Music Competition #17 - If You Were the Composer 2, Mario 64

Alright, Congrats for Hohoo and Shroomguy for getting second place. T'was a bit unfair that People started voting before Hohoo's entry was uploaded, but he came close.

This competition's theme is If You Were The Composer 2! The game you will be "composing" for will be Mario 64.

For those who aren't familiar with this:

1- Choose an area in said game
2- Ignore the music made for that area
3- Create a piece of music that will fit the area's atmosphere

It's quite fun. Many people get a different feel for an area depending on the music, or the area itself inspires music. If you need help, watch walkthrough videos on mute, or play the game with sound turned off!

I'll give you guys a month and a half because school is starting/has started. Top 5 voting begins October 3. I may lower it in time, but let's go with this for now.

Off you go, laddies

Taking the Bowser levels.

Wow a month and a half

I might take Dire Dire Docks

We have to reserve what area we are working with?

:?

I think they're just stating what they're interesting in trying. Yoshiman likes to play on expert mode, apparently.

No fair!

Hmm, I'm going to have to play through again, I can't remember half of the areas.

Sticky please

With a month-and-a-half of time to work on this, I don't see any merit in calling out a big part of your game plan the day-of. I guess my mileage varies.

Can I call the Bowser Battle theme? Not the cool organ one but the other one.

Game plan? D:

Well, yeah

This call is, essentially, an exercise in film scoring (video game scoring, really). With so many options in "Super Mario 64", why "call" your scene now, before you've even started? Things can, and probably will, change six weeks from now.

Doho, Kritter! This should be interesting.

Just throuwing this out in the open, after you make your song, you are free to offer it for the CFP. It'd really help.

I thought every song was free to use most of the the time, like the sprites in sprite competitions

I haven't payed attention to most of the Music Competitions, but I don't think any of us bother with copyright issues, so, technically, all of what we post is "free music".

I'll put up that any of my music that I've posted here can be used by a fangamer. I don't have any problems with that.

Although that is true, for a project like this, people might want to have a say in it.

I seriously doubt everybody will stick to the scenes they're calling out, and it's not like 2 people can't do the same level.

People call out like this in all the competitions, it's just so that people know what they might be expecting; it's not set in stone or anything.

EDIT: @SGG - Everything I make, unless I do it for a specific project, is completely free for anybody to do anything they want with it. So no quibbles from me if you guys want to use my entry!

(if I get it finished this time D:)

there's absolutely nothing wrong with two or more people doing the same song/area, after all, it provides more input as to the views of several people


we just like to state it to allow others to know

i like to state it to remind myself because half the time i'm like "wait **** what am i doing again *checks post*"

Basically this

Dire Dire docks becomes the menu theme then it becomes the ice world place and then it's ffff

I'll try Dire Dire Docks too.

Here is a WIP.

I find it quite soothing. It has 3/4 measure, Steinway grand piano soundfont and some Super Mario Galaxy feel too.
