I can imagine this beautiful cover being used in a live action/CGI Star Fox film.

[@CleverGirlAAH]

End credits, for sure. Or team at their lowest and Fox starts a speech to inspire them.

Was half expecting that '64' to start floating around. Man I miss my childhood haha. Thanks for this.

[@WSADHelios]

Smit Patel Haha! Might just do that for the next SF piece :p Glad I could provide ;)

[@Fr33zeBurn]

I completed this game like 50 times. Was one of the only games in my childhood I cared about enough to even complete let alone 50 times.

[@Haunted4Dan]

Thiis is amazing, I'm planning on having this play at my wedding next year while I wait for my wife to walk down the aisle. Would that be cool?

This is such an amazing rendition of a beloved classic. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.

[@terriqdrayton1402]

They don't make great amazing games like this anymore, loved and missed this part of my childhood 😔

[@beauwalker9820]

Still my favorite StarFox game, and one of my top favorites of all time. The game is very special to me, and helped me meet many of my best friends.

[@terriqdrayton1402]

​@@beauwalker9820- We were lucky to be apart of the golden era, simply the great definition of what brought us together. Time passes but memories are forever 😑!

I got chills. I almost cried. This song is so powerful!

[@KingShrykull92]

Thought I'd just say. I love that you're re-orchestrating one of my most favourite Nintendo franchises ever. Starfox is seriously under rated in my eyes.

[@WSADHelios]

King Shrykull Awesome! I'd say it's one of my favourite games in general, spent so much time playing it back when I was a babby. Generally, if it's orchestrated to begin with, I don't touch it, mostly because I don't think I'd be able to add anything of value to them.

[@KingShrykull92]

Definitely. That and Starwolf's theme as the Assault version of their music was perfect imo.

[@j_mi5540]

I cried.....

[@thediamondphenom3174]

This is my favorite version of this song I've ever heard. And I just spent half an hour specifically listening to covers of it. :0

This is beautiful ❤️

[@MonteRicard]

Star Fox Event Horizon should be working with you on their soundtrack plans, because this is incredibly done! A beautiful rendition of such a unique theme.

[@ChilupaKing]

I have very much wanted to make a series where all the Star Fox games tied together in a way that made sense. Think of it as a reboot but with everything included in it. I thought about making an audio book style narration but don't really have confidence that Nintendo would ever let such a thing happen, considering how they treat their Dedicated fans such as yourself (I'm surprised you haven't gotten a copyright take down). I just want you to know that your music goes perfectly with the style I had in mind for my ideas. Thank you for your time and effort into making this music, and hope that one day nintendo can appreciate your dedication and loyalty to the franchise!! "Never give up!! Trust your instincts!!"

[@yukiyukari77]

Instant chills

[@598bryce]

This sounds amazing! Like it makes me feel like im in some space station staring out into space. I didnt quite get that vibe with the otiginal, but i have to imagine thats what they were going for.

[@StarFoxMaster64]

I love your work this is amazing. Keep it up, definitely makes the Star Fox music even more awesome!

[@WSADHelios]

StarFoxMaster64 Thanks! I'm honored you think that ^^

[@StarFoxMaster64]

You are welcome. As a thanks for your awesome work you have been mentioned on the Star Fox 64 3DS facebook page, and are now added to my recommend channel listing. I hope your work is recognized more as you go along :)

[@Rabi1492]

If you do a patreon start, i would pay you to do an album of star fox 64. Your work is amazing. If you are just starting out you have a talent and a ear for creating such wonderful symphonies that every gamer has dreamed about for ages! For now, Continue doing Starfox, cant wait to hear what Sector y/Solar sounds like. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@WSADHelios]

Rylen Sheche Heh, I've honestly never even considered doing a project that large. (Mostly because I don't know anything about the legal stuff when it comes to albums of licensed music.) Thanks for the compliments, I definitely don't intend on stoppin'! :D

[@andrewgardiner1077]

One game I’d love to make would be a prequel, featuring the original Star Fox team. You’d play as a new recruit, Ace Vulpes, as you fly missions alongside James McCloud, Peppy Hare, and Pigma Dengar. It would tell the story of the formation of the team, the beginnings of Star Wolf, and the mission that resulted in the deaths of James and Ace, the betrayal from Pigma, and Peppy’s escape by the skin of his teeth. You’d play as Ace for the bulk of the game, but you’d play as Peppy for a couple missions (escaping Venom… with the boss being Pigma; and the epilogue on Corneria during the Lylat War, where Peppy sees the general that killed Ace, and breaks formation to avenge his former wingman.)

