Quantcast



Remember all that nonsense I spouted about the anthem of my bloody coup being played on tesla coils? No longer. My limited attention span coupled with my fascination with novel uses of old technology have led me to replace Nikola Tesla's hammer of the Gods with Mario Paint as the supreme instrument. Tipmonster TehUberOne (hereby promoted to Lieutenant Tipmonster) sent us a link to some music from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! rendered in Mario Paint's music engine, and being the curious little bastard that I am, I dug further and found much, much more -- most of which is composed by just one dude, a bloke by the name of TomBobBlender.

Lots of this stuff was uploaded to YouTube months ago, but hey, maybe it's new to some of you. Intrigued? Hit the jump for several more. 

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest -- Bloody Tears

Mega Man 2

Chrono Trigger -- Robo's Theme

Tetris Attack

Super Mario RPG

Final Fantasy II

I never got the sound the id's face made. Like he was getting penetrated by bubba. Anyway, I wish that punch-out theme was my ringtone.

Haha, I sucked horribly at making music.

However, I was pretty good at making Mortal Kombat like fatalities in the animator with all of the Mario characters. Fun time, heh.

you know, I've never played this Chrono Trigger game. However, I have this odd feeling that this "Robo" character is...well...never gonna give me up, never gonna let me down, never gonna run around and, desert me.

What if this was how you learned to write music but it crippled you for the rest of your life when you kept having to translate from F# to Fireflower.

That was absolutely brilliant. Man, that must've taken forever to get perfectly right. I remember trying to do stuff like this long, long ago and it was a disaster.

Kudos this person, one of the coolest things I've seen in awhile.

And just to add - That Bloody Tears mix is amazingly good. There's a bit of a werid spot in the loop, but the guitar part is DEAD ON. I'm so copying this.

Wow, the best I ever managed was a bastardized version of the Imperial March.

That Tetris Attack rendition is almost spot-on.
