Super Mario Kart: Rainbow Road in Mario Paint Composer

[jakrummy]

The beginning was genius.

Just saying.

[Nintencon]

how long did it take you to make that pise of a masterpise?

[TenorOrbi]

YOU, SIR. WIN AN INTERNETZ.

THAT WAS AMAZING. 8D You even got the startup, final lap, AND finish. Kudos!

[PhantomDusclops92]

SMK Rainbow Road is in Mario Kart 7 on 3DS yay!

[Mrcarzylegoguy]

Great Job on The Pig Engine This is Great :D

[eakradio]

Absolutely perfect!!! LOVE IT!

[JimGabeMomo]

...Bowser...?

[Silverstein1883]

so complex and fast!!

[civerned]

This video went up the same day as my birthday, jajajajaja thanks, I really like this music, I consider it a birthday, again, thanks

[PhaseGenesis]

Phenomenal! Long live Super Mario Kart, and the SNES. 8-)

[Banjario]

Simply amazing.

[herty140]

...That's it.

I have GOT to get a SNES again.

[TheCastro82]

@herty140 What about virtual consoles?

[herty140]

@TheCastro82 You mean emulators?

[TheCastro82]

@herty140 No. The Nintendo Wii Allows you to buy Retro Games from consoles that were around the 80's-90's. SNES games cost 800 points ($8.00).

[herty140]

@TheCastro82 Really? That actually sounds like a good idea... Do they by any chance do N64 too?

[TheCastro82]

@herty140 Yup! They're 1000 points ($10.00). Wii points cards are only sold in 2000 point cards and you need to have your wii connected to the internet. I have like 15 virtual consoles including The Ocarina of Time, Megaman II, and Super Mario Bros.

[herty140]

@TheCastro82 Damn, that's worth looking into. Thanks a lot!

[mario7mario3]

@herty140 I'm surprised you didn't know that hertypie

also I'm still loving this and always will

[herty140]

@mario7mario3 I'm sorry I don't use the Wii. :P

[sillykittycookie667]

@TheCastro82 Whaa.....??

you have those games? LUCKY!!!! D:

my wii doesn't get internet so I can't buy my own games... :'(

[browncoatkevin]

GAH!

I was too engrossed in the music and spun out on an electrified Thwomp...

...It says something when this caused me to picture the entire course in my mind. Something -good-. Adding the race opening and closing was a very nice touch as well, not something I was expecting at all, but it worked with the song and enhanced the final product.

[Friedfischer]

The beginning is just... o_O faved

[MetagrossOverlordX]

This deserves WAY more views! 

[SuperDragonMasters]

I like what you did with the countdown. So Hilarious!

[Quirobalista]

Very Good! It's perfect

[MrBretowsky]

OH MY GAAAAAAHD!!! YOU DID IT!! YES!! I'M CUMMING!!

[MrGudtavosky]

yes yes YES!!! I never tried this song because i tought it would be imposible to do, but thats what you do: the impossible with mario paint! im oficially your fan

[cat333pokemon]

Wow, really creative with the intro there! Epic as always. *thumbs up*

[RehdBlob]

Wow. This is just

Insanely good.

[jeffburtonfan]

amazing!

[knoginator]

This is my favorite rainbow road song! I dunno why, maybe it's the strange chords that make it sound like it's out of tune or something... or that when I first saw this track, I was like, WOAH. Either way, spectacular piece :D

[UgliStiK14]

Oh man, you are too good at this. XD Nice fuckin' job, dude!

[Parkjimin950521]

0:06 I thought 'WTF are these pigs?!', then I looked below.

EPIC

[MathcoreShuppet]

This. Is. Awesome!

Liked and Fav'd!!! :D

[mario7mario3]

Holy shit @_@ That intro, the ending, the final lap, the whole MPC...

.... This makes my piece sound like crap now ;-;

[Rusty8984]

I love this version of RR. So underrated. ;~;

[Noxedwin]

Engine rev ftw.

