Ca met de bonne humeur, pour sûr.

Quel rythme dans la production ! Félicitations ! L'arrangement est magnifique et super-fidèle, l'édition magnifique, comme d'habitude. 😃

[@ikenopiano]

One of my most favorite Mario Kart soundtracks, you nailed it :) Really enjoyed it!

[@UnNimois]

Prenons un moment de détente au goût de vacances en réécoutant cette vidéo, à défaut de pouvoir encore aller à la plage.

Mon pianiste préféré. Danke für die Cover!

best Piano Version!!!!

[@ゆるっぴき悠]

It make me comfortable. Thank you! I didn't know his name is Koopa in your country. Japanese call him NOKONOKO. In japan , Bowser is called Koopa. It's interesting!

[@GabbPiano]

Yes, it's a bit confusing. In the West, all the kinds of turtles in the series are called Koopa: the simple Koopa Troopa who walks on the ground and Paratroopa, with wings. Bowser is the King of the Koopa.

You are so good at the piano

This man is a treasure

[@svenrank4733]

This is so awesome! I don´t know how many hours I have played Mario Kart on SNES, your channel brings back so much memories, fantastic!

[@GabbPiano]

That's very kind, thank you !

Awesome!

[@art88tum]

Ma version fait bien pâle figure à côté :) énorme mec!!

[@GabbPiano]

Toujours aussi modeste. ^^ J'aime bien ton improvisation dans ta version jazz de 2015 (vers les 5 minutes).

[@jaredbond7908]

WOW!!!! Fantastic, man. 😄😄😄

[@vladpiranha]

This is the one I've been waiting for. I knew it would be great and it certainly was!

[@link1day]

This is a very tricky exercise, like a mini etude (I think of your arrangements like that since they at first make my brain hurt).

[@GabbPiano]

You are right. The rhythmic independence of the hands and fingers is put to the test.

[@jaredbond7908]

So damn beautiful.... I come back to listen to this. You're amazing. 😊

[@GabbPiano]

Thank you for this precious listening.

[@pifpoufmirouf]

J'ai toujours trouvé les Koopa Beach reposants, je sais pas pourquoi, parce qu'ils sont pas forcément plus faciles que les autres ! En tout cas, super arrangement, comme d'habitude, un grand merci ^^

[@GabbPiano]

Oh si, ils sont beaucoup plus faciles que les autres je trouve, de véritables promenades de santé, encore plus que les Ghost Valley.

[@pifpoufmirouf]

@@GabbPiano ouais en y repensant ils posent pas vraiment de problème xD

[@guillaumel7798]

Magnifique, on aimerait que ça dure tellement plus longtemps... :)

[@hannes8835]

J'aime Koopa. ^^ Merci pour la musique. :-)

[@GabbPiano]

koopa and I thank you!

waow... les souvenirs :'(

[@therobotscott]

My favorite tune from this game! I love it! Though I don't play piano very well I am still going to learn this one.

[@GabbPiano]

👍

[@Lee-lb7bw]

cool

[@MusiqueauSoleil]

Ce joli morceau a un parfum de boléro et de musique cubaine. Soyo Oka a-t-elle pratiqué ce genre ?

[@GabbPiano]

Pas particulièrement, que je sache. Mais on reconnait aussi un bon compositeur ou une bonne compositrice à sa capacité de proposer des musiques dans des styles variés.

[@kevninetytwo2348]

Hi Gabb, do you have the Midi File for the Results song @1:30 ? I would Appreciate it if you can link it. I do not read music sheets I learn more by playing along Midi.

[@GabbPiano]

drive.google.com/file/d/1bJP-WXZQPEbOy06TWvpuUXhgNXHtrvFR/view?usp=sharing I didn't work on a piano arrangement for this music, but only transferred the different voices from the SNES version, the raw version. It's not playable as it stands, or else at 2 piano. Personally I made 2 recordings that I superimposed one on the other. Koopa's victory music is one of the simplest, but you'll still have to delete notes to play it.

Excellent, hopefully you can make the metal warriors soundtrack * - * thank you

[@GabbPiano]

I am not familiar with this game, but I stay tuned for any suggestions.

[@Guschobo]

Just a few a hours ago I was wondering when you would upload this, it's like you read my mind :D This was always my favourite song from the game (and I always played Koopa as a kid although his 'Race Clear' song is pretty boring). Would've hoped for a few more loops of Koopa Beach instead ;) Amazing how you managed to fit in all the voices again, how many are there even in this song? I can't really tell if included the drum 'voice', in some parts it sounds a bit like it but it seems like that would require a whole 3rd hand! Or is the drum purely percussion and can only be implemented by putting it's rhythm into either the left or right hand (which seems kinda impossible since there is a running base line + the right hand is playing 2 voices simultaneously)? Especially at the end of measure 17 in your arrangement, there is a 'tremlolo' like drum sound in the original. Would it be possible to mimick that somehow on the piano either with keys or by tapping your hand/fingers on the piano?

[@Guschobo]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXOvmIqipJipfK8&ab_channel=art88tum I was thinking about something like that for the percussion, but he is even using 2 hands to play the 'drums'

[@GabbPiano]

It's often a puzzle when it comes to reproducing the percussions on the piano. In this case, the other voices being already very rhythmic, I chose to leave aside the drums part, purely and simply. Having said that, you are right about bar 17, it's a passage that would maybe have deserved to take into account the percussions: it would have been perfectly possible with a tremolo in the left hand on the dominant for example. I was also thinking that I should have actually added a loop. It would have been the opportunity to offer this rhythmic alternative ... I will think of consulting you for my next arrangements. ;)

[@Guschobo]

@@GabbPiano I think there is not much I can add to your arrangements :D I think we talked about that in another comment section of one of your videos, extra loops to put more focus on the other voices because if you can't play 4-5 voices with 2 hands then I doubt anybody can. Saying that you chose to leave the drums aside, would it have even been possible to play them ontop of the other voices?

[@GabbPiano]

Even if it had been possible, I'm afraid it would have unnecessarily weighed down the musical freshness of this piece. But on certain passages only, it could have brought added value.

[@Guschobo]

@@GabbPiano different question, just curious: do you do the gameplay yourself on a SNES emulator? :D

[@MusiqueauSoleil]

D'où viennent les belles images vidéo (approximativement entre 0:58 et 1:10) de mer et de vagues?

[@GabbPiano]

Ah oui, j'ai oublié de préciser le lien dans la description. C'est corrigé. 😎
