Reviews for "Mario Bros. Invincibility"

40 seconds?

It doesn't start till 40 seconds in? What the heck man! That intro is way too long! The actual invincibility theme doesn't come in till almost a minute in, and until then you're wondering, is this really the Mario Bros. Invincibility theme? Cuz I sure don't hear it. Lucky for you I'm not like a lot of people who won't wait for the song to get started and rate it bad if they don't like the beginning. The beginning of a song is crucial on this site. Fortunately, the beginning isn't bad, it just isn't the invincibility theme. But people might still wonder where the invincibility theme is and rate 0-2 and leave before the first 40 seconds are up. Honestly, the first 40 seconds sound familiar, like I've heard them in a completely non-Mario-related song. So people might come in, be like, "what the, this isn't Mario," and then leave disappointed without hearing the whole song. Intros aren't a bad thing, but don't make them so long! I say 16 seconds max, and it better be an interesting intro. Yours was interesting, but too freaking long.

Enough about that though. This is a pretty awesome remix nonetheless. I mean we're talking the invincibility theme here, and you managed to stretch that loop to 4 minutes! It's normally only a couple of measures long. Yet you managed to make 4 minutes of awesome invincibility music (although 40 seconds wasn't the invincibility theme, so I guess only 3 min 20 sec). That I find to be impressive. Thus I give you a 5/5 and an 8/10, only taking off for the long, unrelated intro.

I really appreciate your comment. I guess you're right about the intro thing.
Maybe there is a little explanation for this: In the early stage of making this remix I always thought about adding a melody to the song. I had one melody stuck in my head for a long long time and it sounded so familiar, also along with the mario games, but I could not figure out where it came from, so I decided to leave it out. However I decided to leave this intro in to provide more alternation in that whole thing. It still sounded a bit familiar, but I couldn't figure it out. After uploading the song I found out that the Invincibility theme of "Yoshi's Island" had this melody that was stuck in my head. It still sounds a tiny little bit like my intro.

Still I guess you're right about the intro, it's not really attracting if you read the title. So thank you for your criticism and appreciation!

Groovy!

Amazingly well achieved this one. Sounds like it belongs in an actual Mario game!

But.... "40 seconds?" review by: LightRiku is right. You must remember that you are trying to appeal to an internet audience. And people aren't always pacient or forgiving like me and that other dude LOL

Rock on dude, make some more of these, they are fucking awesome.

GerriKo responds:

Thank you very much. I appreciated the criticism regarding to the intro and decided to leave it out. I uploaded the new version two weeks ago, but it didn't gain quite much attention because someone rated it down really badly. Go check it out or download it if you want to. Some good ratings might be helpful, too :)
Thanks anyways for your kind words!

I...JUST...

CANT...STOP...DANCING! Love the bouncy groove you got going here, love the use of stereo channels, little bit concerned about the lack of filters and effects added to everything else, but I give this a 10 simply because it made me bounce! :d Oh wait, you didn't make the beat yourself, sorry, I have to give you an 8! Don't be so lazy next time! EPIC CHOON!
