Made this for MnP in its infancy. https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/MnP08

Another interesting round. My samples were barely better than the SNES', but it adds to the charm methinks.

Welp, I literally had to look up who the hell Winky was...and then found out that was the Frog Animal Buddy's name!!! ...I had no clue! XD And I played a lot of DKC 1, 2 and 3 back in the day!

Anyways, nice drums and percussion, nice faithful rendition, cool synths. Real smooth. Drums and bass were a bit too thumpy and loud and IDK, to me, could've used a bit more attack, but otherwise, I really like this remix. :D Nice work. ^^

Even before reading the comments, I thought, "This right here could be the very definition of what your MnP competition is all about." I've said this before... probably to you, in fact, but I can appreciate just about any faithful recreation of a SNES track that removes the crippling effect of the console's Gaussian filter.

Hey, I like that shitty muffled sound. So nostalgic. But yeah, the intent was to do a sound upgrade with some changes along the way. Not quite what I aimed for, but it worked out OK.
