Paper Mario N64 vs. TTYD - Battle Fanfare! (Mashup) [Player2 Remix]

Paper Mario Battle Fanfare Mashup Remix -
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is getting a remaster...so now it's time to remaster my battle fanfare remix!! 💫
I can't believe how long ago I made this mashup/remix...my original upload date was in October 2015! It's such an incredible feeling seeing how much my music career has grown, plus hearing the improvement in mixing & mastering is something I'm SUPER proud of! I hope you all enjoy this EPIC mashup banger of two of the best RPG battle fanfare themes with brand-new mastering!
ALSO - some of the game footage is from my brother, ‪@Kappy0‬he's a professional Paper Mario 64/TTYD Challenge Runner & has some insanely awesome content revolving the Paper Mario series!

I'm unbelievably stoked to replay the Paper Mario: TTYD remake - 20 years later after its initial release in 2004. I know there was lots of hate towards Nintendo's latest direct since a majority of the new releases are all remakes...but I gotta say, the remakes that are in development are games that have tons of replay value, and the fact that Nintendo saw an opportunity to re-create a GameCube title that's in my top-3 GC games of all time is a huge W! (and I've rarely, if ever, seen any negative reviews about Paper Mario: TTYD)

*GASP* Throwback! Your original upload of this is how I discovered you! The first two Paper Marios will go down in history as my favorite games of all time, and I love how you perfectly mashed the two battle themes. Also what a great way to celebrate the announcement of TTYD remastered. Fire 🔥

[@ProducerPlayer2]

That's incredible, thank you so much for your continuous support over the past 8 years!!! Crazy how time flies!! 🙌

[@AwesomeNick94]

This made me realize how much more nostalgic I am for the paper Mario 64 combat music than the ttyd one

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha at least we can already play the N64 Paper Mario on the NSO app; though, a remastered game with updated music would be interesting to hear!

[@NoteBlock]

Really excited for the resurgence of Paper Mario remixes! Straight banger 🎉

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Same; I couldn't be more thrilled that the Paper Mario series is back in the spotlight!! 🔥

[@ebm4205]

@NoteBlock do a rogueport remix pls

[@Vector_U]

This is actually one of my faves of yours man. I might be biased cuz I love Paper Mario but DAMN this is fat.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha same man I’ve beaten Paper Mario both N64 & TTYD at least a combined total of 15 times or so, _such_ a great game!! After the amount of years of putting into music production, i’m super happy with this new master, and now won’t be afraid to play this live because it actually sounds on par with my other music releasing now haha

[@tommyh8462]

Omg I was just listening to your old remix a few days ago after not hearing it for years! Then I just got this recommended out of nowhere! Can't wait for the TTYD remake and I hope we'll get a remake of 64 eventually too

[@ProducerPlayer2]

The algorithm KNOWS! haha, that's awesome though, I _also_ am absolutely stoked for the TTYD remake! 🙌

[@LuigiEdits8]

Another goated Remix. Can't wait for TTYD on switch.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

My life will be consumed once the TTYD remaster releases 🤣

[@Equalyze]

