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!

earthbound FTW FOR THE BEST GAME EVER MADE

[@anthonyqiu1442]

whoever did this has to be officially awarded by Nintendo

[@TomBobBlender]

:'o)

[@dedberd11]

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

[@UpIsNotJump]

I hope you win!

[@kitsinthewebs222]

Did he win?

[@kribbiotime69420]

Yes

[@burritomaster6000]

hey its up is not jump!

[@Edward-ko8mt]

Jesus it's upisnotjump

[@smalls1485]

Hello!

[@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!

[@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]

[@coolio_catio]

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

[@dominickkeys-jones9766]

CoolCatTelevision DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE SERIES THAT IS MOTH-oh wait it just ended. Well...Crap...there goes my diologe...

[@therealsquimby3191]

8 melodies is supposed to be simple

[@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.

[@dominickkeys-jones9766]

[@SQUIDWORD15]

Still crying?

[@ZekDraco]

No crying until the end.

[@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!

[@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

[@tripcmpunk]

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

[@AnimeboyIanpower]

0:08 Give it some words, and... KINDA sounds like Updog...

[@ascension_lad3125]

[@jasirilindsay7324]

[@AnimeboyIanpower]

NOT MUCH, WHAT'S UP WITH *YOU???*

[@jasirilindsay7324]

AnimeboyIanpower WWWWWOOOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

[@ObservingPaul678]

What is updog

[@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.

[@thetemmienatorgamingreview8209]

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

[@fantasyman6308]

Pollyanna was insane

[@Silver_Red4248]

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

[@Cane-Aubright]

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

[@AnimeMasterD]

Hey Mother/Earthbound fans! I have a proposal. What if we all try to come together as fans and the year of 2015 will be the Year Of Earthbound!

[@xLoadez]

I like that idea. But how do we do it...? o.o

[@AnimeMasterD]

TwistedLeaf26 We tell everybody that 2015 will be year of earthbound and that we will have celebrations. I'm not really sure.

[@elcaltrider]

No, it needs to be in the year 201X

[@AnimeMasterD]

Evan Caltrider Of course! how could I forget the X?

[@RadshyguyRadish]

Mother 4 confirmed Mother 1 and 3 come to VC Lucas gets in smash then the series ends (if he wants it to I don't mind there being a 5th) there you go

[@HoodoHoodlumsRevenge]

Mother 1 is in my opinion kinda outdated and slow, but still a good game. Mother 3 is the best in the series and is slightly better than Earthbound. It is also a very, very sad game.

[@legospacememe8468]

I see you came from humble beginnings

[@RaposadoAgreste]

tomorrow this video will complete 12 years L.O.L

[@seelkadoom319]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@SigmaExcel]

Thats awesome ^^ Pokey made 109 accounts to dislike this ^^

[@mootbooxle]

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

[@PloopusProductions]

This brings me smiles and tears

[@gagethoreson3902]

Even tho the E3 robot chicken thing was funny, the gtfo from reggie was not.

[@Moomoo254]

Look where reggie is now. Kappa

[@kingofthebis1068]

Momo take that back you bitch

[@pilpyfimbleton8918]

Give this guy a medal!

[@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!!

[@limabeanyes3344]

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

[@L33PL4Y]

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

[@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!

[@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)

[@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...

[@Boooo]

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

[@Kirbyex420]

This is freaking amazing

[@rebelwilt7009]

How's Project Ultimate Chimera doing, King P?

[@EpicEric25]

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

[@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.

[@PloopusProductions]

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

[@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.

[@javieralejandrotrianapaz6343]

[@meideetheartist2503]

That’s from the original game.. yes it is the victory but it’s also from its own game.

[@kirisame9657]

Nintendo hire this man Or at least don't sue him

[@Eighteenthmelody]

This is my new favorite video on youtube

[@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.

[@Silver_Red4248]

One of the best videos on KZbin. 💖💖

[@aurum3404]

My god i love the random cat and dog in the songs xD

[@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.

[@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 ;-)

[@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.

[@bosschungles]

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

[@poetrader]

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

[@NorthernWind0]

Mmmmm IMO this should have ended with the Mother 1 Title theme... other than that? Perfect.

[@Itsbeanboy58]

0:20 reminds me of one of Ness psi but forgot what it's called

[@Mswordx23]

Amazing job, man, incredible, all except... [music theory nerd mode] Regarding that "Smiles and Tears" rendition, you tried to change the key to F... Have you ever heard of the note B-flat? [/music theory nerd mode] Half-kidding. Anyway, again, incredible job, I love this franchise and this music, especially your renditions.

[@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!

[@AdamCrossing]

ah man this look like it took forever to make, but the effort really shows. Awesome job pushing Mario Paint to its limits ^^

@@TomBobBlender rewatching this video after 9 years. Great stuff!!

[@superdoglogan]

A great video

[@trumps_toupee]

Haha, I'm 16 and still digging up these old games. I do remember some classics, though, since I have 25 year old, and 21 year old brothers. I actually do love those more than the newschool games. As a matter of fact, I'm missing Super Mario World, Super Mario 1, Donkey Kong Country, and Eternal Champions right about now. I wish I had EarthBound for the SNES, but I guess I'll have to do with emulation.

[@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.

[@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~
