Shiver Star [8-Bit; MMC5] - Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Happy holidays! Here's an MMC5 8-Bit cover + remix of the Shiver Star theme from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards!
This is easily one of my favorite snowy level themes from any game, and it deserves more than the simple 8-bit cover treatment. I got kinda carried away though. Remix starts at 1:18
Created in Famitracker. Feel free to use in your own videos, so long as you credit me.

For some reason I saw this and thought, "Why the hell would he do the factory theme? That is not Christmas, that song is pure depression." I was wrong.avi.

[@uppindown8466]

That's Factory Inspection, my dude

[@PizzaBagels589]

I love how honestly happy this music is. It's as if the song itself is so happy to be a song, like kirby is so happy to be a game.

Ignoring the fact that this is the theme of post-apocalyptic earth.

This cover really cheered me up! So glad I found your channel!

[@WolfHack]

Whoah that break at 2:38 is incredible

[@spiritchills1994]

This was very well thought out and made. The 3rd time around, it sounds like something snail's house would make! Snail's house style starts at 2:38

[@Anguishjumps]

Reminds me a lot of Pixel Galaxy by Snail's House. This is great! Really hope Inspecting The Factory gets done at some point.

[@supahstarclod]

That's exactly what I thought too! This arrangement takes an unexpected turn into a future bass style and I love it so much

[@mybanks1014]

It gave me that vibe too!! 👏🏻✨

[@DMP64]

lmao me too

[@ShineTermiten]

Revisiting a little!

[@Axle075]

Whoa dude. I'm sure this took quite a bit of time and effort, but you should definitely consider doing more remixes like this. This is quite a gem right here.

[@workinprogress8978]

If only 8-bit systems were actually capable of this level of musical complexity. That baseline bridge in the middle is exquisite!

[@danielgoodman5484]

Amazing job - sounds wonderful.

[@AdonisNesser]

2:49 hits so hard and I want everyone to know that

[@Luigion7]

I'm not sure how I didn't find this sooner, but now I'm looping it _all day._

[@squarewavewitch]

this is so good

[@supahstarclod]

Holy crap, I would die for an FTM of this arrangement - I only recently discovered your channel and it oozes of talent and creativity. Keep it up, your arrangements are phenomenal!

[@SeanGM]

Quite possibly the best 8-bit remix I've ever heard. Bravo.

[@BudderCobi]

I didn't read the remix part! I was surprised when that drop came out of nowhere. I enjoy this like :)

Pretty sure I first saw this on my Xbox, so I specifically got my phone out to leave this comment lol

[@aaa1234special]

I love this so much

[@Apemon7]

Just started listening to your tracks. I love how in this song you convert it into 8-bit at the beginning, and then turn it into a remix after the first loop. I basically get two cool things at once. You are a god among men and you have earned a subscriber.

[@Nogahs]

Branflakes, this is easily one of your most underrated works. I would listen to a whole album of you doing kirby tracks. I listen to this whenever I'm doing any busywork, and it helps the day go by faster. Keep it up!

[@nik.olas328]

You have fantastic skills with transforming the original tune with these excellent arrangements. Great job!

[@dougwinning449]

This is a BOP! 🌠

This is an AMAZING remix. Looking forward to diving deeper into your channel

Shiver star theories: *absolute dark*

[@IZRthe1st]

if u talk abt theories well i found iceberg

[@Syrupsyke]

@@IZRthe1st Iceberg is the fourth level in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and, true to its name, is largely a snow and ice level, where Kirby is introduced to the Ice ability. It is also the first level to have more than 4 stages, having 5. When played on a Super Game Boy, the level features an indigo hue and the stage select area sports high-pitched wind noises. The Boss of Iceberg is Ice Dragon. This level follows Ripple Field and is followed by Red Canyon.

Why does this sound like modern music. I'm not mad, just curious.

[@mcihay246]

It may depend on the style of the arranger's choosing. Which can be determined by listening to their other arrangements.