[BlutoCash]

JF that was mind bottling. Definitely fav'd!

[VolcanBrimstone]

O_O

Now I wanna play Soccer...... lol

[khmaster12]

It's funny, this song kind of reminds me of some of the songs from Super Mario Galaxy.

[TheCastro82]

OH MAI GAWD YOU DID THE WHOLE RACE! IULGASIDCHSKJVZ,VKJFSDVLKZJS!!­!

But Seriously, this composition is amazing and very accurate. 9001 stars out of 5.

[Younegai]

O_o

amazing

[StarWarsXM]

That intro was good enough to be the video, and I still would have subscribed.

This really makes me want to get into this composer, I have all the know-how to do everything but the insane speed always makes me mess up the timing.

[Smario32]

@StarWarsXM It doesn't always have to be fast. Fast just makes it easier to be absolutely crazy.

[StarWarsXM]

@Smario32 That really only applies to OCs, when have you ever seen a slow cover that sounded good?

That's the other problem I have with this software, it seems like it's more focused on covers than OCs, and I actually love hearing original works. Plus, I can never stick to a song long enough to cover it.

[Smario32]

@StarWarsXM I have heard slow ones, actually, and they can sound pretty damn good. You just need to find the right song.

The disparity between covers and OCs is mostly because covers are easier: sheet music is easy to find or doing it by ear is possible. OCs require an amount of work and creativity that a lot of composers either don't have (like myself) or don't want to do.

Doing a composition can be pretty quick, actually; I've finished some in a matter of hours.

[kacelano]

@StarWarsXM to point you in the right direction, namisphinx is a wonderful solely low tempo composer. rusty, balloon, and christerious all have some great songs. A lot of people will randomly make a one or two. They are all actually very good and can produce a bunch of different effects that are only done at lower tempos most times

[StarWarsXM]

@kacelano Wow, I love the response I've gotten from my mostly negative comment. The community that surrounds Mario Paint must be great, I wonder where everything is organized?

In any case, I don't think I could really get into this (I still have the composer sitting on my desktop to this day). If I were restricted to covers, I don't see much point, because I like composing original stuff.

[JohnFreeman1337]

@StarWarsXM there's a forum at mariopaintcomposer (dot) proboards (dot) com, that's where much of the discussion and resources relating to mario paint are concentrated. It's a great place to go if you're interested in composing!

Mario Paint's not restricted to covers either, many of the songs created in the program nowadays are original compositions. If you've got a creative streak, mario paint's a great tool to hammer out a composition. Lots of fun, too :)

[Rusty8984]

@StarWarsXM Lots of people make Original Compositions. In fact, the Original Composition Contest for MPC is the most successful held contest for MPC out there. :) You can also make nice sounding stuff in lower tempos as well, so dickspeed isn't needed to have a successful song.

[MrBretowsky]

@StarWarsXM Just search "Mario Paint Original Composition". You'll see there is a lot of these. And all awesome music.

[StarWarsXM]

@MrBretowsky I've seen a lot of them, and trust me, I've been impressed, especially by the one's that use the original soundfont (I.E. Jubilant Harmonies).

[Necromanticman]

This is perfection

[kitchenmaniac111]

you are awesome

[Mrx2848]

This is so perfect I almost want to criticize it for not sounding enough like a Mario Paint composition.

[KeysofIDproductions]

D00d, you were rockin' that tune like a boss :D, love it.

[StarmanSuper00]

fucking hell, the sound effects and everything too. this is so perfect.

[StarmanSuper00]

Flawless.

[pholtos]

Ah definitely my favorite rainbow road.

[RevolutionMPC]

Amazing doesn't describe how that is perfect! It's cool how the pigs make the sound of the kart; final lap was so surprising that I literally thought I was playing ... And the most incredible of all is that you did by ear. I'm speechless... : 0

[CaptainFawfulll]

You just can't disappoint.

Or not blow me away.

[balloon303]

I like that remix this video button

[AwesomeFaceSniper]

Loved the intro ;)

oh and the song was good too :P
