Day 19 - Cover of music by a different artist

All right, I'm going to do this before anyone potentially asks: "cover" means completely new rearrangement with different instruments, not literally like a cover of an album (and "remix" is very misused to mean cover version to the point where even Smash gets it wrong: remix means it has elements of the same song with the same instruments in it with alterations or additions of tracks to the original piece: it's like layering rap lyrics on top of the original Mario underground theme). Even Wikipedia writes the definition of cover "a new performance or recording by someone other than the original artist or composer of a previously recorded song." so saying "cover of music by a different artist" is redundant.

I'll pick this


The original one is already pretty good, but I'm a huge fan of both jazz and funk, and I love the bubbly, cheerful voice in this song; it also comes with an amazing saxophone solo. I should probably mod this music in my Smash Ultimate in Onett over the Melee Pollyana song (it's great too, but I don't like it as much as this fan cover version, and I like addition of the lyrics that the original song has a lot), it would be totally rad. We need more cheerful, happy, more relaxed paced songs like Pollyana in Smash in general, I love having a large variety of music genres in my Smash rather than just faster-paced rock cover versions of songs ad infinitum.

obviously smash is the place where you'll find the most covers, and my pick is from there.
yup. one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite games composed by one of my favourite composers and remixed by another one of my favourite composers. treasure trove cove was already a really good song, but i personally prefer the smash remix, and it even gives me nostalgia despite me never growing up with bk

Vs. Ridley - Nintendo Land

I was going to post a Smash song but since I already did one two days ago, I chose one many people likely haven't heard. Nintendo Land's soundtrack is greatly overlooked, which is a shame because like Smash, it has some of the best arrangements of songs from different Nintendo franchises like Lower Norfair (Metroid), Big Blue and White Land (F-Zero) and even Murasame Castle's main theme. I like that they incorporated Meta Ridley's theme in this one.
 
Day 19 - Cover of a music by a different artist: Etrian Odyssey III Super Arrange - Battlefield: Those that Slay and Fall

You thought I would use smash but I decided that was too predictable and instead went with something even more predictable. This one is amazing. Yuzo Koshiro is the original composer and this arrangement was done by Noriyuki Kamikura. Amazing saxophone. I think at least 1-4 all have super arrange soundtracks but out of all of them, this one is my favourite. listne to itr
 
Day 19 (Cover of music by a different artist): Gerudo Valley Unplugged (cover by The Warp Zone)

A good few years back, this YouTube channel did a bunch of covers of popular video game songs (mainly acoustic covers, but there are a few ones where they did something different), and the first one they did was this song. And my goodness, it sounds absolutely perfect. Also, I encourage everyone to watch the video as they listen, as the transition from guitar to trumpet and back is hilarious.