Holy moly, Player2, this is off-the-rails!! It's so exciting to see a remaster of the most innovative and high-energy Paper Mario remix. This is spectacular, both in its own right, and for the improvements you've made from your original iteration! It's heartwarming to see you take such pride in your growth, as both an online presence and music producer - I'm very proud of you, as well! The way you weave the themes together so seamlessly is really something special. I'm pretty certain the two battle themes are very close or identical in tempo, but I know that they're in different keys, so it's hugely impressive that you've bridged the two songs so well in spite of that. And the transitions are so tight! I love how you segue into the N64 battle theme with a clip of the OST version; it's one thing to utilize sound effects (more on those later), but to take part of the original track and have it fit so snugly into the mix is next-level! Seriously, I can't get enough of that transition at 1:05 - and then you did it again at 2:53 with some sick new variations. And then, wooh! it's awesome that you integrated the OG glissando for your transition into the TTYD theme at 1:48, as well as the intro... it's perfect! Speaking of which, I love how the remix comes full-circle, too, both leading off and ending with the Thousand-Year battle theme - the song feels so complete, the way it's structured. Your instrument choices here are superb, and I like how they're true to your sound style, yet reminiscent of the original games. In particular, I love that whistle instrument at 1:32, and how it plays that iconic riff - it sounds so close to the official instrumentation, but just slightly different, which means you've really found a great match for it! I'm a big sucker for instruments that fall into that familiar-yet-fresh territory, and I hear that throughout the arrangement, like at 1:18 (with that upward note slide) and the combination of lead instruments at 0:13 when that higher octave joins in. But wow, the assortment of bright and punchy EDM sounds in tandem with all that ear candy (like that retro flourish at 0:59) is just a delight to listen to. Truly, a brilliant fusion of fidelity and freshness! As always, the percussive elements are a strong point among strong points. The constant build-ups and rhythmic switch ups keep things dynamic from start-to-finish. Throughout it all, the steady kick keeps things moving and really anchors the track. And on the topic of build-ups, you never fail to bring smiles with your signature delayed drop, like at 2:55, where the drums hold back for a phrase. The layering in the drums is so good, and the hits are dense and textured, without ever being peaky or overbearing - testament to your incredible mixing skill. Also, those SFX! There are too many cool instances to name specifically, but some of my favorites include that power-up sound effect at 0:18, followed by the N64 jump on the upbeat; that sequence of healing & Star Spirit sounds at 1:18; that absolutely _brilliant_ cursor sound used rhythmically at 2:08; and of course Peach's laugh at 3:08 - that was such a fun detail! 😁 Also, the coordination between your visuals and key moments in the music is some of your best yet! Besides having the aforementioned Peach giggle, you also have that quick cameo in the corner as chaos unfolds on the screen. The way the visuals reflect the game whose battle theme is Now Playing is a great aspect, and I like how you also extended the display to include the stage background for each game, too! It's a neat way of preserving the OG aspect ratio while adding to the nostalgic goodness. And holy heck, there are some really dope moments where the visuals correspond perfectly to the music, like where the Fuzzy swarm gets crushed at 0:46 (with the accompanying sound effect, no less), or how that lovely 100-Star Point bonus gets counted up during the buildup at 0:57... like, seriously, it boggles my mind how you always keep coming up with these insanely creative details in both the music and visuals. Your ingenuity knows no bounds! I've likely mentioned this before, but Paper Mario 64 is my all-time favorite video game, so I always have high hopes for remixes from that game's OST, and this really just blew my already-sky-high expectations out of Star Haven! I'm super psyched for the TTYD remake, as well, and it's also exciting to be introduced to your brother - his content sounds right up my alley! Thank you for this gem of a remix, and keep up the fantastic work, my friend! 🌟

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you so much, Equalyze, your word means the world to me, so to hear you're proud of how much I've improved is an honor to hear!! I'm shocked that they blended as well as they do; I think what makes them both sound good together is that they're both in a major key - even though both songs may not be in the exact same signature, they each share a number of notes that somehow sounds as if it's part of one big giant song, haha! I was unsure if I should have ended the song with the bassline of the N64 PM, but It felt natural going back to the TTYD melody with a nice pluck sound. Could have gone either way, though! One of the main differences between my previous remix & this one was my old remix didn't have nearly as many good instrumental choices - this new one now perfectly matches the originality of both themes, while still having that extra spice of modern-ness! For a remix that was produced nearly 8 years ago, this one now sounds align with my current catalogue, as well, since I was only producing with headphones back then...and now this song finally has a clean, tight bassline to match the mid- & high-frequency instruments! And speaking of how bad the original sounded, I almost had zero drum fills & just kept the basic four-on-the-floor pattern the entirety of the remix, so eventually it just got stale. I've enhanced both sections with extra drum fills & transitional FX to keep the listener engaged - honestly after hearing this new version as many times as I have now, I almost can't even think about listening to the original, haha! But, that's why I did try to keep some of the elements from the previous remix for those that are nostalgic of the original remix! Oh yes and to top off the visualization, the older video had the stretched out widescreen look which looked SO BAD compared to keeping the aspect ratio to 4:3 & adding a background because that's what the pixels were designed for! I'm glad you saw that detail of preserving the original aspect ratio because it truly does make a difference! I don't know if I knew Paper Mario 64 was your favorite game!! That's good to know, as I know for sure I'll be remixing more Paper Mario both N64 & TTYD content as we get near the release of the new TTYD. Thank you for always tuning in & providing an in-depth listen of my remixes from your perspective, I'm always aiming to please! Thanks again!! 💫

[@irkandcrew]

Let's freaking go dude, excellent choice. Even better remix. I love this version. More Paper Mario please?. Your first version was great too btw. I can appreciate a version that doesn't have added sound effects. Even tho the other one is on my top 10 for your remix playlist. Lol.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thanks man! Heck yes more Paper Mario is on the way; especially now that it's back in business!! That was actually the biggest complaint of the previous video; it was too annoying to listen to because of all the background SFX. Now I was able to add some with intention of it being part of the song, rather than the background footage, haha.

[@irkandcrew]

@@ProducerPlayer2 lol I still play it. I kinda dig what you did with it. But I understand the other opinions. I'm so stoked for Mario RPG remake and the TYD remake!! We ever gonna play smash? Lol

[@owenpierce2356]

Question / idea for you! I LOVE all the remasters - BUT I also like listening to some of your original videos you’ve made too! (And as a music guy, I also appreciate comparing to see the difference). I remember this original video in particular being a really special one to me. Would you consider uploading the original versions of some songs (here or some other channel or something) so we can still listen to the original versions as well??

