Flipside (Super Paper Mario) - arranged by Scruffy

[@tbtb66]

Excellent arrangement The soft clarinets and accordion really add to the " cleanliness" of Flipside and the funky bass adds to the "dirtiness" of Flopside Well done

[@WaterMusic34]

Yup. Exactly

[@binglemccringle705]

genuinely this "breakdown" could not be both more succinct and on the nose genuine 12/10

[@10thletter40]

I love how flopside was jazzier, showcasing its more chaotic, but fun nature of gameplay.

[@majororion2374]

Agreed

[@kanakkes7049]

True

[@CrappyBlue]

i used to be an active member on a super paper mario message board themed after the one-off joke website name francis makes mention of in chapter 3, and i got there because i liked this game so much when i played it on launch. listening to this brought me back to that time in my life, 15 years ago at this point. beautiful arrangement, scruffy.

[@Ackari]

an original nerr from digibutter!! the community is quite small now, but its still around lol

[@oi_bruv]

digibutter.nerr was quite the spectacle to look up back when the internet was newer

[@tech6hutch]

I always wondered if it was, or was made into, a real website

[@Ibbys_space]

I saw that out of curiosity, if I knew how forums and all worked properly then i'd gladly join haha

The use of Memory as percussion at the end there... Actually gorgeous.

[@hamman91]

This is fresh as hell. If Nintendo ever remade this game along with it's soundtrack, this sounds like the type of arrangement they would make.

[@jeremyie]

honestly, just a hq version of the original tracks would be just fine

[@cowboyluigi5275]

@@jeremyie I mean, the song was made for the Wii. cant really get much more HQ than that.

[@jeremyie]

@@cowboyluigi5275 youd be surprised most of the music on the disk is half quality technically, the songs are stored in 44.1khz, which is standard hq, but theyre 2x the speed they should be, which means that when theyre played back in game, that quality gets cut in half why did they do that? idk a few of the game's tracks (the mr L tracks to be precise) have been released in actual hq in the year of luigi sound collection, and the difference is definitely palpable

[@hajilee4539]

​@@cowboyluigi5275 Actually Super Paper Mario's music in particular sounds really compressed.

[@PumpkinWarlock]

God I’d give anything for a remake of this game with better graphics a remastered soundtrack and rpg battles like ttyd. Hopefully one day.

[@circuitrionjuliusbreaker9924]

Good stuff, dude. Brings back memories of playing this game back in 2009.

[@-Noro-]

It came out in 2007?

[@slenderfoxx3797]

This is one of those rare remixes that I think are better than the original. It just feels like an upgrade while remaining 100% true to the same aesthetic and integrity as the original piece. It's not going for a completely different style...yet the additions only make it feel more alive. It also helps you brought the sound quality itself up. The Flopside remix was just brilliant too. So quirky and bouncy. Love it!! Keep it up good sir.

[@antoniocesar8091]

Ohhhh, the ticking clock at the end. Honestly the thumbnail by itself made me cry of joy and nostalgia, it's been a hot minute since I was able to play Super Paper Mario and it surely is one of my favorite games of all time! Thank you so much, Scruffy ✨

[@ThatNerdAlbert]

I LITERALLY just remembered Super Paper Mario and went to go hear the Flipside music. An hour later, Scruffy uploads a version of his own! Neat coincidence!

[@spaghoe]

oh damn didn’t expect to see you here 😭 hi albert!!

[@ThatNerdAlbert]

@@spaghoe hi

[@worldstallestoff-brandmoch4326]

I remember when I was a kid and I would get so excited when I unlocked Peach, Bowser, and finally Luigi. I got the game for my birthday and didn’t know a thing about it. After struggling through that blasted mansion with Mimi ,gripping through the two 100 level dungeons to get the speed pixl and infinite 3D power, and piling up 9999 coins to get your partner back as a robot. I really miss this game. Thanks for making this!

[@gigoe]

the layering in this is crazy. . the live accordion meshes so well !!!!

