Earthbound / Mother Medley on Mario Paint

[@EluTran]

It's been so many years since I've last come to this video, but this medley still means so much to me. Suddenly got reminded of Mario Paint covers and it led me back to here. Can't believe this video is this old now?

[@acidrivers]

Hi Elu Tran nice seeing you here!

whoever did this has to be officially awarded by Nintendo

[@TomBobBlender]

:'o)

[@CatRyu]

Better yet Shegeto Itoi himself

[@zoltier]

Anthony Nan Qiu Nintendo doesn't care at all, he needs a reward from Itoi.

[@blamethelag4992]

Itoi died tho...

[@CanoTheVolcano]

Specifically Mr. Itoi

[@bjcantrell1990]

Props for using the original Mario Paint.

[@sxiong559]

First 30 seconds of this vid and I'm like "Oh this looks easy to do." and then the rest of the song came up and I'm like WTH...... That's so OP!

[@dominickkeys-jones9766]

sxiong559 When the Op takes a backhanded curve outta da blue...

[@BlastTheBat]

I find it fitting how you opened with the first set of Eight Melodies and closed with the second set (the one expanded upon in Smiles and Tears)

[@TomBobBlender]

After all these years, I think you're the first one to ever catch on to my madness. I'm impressed! Thanks for listening!

[@coolio_catio]

While listening to beginning: This is the laziest thi- Oh... OH. THIS IS AMAZIIIIIING

[@SQUIDWORD15]

Still crying?

[@ZekDraco]

No crying until the end.

[@TinyKittenKisses]

I love how you blended Twooson with Pollyana! :D

[@luiginumber1219]

That really great idea

[@NO_MONEY-98]

And the runway five

[@r4shka]

This is amazing, especially considering the fact that you worked with the original ROM, which is way more restrictive than its PC software counterpart. Congratulations, buddy!

[@TomBobBlender]

r4shka thank you!! It was such a fun project for me.

[@jftuxxy864]

+TomBobBlender The Mother series for some reason reminds me of the short time I have on this world and that I shouldn't waste my time here.

[@denzelnolet]

Woolydog The Wolfman Words to live by.

[@luvkirby4ever]

THAT HOTEL THEME THO. Seriously I love this entire thing but it was at that point that I decided that Mario Paint is perfect at showing off the Mother series' quirky side.

[@tripcmpunk]

Man its been at least a decade since I listened to this. I still love it.

[@jessenoobgoogs5001]

Poor poor mario.. he must be tired...he jump till the end.. . . . But it's worth it for this masterpiece

[@ThatGrimmzly]

No jumping till the end!

[@thetemmienatorgamingreview8209]

Amazing Job!!!! As a huge Mother Fan, I say you done well. I mean like, why would anyone dislike such amazing work.

[@kirbykona]

earthbound was my first game i ever played

[@waitressroyal]

That had to be one hell of a emotional trip.

[@dominickkeys-jones9766]

Inkling kirby WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY FRIENDS DO NOT SAY ANOTHER GOD DAMN WORD MY NEW BEASTIE AMIGO PAL WE ARE NOW AN INSEPARABLE PAIR DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I WILL NOT LISTEN TO YOU I LIKE YOU BUDDY PAL!!!

[@newdykung6775]

And Mother3 is many hell of emotional trips

[@itzedd1e]

Same buddy except before these amazing series was mario zelda then the mother series

[@itzedd1e]

I will always be a fan

[@Cane-Aubright]

The fact that this was made in the original ROM makes this 1000 times better.

[@fantasyman6308]

Pollyanna was insane

[@MadameTeqi]

How have I only just discovered this? I'm scrubbing away happy tears from such a sweet tribute. Really hoping you won all those years ago, but even if you didn't, know it still holds power

[@TomBobBlender]

Thank you so very much!!! This made my day! :0)

[@MadameTeqi]

No problem whatsoever! And now that I've read the description (it's later here oops), congrats on that quite well deserved win!

[@TomBobBlender]

@@MadameTeqi thank you! It was this contest that first got my interest invested into the Mother series and I fell in love with it all!

[@Silver_Red4248]

I'm so glad I found this masterpiece. To bad it's been 12 years 😆

[@seelkadoom319]

Listening to this always puts a silly little smile on my face

[@L33PL4Y]

This gave me chills. My god, man. You've done it. You've created a masterpiece.

