Bored? Try cueing up 1,000 Super Nintendo sound effects photo

What are you doing that's so important at 10 p.m. (or later depending on your time zone) at night? Jack sh*t, right? Well, here's something to do: re-enact your favorite Super Nintendo scenes and moments with almost 1,000 sound effects.

It may not sound fun at first, but give it a try. I'm here in the Destructoid offices where everyone is quiet and has their heads down in their computer screens and notebooks. But every once in awhile I'll cue up a Hadouken or a "Underworld Theme" and people will sit up and throw out an "awesome!" or an "oh, I love that game!"

There's pages and pages of little icons with play buttons that let you instantly let you hit a feather box or listen rock out to a song. Right now the whole office is rocking out to "Rainbow Road." The Pipe Sound has also been a big hit here.

Pretty awesome, however since you have to keep on clicking on to the next sound effect, it gets tiresome. They should have it where it plays the next sound effect when the first sound effect ends.

Ah, I heard about this. Sadly, the Zelda treasure chest theme is not on there.

This is pretty sweet, but I would rather have a huge soundboard with custom images to let you know what you're playing. "Main theme" isn't descriptive enough.

Is there anyway to download these and put them on my MP3 player? I can't seem to figure it out.

@mrplow8 Yep go here about:cache?device=disk - edit - find "MP3"
for example Guile's Stage Theme Song is http://emedia.entertonement.com/audio/000/025/382/25382.mp3.

When Shipero played 'Big Blue' from F-Zero through PSN chat I nearly pooped myself. This is a great find!

For some reason, I can't go past page 10....

Still a great find. Man, the Super Mario Kart music brings back so many memories.

Type about:cache?device=disk in to browser click edit - find then type "MP3"
for example Guile's Stage Theme Song is http://emedia.entertonement.com/audio/000/025/382/25382.mp3. so you may want to clear cache before hand so you know what the mps are, then use whatever software you use to transfer it to mp3 player or phone.
