Guess the Video Game Music

[Fool's Requiem]

Just in case you were using the theme how it was used in Brawl, I'll just also guess the Kid Icarus Title theme in Super Smash Bros Brawl

Gonna be hard to sneak a song used in Smash Bros past me. Same reason I knew the King Dedede theme, though this was easier.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Dammit I knew I knew it somehow, I just couldn't figure it out ;_;

my dumbass almost said "Fire Emblem" and almost went down that rabbit hole before I remembered that it was Kid Icarus.

I still need to get around to playing the original. Keep debating whether I should shell out for the NES cart or the NES classic which has Kid Icarus on it.

I think one of the most interesting things about this is that you can really pin down what systems and genres folks have played.

Yeah, never played on a NES. Not entirely sure I've ever seen one in the flesh. I've played a SNES on an inflight entertainment system which does technically run on proper hardware (it's called Nintendo Gateway) but I've never played on an actual console. I've played a bit of NES and a lot more SNES on emulators.

As for Sega home consoles, my cousins had a Mega Drive which I know I played Road Rash on, and I have a feeling an old school friend may have had a Saturn? Never owned one of any description though. I'm not sure I've even played an emulated Dreamcast game.

As for portables, I had a Game Gear and Game Boy Colo(u)r. In truth though I've always fairly or not seen portable gaming as inferior to home console or PC gaming and so I've largely used them to play Pokemon. I couldn't get the previous game because I've never played a portable Mario save for the Switch if you count that.

Part of that is age since I was born after the Super Famicon but before the Super Nintendo, but also because I mostly played PC back then and still prefer it.

 

[Rachel]

yep that is the correct answer. What I was trying to figure out was, how many people would know the song from the original OR would at least Smash help out with this song, the familiarity of it.

SMB3 Airship theme

 

[Fool's Requiem]

omg...

 

[Fool's Requiem]

My brain: Contra, Commando, Star Fox, it can't be Mario...

Reality: Super Mario Bros 3

 

[Smacktard]

There's a possibility in wrong

 

[Fool's Requiem]

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I'll just be happy I got Kid Icarus.

 

[Rachel]

Oh noooooo

SMB3 Airship theme

It's not this

 

[Fool's Requiem]

 

[TD]

Oh so what I'm hearing is this is the time that Ben and I should've hyperanalyzed the clip.

Sounds familiar, I'll think on it.

 

[Ben]

[dimmerwit]

I'd laugh at Kelly but it's not like I have the faintest idea of what it is.

I'm guessing it's not Mario since he would have at least got points for that.

IDK, it sounds a bit like Hyrule Field from Zelda: A Link to the Past so why not throw out a silly guess.

 

[Rachel]

it's supposed to be the Overworld Theme from original Legend of Zelda, but like, what dimmerwit said is the same melody and rhythm and stuff, so yeah...it's Zelda y'all

Edit: also this was a close call, Ben and TD were about to fire up the engines again maybe

 

[dimmerwit]

Overworld Theme from original Legend of Zelda

 

[Rachel]

hmm *checks notes* hmm yes

Edit:



Edit again: also I understand how hard this is and yeah, I can see why when there is only so much information to work on, everyone hears what they hear

 

[dimmerwit]

OK scratch that about not knowing, I'm a genius.

Here's a video equivalent of that guess:

 

[Ben]

Eh, honestly last time trying too hard to work this out kind of broke me. I'm resigned to not knowing anything and never getting on the board, but at least I won't go insane (over this.)

I'll rope you in again at some point, don't you worry. Peer pressure works every time.

We already have a shortkut, you need another schtick

I'm only susceptible to pier pressure.
