This would work with the "choose your seeds" music on the DS

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

But the "choose your seeds" music doesn't have a variant that could be used for the "A-minor" segment like this theme does. REDSC0UT pointed out I could have used the roof theme. At first I thought it would only be possible with this, but then I decided I might do it with roof because it does have a third variant, being the PvZ2 Modern Day "Mid-Wave B" theme. I could also _maybe_ do "Zombies on your Lawn" as the PvZ2 Modern Day final wave theme is a remix of that...

[@RamiCrafy]

@@pvzmariosonica8fan Idk if it's just me, but if you listen closely, there's a part in "choose your seeds" on the DS version that sounds a little odd.

People are upset at this but... it’s true! Have you guys even heard graze the roof? There are so many objectively wrong notes! The fact that the DS had limited sound shouldn’t mean it couldn’t have hit the notes, it just means it’s in lower bits. So what the heck happened?

[@swaggaming4953]

graze the roof on ds still sounds good

[@Cool_Kid95]

@@swaggaming4953 sounds better

[@xX_Pokeman_Xx]

I've listened back to Graze the Roof on my 3DS and the closest I got was the "piano" being like... an octave off from what they should be? But no notes I could tell were actually off. What likely happened is that PvZ on the DS, being legitimately one of the most impressive feats from a technical standpoint, AND was one of the first versions of the game actually worked on, ended up with a fair share of issues stemming from being completed in a dev cycle totally separate to the PC version. Hell, if you've looked at the developer art found in the leaked playtester builds, you notice something very distinctive about it, and that is that it shares the DS art style. This implies, at least to me, that they switched to the PC, and then later completed their incomplete DS version as a "port", despite them being technically two different games.

[@wumpus976]

@@xX_Pokeman_Xx I’m fairly certain the beta art was mostly just placeholder art and wasn’t intended to resemble what we got.

[@xX_Pokeman_Xx]

@@wumpus976 Yeah, that's correct. However, it's still notable that it's a near perfect match in art style to PvZ DS, despite PvZ DS lacking such sprites. Furthermore, Plants VS Zombies started development on the DS as Insaniquarium 2.

Unpopular opinion: DS version sounds completely good and perfectly matches with the 8 bit theme and style they were going for when making that version of the game for it.

[@toaster_rtx1829]

There is no “8 bit theme and style” they just compressed everything to fit the DS. I grew up with the DS port and absolutely adore it, but to be honest they did the music a bit dirty, there are plenty of great sounding ds games, whilst this sounds like a GBA

[@JakeTheBikerDude]

@@toaster_rtx1829 you are correct about that, but regardless the game can still be considered 8 bit or even pixelated because of how they made it that way for the DS version of the game.

[@toaster_rtx1829]

@@JakeTheBikerDude I think a better term is a “demake” Just because it’s pixelated doesn’t make it 8-bit

[@JakeTheBikerDude]

@@toaster_rtx1829 That works too I suppose, and guess what in the early stages of the game, the game was actually pixelated and 8 bit looking.I feel like the DS version was made to pay homage to the one of the early builds of the game where it was looking all pixelated and such, but that's just me.

[@solarflare9078]

You do realize that the only "8-bit" comparison the DS has is the screen resolution. The DS res is 256x192, which is the exact same resolution as the SEGA Master System. And though the DS has access to a PSG chip, it's not the same as the SMS (it's the Game Boy) and the soundtrack doesn't use it anyways.

[@bluekunt]

[@bingobo2551]

Gonna be honest some of the songs are better in the ds version such as the fog theme and puzzle theme

[@haziqsembilanlima]

afaik DS uses MIDI format for (most) BGM, the file size is small and soundbank are already available in the console. I remember that I ripped Ace Attorney 1/2/3 MIDIs almost a decade ago and played it on a MIDI player with any free soundbank that I could download

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

DS does use MIDI (makes me wonder how the songs would sound if the DS shared the same sound chip as the Sonic & Knuckles Collection)

[@ragerasse7616]

Honestly I like the fast paced part on the other versions but the beginning is easily way better on DS. It actually sounds very quiet and fits well for the night time.

[@matthewgaming2408]

I actually have an official Plants Vs. Zombies called "Battle ExtravaGonzo" and it's the full book which even includes some behind the scenes versions of both the cover as well pencil sketch versions of the start of the book without dialogue, meaning we can see the entirety of things that aren't normally seen due to dialogue and text boxes being in the way!

[@thecoolguy1233]

DS version had a versus mode where one person controlled plants and one person controlled zombies, straight fire, I think console versions had it aswell. DS version also had exclusive minigames, the main downside is that the resolution and framerate are pretty bad, but kinda nostalgic ngl

[@hobomike6935]

I was fundamentally disappointed that the mobile app (even the paid one) did not have a multiplayer co-op/vs option. ...C'mon. even the *DS* port implemented it, and while a bit laggy, it worked pretty well. You didn't even try, apple.

[@jaychamberlain5551]

The huge wave of zombies theme for night is amazing

[@tbtb66]

For people who want to know: The DS does in fact support streamed audio, and likewise it's possible to get a lot more out of sequences on the hardware Chances are they just had a low budget

[@keisui89]

glad to see someone else who knows how the ds handles audio , though its rare to see any games that use specifically only streamed audio for music , typically just ones that have a few tracks , where bigger games like kingdom hearts or mariokart used sequenced audio due to there being many songs . youre not wrong that it can handle streamed audio , just that many games use sequenced over streamed to save space , and it likely was a budget issue as well

[@lemonpringlesdoodles]

Right, but there is one track in particular that, in my opinion, the DS improves: Ultimate Battle. In the DS, there is a blaring, trumpet-like synth for the melody, while in the other versions, the melody is a mellow, pulled-back synth. I like the DS sound because I feel like it captures the zany energy of PvZ better. Give it a listen!

Im leaving my guess: when spongebob starts playing his version of the song for the second time, he will be playing the horde theme for moongrains, since, afterall, it technically is the second part of the song. Also, the moongrains horde theme is highly well known for it beeing very different to its orriginal.
