METROID MARIO [Metal Mashup] (Patreon)

Hey everyone! Here is the FULL VIDEO for my Metal Mashup of the classic Mario Bros 1-1 overworld and the equally as classic, Super Metroid intro theme!

When I did my first metal mashup with Doom Crossing, I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did! It felt so new and exciting to take on arranging video game music in this way. It makes it a bit more challenging but also super rewarding if it works out. So I definitely wanted to do another one of these!

I had this idea randomly when I was walking around my house like, imagining the overworld theme on top of this super metroid intro theme. It has a very similar pacing and feel so the rhythm element of it would lock in perfectly.

Where the challenge was here was DEFINITELY trying to figure out how to make the melody of the SMB over world fit in the minor key of the Super Metroid Intro. It was particularly challenging because the SMB melody isn't just a single melody but actually a harmony that's always going throughout the whole theme.

But that challenge was worth taking on and I spent a ton of time trying out different variations of the melody and landed on this!

I also had a ton of fun with the video as well haha. It's not every day you get to insert Mario into the super Metroid universe so I tried to do the best I could with making it feel real (but also don't deny the silliness of it)

I had a blast with this and I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think if you haven't already!

Thanks so much for your amazing support through these crazy times everyone. I appreciate you!
