I always thought Paper Mario music worked well in rock, never really disappoints either.

Makes sense. Paper covers rock, after all.

"You want this, amigo? This little rock over here, are you serious? Well, that's no problem, here, take it. What do I need one or two extra gems for? I did not really like that one anyways. My only question now is, if this was all you wanted, why didn't you just say so, earlier?"

“I’ll turn your mustache into a bone polisher, amigo! Yohohohohoho!” Im happy this song got a remix, good stuff man!

[@aaronTGP_3756]

Now it's: “I’ll turn your mustache into a bone polisher! Yohohohohoho!” They switched out Cortez's saying "amigo" for different Spanish phrases, which was a great little change.

[@j-rex229]

[@Fierycascade]

Yesss, I'm glad the remake is bringing about more Paper Mario music! Also I LOVE the shift from the original to the remake partway through.

"Muy bien! You struck gold with this cover, lad. Bravo!" - Kind regards, Cortez, The Pirate King of Keelhaul Key.

Also, calling it right now, next is gonna be Battle of Li'l Slugger from Super Meat Boy!

[@Temnxeiz]

After hearing the new version in the TTYD remake I was blown away that it just turned into a Doom song lol. And after hearing it, I was hoping you'd do a remix of it at somepoint, but I wasn't expecting it this soon! Anyways, banger as always Jonny!!

[@AquaAtia]

This is amazing! Crossing my fingers for a Macho Grubba remix one day

[@Froggysarus]

That would be a bop

[@matthewbankey5547]

I love that you included some of the xylophone-sounding stuff from the original battle theme, as cool as the remake’s battle theme was, I was disappointed that this aspect of Cortez’s theme was downplayed.

[@Sqwivig]

Saaaaamme!!

[@mskirby6442]

"I will bite you." -Cortez, maybe It's wild just how amazing the TTYD remake music was, and yet you still somehow made it even cooler?!? And come on, those distorted vocals from the Origami King Legionary boss fight tracks, pure perfection

[@aaronTGP_3756]

It's awesome you did the victory outro at the end. It's really cool they have those, ever since Origami King. Ever since Yoshito Sekigawa (formerly Hirano) returned to Paper Mario, he's been cooking. He also did a great job playing the guitar in this remake.

[@nintendo-nut1]

Thank you, Jonny, for informing me that the new part of the remake Cortez theme I love so much is a kalimba. Thank you, again, for beefing up that kalimba part so much. And thank you, one more time, for letting Bowser perform it so enthusiastically.

[@roryrainbow77]

Thanks to the remake this is one of my favorite songs in TTYD now, they did the song SO much justice. Excellent cover, I love how you did the build up to the climax in an even more fitting way to the pirate theme

[@AStandsForFrench]

I saw that preview image and was like..."that has a weird silhouette...like Omega from Sonic, with a chainsaw..." and then plumbed the depths of my older indie game knowledge, and the beginning notes of BATTLE OF LIL SLUGGER percolated into my brain, and I literally irl pogged

[@N0PH0B14]

Yoooo! That's gonna go so hard!

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

OHH a super meat boy cover... wait which version

[@bandagegirl]

I could swear that sprite is from Super Meat Boy Forever? From the minigame where you destroy Lil Slugger.

[@DiegoRiser]

I just finished the Cortez fight in TTYD and you nailed everything about his boss theme from the beat drops to the suspenseful tone of the fight. Amazing work!

[@Rubberman202]

I, for one, am hoping there are more Paper Mario: the Thousand-Year Door covers, especially since the remake REALLY loves using the electric guitar in a lot of its battle themes!

[@Nimta]

I love these tracks that crank up the intensity by slowing down, instead of trying to blind you with a blistering pace

[@AntasmaTheBatKing]

You... You have distinguished yourself in this battle theme! Excelente, amigo! You are worthy in my eyes!

[@C_Arson]

If I had a Nickel for every time Mario fought a pirate captain to get a shiny star thing, and then that pirate helped him fight a 3rd party that tried to steal said shiny star thing, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

[@Froggysarus]

The shark boss from rpg and the funny skeleton right?