[@torioto]

Great arrangement. I haven't played this game in more than a decade and it gave me full nostalgia.

[@jamesgater]

THIS SONG IS SO GOOD. I did not expect a Super Paper Mario arrangement, of all Mario games to do, but I'm not complaining. This game is legendary and underrated. Your mixture of live instruments and the iconic synth sounds from the game are PERFECT. Bravo.

[@oxybrightdark8765]

I know this game isn't beloved by previous paper msrio fans, but it's the first in the series I've played and I absolutely adore it.

[@starlite5154]

It's my n°1 game personally

[@chroniclesofstuffplushplesh]

Huh, me too!

[@slenderfoxx3797]

I actually like this game as well as the first 2. To me this is the finale of the Paper Mario Trilogy!

[@iratepirate3896]

I'd go as far as to say, as someone who has played the games since the early 2000s and followed the discourse for many years, that SPM is widely regarded as a flawed gem , closer in quality to the original two games than the awful sequels.

[@coltonk.3086]

I'm with ya!

[@mochasumi]

I love this arrangement- the ending having the audio style of Memory is a great touch!

[@PhilBo-fp9mz]

And the beginning

[@GabeTStarman]

I’m transported back, 11 years ago, my brother and I playing not stop for 3 days to finish this heartfelt game. We were so captivated. Thanks for this wonderful arrangement, it’s what I love.

[@christianbuskirk1471]

Some people may hate me for this but I dont care. Super Paper Mario has the best story in the series

[@Savannahthehyenaqueen]

Love the swing and solos in flopside’s theme! It helps emphasize its own identity from flipside. Super Paper Mario is one of my favorite games, thank you for this incredible arrangement!

[@virtueisdead]

this is absolutely brilliant! and gah, the memories! this game absolutely made my childhood. my parents still call stopping points in games "save blocks" sometimes :P

[@bren1314]

That was great! I would love to hear you arrange The Ultimate Show from this game. That song is a banger!

[@TheBlumieriest]

yess +_+ it would be so cool, that or mr L's theme with some swing

[@bren1314]

@@TheBlumieriest Both would be great! I like your swing idea.

[@sizztuna]

Ah, hearing this brings back a lot of memories. The inclusion of Flopside and the subtle detail of the clock ticking from Memory at the end makes it clear a lot of care was put into this. Great arrangement as always, Scruffy!

[@Zolerian]

I noticed that in the Flopside section, the title in the video actually changes to Flopside, good detail. And, those ticking clock hands at the end... I love them. They are really characteristic of this game, I hope more games use them in their soundtracks. Also, well done not putting your "outro bongos" at the end here. They really bring up the atmosphere after the clock ticks.

[@TheCaptainBlackimar]

SPM getting some love man I love to see it. Was super happy to hear that second half too.

[@Platinum_XYZ]

wow your recreation is spot on (like always)! I never understand how it's even possible to get so close and get such clean mixes at the same time. you're incredibly talented!

The transition to flopside 😁

[@Safesi1509]

GOD, this brings back a lot of memories from when I was little! My brother and I have spent hours playing this game, and although we still haven't beaten the game, we're amazingly close to finishing it. This was the little push I needed to beating Super Paper Mario once and for all! Thanks for the feels, Scruffy!

[@spiderluver0]

Thank you for bringing attention to this overlooked classic.

[@maimmes]

Thank you for posting this, SPM is my favorite game made by Nintendo. I love it when it receives the attention it deserves

[@Noobjaref]

I honestly didn’t expect a paper mario one, but i know this gonna sound very well. Also thoughts on this paper mario?

[@thegreenrobby7402]

SPM is a fantastic game and my personal favorite in the PM series. I think it doesn't get as much love as the other PM games because it breaks the formula in a lot of ways, but it's still a rockstar game in every other respect.

