M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (Mario Kart/Tennis; post #93)

Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (SMBoards Version!)

News posting, everyone -- sorry that I'm late with this, finally snagged the chance to get this out of the way.

Anyway, the "three years strong" post itself -- I did manage to post that last Wednesday -- this is in regards to the gallery itself in general as well as possible future plan to get the word out about this thing. You can read the details on it right here.

And before anyone asks, yes, when there are new additions to my gallery itself, I'll make sure to post news about it here as well. In fact, I'm currently trying to decide what to go after next after I rejuvenate from other business at hand. Once again, will keep you all posted. ;D
 
Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (SMBoards Version!)

All right, you faithful followers (still hoping you all were sticking with me), I'm happy to say that I've got new additions posted as of today! And about time two -- because it's been... let's see... two months since no new Super Nintendo music style arrangements have been posted...? And I promised myself that I'd get something posted before April draws to a close! *laughs* Anyway, let's cut to the chase.

Okay, I was hoping to see about doing some Super Nintendo music style arrangements of New Super Mario Bros. U this month, but the procedure for my targets there will have to be postponed until next month. Not disappointed in this for a second because here's where I'm getting at. Recently, I've been viewing videos of gameplay for the Japanese version of Game & Wario (which of course is on store shelves in Japan; we here in the United States will be getting our version in about one to two months). And it was a good thing that I managed to view the Japan version of this game at the right time - I was carefully listening to the musical score of the "Arrow" game for Game & Wario, and let's just say -- I had to get myself up and get to "arrangement work"!

So, here's the case -- after listening to the music from respective gameplay videos countless times, I've managed to do Super Nintendo music style arrangements of these versions of the "Arrow" musical score for Game & Wario:

* Arrow - Practice Phase (Target Practice) (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)
* Arrow - Phase 1 - Main Fight (Robot "Tiny Warios") (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)
* Arrow - Phase 2 - Boss Fight (Giant "Wario Tank") (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)

Granted, these STILL don't do justice as compared to the original heard in the Game & Wario game itself, but as you can tell, all of them use the Super Nintendo instrument set heard in the Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge game. On another note, I was hoping that I would be able to do the music that was heard in the intro cutscene to this "Arrow" game (since it's completely hilarious from beginning to end), but I found that to be extremely confusing, so I decided it wasn't worth my time to even attempt arrangement work on it.

All right, enough talk; get at the files, and as always, let me know if you have any difficulties accessing them. I'll also post a detailed entry about these three arrangments at my home base for this gallery either later tonight or during the course of tomorrow. Enjoy these additions, everyone! :)

NOTE: I do have the list of composers who wrote the score for this game itself, but the forum censors won't let me add them because of a certain "word". :( This really hurts, but I'm not complaining about this; as I wrote earlier, the said composers themselves can be found at my "Acknowledgement List" at the home base as well (under "Acknowledgement List" -> List of Mario Series' Music Composers).
 
Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (SMBoards Version!)

Heads-up, faithul listeners of this gallery hosted by yours truly - if any of you have visited the "home base" of these operations, I've got some very urgent news that I have to let you know about right now:

For those of you have been checking out our "home base" of operations for this music gallery, I need to inform you that I just got the notice from the site hosts there that the account in relation to my site there is currently suspended. That means that if you attempt to click on links that lead to the said home base website, they are currently in inactive status because the hosts detected that there might have been "possible abuse" on the account (which seriously concerns me).

This, of course, has me outraged and I have just contacted support to get to the bottom of the matter and get answers. Regardless, this is also a good time to let you folks know that even if the situation does gets resolved, I do plan to see about transferring the home base of operations themselves to a new host because I am now convinced that I find the current site host VERY untrustworthy (yes, the same ones who suspended the related account for my site) with the ultimate factor being the domain name that the site is under.

The only good news of the matter before this crisis happened is that the music files and main site files have been backed up. But I'm not sure about the database side at this time (which has the content itself for both the main site and forum portals); I'm waiting for support to get back with me in relation to that case.

This also means that my upcoming music arrangement update attempts are ALSO delayed as I try to get this website case resolved as well. Sorry if I sound repetitive on this notice, this just hit me like a ton of bricks right now, and as you can tell, I am very displeased about the matter, as mentioned earlier.

All right, that's all the news I have for now; will keep you all posted if any more news breaks in relation to this case. I'm out.
 
Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (SMBoards Version!)

I've been listening to these songs for a few months already, but never posted here. They are very nice!

Anyway, I noticed your problem with the forum censor on these composers for G&W. To solve that, simply put some forum formatting in the word, like this:

Code: 
Hiroki Moris[i][/i]hita

It will simply be Hiroki Morishita, without censor.
 
Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (SMBoards Version!)

^ Thanks for the tip; I might take that into consideration in the future.

Also, to everyone - quick update on the "home base situation" - I did manage to sign up for a new account at a different host, but the verification process is currently "pending" at this time. Also, I got the news that the hosts themselves are currently having trouble on their end, so it might be until the course of next week when I'll be able to get my site materials transferred to the new hosting account.