[@MacEwanMouse]

Just play as Peppy.

[@AcidLightning]

[@fancytoonlinkwindwaker]

What about the Combat theme from Venon Second Route or the Venom Boss fight from the original Star Fox :D

[@WSADHelios]

[@FateStrife]

Here in Germany, this game was titled “Lylatwars”. I actually like that name a lot. This song is awesome btw.

[@WSADHelios]

FateStrife Same here in Holland! I think the whole Pal region had Lylatwars as the title. Decided to post it under 'Starfox 64' for a better global reach though ;p Glad you like it!

[@NOOOOOMufasasdead]

Same in UK

[@FlipswitchX]

The pacing here is a little fast and sounds like it cuts itself off compared to the original, but the instrumentation is excellent.

[@mariobertrand6305]

The is truly excellent. How did you go about arranging this? Computer software or did you use a studio with musicians?

[@WSADHelios]

Thanks! I wish I had actual live musicians at my disposal :p But no, I use orchestral libraries which contains recorded sounds of musicians.

[@ChristianAVS]

Movie worthy

[@frankrawr7747]

Hi WSADHelios! Is it hard to make re-creations of game tracks like this? I am looking at learning to do this, and I thought BTV Solo would be good for this. Is BTV Solo able to import tracks and remaster them like you did with this StarFox Menu theme? What do you use? Do you recommend BTV Solo? What do you think I should use? Thanks! :)

[@beatblock149]

🎧👌

[@lukecallaghan5575]

Wonderful stuff! Ever thought of covering some F-Zero music? :).

[@WSADHelios]

Thanks :D! Never thought of it, mostly because (to me) it sounds like more rock-y than orchestral (probably due to the drums and usage of their synth bass), but I'll have another listen. Any specific track you'd like to hear?

[@lukecallaghan5575]

I think I get what you mean, it would be a real challenge to try and tackle some of the music due to the rock inspired tunes. In terms of actual tracks, Silence and White Land from the original game might be a cool challenge, a little easier transition, other than the usual Mute City and Big Blue covers. Maybe Aeropolis or Green Plant from F-Zero GX could be interesting in an Orchestration as suggestions! :). If the one from these, definitely Silence.

This is beyond great! I'm having trouble with SoundCloud downloading. Do you have another page that has the mp3's to all of your Star Fox music? Or would you accept a Paypal donation for them? I am into all things Star Fox and I love your fun creations!

[@WSADHelios]

John Denbow hey, thanks! Chances are the download limit's at max on Soundcloud, free user and all. I'll reup them to mediafire or the like later today when I'm home and drop 'em in a reply. Thanks for the paypal offer, appreciate it but I dont find that necessary at all!

[@Joe.Kidd.]

Excellent! Thank you! Stay creative and have fun!

If its perfectly okay with you, do I have permission to use your remixed version of the menu theme for a main menu sound mod for L4D2? (Left 4 Dead 2 in short.) Credit shall be given.

[@relu419]

I really hate the new design of Fox Mc Cloud, but good version.

[@enemyofbohemia]

I can appreciate the work put into this, however I don't think that the arrangement really works overall. The original was a very low key, but moving piece and its effectiveness was due partly to the pared down instrumentation. Here the effect is dulled because you utilize too many instruments. The war drums, and especially the choir addition are overwrought and take away from the melancholy beauty of the original. Here it just seems like the noisy soundtracks you get today, but it doesn't have what made the original special, beside the melody.
