Remember that thing? That was gnarly. The heart was a bass throb, the mushroom was like a little bongo, the fire flower was a horn, the cat was a... meowing cat... the Yoshi was that distinctive (and tres avant-garde) WA-POW sound, a sound I never could comprehend... it ruled. I thought the giggle-face was stupid though.
This site has a zip file of like 50 swinging little tunes people made, as well as a midi of one of the main themes that plays while you're drawing. Not as cool as the in-game music game though... the actual ''soundtrack'' in that game had that really spacey, idiosyncratic atmosphere that was really distinctive, I mean I can't really think of anything that sounds quite like the Mario Paint music. It sounded kind of peaceful, but actually felt sort of sinister to me... it gave me the heebie-jeebies, I'll just leave it at that.
Anyway yeah, the music composer thing. That rocked. I used to compose a lot of ''solos for three bassists''. Too bad you were only able to assign three ''sounds'' per beat, I had some pretty ambitious arrangements in mind, but could never fully realize them. I bet there's a Mario Paint plug-in floating around somewhere, right?

Yeah, the music that plays when you're making stamps, I'm listening to it now... it's definitely goofy, but I don't find it very ''fun'' or playful... it's just fucked up. It's like the soundtrack to an anal probe in a really bright white room.

I remember this! This and that bug swatting game were my favorites. I listened to a fair bit of them, they're alot better compared to the stuff I made when I was 12 hahahah.

Mario Paint is amazing.
also, the music for Earthbound was pretty surreal. that whole game was pretty surreal, though. definitely one of my favorite snes games.
now that i think of it, i think my 3 faves were Mario Paint, Final Fantasy 3, and Earthbound.

Yep, the music in Earthbound (and Mother 1, too... a lot of the themes and melodies in Earthbound are adapted from the first game) is up there with the best music I've ever heard, video game or otherwise. And I'm saving your avatar to my ''best XLT avatars folder''.
Fah- you should get to emulating it. It's archaic as all get out, but I think it's stylized and weird enough to still be fun.

I didn't like how there weren't really any sharps or flats. Everything sounded like it was in a weird pentonic scale or something. You can make some good beats with the sailboat and mushroom, and speeding it up drill-style afterwards. epecially if you use that "industrial" sounding low-pitched metal clanking sound.
There's some hidden something or other in that game that my friend showed me. I can't remember what it is exactly. If you don't click and let the loading screen just keep going, a bunch of graphics will show up with mario... and a star flys by the screen really fast and mario tries to touch it.. But if you time it just right and click on the star some kind of funky hidden thing comes up.
Also, I wonder how many kids used the four frames of animation to create stick figure pornography?

The Electric Family - Mariopaint
Irdial did this years ago. For fans of the program, it's real enjoyable.

Yeah I heard. I've often fantasized about Mother 3. However, my heart was saying ''yes'' and my brain was saying ''no''. I kind of dread it. Whatever it is that made the first two games special, it doesn't seem like it would be easy to build on, or even just duplicate. And I remember the repulsive screenshots of Mother 3 for N64.
But I'm still cautiously excited, I mean, it's a sequel to what's probably my favorite game ever. Thank God Itoi is still in charge and they didn't dish it off to some other Nintendork. And when I went to the website and saw the new logo, it did get my spine a tingling.

The WA-POW sound is to my mind the predecessor to "orchestra hits" sounds, but with a cheeky 2-step feel.
