Mother 3 + Summer Carnival 92 (PRC387)
Outline
Source 2: Summer Carnival 92 Recca - Jetter (NES)
Source 1:
"Hello,
I have decided on "Magypsy Party" from Mother 3. Fast or slow, we have a saxophone solo, and those characters are probably the biggest reason we don't have Mother 3 outside of JP. Aside from the O2 Tanks. It's a pretty song with a lot of possible variations.
It works at many tempos with or with out the lead.
This could be a good base for the dual source challenge. Please use portamento if possible. "

Source 2:
Hello again! TheVideoGamer here doing another entry.
For this one, i thought i'd go for something more obscure and a little unique. The game is Summer Carnival 92 Recca and the track name is Jetter. Also known as the first half of Stage One.
This is a rare NES game, that has only more recently popped up, thanks to it's inclusion in the Virtual Console for download. Back then it was mainly a Japan only title, purposely made for a convention called Summer Carnival. (A competition for Video Game developers). There is also another game, made for the 1993 Summer Carnival released for the PC Engine, under the title of Nexzr.
The game is a bullet hell shooter, and while not a successful game, it did show a rather amazing amount of speed (And a Sh*t ton of enemies) for system that could barely do 30fps.
The music itself is also underrated. It followed in the 90's techno sound, so yes it's rather...er..repetitive, but i think it's unique in itself. I'm actually impressed with the sample quality to say this is NES, and even more impressed that there is 2-3 sounds playing simultaneously. I mean the repetition is actually good, because you can be a little creative with your mix. Honestly i think it's a little gem, but i suppose not everyone will probably get a knack out of it. I guess it's weather they can do it or what they make of it.

As usual i made a MIDI from scratch. This took me no time, especially considering it's a looping based track. You can access it on VGMusic here."

Mixed both in one source, starting with Mother 3, going to the Summer Carnival source later and ending with a sort of combination. Again I decided to speed the 'slower source' up.

The Jetter source was hard to use but I incorporated it through using its rhythms and the few cords I pulled out of it that are use in the second part of the song. The Mother 3 source is the bulk of the song with it being lengthen to create a slower harmonic rhythm and making the sax solo easier to work with.

I tried incorporating some elements of the second source, which is great pick, but it felt out of tune with the track, and it was already going for too long. So i decided it's to leave it, and do a normal bonus mix) Honestly in this set up, i don't think it's fair i should really participate and do a proper mix, as i already won the last 3 rounds. So yes, i will sit this out, and Bonus mix my track.
Summer Carnival 1992 Recca is actually an extremely impressive game. This was release in 1992 for NES. Sure at that point the NES, was already a sell out (As in it shipped to almost every house) But regardless of time period, this is one visual feat. First of, the system itself barely scrapes 30 FPS (In fact, probably even less) and yet the game still managed 300mph worth of enemies that come charging at you. Really though the most impressive is the music. We have 5 channels used to it's maximum capabilities, with each sound constructed, with actual consideration. There is over 2 sounds playing simultaneously in the PCM, all at extremely decent NES quality, so to say that this isn't technical impressive, would be stupid.
Honestly with all respect, yes this soundtrack is a little repetitive, but that's like all techno. You can be creative with your mixes, and thanks to the second source, it's not hard to combine them (Of course the Sax Solo). I do hope we get a mix of entries, especially those, that combine both sources, because that would be more impressive, and it can show appreciation for both sources.
My bonus mix, is essentially what the soundtrack would sound-like if it was remixed in 1992. It's probably not the most inventive mix, but it's a Bonus, and i really wanted to keep the stylistic choices, as this is for me, what made the soundtrack unique. Again, it's only a bonus, take whatever you can from it.
