrara8189]

2008?!i feel old!

[@bobzilla0101]

This song makes me very happy for some reason. I like it.

[@gaijintokyo5557]

what's with the dancing sprite

[@heilpotato]

it's art m8

[@DISTX-]

@@heilpotato Its called fruity dance or something

[@nwfrost]

The dancing sprite is called FL Chan

[@Gennintaido]

I don't know why, but this music is strangely calming to me...

[@isaypwnsj00]

Freakin awesome. It still kicks ass in 8-bit form! Great job dude.

[@flooger]

I swear this sounds like something out of pokemon red,blue and yellow xD Nice job :)) It was awesome!

[@mmg9444]

maaaaaaaan soooo much memories...Made me cry so hard 😩😫😢Reminds me of my best friend...

[@marselmusic]

yeah ikr!

[@Esonar]

Pure awesome. Pure uncut unfiltered awesome my friend. You win the internets.

[@DJPhilanegro]

God, hearing this blows me away every time. It feels weird saying that a chiptune can produce such emotion in its melodies. I might have commented on this in the past, but still - this is amazing.

[@BaconStein]

Best 8-bit version of this song I've heard so far. 5 stars, awesome job! :) Unlock the other 8-bit remakes I've heard, this one sounds real, like the game was actually 8-bit.

[@sogallant]

tight

[@maddievision]

Thanks man. Yeah I did this from scratch... I usually find doing an 8-bit before sequencing a full MIDI fun... almost enough that I don't bother with the full MIDI anymore, hahaha.

[@HomeWingGamer]

NICE! They could not contain the Awesome in a NES game, or the console would Explode!!!

[@duude1991]

ah. so this is why it was in my "Reccomended for you" box. i loved this.

[@maddievision]

Agree, this is my fave song in the game... The behind the scenes recording was nice too. I had to do a remix/rearrangement in some way but I decided this would be simple and fun to do :)

[@JornadaPro]

Wow! very well done! Actually sounds like ending music for a NES game rather than the 1st level :)

[@johannhowitzer]

The dancing FL-chans make this even more awesome... if that's possible.

[@ShiftK]

WOW! You'veput a goodamount of work into this, specialy the three little fruity dancers! GREAT JOB!!

[@maddievision]

Thanks :D I thought I'd give FL chan a spin on a full song. She could use a few more features but so far it has given me some reason to include more than just a static pic for this video. Maybe next time I might mix it with Chrome, we'll see.

[@Idsynchrono24]

In the words of Peter Moore: So awesome.

[@420frankyd]

Yo this is sick man i love the 8 bit sound. brings back memories lol

[@Ryuujin1078]

Still listening to this in 2017

[@shanemiller6114]

2019

[@kaflunker]

This was Super Mario Bros' original theme song, but the NES exploded from the sheer awesomeness so they changed it.

[@Flokker]

And everyone knows when it hits 1:25 you start crying in real life because of the awesomeness.

[@dork_side]

@djbouche Whoa, so you made that by ear? o.O if you did, thats incredible man.

[@Wupar]

whoa, tell me about it! i definitely see that! Crystal version was so EPIC...

[@kemsus]

This piece is even more awesome in 8bit :D:D

[@turkification]

best version of this song in 8-bit. Respect! peace.

[@maddievision]

Yep, you will find that is what I strive for in all my chiptune arrangements (except for maybe the ones done on hardware like the DKC2 one, since it's harder to get the exact tempo on those)

[@Afrowasi]

The job you did on this is too good!! Bravo!!

[@Mariobro4]

u're ta only decent 8-bit gusty garden i've been sweeping on u-tube FTW! KEEP IT UP

[@NdieCity]

Favorites: For The Creator Of "Ronald McDonald Insanity" xd

[@spekularyon]

It make me cry. In a good way though. All the memories playing Pokemon rushing back. I feel like I could turn on Crystal and there'll be an area that plays this.

[@LightsJusticeZ]

Awesome. Thanks again for not using a crappy Midi converter and call it 8-bit =_= This sounds real enough to me to be on a NES and GameBoy. 5/5 sir.

[@ArtFreak1193]

Ok, the music was fantastic; it gave me a nostalgic feeling of when I first got my wii and Super Mario Galaxy, and it was fantastically accurate... but That dancing Chibi is what hooked me! So cute! ｡◕‿‿◕｡ Dance Chibi, Dance!! (づ ◕ ‿‿ ◕)づ

[@jhjhjh3931]

ABChibi you a legend :D

[@Proman2]

That was seriously frikkin' insanely awsome!

[@FireballFlame]

...no, it certainly doesn't. That programm is one of the best music sequencers available ;)

[@WafflestheJohn]

Thats what I'd like to call a beastly song right there!

[@jTendoh]

man, I wish i had the time to do stuff like this. i love video game music!

[@DJPhilanegro]

Hah, I probably commented on this long ago, but it has to be said again - this is just amazing. I personally think I prefer your rendition. =)

[@Shankovich]

Nice man. wow, imagine if this was in the old mario games!!

[@Crisisdarkness]

This is very beautiful, good job, man.

[@thyzzie]

Woot! This is really very well done! It almost sounds better then in-game :P

[@Odinfrost]

The way this one sounds reminds me of Super Mario: The Six Golden Coins... those were days... But this is better. An awesome modern tune in a nostalgia version

[@ArtForSwans]

It's not awesome because it's orchestrated. It's awesome because it's some of the most kickass music for any video game I've ever played and/or heard of.

[@zeldafan88]

Very good! The instruments make it sound a little kirby like. :-)

[@mitchell2719]

that. was. worth of legend. what? did you think I was going to do a "how I met your mother" reference?

[@mary1517]

the best I have ever heard. Just splendid!

[@valepuns2852]

this is sooooooo good AHHH

[@anthonystephen1781]

this is awesome?! this is extrafantasticalsupermegaawesome!!

[@Usiema]

Awesome Gameboy chiptune style for the song. GREAT. =D

[@Kaaeru]

Sounds like something from Pokemon Gold and Silver lmao good job!

[@randomyoshi]

Awesome conversion! This goes into my favorites for sure. :)

[@turkification]

Best 8bit version of this song!

[@YellowYoshi398]

What a coincidence, I suggested that to my brother just earlier today!

[@DlNKYDANA]

Wow, just simply amazing! Thanks.

[@jhjhjh3931]

dude this is fucking awesome! youre really cool

[@maddievision]

I do things with music hacking in general. I enjoy reverse engineering, but with music mainly. You may remember the "Demo World 3" patch I created several years ago, which was the first to feature replacing the SMW engine with the SMAS engine (used in many first party games). Other than that I have been involved in things such as writing Sappy up to version 1.6 and looking at various GBC and N64 music engines.

[@adekCSguide]

1 word...master fl studio..i respect ^^

[@marselmusic]

this is 1,000 times better than the orchestra

[@nintendoin93]

the composer is genius

[@Hattakiri]

Even in 8 bit style this tune makes me cry =´´´´)
