I'm rather suspicious of your work. I hear this as the exact same as Double Dash's version. Maybe you are really good at doing really minor things to adjust. Maybe this is the same. I disagree that this has the largest difference. I think your SSBB- Vs. Petey Piranha had the biggest difference. I just listened to this and the original as side by side as I could get them. Besides that I couldn't synchronize them perfectly, I didn't hear a single difference. It's a perfect copy unless there's something I'm missing.

1:08 hurt badly! I think it's a trumpet in the original (I'm probably wrong), I play trumpet myself, and that was incredibly painful. But I'm not nearly enough of a jerk to rate 0 for that. It comes back at 3:18 too... but I'm still not going to rate 0. It's a great remix (PAIN!!!), but please bring the specified parts down. The bass is great throughout, and I suppose it compensates for the extremely high parts. 0:12 makes this a 10 from me, despite the banshee used twice. The rest of the song is well done, but I just want to get this to you if nothing else: Please bring down 1:08 and 3:18.

Haha, I would if it wasn't a song made 2 years ago XD..
But the original has an Electric Guitar in it, no Trumpets ^^!
Thanks for leaving a comment though :)

The bass is definitely there. I can hear it fine, but I listened to the original beforehand. Certain places, the bass stands out more than it does in other places. In opposite situations, the bass can't be heard at all, and that's where a problem comes. Besides the bass, my only complaint is around 1:31 the instrument chosen does not go down 2 steps. I know it's a rock remix, but that decent has to happen. Again, knowing it's rock, the instruments seem logically picked, not that I'm 100% confident in figuring out which they are. Perhaps more contrast so I'm not constantly hearing what I think are two guitars and a drum set. I think it's a good piece, clearly labeled, but could do with some work.

Personally, I'm all for upbeat songs. This however, seems too fast compared to the original, which I am very fond of, despite the fact that I never owned Mario Kart 64 prior to the malfunction of my Nintendo 64. Besides the ridiculous speed, this sounds like a very good remix. Unless remixing an already upbeat song, please do your best not to take the tempo too high up.

Out of the many things I listen to, this is certainly one of the best. I enjoy remixes very much, though a majority are not quite as good as the original. This, like many remixes I care to hear, is an exception. The greatest thing I notice is the part going underneath the melody. The melody itself, I hear it better than in the original where it seems it should stand out. I know from what it sounds like and the other reviews that it is mostly synth, but the part I think of as a flute remains. However, I miss the brass resembling sound from the original. Overall, it's improved the bottom in a very important way, and brings out the top where it needs to. A great way to bring back a twelve year old song. Please do this with Rainbow Road DS.

wow this has to be the most detailed review I've ever received. I remember starting this remix out of sheer boredom and in the end it became one of my most popular remixes I've ever done. I love sharing my music with the world and I'm glad so many people have enjoyed it.

"It just sounds like it's missing a bit."
I hear several skips throughour the song and realized that you may have left it out on purpose or forgot. The first is at about 36 seconds. There are other of these scenarios and it just seems strange to me. And what happened to that part that would have been at 2:46? Just my thoughts. I still think it's very good.

This is a very good job. I like how the song transitions from the Big Bridge to the Dreadful Battle and back. If I knew what program you used, I might try to to a similar thing with the Neo Ex-death and Zeromus battle songs. The use of the Dreadful Battle's intro near the end was great as well. Great work.

That is a good idea, actually - mind if I steal it? You know, if I ever manage to get through the pile of mixing work I've already dug myself into. lol
