Holding out for a Hero but it's Super Mario 64

[@Shadow-hw3kn]

Verse 1: Where have all the mushrooms gone And where are all the Stars? Where’s the streetwise Luigi To fight off all the scars? Isn’t there a bright red sight upon a trusty steed Who always lies in wait for his chance to succeed For his chance to succeed Chorus: I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He’s gotta be strong, he’s gotta be fast And he’s gotta be fresh for the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life Larger than life Verse 2: Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There’s a star reaching back for me Racing on the thunder And rising with the heat It’s gonna take a Super Mario to sweep me off my feet Yeah!!! Chorus: I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He’s gotta be strong, he’s gotta be fast And he’s gotta be fresh for the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life Verse 3: Out around the mountains at an island in the sea There’s a place that Yoshi goes where he always jumps with glee I can feel his longings like a fire in my blood Like a fire in my blood x4 Outro: I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He’s gotta be strong, he’s gotta be fast And he’s gotta be fresh for the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life I need a hero Holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He’s gotta be strong, he’s gotta be fast And he’s gotta be fresh for the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life

HOLY SHIT! THIS IS AMAZING!

ChatGPT FTW

[@Shadow-hw3kn]

Actually it was I that wrote it based on ChatGPT’s suggestion. The part before the chorus should say ‘Who always lies in wait if he wants a chance to succeed’ but KZbin won’t let me edit it.

[@joellerma6572]

Remember that scene in the Mario Movie when Yoshi takes a Mega Mushroom and Mario and Friends use him to get inside the Bowser Castle meanwhile Kamek was singing "I Need a Hero" whit Bowser and Peach Dancing?? Bro, that was a epic scene

[@VnguardX]

Oh god yeah! That was so epic.

[@ashen_roses]

Okay I haven't seen the movie and it's Illumination so I'm not expecting it to be incredible but I saw this and became the One Fear dude

[@lRub3l]

Wasn't there also a toad with a cat-suit and a sword?

[@PandoraPremium]

Recently discovered the rabbit hole of sm64 soundfont renditions. This among others slaps lol

[@schaefer76]

The level when Shrek came in and raced against time to stop Kamek with this blasting in the background was one of the best moments in gaming history

[@airtiger4577]

DK really outdid himself didn't he?

[@Elite_Teach]

I’m so glad they brought back this classic to the movie

[@rosykindbunny1313]

This is a bop, not gonna lie

[@Condolences_Covers]

Perfect choice of instruments, pitch bend totally slaps. Great job!

[@Nathan_Poco17]

This is a masterpiece

I can't believe all the time i used to be a Mario fan so later i will hear this awsome track i need a hero witch i watch a cartoon that they use that track for Regular Show

[@koro-_-sensei98]

Should be put in Mario movie 2

[@bluebomb2047]

Are you planning to release Mr. Blue Sky?

[@GalaxyBr0z]

Possibly

[@baconberries8097]

Honestly studio's just need to accept that they'll never pull off this song as well as shrek 2 did. It was just distracting when they used it in the Mario movie.

[@Mepimations]

I actually personally think that the Mario Movie did it better than Shrek 2 -v-

[@perkbug888]

I agree, Shrek 2 did it the best

[@TeatimesB]

In the context of the Mario movie it wasn't "🎵I need a hero", but more nostalgia bait

[@BIGGS1]

@@Mepimationswrong opinion

[@saikoddlc]

@@TeatimesB it was literally the meaning of the song. Peach was training Mario to help her in her journey, because in the end Peach alone couldn't withstand a whole army. She's a single woman, very skilled in the movie, but she's not the Doomslayer to end an entire army by herself. So she was helping to create the Mario we see at the end of the movie in some sense, by making him get used to her world's obstacles. So she in some sense needed a hero lol.

Oh man, what a great song. :) Why is the building shaking?

[@5ecret3nding87]

I love this lol

[@Nigreboró-t7l]

Awesome!

[@gnbman]

When the Mario movie and Shrek are owned by the same company: (DreamWorks was bought by Illumination.)

[@Amsosorryscotty]

Wouldn’t this be a better way to use this song in the Mario bros movie? Just had Mario 64 sound font into the song and it will be perfect.

[@rickdeckard4735]

Absolutely love the tip of the cap the movie producers gave to Chris Chan by including this in the movie.

[@Evdafawth]

I'm sorry, what's this about Chris Chan? I don't know this part of their lore.

[@rickdeckard4735]

@@Evdafawth If you haven't seen the beautiful rendition he performed of this song for his former sweetheart Ivy I highly recommend checking it out.

[@zoinksscoob7020]

Wow this works so well!!!!

[@JKDoodleJack]

Beautiful 😊

[@Steelberd]

Why only 1k views? This shit 🔥!!!

[@DarkCloudLightFF7DCL]

I felt if they were going to use songs like this they would sound front them like this ~ would’ve work more for the movie though oh well

[@epicredhot5675]

A lot of notes sound incorrectly pitched.

[@sahilhossain8204]

Hmm yes super mario 64 the anime

[@TrueLadyEvilChan]

Why is the image cropped like that? Good rendition though

[@GalaxyBr0z]

Its supposed to be based on the album cover which debuted this song

[@TrueLadyEvilChan]

​@@GalaxyBr0zYou know that sounds more obvious now that you say that. Thanks for the answer

[@Elipsis21Gaming]

nice

[@IHaveAnCreativeName]

Beutaful

[@davidfinch9269]

Please, if you could, it would be awesome for you to do lost in the woods from Frozen 2 with Mario 64 music. My brother would be so happy to hear that 😂 it would be absolutely fire 🔥

[@mariogamerpro5657]

The super mario bros 64 movie

[@KyloRen374]

This song of 64 Mario its Good Its Almost Like 8Bit Version Is Fanstasic my friend

[@jcompton3947]

This is mightily unsettling but in the best possible way

[@Me64ash]

is this free use

[@cactomexicano_2012]

everything is better in sm64 sf

[@Doktario_Mystario]

every song cover is personalised

[@fieryalbino]

Eek. You mapped the toms to the wrong instrument, and it sounds out of tune! (Does the SM64 soundfont have toms? I never checked...)

[@Ian_Comics]

Sounds kind of flat. Maybe different instruments would have worked better. The vocal parts are alright.