Plus, the other good news is that in the short timespan I had recently, I was able to get backups of my main website database content and my forum system database content. However, on the forums side of the site, I'm currently considering changing the forum software (thank heavens that I'm able to refer to important post content from the forum database backup there whenever I need it). Once the dust clears, I can decide on what I should do next.

Once again, music arrangement procedures and general update procedures are currently "on hold" until this site home base situation there gets dealt with in a timely manner. Will keep you all posted.
 
Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (SMBoards Version!)

Okay, everyone; I got two things to report on in relation to this endeavour, and it's all great news!

First of all, I'm very happy to announce that the "home base" of the gallery operations is back in action to start off the new month (and not a moment too soon)! One thing to note is that the URL for the "home base" site has been changed. You're able to find it right here; please make sure to update your bookmarks as well in regards to this case. The emails for the home base site have been changed as well; look for entries regarding that over there as well. Also, I know that many of you may be wondering "what in the heck was going on during the past two to three weeks?!" I posted an entry possibly giving the answer right here. Hopefully this will be the last time I encounter this kind of mess for a long while.

Second, in regards to music arrangement procedures, I'm also happy to announce that they're now back in action again (and I am so relieved for that to occur once more). Hopefully during the course of this week I'll possibly see about posting the first additions of the new month.

That's all until next time, everyone! I'm out.
 
Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (SMBoards Version!)

Hey there, everyone; long time no see (again...), especially in the case of this thread. I've been going through a lot of turbulent situations as of late -- throw in real life situations with my family, arguments at other videogame communities even to the point of their trying to destroy my enthusiasm overall -- and you can tell they're all out to get my enthusiastic spirit "killed" on all fronts... literally! But I'll spare the details in regards to those matters and keep the focus on this thread because I'm happy to report on some upcoming updates slated for later this month for the gallery!

To the point: as I just mentioned, the update itself is planned to get posted before July is out, but the details are too much for me to put in this post. Instead, I'll just ask you all to check out this entry that I posted at the gallery "home base" a few hours ago.

There's also a discussion topic in relation to the post that I just put online there at the home base as well; for those of you who are interested in finding out where said topic in question is, please don't hesitate to PM me so that you'll be able to join the discussion there as well (reason being that I want this thread to keep the discussion focused on the music posted here so far). Thanks, all; I'm out.
 
Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (SMBoards Version!)

Okay, all; will update the topic starters later today, but at long last after three months of update idleness, I've come with new Super Nintendo music style arrangement targets ready for your listening. Nine are from Game & Wario and two are from Super Mario 3D Land. The arrangements in question are the following:

Game & Wario:
Introduction - Part 1 (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)
Introduction - Part 2 (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (SNES Version) Arrangement)
Arrow - Introduction (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)
Ski - Introduction (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)
Ski - Menu (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)
Ski - Time Trials (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)
Ski - Time Trials - Course Cleared (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)
Gamer - 9-Volt Mode: The "Warning" (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)
Gamer - 9-Volt Mode: "Busted..." (Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (SNES Version) Arrangement)

Super Mario 3D Land:
Special World 8 - Main Map (Disney's Bonkers (SNES Version - Capcom) Arrangement)
Special World 8 - Crown Map (Disney's Bonkers (SNES Version - Capcom) Arrangement)

As you can tell, we've got a new instrument set featured - and it's the one done for the Super Nintendo game Disney's Bonkers as created by Capcom. Repeating; I'll be updating the topic starters accordingly with said info as well as the links I just posted above. Hopefully I'll snag time to still do some "Behind the Scenes" posting stuff at the "home base" because there are a few things that I really want to share with you all about this stuff. I'm out for now, everyone; later!
 
Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (SMBoards Version!)

Hey there, all; recently, certain situations have been trying to get me "silenced", but I'm fighting through them all. I still won't disclose said "details" at this time as to why. But what I CAN say is that my music arrangement endeavours are still full force over here. The question is - for those of you who are following this endeavour, are you all still with me? Because as I said in one of my past entries, I'm not letting this come under surrender any time soon!

Anyway, to the point of this "quick news update": the other day I posted an entry at the home base website in which the majority of that entry was sharing news that I do plan to target more stuff in relation to the musical score of Game & Wario. You can find more details about this at this entry. When you do, make sure to visit the related thread on the forums there to discuss what music arrangement stuff you guys hope I'll target as the weeks forge ahead. Once again, the related forum thread posted there is NOT a request thread, per se; however, this will still give me an idea about who here is also looking forward to more Game & Wario music arrangement stuff from me as the weeks forge ahead.

That's all for now; hope to hear from you folks again very soon! I'm out for now.
 
Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (SMBoards Version!)

Hi there, everyone; STILL had been a while. Are you folks still with me in following this endeavour? Because I'm still at this thing; but dealing with some more urgent "situations" at this time as stated in this entry, this entry, and now this entry.

To the point - hoping to get personal situations recitifed at this time because we all know that we're down to our last three months of this year. Recently, I was checking my target list regarding what musical scores I planned to do well into the future, and it looks like we're going to be in this for the long haul. Obviously, I'm looking forward to it. However, I still need your ideas/suggestions in regards to how I'm able to make said operations better (including the "home base" of operations). You're able to find more information about said request here. One thing is for certain - I refuse to believe that our beloved Super Nintendo music style is "dead"; not by a lon