[@sadgoy.]

Omg... did you really make this? It's amazing. One of the greatest well thought out pieces on MP. Damn dude. You're amazing to have done this. Keep up the good work.

[@Eighteenthmelody]

This is my new favorite video on youtube

[@Silver_Red4248]

One of the best videos on KZbin. 💖💖

[@Marzen64]

dude... perfect. The cuts are clean and barely recognizable. The melody and the songs are easy to pick out for old players, and very enjoyable. What also blows my mind is how you made it in the old Mario Paint! This video gets five stars, the songs get five stars, and you, my friend, get as many stars as you could possibly want.

[@EpicEric25]

This is fabulous, so glad it was recommended to me!👍

[@yoseflandy]

I was looking for an earthbound medley and I came upon this video. its a very great medley! it must've taken some time but it was worth it! great job!!

[@PloopusProductions]

This brings me smiles and tears

[@limabeanyes3344]

I for one love earthbound and am confused about how I have only found this recently. great job!!!

[@8arcadian]

This just made my day! Always good to be reminded of your childhood, when things were a lot simpler, only having to worry about whether or not you can make the next save point before dinner! Thanks so much for this! One of my favorite series!

[@zetto156]

This video has been on my favorites list for a couple years now and I still come back and listen to it periodically, this is such a beautiful medley, even being made in Mario Paint. Only way it could be better would be if it were orchestrated! Love the arrangement, love the medley, well done, thank you for this.

[@PinClockFuntime]

Congradulations on winning Pk Tubin', this video fully deserved it. As a fellow participator, I salute you on your victory. this music was lovely from start to end.

[@poetrader]

Oh man, this is so beautiful. I'll be spreading this one around because it really deserves to win SOMETHING. Good luck!!

[@bosschungles]

I came back after years to listen to this video again... Twoson just gives me Goosebumps...it's just so beautiful on this

[@TomBobBlender]

@U2becommenter thanks for your wonderful comments! In terms of the harmonization, I tried inverting the interval, and it didn't sound pleasant to me. I often switch instruments mid-melody for the sake of passing the melody to other voices, much like an orchestra would. Sometimes it's handy for octave transpositions as well, given the narrow melodic range. The timbre of Mario Paint is difficult to work with, and various combinations/octave placement of notes pose that wonder challenge.

[@Mushroomy653]

Wow, did nobody see this comment? Huh. Well, thank you so much for this. It’s really beautiful.

[@mootbooxle]

This is GREAT!!!!! The Earthbound music is some of the greatest video game music ever made.

[@Morgil27]

Yes! As soon as I saw your earlier Earthbound videos, I wanted to hear you do Eight Melodies. You did not disappoint, my dear sir.

[@adolfobaez]

I got goosebumps at 00:·32, that really touched my hidden geek side, awesome transitions, I specially enjoyed the hotel transition, no wonder why you are the most respected mario paint musician around here, the best of luck to you ;-)

[@InvaderZim897]

My friend showed me this a really long time ago and I didn't recognize any. Now, having developed an interest in the series and its music, and also playing through some of EarthBound, I recognize nearly all of it. Great job, and now I'll give it the five stars it deserves from me.

[@professorsirpirate3180]

I'm gonna cry

[@TomBobBlender]

@tristman99 the idea was the recreate the eight separate melodies using eight separate voices, as depicted in the original Mother game. Everything about this arrangement was carefully crafted. :0)

[@pilpyfimbleton8918]

Give this guy a medal!

[@jspektrum]

THIS NEEDS SO MUCH MORE ATTENTION

[@reidman]

Unbelievable! It started out so slow, I was like "oh man he better not play that same thing for 7 minutes". But then it suddenly morphed into this incredible arrangement -- fantastic work! I'll definitely be rooting for your video.

[@calebharris2502]

Great job. The original game, too. I had the thing on the original system, with the clunky plastic thing to use the mouse on. Sadly, i don't hear much of MOTHER 3, here. Did you not know about it? Oh well.

[@LycanLink]

Man, there's so many people out there who use MPC with all these soundfonts, or whatever, but if you ask me, a true artist works within his limits. Way to go, man. You're one of the best MP composers out there, dude. Honestly. I mean, they're not technically your songs, but it doesn't make what you do much less impressive.

