Earthbound: Kraken of the Sea on Mario Paint Composer

28th video. Thank you once again to Banjario, who recorded this for me!

Nah, this isn't an April Fools' joke. I've finally gotten around to making a Kraken of the Sea rendition! :D
This song plays when you face the Kraken boss in the SNES RPG Earthbound. It's a very unusual tune.
That electronic reverb effect is really tough to nail on Mario Paint! I spent at least two hours trying to get that bass part to sound halfway decent. I tweaked the dynamics on this video quite a bit; hopefully it payed off. I must say, it feels good to take on a behemoth of a song like Kraken of the Sea. :D

Oh yeah, by the way, this video uses adolfobaez's Electronica soundfont, if you couldn't tell.

Be sure to check out JillSandwich93's version, which uses the original soundfont!

Happy April Fools! I hope I kicked this month off on the right foot. Enjoy!

You have no idea who John Freeman is, do you?

He was one day an office.

BTW: If you want more views might I suggest expanding your tags with words like (SNES) (Nintendo) (Sci Fi) (Boss Fights) or something along those lines.

1:12: Sounds like the monster fell down the stairs. *Monster tires to attack but falls down the stairs and misses, Ness instead grabs Mr Baseball Bat with a SMASH hit. SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS­SSSH! 60HP damage to the monster.

1:00  The cymbals go along quite nicely.

This program is what Sid Stereo was for the Commodore 64 for any C64 bluffs that may be reading this except Sid Stereo could do a lot more without any sound set tweaking.

@boredymcbored You said the keywords: Modified sound font: I don't mind Garage Band remakes of songs (Which this does a fine job) but if it's on a Mario Paint I LOVE hearing the original soundfonts the best especially when the user can tweak the range/pitch of notes and getting the most out of a chipset.

That's really the purpose of users making songs on Mario Paint seeing how far they can stretch the original limitations without making it a new program which this basically is.

However this is not bad work at all: It just does not feel like Mario Paint and feels more like something from Garage Band or Fruity Loops.

If the title was suddenly renamed to something like those programs I wouldn't notice the difference at all.
