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 seems to wait a lot if he wants 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

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?

[@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?

[@PandoraPremium]

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

[@Rahnonymous]

Black Hole Sun in Dire Dire Docks soundfont is pretty good

[@GamePlayer0105]

Imagine if someone made a custom stage in SM64 that looks like the obstacle course that Peach made Mario run through in the movie, and had this song playing.

[@Elite_Teach]

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

[@Condolences_Covers]

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

[@Nathan_Poco17]

This is a masterpiece

[@rosykindbunny1313]

This is a bop, not gonna lie

[@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-

[@czpiaor]

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

[@Rahnonymous]

​@@Mepimations That's fine. Everyone can be objectively wrong sometimes 😏

Are you planning to release Mr. Blue Sky?

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

Awesome!

Wow this works so well!!!!

Why only 1k views? This shit 🔥!!!

[@gnomegguy69]

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

[@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.

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

A lot of notes sound incorrectly pitched.

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

[@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 🔥

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

[@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.

This is mightily unsettling but in the best possible way

[@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.
