Skip Cameron Great theme, and I loved the staggering of the sound layers (i.e. the percussion coming in later); it created a sense of progression that I find I really enjoy in music. Well done!

Tabatha I freaking loved this video. The game was a great play, and you did the theme justice. This reminds me of the time my mother was playing this game, and I accidentally walked into the space where my brother was imitating the characters. I was 2 years old, walking around with a black eye :(

Arne Babenhauserheide It’s great to see how happy and focussed you look again! For the last few videos some of the magic had been weaker, but with this one it returned. And it’s wonderful to hear my children try to sing along with the songs of my youth ☺

Nolan Ryan Hoskins I've been following you for a long while since some of your very first songs and it never fails to amaze me how awesome you are! I've been going to college and listening to your songs just relax me as well as I love putting them place for the actually OST on the game. I hope to become a Patreon soon to support you as much as I can

Diann Pangelinan 4x-cut!? Shoot I only ever got 2x-cut. But I totally beat all the mega bosses except that underwater one...I quit the game for life after spending a week trying to kill it.

Jess Funk I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I thought you should know that upwards of 1,000 views are due to the fact that it is my one-year-old son's absolute favorite, go-to jam. Seriously, we had a Smooth McGroove-themed birthday party for him. Thanks for doing what you do! I was already a VGM nerd, but you make it WAY easier to get my kids in on it, too!

James Hinz It's so weird. I was just thinking to myself "I wonder what Smooth has been up to lately? I hope when he gets back he does something really awesome and retro like Earthbound (because these modern consoles are full of games I haven't played before)" And voila, there it is! Great work. Hope to hear more EB and/or Uematsu stuff sometime.

The Legendary Zoltan The bass parts sound particularly good. This one came out much better than the Super Metroid opening. Perhaps it was just the mixing, but that arrangement sounded kind of sparse in my opinion. Anyway, great job!

The Legendary Zoltan OK. I should have read your post before commenting. Oops. The extra time you took to make it sound spacey and Metroid-ish did indeed make a huge difference. Super Metroid is the only Metroid game I've ever played but I also played the hell out of it. From what I've heard, no Metroid has ever surpassed it. I just wish there was an ultra hard mode because it's too easy after you've played through for an entire childhood. Haha.

Christine Gallagher You know, this is one of the first tunes that come to mind when I think about my first experiences with Pokemon (or with gaming at all, really). Somehow, I never remembered that this was from Cerulean City. This really does sound amazing though.
