Super Mario Bros. 2 (piano improvisation)

[Senkyoka]

I hope you've shown the piano a little love since this video and gotten her a little tune up. The song, piano, and player are far more lovely than this video could contain =)

[meckatz]

my favorite melody to whistle since I played this game the first time ever years...no ...decades ago....such a classic

[fcycles]

wow.. great!! :) I wonder how you can record piano with the right volume!?!

[idleoffury]

Ah... I remember the old days, picking turnips and tossing em at enemies... I think I still have the collection pack for the super Nintendo in my closet.

[GamesDiddley]

my favourite in game music! great stuff!

[felixthecat1231]

O_O can you teach me

[raya2utube]

You are the best! I wish i could play and create songs like you. I started following you for the music of pvz cause they are really excellent, but this arrange you've done is really great!, please whenever you come to Mexico let us know.

[notthere83]

tsk... the description should really say you're sorry you put up with your teachers instead of focusing on videogame music ;P

[MrAllekzander]

This theme still gets stuck in my head every once in a while, and I think you just made it worse! lol.

Great job :)

[supasheww]

Can u put music sheets for this song? :)

[AngelLich]

Yay! I often got distracted by video game music too much to focus on my classical lessons. :D

[rebeccacab40]

do you think i could play this on a tuba?

[triadchixD]

You make it seem so easy =(

[ron619]

whats the name of the song :)

[smelyspartan]

*insert generic comment about how epic this video is*

[Phelipecvf]

YOU ARE JUST FUCKIN' AWESOME

[SuperFFXfan]

I CANT EXPLAIN UR AWSOMENESS

[elvickRULES]

Ah, SMB2... the black sheep. As a kid I always wondered why it was so different, but I did like floating around with Peach.

Was never good at the game though.

[EvanFingerstyle]

"I'm sorry to my piano teachers for having to put up with me procrastinating my classical homework in favor of stuff I heard in video games... "

Haha! That's exactly what I'm doing right now with my classical guitar teacher.. xD

[magicturbo9]

@EvanFingerstyle I found you... Again!!! Creepy chance =S

[CitrineVlogging]

Please make some more world of warcraft videos your so cute :)

[afterburn819]

Awesome piano skills. I admire the fact that you play all types of video games on it especially Plants Vs Zombies. Im actually kind of jealous that you have the toys :D and you're hair is pretty :)

[kuesterjm]

I actually think Mario 2 was one of my favorite games for a long time (until Mario 3 came out). The music was incredible and this really took me back. :) Only thing I remember griping about the game when I was 6 was the fact that the Princess was the best character to play by far. Ha Ha!

[zaigex]

Haha cool!! It has a rock'n'roll feeling to it. Props on figuring out how to play it on ur own. I had to download the midi file and look at it on a piano roll, heheh.

[animafanfall]

This sounds really rag-timey. I could totally imagine this arrangement for a jazz band!

[begothprincess]

I wish i looked like you and could play music like that ^_^ Your dresses are so cute.

[JayCee235]

That is... amazing.

Just amazing.

[fofalooza]

<3 Thank you! That just made my day, week, and maybe even month :D

[corpsechild]

I bet you looked just as cute at 8 years old, too. I'm impressed though, you were that young and you made this??

[MarcoAntonioWK]

I Love you!

[DevarIGN]

You are so amazing! I love everything that you play, you inspire me =D

[ronniegranillo]

210, their an even number. Thank me anytime. No I kid, but it is nice to have an even number of likes, and a large zero for the dislikes yes?

[KingKool2099]

One of my favorites. Nicely done.

[neomarz1]

Wow, it has been a long time since I played this game. It really does bring back some memories. The music has a classical feel to it... Have you ever played "The Entertainer" ? It's an old old song, but it seems that anyone who plays piano has probably heard of it.

[magikarp64]

awesome playing!!!! but i recommend you position the camera so that we can see your hands. please!!!

[h3ptagrama]

love it!

[disccentury]

CLICK ON: disccentury, MY MUSIC, NEVER SEEN

[NotExplosive]

It always amazes me when skilled piano players can just sit down and make music. :D

[thatcalivetusmc]

How do.I go about requesting something but I think you should do BUBBLE BOBBLE! AMAZING-Ness!!!

[CharybdusRage]

Just in time! I'm replaying through all my SNES games and I'm just about to finish the first Mario Bros. on the All Stars cartridge, which means Super Mario Bros. 2 is up next :D

[chrisstevens2]

I love those little waves in the beginning of the videos. :)

[AndrewC437]

Wonderful!! :D *goes and digs out Mario 2*

[kejigoto]

Holy cow I was just whistling this at work yesterday and everyone was looking at me like I was crazy. Another excellent choice!

[Ray0ki]

I love you Shigi *0*

[Furisu212]

Aww, Shigi looks really nice!