[@C_Arson]

@@Froggysarus Correct.

[@jonleepinyuanlakesideps5358]

Oh yeah,that is weird

[@AGFilms1296]

“I’m a pirate darnit! Not some crying ghost!” Hail to the Pirate King Cortez. The only truly immortal being to ever get his ass kicked by Mario, and just laugh in his face as he gets back up like “lol no you”

[@LouX453]

2:06-2:21 for some reason this whole part makes me think of the Asriel fight part where you can't do anything but struggle...

[@ShadowReaper1227X]

Ngl, was kinda hoping you’d add the part at 0:34-0:49 that the official remake left out of the theme 😢 Still goes hard, but missing that little detail even Nintendo overlooked

[@azurebalmung4520]

You know, with all these random arrangements of bone, you kinda have to wonder what Cortez looked like when he was alive.

[@killercroc99]

Thank you Jonny! I have been begging for this for HOW LONG?

[@AgentIllusion73]

Just think, Mario was the first to fight Skeletron in his full pirate glory.

[@ScourgeBladeZelda]

You know, I was just thinking "I wonder when GaMetal will remix the Cortez Theme" since I was kinda mixed on the remake's take on it and lo and behold this pops up in my feed. Oddly it almost feel like this is trying to be it's own thing rather then just remix the theme and I dig it. Great work as always!

[@rmzing]

When I first heard the music for this in the remake, I knew there just HAD to be a GaMetal mix coming up for it. The gameplay footage showcases a move I didn't even know Cortez had. Usually, the people I know just power through this boss in one turn per phase, so I had no idea there was a desperation move hiding in the code for the third one. He definitely needed more health.

[@parzival-bo]

Yeah I figured we'd be getting TTYD songs sooner rather than later... Requesting Ark Mall from Astral Chain.

[@AntasmaTheBatKing]

Oh, yeah! Add that to the fact I got The Thousand-Year Door for an early b-day present, and you have yourself one satisfied fan! Thanks, GaMetal!

[@starrodpiplup]

Always a treat to see you upload, and even more on my birthday! RATTLE ME BONES!!!

[@Lucca_Time]

This cover is SO brilliant! I really like the way they went with the Remake of Cortez' theme! Your take on the already heavy rock theme is even more heavy! LOVE IT! Also edit: I REALLY LIKE to imagine that all those bosses have a "live-band" playing on stage with 'em. Would kind of fit the game and it's mechanic.

[@gtaranza7416]

I played this game for the first time a couple weeks ago and when I fought this guy, my first thought was "Man, this song would sound pretty sweet if Gametal covered it". Little did I know.....

[@kitaco550]

久しぶりのペーパーマリオアレンジ素晴らしいです！！ぜひプリンス・マッシュバトルもプレイしてほしいです！

[@gamerdude491]

It’s absurd that not only did the original game do a legendary job with its tracks, but the remake doubled down with just as many bangers. Cortez has always been one of my favorites. Definitely going on my car playlist.

[@Consolous]

I think this number is fine. Jonny does like, 40+ songs a year, I don't think 15 is too much to request. Also, I could really stretch this list out to like, 200 if I wanted to, so this is small in comparison lol

[@edboi8114]

Paper Mario always has banger songs, and the fact this was planned for before the remake only to be made better by the remake having a good new version of it makes it more awesome.

Future Gate/Theme of Hexazeon (Puzzle and Dragons) 5. Bellum Phase 1-3 (The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass) 6. Battle! Frontier Brain (Pokemon Platinum) 7. Infinite's Theme (Sonic Forces) 8. Trunks Theme (Dragon Ball FighterZ) 9. Burning Throb/Battle Theme (Trails of Cold Steel IV) 10. Cosmic Clash and Hyperspace Rumble (LunarLux)

Treasure! That is what you are. Whoops, I'm getting Bruno Mars vibes here haha. But anyway, i really love the way you cover like that. This is a best remake to hear ftom you, if you heard an announcement of a new Nintendo game, fans will love it. Hope you cover them as well!
