What starts out as an innocent piano rendition of the worlds most popular Super Mario Theme... it develops into a big massive big band/gospel ensbemble! I'm really glad the way this one turned out, not to mention it's the most fun i've had in a while in terms of cover work. It basically builds from scratch until the end there are claps, choirs, brass stabs, right the way through to the *drum roll* last E7th ( 9/#11th) Chord with a classic big band ending!
Basically a two minute wonder (but don't let that fool you, this has quite a lot in it, more complex runs and key changes than you can shake a Goomba at). The actual theme to play on the piano is quite tricky, especially the middle section where the left hand plays triplets and the right hand is straight 4/4 >_<, so don't expect it to be note perfect (when is my stuff ever?) But it was the best I could do in the space of two hours.
Have fun listening everyone, this was certainly a joy to compose!
Thanks to all the commenters/faves/voters, it's all appreciated.

Sounds awesome, definitely the best version of this song i've heard. Still it seems to me though at the start there's a couple of times where it seems it's missing some notes? Maybe it's just me

Great job again, loving the modulations and transitions used from one note to another!

Innocent then PARADE. Love that beat at 2:45? I love it when I listen, then it scarily feels like I can see or feel your fingers on the board. Loved it :) It was so good! >o<
Rubbercookie Says:
Awesome, but I don't look your choice of the WRONG tone in the general theme. I bet it's there, but if it is, it is a backup of the other one. >_>
.. counted .|=.=o as three... and text can't display notes ;_;
It hurts each time I hear it. The rest is the work of a supreme power. Awesome work.
