Moonlight Sonata in the SM64 Soundfont

Turned out good. (and loud)

[@LeonardoRed15]

Composed by Ludwig von Koopa

[@mintykiwi]

"Moonlight Sonata" was composed by Ludwig von Koopa in 1801, following the historic siege on Dark Land resulting in the destruction of its castle and all warships in its arsenal. While fleeing to Dinosaur Land, he briefly took up a student with whom he fell in love and after the student's passing in Butter Bridge 1, he dedicated the song to her.

[@Allen1350]

​@@coltonk.3086 Yeah, yeah! Then the piano starts chasing after you like it currently does while still playing the song. "At least it-a played me a tune-a before it ate-a me. Mamma mia!"

[@aluzyre4690]

Imagine being a kid and this is what played instead You land in BBH, a faint song hits your ears but you can't make it out. You explore around the outside squashing a scuttlebug or two, the song still there, still faint. You finally head inside and it gets a little more clear. You run about trying to find the source, slowly getting closer each door you try. Eventually you find the room, in it sits a piano and a chair before it. You move closer and notice no one's actually playing it, but it sounds very clear a skilled hand is playing it. Once you get even closer, the piano springs to life! Making the loud bang of incorrect notes or even all keys played at the same time.

The twenty-third of June, 1996. By my deeds am I known, and I'm known as Mario, Super Mario, Mario Mario. By my deeds am I known, and they are truly bloody. I took them all to my heart: Peach, Daisy, Pauline. And I loved them, truly loved them all. But the immortal power I sought within the sordid confines of their bodies, the still beating organ of the soul was not to be found. The ritual of the mushroom was to no avail. I am bereft and must, therefore, perform that bloody ritual upon myself...

[@martinluther123]

By watching the length it was pretty obvious it was all 3 movements. In my opinion movement 2 has always been kinda awkward but a necessary interlude between the 2 main shows.

[@MaybeHarvey]

The haunted house, moonlight sonata echos through the halls and winds of the level, no enemies around, only the piano in the empty room playing this song with rain hammering on the window. With no star to leave and low on power, Mario slowly makes his way through the house and up to the balcony. When he arrives, he sits and thinks deeply with his legs dangling over the edge and begins to contemplate his actions. Staring out into the dark void, he spots a faint figure of a man similar to himself within the thick clouds, could it be a figment of his imagination? “No” Mario says under his breath as he realises what he sees. His brother Luigi hanging in the clouds by his neck like an icicle on a dead man’s beard, cold and lifeless. Mario stands and realises, his brother had been trapped in this alternate world all along, within the depths of the code. Mario looks further to see the gate of another house with the rope tied to one of its spikes and stumbles to the ground at the revelation he has made. He sees a parallel universe, only believed to be a myth for the deranged and poor. Mario now knows he must come to the same fate as his brother to leave this living hell. He gets up at the end of the balcony and turns his back on the great drop below. He shuts his eyes and stands with the heels of his shoes hanging off. He takes one last sigh and says through his tears “L is real. mama mia” and leaps off backwards. With that, his power depletes and his last life is ran, the piano plays its last note which rings through the air like a siren. Only wind and rain is left. 💐🏵️🌹💡Thank you! Thank you! 🔦🌷🌼💐

This narration is really well done. Though Mario’s last words could have been something like « Bye-bye » or « Thank you so much-a for to playing my game » to give it more impact.