[@ProducerPlayer2]

That is a fantastic idea - it’s my own personal perfectionist inside me that doesn’t want to older remixes on the internet so that if someone stumbles upon my channel & the remaster is the first impression versus the old version, i’d feel like that listener would convert more than someone hearing a song from 7+ years ago 😅 However, with that said, i do appreciate the idea of wanting to hear the original versions for comparison reasons - let me look into this for next year ‘cause I’m actually planning on remastering a bunch more music next year, so I super appreciate your feedback!

[@Duhemsounds]

Another very catchy work, well done

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you sir!! Always improving! 🙌

[@Riyoe]

Always remembered the original Paper Mario theme better, but also because I'm biased due to nostalgia lol, love both games tho

[@michaelcupps9064]

Why I feel like I'm in a nintendo club or something? that switch was so smooth to N64 and made me go "oooooooooo" like as if I have a drink in my hand on the dance floor

Also, I keep coming back to this because I love the marimba solo you added at the end of this. It's lowkey inspired me to make a paper mario ttyd warm up piece for pit percussion practice lol@@ProducerPlayer2

[@MiniVoltar]

I love TTYD Battle Music but this did make me realize how much I also love the 64 Battle theme too.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Right?! I could have made separate remixes for each battle theme, but it felt right to put them both in the same song because they're both bangers!!

[@grizz6693]

Tbh I really liked the way the other video sounds, but this version sounds so *clean* man I love it

[@ProducerPlayer2]

I can respect that! I will say, that type of sound 8 years ago does not represent my current sound, so this feels a lot more cohesive with the rest of my catalogue! When I reopened the project after this many years there were _soooooo many_ mixing mistakes that I was careless of when I was first starting music production - i’m very proud of this new remaster! 💫

[@TheCreepypro]

what a delightful combination and a wonderful remix!

[@Palettblad]

WOAHH this is absolute fire!!! So good and a lovely blend! I'm replaying first paper mario rn annd last year I replayed TTYD, now getting a remake is making me so excited! This is just what kind if music I need rn.

[@rifman6895]

Now why does THIS sound familiar? The original has been saved on my phone since it came out, so this was an excellent nostalgic surprise. Also, I love love LOVE the sound effects thrown in there randomly, but you could have gone crazy with it. If you haven't moved on already, I'd absolutely challenge you to create a notable section of the (either) song using ONLY sfx.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha you know what’s funny - the original’s sound effects were actually the biggest complaint because there was too much! I decided to tame down the SFX this time so they had more purpose instead of the randomization, haha. That’s a great challenge, I’ll definitely try that out - though I can’t guarantee it’ll ever get finished 😆

[@TheologyVGM]

I cannot wait to play this live 😍

So happy that many more people are gonna get to experience this epic game! You did a great job on the remix and video! And yes, I can hear the cleaner mixing and mastering compared to your original version of this remix. Excellent work! 👍😃 Also, I apologize I haven't been commenting on your videos lately, I've just been busy with various things and haven't been able to comment on stuff as often as I would like to. But I always make sure to check out your latest videos, you always make top quality content! ✨️

[@ProducerPlayer2]

I super agree, the Mario & Luigi series is awesome, but nothing can take away the experience of playing Paper Mario N64 for the first time. Such an amazing game! And typically sequels are worse than the original, then Nintendo released TTYD which was the _perfect_ example of what the Paper Mario sequels should've all been like! I understand the need to adapt with new functions, but nothing will beat the simplistic combat of Paper Mario N64 & TTYD! And you never have to apologize, Glitchman! I absolutely understand life can get busy, I super appreciate your support!! 💫

Your songs are what got me into making my own music, so I hope you don’t mind if, when I start making music, you see some similarities! Also, you should make some remixes of the following songs.

i love this mashup, but i'm kind of bummed you didn't try to combine the two themes. don't get me wrong, i love this remix! but it would've been super cool to hear the two themes sync up in a cool way. you could've even used TTYD64 footage for the background, it would've been perfect!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

That’s a great idea! I’m nowhere near the skill level of being able to combine two completely separate songs into one, rather than just going from one into the other; plus - it’s my understanding that both these songs are juuuust in key enough to sound good on their own, but not sure how they’d sound melodically as one cohesive song. (Also, I didn’t know TTYD64 was a thing until literally a few days after posting…ugh! The possibilities!!)

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Yes, unfortunately after hearing how much the mixing was improved in this version, I'd rather have this be the one that people discover first if anyone searches for this specific remix, rather than having the option of clicking the previous version. Plus, the thumbnail, title & metadata are all updated for better SEO optimization. The older video was outdated & doesn't reflect my current quality of music - with that said, I did preserve a majority of the sounds from the original remix in this version so it's still very close to the same remix...just new-and-improved! I hope you understand my decision, and am honored to hear how much you enjoyed the previous remix!! I hope this remaster can still provide you with the same nostalgic feeling as the first! 💫
