It's crazy how you're able to make it seem like all these songs were always meant to be played this way.

[@4u1004me]

They kind of were when you think how obvious jazz influences are in Mario or how obvious Rock influences can be found in Megaman tracks

@@andrewxu3602 I think Tee Lopes' eats this version ip lol.

[@thatoneguyyouknow9086]

Personally, I think all versions of this theme are pure ear candy, a testament to Masato Nakamura's genius composition. 😎 🎹 Incidentally, this version is the best segue between Tee Lopes' version and the Plasma3Music remix, since it starts in Dmin and ends in Ebmin 🎶

Amen

[@tavitay9737]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who heard it😂

[@jorymil]

Definitely not - that intro pretty much says "New Jack Swing" and gets folks into that frame of mind. That mix of straight and swing is really unique to New Jack Swing.

*IMAGINE THIS WITH BRUNO MARS' "FINESSE" OVER THE TOP!?!?* *HOW HAVE I ONLY JUST DISCOVERED YOU TODAY?!?!?!!!!!!!??* Prepare for loads of comments from me cos I've been binge watching!! You are all EPIC. That Bell Biv Devoe drum solo at the beginning got me in the grrrooooovvvee! This was already a big tune from the original, and I was so curious to see what you were gonna do with it and my god you just blew me awaaayyy!!! This arrangement is *unREAL.*

[@Flashchocobo]

That transition from Big band to Piano solo is what I live for.

[@brycevo]

Always good to hear the 8 bit Big Band play again!

[@zkatt3238]

I just don't understand why this channel doesn't have more subscribers.

[@XplosiveAction]

I cant stop listening to this and im not even joking. Ive listened already a few time and I love the combination of that synth sound with the bass. the combination alone already got me hooked. My dad is a professional trumpet player and I've grown to jazz and swing music in my life. The trumpets at 2:17 and on for that segment in particular made me perk up and play it back to see what the heck I just heard. It's insane. This is something I love, combining new sounds that some may not like because its "new" (the synth) but with something like swing. Personally, I find it FANTASTIC.

[@AyeshaShaSha]

2:17 is the BEST PART!!! 💯💯💯

[@Cloverhoney246]

Omg 😳 thank you ❤❤❤

[@chiveswilliams5790]

Man, this is such a good song to groove and vibe to... hats off to 8-bit, you guys sure know how to keep it jazzy around here on youtube

The intro is a reference to a 90's hip hop track and it kills me that I can't think of it. Starting at 0:04, that beat with the horn stings at the end of each bar makes me wanna start singing "That girl is [dah du da]..." when the actual melody kicks in. If anyone can name the tune, I'll give you all the brownie points I have. Meanwhile, the reference has not gone unnoticed, and I love it.
