A shame none of the extra jingley-dingles could be made, but frankly this sounds so GOOD I'm gonna let it slide. This is a FANTASTIC reimagining of my personal favorite 2D Mario game. Hits me right in the best parts of the Childhood. Definitely gonna keep an eye out for whatever you cook up next.

[@skydevxyz]

thank you! i wish i made the jingles too, but oh well. SMB3 is one of my favourite games of all time, thought i should do something to represent that hahaha

[@bloxxerstudios8746]

@@skydevxyz It's pretty fantastic. Maybe one day some fan will pop open Famitrackers VRC6, and finally complete the little jingles and pait them along with the rest of this grooving music. Oh well- I'm glad you made this anyways! OST reimaginings are some of my absolute favorite things to listen to. Keep up the good work!

[@floralQuaFloral]

Super Mario Bros 3's soundtrack just makes me so happy! ❤️ These covers are really great, they've got the same lovely pleasant vibes as the original but with a unique new sound. I love the energy you added to the Athletic theme in particular. I also really like your cover of the P-Switch theme, it's such a simple tune that it totally caught me off guard that you even did it, but I actually really like this version of it.

[@skydevxyz]

yeah, the soundtrack is full of goodies. i had a lot of fun with the athletic one! the p switch theme was actually the first thing i finished for this project. to be honest, i wasn't planning on covering the whole ost, but after doing the p switch i knew what had to be done hahahaha

[@TheMrC700]

Oh god... This covers are awesome The athletic theme made me cry of how beautiful it is, that's how I used to listen to this soundtrack when I was 7 or so Incredible job!

[@skydevxyz]

Wow...thank you so much...

[@superchiptunetv2291]

oh my the underground remix is so badass

[@skydevxyz]

Thank you ^_^

[@CreativeMegamix]

I love how you incorporated the Super Mario Maker editor versions of the level themes into the rearrangements and combined them into something fresh.

[@binkaminOfficial]

underwater has that analog feel to it with the modulation. well done!

[@visionary7021]

I can't belive no one noticed it, but for the overworld theme he used the Edit theme from SMM2.

[@skydevxyz]

Yee The Mario Maker arrangements are great and I wanted to implement some of them somehow. The underground theme in this is partly inspired by SMB1's underground edit theme!

[@visionary7021]

[@skydevxyz]

That's super neat, thank you!

[@galactica-rd6cv]

My god, all of these are amazing! Seriously good work with this. 3's OST was outstanding before, and this manages to take it up a few levels. 💜

[@skydevxyz]

thank u very much, I'm glad u think so !

[@MishKoz]

I love the Mario 64 Bowser motif in your version of World 2. Really enhances what used to be a 5 second loop.

[@krinkles147]

I like how you added the edit themes in there

[@highestsettings]

one of the best uses of the VRC6 (or similar) for this game if nothing else, would be to have a separate track for sound effects so they don't interrupt the excellent music in this game.

[@adscomics]

God, you didn't have to go so hard on that athletic theme, man

[@skydevxyz]

Haha!! Somebody had to! Thank you!

[@WispySkies02]

This takes my favorite game to a whole new level. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this. Perfect job on this ❤️

[@skydevxyz]

awww thank you!! im glad this still holds up some years later :) very happy you enjoyed, from one huge Mario 3 fan to another x) !!!!

[@WispySkies02]

I’m really grateful that you made this. Would you be okay if I took the NSF file that you have in the description and try to put them on an actual SMB3 game?

[@IsabelleChiming]

These are cool, they're simple but they work. I think I would have liked to see more creative deviations from the originals. Really put those channels to work and come up with some cool ideas on how to fully expand on these classic songs.

[@IsabelleChiming]

Honestly i was a lot more into the later ones- world maps and extra themes. They feel more creative and cool probably because those songs gave you less to work with from the start.

[@shadowmariogalaxy64]

Honestly, I half expected much more complexity myself, even though I know much of the OST can be difficult to implement it in, it can be done in some ways. Still, simplicity works well.

[@MissingNo0001]

that extension in the music box is so cool !!!

