Three-Way Retro Trance Battle!
sonicmario | 12:22 PM on 05.28.2008 1 comments




Since my Galaga Remix was well received (Thanks a lot) it's time for a Triple-Trance-Retro Combo!

Our first contestant, fighting out of the red corner, weighing in at 3 minutes, 56 seconds @ 144 BPM, with a record of two "10's" at Newgrounds, hailing from Brooklyn, NY via the SNES,

Give it up for "Super Mario RPG: Happy RPG" !

-Back when Square and Nintendo were friends they released this gem of a game. When I turned it on and the game ran the intro showing the characters, that music in the background got stuck in my head. So much so that I remember watching the intro again just to hear the opening track. I was ready to play some freakin' Final Fantasy - Mario Edition (at least that's what I called it at first).

Fighting out of the blue corner, weighing in at 4 minutes, 12 seconds @ 140 BPM, with a record of one "10" at Newgrounds, from Mobius via the Sega Genesis,

Put your hands together for "Sonic & Knuckles: Don't Stop" !

-One day, I was playing some Sonic 3 & Knuckles and one of ATB's tracks called "Don't Stop" started playing from my iTunes. A thought entered my head: The main hook for "Don't Stop" sounds like it would fit well with the title theme for Sonic 3 and Knuckles if I change the pitch just a little bit. What would happen if I remixed the two ideas; what kind of fun could I have? Here's the result.

Finally, presenting our special guest competitor, weighing in at 3 minutes, 33 seconds @ 140 BPM, with a record of two "10's" and one "7" at NG, from the Mushroom Kingdom via the Nintendo 64,

Please welcome "Super Mario 64: Mario Powered" !

-Uh oh... Mario has just got found a Wing Cap... with some Ecstasy inside...uh I mean an invincible star! It's all over now!

Inspired by: Super Mario 64 - Wing Cap Mario, and I added some Invincible Star flavor as well.

-- --

Let Tranz Batel BEGIN!

[Some of you may be thinking: Wait a minute, there were two Mario tracks and only one Sonic track, that's not fair. Well technically it's a Sonic AND Knuckles track so that kinda evens it out...sort of... in a weird sort of way...a way that I'm making up just now.]

(Please feel free to leave some reviews and comments so that I can improve myself.)

In the days of yore, and as the console wars raged on, I found myself in the middle of two fierce factions. I had friends who liked Sonic and thought that Sega and its Genesis could do no wrong, and I had friends who like Mario and thought that Nintendo and the SNES were equally infallible. Since I owned both systems, many times my friends would come over to my place to do battle, both verbally ("Sonic Sux!/Rox! No, Mario Sux!/Rox!" "I know you are but what am I" etc.) and on the electronic playgrounds of both consoles. One time, when I was kicking their collective asses in Super Mario Kart, I said something like this: "One day they'll make a game that has both Sonic and Mario in it together and it will be the greatest game ever!" Yes, in the console wars, I was Switzerland. After the laughter died down, someone said, "What would you call it, the sonicmario game? That'll never happen!" I said, "Yeah, sounds like a good game to me." For the rest of the day they called me sonicmario and I got my nickname. It seems that I eventually got my wish including good (SSB Brawl: WIN!) and iffy (Sonic vs Mario Olympics) examples.

As far as gaming goes, I play just about every genre except simulation sports games. But, I can get into the arcadey sports games that focus on fun instead of realism. Competitive puzzle games like Tetris Attack/Puzzle League are high on my list as well. I also like to dabble in the classic-type games in XBLA since they accommodate my retro tendencies. However, besides my bias toward platform games that star either a 2-Dimensional Sonic or Mario in them, I love to play shmups. Shmups are like no-limit poker; easy to play but difficult to master.

My real gaming love though is pinball. Not computer pinball, but real, tactile, arcade pinball. I'm sure that this one may be coming out of left field for some people, but I'll continue. I am a highly ranked player in the world of competitive pinball. Touring and playing in various tournaments is great fun, and I urge you, if you like pinball, to find a league in your area and compete.

I also have the "dumbest. avatar. ever." according to peachboy...which is awesome.