[MathGeekQ]

awwwww so many memories, so much nostalgia, so beautiful

it almost brings tears to my eyes ^_^

[Yamtendo]

I love this song! :DD

Such an awesome...version/cover/thingy­. idk what you're supposed to call it. D:

You should do something from Cave Story!

[tovartalero]

yaaaaaaaay

[Nacho1729]

This song is soooooooo playable on piano... I love it ! Is my favorite Mario theme..

Sory for my English.. Im from Argentina :D Saludos señorita Shigi ^^

[JeReMyAhH]

you are going to become youtube partner very soon; you just get 1 or 2 dislike per video (fking dumbasses)

[Ninja87634]

Ever plan on making tutorials?? =)

[jamestakeshi]

Nice as always!!

[ankan2k4]

Yay, SMB2. :]

[gbritaney]

Aweeeesomness buddy!

[FireArmsResQ]

Bravo!

[supershigi]

@andrew927981 Aww, I'm so happy to hear that! I hope you really enjoy piano lessons!

[duplux]

Love it !

[BlueBandanaJake]

I love this song, its one of the happiest Mario themes, great arrangement, thanks for performing it :)

[TheFoxMau]

Wonderful music :) but... The floor mat.. By the stairs... It's always pushed up.. It bugs me so much ;-; I try not to look at it though. Since I can't fix it. I heard that maybe you were doing a collab with a certain violinist?

[KatalinaOno]

@TheFoxMau I'm sorry, but it sincerely bugs me when people complain about stupid little things like that. Laura tries so hard to fulfill requests, respond to comments at multiple places, she even runs a forum! And it's not like she has a lot of free time (full-time job, making a game, does all these side projects to help friends, etc.)... so when I see comments complaining about the most petty and stupid things it really bothers me.

[ericlechounde]

@TheFoxMau yeah, I know your comment is probably half in jest, but seriously. Laura works really hard to do these things, I'm sure she doesn't appreciate petty complaints like that (besides, it's probably Metroid who keeps pushing it up, haha).

[TheFoxMau]

@ericlechounde Lol.. I'm not saying anything to be offensive or whatever it is my comment may be. If Laura wants.. an apology(?) for the floor mat thing, or if it is deemed necessary, I'll apologize, no problem. I enjoy watching her videos and listening to her music, and I am grateful that she does this. It's just like.. a pet peeve. Everyone has one :P

[Ryunam]

You're a very talented musician, in regards to both your original compositions and execution of others' work. This particular improvisation was really nice!

[russiozon]

I woke up the other day with this song randomly in my head =)

[vietleis]

Laura Shigihara: God-tier pianist.

[Kirkpad]

Great stuff. Funny to see that you're actually the PvZ composer... I was just playing it last night on my PS3. My favorite game music is from Katamari Damacy, by far.

[SOLaharl]

Lovely as ever :)

[ferdk16]

I second resident evil's request. The save room themes are beautiful (my favorite being RE3's)

[GilvaSunner]

Do you happen to have Synesthesia? Just wondering..

[endauthority]

resident evil please :)

[ArcaneCH]

...Were you some kind of musical prodigy?

[MrKAPfilms]

wait, this song can actually be playing on a real piano? Well you ma'am have sure proven me wrong.

[arczero]

I immediately clicked on the notification email from youtube that you just uploaded a video and I wasn't disappointed on what I saw and heard! :D

I bet your piano teachers liked this than those classical ones anyway, lol! :P

[mario4ever1000]

waut you used this for classical music on your piano teacher i can see where you're coming with that but ... *thinks* yeah i'll do that too ^^

[supershigi]

@mario4ever1000 I would just put off practicing my real homework (which was usually a classical piece of some sort), due to wanting to play stuff like this... so when I got to my lesson and I wasn't prepared, I'd be like, "well, um, uh... I was playing Nintendo music... I'm sorry!" I do love classical music though, it's very beautiful and I think one of the reasons video game music from the nes days is so cool is because it has a lot of classical influences.

[MissyHannaCho]

Memories! Thank-you Laura, this one really takes me back to when my sister and I would play this game together.

[supershigi]

@MissyHannaCho I played these games with my sisters, too!

[jennychuchu]

You arranged this when you were 8?? I'm sure your piano teachers would forgive you, hehe ^_^

[dyemooch]

I like how when you're done, the look on your face is almost a "yeah, I just kicked your ass with this. No big deal." XD At least that's how I want it to look.

Amazing work, Shigi!

[NyannersByanners]

First Reaction - New piano video~! (￣▽￣)

Second - Ah Memories brought back from my childhood. ヾ(๑╹◡╹๑)ノ

Third - I love it, could listen to it all day long~! ♥ヾ(＞ワ＜)ノ♪