[@MarioGlitchy9]

This kinda sounds as if SMB3 was remastered and put on the switch Also I watched through the whole video. It was beautiful!

[@skydevxyz]

thank you bro

[@joshi_6887]

Put it to 0.75 and here's your PAL soundtrack (but in pal regions very few games were optimised)

[@Eldoofus]

This is Legendary -btw SMB3 is my favourite 8-bit- -Mario Game-

[@UraniumLeaf]

This is why we should all trust VRC6 when making 8-bit style music.

[@shreemandpe]

Gonna drop a comment here just to engage the algorithm. This needs to be seen by more people!

[@skydevxyz]

thank you

[@clonefighter1996]

0:03 Ayo you actually included the edit theme for SMB3 Overworld here. Guess I'm obliged to state the next joke... 5:54 [ahem] SMB3 Miniboss sfx 6:36 smooth 9:59 Entry of the Gladiators in bonus game!? 13:07 SMB1 Miniboss sfx- /j. Smooth remix as well, though 15:36 and 16:05 at this point just became two of 100th Coin's themes to me 17:05 Ah yes, the ACE theme. 17:42 smooth pt.3 18:01 no way you included the [P-Switch hit] sound 18:29 Starting the Starman theme off slow really caught me off guard on first listen. Overall, nice compilation of SMB3 remixes.

[@MoonwalkerWorshiper]

Absolutely splendid. 👏 Now the best work of your own composition was that of the Underground tune. That is truly married into it.

[@LoveatFirstHike]

We need a rom hack with these in it pronto!

[@elvisrobotbeta3299]

Curious style that you have. I like some of them because of the added tunes, like in the world 5 track

[@MPM_Matz]

Brilliant! Thank you for all these good music remakes! I'd liked the most of them! 😊

[@joshi_6887]

this is tooo good why isn't it viral?

You used the edit themes from Super mario maker as bass. You sir have my utmost respect

[@Nintendofan2024-e7y]

It would have been nice if Nintendo had actually done the soundtrack this way. They had five channels to use.

[@skydevxyz]

Still, the original soundtrack is a fine display of the 2A03

Alot of these sound like they have some remixing coming from the edit menus for Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2. Not complaining though, they sound really good. XD

Absolu excelle.

[@vgmdeconstructed]

Amqzing work! I love the atheltic theme! Why did you choose to not use some channels in some of the pieces? E,g, the overworld theme doesn't use the triangle channel. As you've given a link to the NSF I assume your cover is free for use as long as you're credited?

[@skydevxyz]

@@vgmdeconstructed thank you! I was relatively new to music creation at the time, so I struggled trying to fill-out some tracks. I didn't know what to put in some empty channels to enhance the track, so instead of trying i just left it empty . or I felt a channel wasn't needed. yes, all my work is freely available under that condition . thank you again!

[@vgmdeconstructed]

@@skydevxyz You're welcome! Ah, I see, that makes sense. I've noticed a similar thing with other pieces of video game music not using all of the channels. It makes the music more interesting! I've yet to make my own covers, I'm interested in making my own covers. How long did take you to learn how to use Famitracker? Okay,! You're welcome! Thank you!

[@skydevxyz]

@@vgmdeconstructed it's hard to say exactly how long it took, but i started taking it serious in march 2019. this video is from august 2019 so... only a few months on-and-off to get used to it to the point where i could take on a project like this. i used covers as a way to familiarize myself with learning the program, without having to worry about composing, so yeah covers are definitely a great thing to do. best wishes to you! i hope you make lots of cool stuff!

Imagine if you could like fuck with a cart and modify it to use this chip and these arrangements. That would be so sick

[@skydevxyz]

it would require rewriting a lot of code -- need to support the new mapper and replace the music engine -- but definitely possible these files are free to use and download, so maybe someone'll give it a shot one day!

[@CosmicTailz]

So basically SMB3's entire OST but without console limits?

[@skydevxyz]

kind of - it still follows limitations, just different ones to that of the NES! theoretically, this could be played on console, if the cartridge had the right chips