[@PloopusProductions]

You can call me Pollyanna call me crazy call me a loon but these are amazing

[@Thomal9]

Nearly four years later and this still makes me happy.

[@GoldenPickaxe]

You know what I would love? If the CEO of Nintendo America saw this and cried so hard he demanded that Earthbound be ported to VC. Then he sent a letter to Nintendo of Japan asking if they could collaborate and make a Mother 4. 16 bit, just like the old days. And release it on the DS. And the offer is accepted, and the greatest game ever is made, and comes over to America. And then Mother 1 and 3 are ported to DS and VC. Ah, if only...

[@KitsunejinKitsune]

This is an amazing tribute to one of the most amazing and lesser known series in Nintendo History. You have done an amazing job on it, and the award was well deserved. *Stamp of Approval*

[@Shinryusama]

Earthbound was, indeed, announced for the VC. And there was much rejoicing. =) Awesome stuff Tom, a true pleasure to watch/listen to as always.

[@VGjoe]

You never cease to amaze me. Your skill of avoiding all the chromatic problems are awesome. there's no wonder that you won the contest!

[@AdamCrossing]

Fav part 1:40

[@530tomi]

It's so heartwarming... Two favorite games from my childhood. Thank you for your beautiful work!

[@SpadeSanosuke]

I seriously can't believe how amazing this was. Fantastic job and congrats on winning the contest :D

[@Boooo]

Good job using the original rom and still making it sound good!

[@BingoBoi2]

Been on a Mother nostalgia run lately, and it's always nice coming back to this little arrangement!

[@jst2384]

AWESOME, thanks for the download link, i will now spend many happy hours listening to this over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over :)

[@TomBobBlender]

what an amazing compliment 🥰 thank you!!

[@Flashuser52283]

@@TomBobBlender can u upload the mp3 file again?

[@pikachuforpresident]

I got a little cold chill watching this. You're a Mario Paint inspiration, my friend. The fact you don't do it in composer is part of what makes it so great, I think. Makes me want to try my hand at it, hahaha. By the way, I have to say, I got a little chuckle out of the Hotel theme - I don't think I see you use the baby icon too often to so it was fun to see it included. Wonderful job as always.

[@IAmElectrospecter]

I loved hearing the Twoson theme segue into Onett. This is a damn skilled piece, thanks a ton!

[@pederpbsds]

I remember listening to this as a kid and being totally immersed, having never heard of Earthbound before. I simply love this arrangement

[@shinmizux]

wow thanks for this. really hit me with a bit of nostalgia. great stuff all around. feeling like i should give someone a hug now.

[@Tikku4ever]

Seriously, Earthbound was a perfect game. This brought a tear to my eyes. I loved Earthbound. Its still my favorite game ever. Well done. I applaud you. I'm speechless

[@Graedius]

Hahah, this is fucking awesome, man. Your talent has always struck a chord with me, such wonderful songs who'se tunes I've listened to all throughout my childhood, redone in the most nerdly and true game-loving manner -- the things you can do given the limitations of simple Mario Paint is truly astounding. The original songs in the this melody were beautiful and unsurprisingly, so is the conversion you've done. You sort-of keep alive a feeling that's all but lost in music and video games~

[@Kirbyex420]

This is freaking amazing

[@rebelwilt7009]

How's Project Ultimate Chimera doing, King P?

[@Richitsu]

Best one yet! You are too good at this, I'd say to do more Earthbound/Mother but I think you covered most of them here. Once again, awesome job!

[@MrDawmination]

My favorite series for a reason :) Some games make me cry. Some make me smile, and some just grab my attention and keep me playing. MOTHER...did all of those things :') Thanks a ton TomBob, that really tugged at the heartstrings! Now excuse me guys, I'm going to go play EarthBound again.

[@ShinRockman]

Pollyanna just sounds so good on mario paint :) Congrats on the win for the Pk Tube'n contest. You're the best and probally will be the best on mario paint :P

Absolutely fantastic. You won the contest hands down with this piece of art.

[@AncientGuru]

As always, an absolutely awesome job. This time combined with being a dedication to the supporters of Earthbound. Perhaps one day Nintendo will stop being short-sighted and release Mother 3.

[@hidetolove]

you are so brilliant. My boyfriend just beat Earthbound, and his brother almost cried. I've just started playing and, I'm absolutely taken aback at how powerful it is.

[@josmancilla958]
