Score: 9
"True to the original, capturing its rich ambience."

After its inclusion in the SSBB soundtrack, Stickerbrush Symphony started being remixed in a variety of bland, boring, mechanical-sounding styles. This arrangement stands out in part because it pays homage to the powerful subtlety and pacing of the original piece.
The instrumentation is well-handled here and the piece flows just as it should, gently rising in complexity and building to a fitting climax and almost bittersweet denouement - a lot of people express images of flying or being underwater in a seemingly weightless suspension when listening to Stickerbrush (like an underwater level, for example) and that beautiful sensory stimulus is faithfully recreated in this work.
Congratulations for this impressive take on a beloved classic.
