Seth Skoda has his usual cool sega chiptune remixage skills. I enjoyed his BONUS.

TVG - OK, so the harmonica sample is a bit flimsy but the other sounds are enjoyable and gel nicely. Sounds like new work was put into this too. Especially liked the beat mixup.

Silverpool64 - This is improvement. The brass, xylophones and odd synths aren't a bad touch, not sure I'm liking how it just cuts out.

I would have voted 1st for Silverpool64's mix for the awesome bass alone, but too much of the instrumentation was uncomfortable for me. Too much reverb on some things, and a little EQ to bring down the lower mids (around 450-750Hz ouch).
As for Video Gamer's piece, what he lacked on the bass, he made up for everywhere else in sound design. The drum roll and key change were very nice touches to give it a nice polish overall. Hence it makes my first place vote, but by a small margin.