[@Michael-su7ip]

excellent and sad story. platforming and adventure game with RPG elements instead of an RPG. i love it

[@Noobjaref]

@@Michael-su7ip i can agree in that, but i wonder if they ever gonna use this concept every again in another paper mario game, and the plot of very odd to remember since i played it as a child

[@Noobjaref]

@@thegreenrobby7402 definitely can agree with that, but also isn’t this the most 50/50 game in the series to most people? Personally i love playing it even if i don’t remember much of the plot!

[@pg3384]

Loved the game. Great music and amazing story. I grew up playing this game, and I think this is one of the games that sort of contributed to my mindset where I value an rpg's story over its gameplay.

[@starlite5154]

This is just perfect, SPM is one of my favorite games, if not my favorite game and Flipside/Flopside must be one of the songs i heard the most, so hearing a fresh take on it is magical

[@Drewskiac]

So fantastic. Just impeccable music. The little reference to Memory is the icing on the cake, and an already delicious cake at that. Memory was my favorite tune in the game, it'd bring me to tears as a kid, not sure why. So even just doing such a service to that lovely track is enough for me. Really outdid yourself in so many ways, and made me appreciate Flipside that much more. Thank you.

[@samwich6652]

Fuck yes, I love this song! Finally some recognition for a GOAT soundtrack

[@RichPhillibob]

This is one of those games that reminds me of how fun a Mario game can be. The idea was completely new, as opposed to doing another paper Mario RPG. I also remember the satire in this game is fantastic. The game knows when to be funny and serious. Great game. I might be biased because it’s the first game I ever played, but replaying it again recently, I can’t help but be happy.

[@GiddyPictures]

I love Super Paper Mario, please make a full video explaining how the sound works in this game

So thankful that as an educator, you tell us all the instruments and patches you use. So helpful for understanding the mix and potentially making our own art.

[@AlexOnGoogle]

How tf are you an entire orchestra in a single person. I took one look at the description because it’s fascinating to see what instruments actually went into the project and MY GOD. That’s a lotta instruments. I wish you would upload each channel so I can isolate the love and care you put into each arrangement. Love your content, always have. Your arrangements always remain faithful while adding your own spin on it- your own style in it. It’s beautiful.

[@wdecently7150]

This is like actually my favorite game ever. It's the first Paper Mario game I ever played, and the first game I played that had a lot of story and lore. For the longest time me and brothers got stuck on 4-3 cause we couldn't find the store where they sell the chocolate bars for Squirp. I've played this game so many times, and yet I still never 100% completed it. I wanna do it but currently don't have my copy of the game atm

[@psychic_digit]

This game was awesome, and you did a good job with this arrangement!

[@saladplainzone]

This song in general means a lot to me, I remember as a young kid I could never get past chapter 3 for whatever reason, so I would spend most of my time with this game just sitting in the hub world and just acting out scenarios as Mario/Peach/Bowser, which meant hearing this song a lot, haha. I was always hoping someone would make a cover of it someday that captured how the original felt and. Yeah this absolutely does, good job

[@LB_]

So many memories... thank you for this

[@DoctorSockrates]

I was listening to this off to the side but as soon as I heard the sound effect cue I had to look at the screen and my delightful surprise to find the graphic flip-flopped to Flopside was immeasurable. Fantastic work again, Scruffy!

I dont know why but the soundtrack of Flipside and Flopside honestly kinda freaked me out. Probably because of the whole erieness of Flipside, the character designs, and the ever-increasing-void-usually-always-in-planesight.

bro did you just list all the instruments that you used I cant thank you enough for that, genuinely thank you

[@manicusmechanic]

I've never been one to comment on KZbin videos, but this arrangement really did compel me to do such. When flopside began to play, I began to cry for the first time in years. Even if it wasn't a heavy amount of tears- I thought to myself I'd never be able to cry again for the longest time. But, you proved me wrong Scruffy. Everything here with this arrangement is almost overwhelmingly beautiful, extravagant even to my ears. It's been years since I've even thought about this game, even longer since my last time playing it. I cannot truly express my gratitude with words, as the emotions I felt were entirely genuine, unpredictable, and simply indescribable. Memory was beautiful, as well. Thank you Scruffy, really. I hope you're doing well.
