Mega Man 6 - Flame Man Stage (Cover)King Meteor Studios2026-09-19 | Mega Man 6 - Flame Man Stage (Cover)Sonic Triple Trouble (16-Bit) - Metal Sonic Battle 2 [Cover]King Meteor Studios2022-11-06 | I'm generally not into fan games, but I played this one, and this song is INCREDIBLE! This is the definitive Metal Sonic theme song, combining elements of BOTH the JP and US versions Stardust Speedway: Bad Future AND "Never Let It Go" from Sonic the Fighters!
Anyway, I went with a "CD" style for this cover, using instruments akin to those of the original Sonic CD and Fighters songs.What If Baby Be Mine Were From Dangerous?King Meteor Studios2022-11-01 | Well, I did another "what if" Michael Jackson remix. One of his underrated gems, "Baby Be Mine" from "Thriller" (1982), remixed in the style of "Dangerous" (1991). I drew inspiration mostly from "Can't Let Her Get Away", as well as a little bit from the title song, "Dangerous", and "Blood On The Dance Floor" (which was written around the time of "Dangerous", but remained unreleased until several years later).
This arrangement was actually pretty easy, since a lot of the arrangements on "Dangerous" were pretty minimalistic. Honestly, the hardest part was getting the right drum sounds.What If Remember The Time Were From Bad?King Meteor Studios2022-10-28 | Michael Jackson's "Remember The Time" from the album "Dangerous" (1991), remixed in the style of the album "Bad" (1987). I took most of my musical cues from "Another Part Of Me", and a few from "Just Good Friends" (both from "Bad")
Anyway, this is more of a rough proof of concept than anything. The mixing is not perfect--I tweaked the volume levels MANY times, but couldn't quite get it to sound just right. There are also quite a few percussive sounds in the acapella that I couldn't remove without greatly reducing the quality of the vocals. The synths I used were also a rough approximation of what was available in the mid-late '80s, as I don't know exactly which synths were used on the album (aside from a few noticeable DX7 patches).
Despite all that, I think this remix turned out pretty goodMario Golf: Advance Tour - Marion Club Course [Toadstool Tour Style]King Meteor Studios2022-10-07 | I recently got my hands on a Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour soundfont, but I decided to make this. I might do some other Mario Golf songs in this style.Golden Sun - The Elemental Stars [Cover]King Meteor Studios2022-09-26 | I started playing Golden Sun again, and I can't believe I totally slept on this amazing song until now! It reminds me quite a bit of Schala's theme from Chrono Trigger, except I think I might like it even better.
I kinda went back to my roots with this video, using MAMplayer for the visualLite N Dreamy (Dreamy.mid) [Rockman & Forte style]King Meteor Studios2022-09-18 | This is a cover of one of the old MIDI songs that came with old versions of Windows.

The piano and voice part was inspired by Windows 2000/ME.Windows Ultimate Custom Startup SoundKing Meteor Studios2022-09-03 | I decided to make my own "classic" Windows startup sound, utilizing elements of Windows 95, 98, and 2000, and even drawing some inspiration from the Sega Dreamcast startup.
If you're using Windows 10 and you want to make this YOUR startup sound, first make sure that the startup sound is enabled (it is not, by default). Open the sound options by right clicking on the speaker icon and clicking on "Sounds". If you don't see that option, you can also get there by opening up the Control Panel (open the Start menu and start typing "Control Panel"), change the view to either "Large Icons" or "Small Icons" (not "Category"), click on "Sound", and then click on the "Sounds" tab. Once you're there, check the box beside "Play Windows Startup sound". (By default, it will play the Windows Vista/7 startup sound.)
Once you've enabled the startup sound, download the file (link below) and place it somewhere it won't be moved or deleted. Then run Startup Sound Changer (link below), click "Replace", and then select this file.

I'm not 100% sure I got all the piano notes right at the start, but it turned out really nice overall.Ultimate Yahtzee (PC) - Main Menu [Cover]King Meteor Studios2022-09-01 | Here's some '80s synthwave for ya
I remember getting this game in a cereal box in the early 2000s, and I played it a ton back in the day!

No, this ranking doesn't include my US Past concepts because (1) they are unofficial and don't appear in the game without fan mods, and (2) they are my own creations and I would be biased toward them.

About half of them are just for the percussion.
Anyway, I've had a rough concept of what I wanted to do for a Bad Future track for quite some time, and I thought Metropolis was a suitable zone for it. I wasn't really sure how I was going to incorporate elements of Metropolis' music into this remix, but it turned out REALLY nice!Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Metropolis [Good Future Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-06-25 | I really leaned into the US style for this one. It's pretty different from any other Good Future track I've done, but I'm quite proud of it.Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Metropolis [Past Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-06-23 | I went with the same kind of style as my US Past remixes for this one. The last section ended up being quite a bit more melancholic than I originally intended, but I'll let you interpret that as you willSonic the Hedgehog 2 - Metropolis [Present Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-06-21 | I think I speak for most Sonic fans when I say...hate the level, love the songMega Man 3 - Snake Man (CPS-2 Style)King Meteor Studios2022-05-09 | Another song that I had envisioned in CPS-2 style all those years ago. I did it a little differently from my original MIDI arrangement, but I'm really happy with the result.Mega Man 2 - Metal Man (CPS-2 Style)King Meteor Studios2022-05-03 | Some of you long-time fans might remember my old MIDI arrangement, where I tried to arrange this song in the style of the arcade game, Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters. Well, I finally obtained the actual sounds from the game, so I could make the arrangement that I wanted to 13 years ago.
Yeah, PrincessZelda2020 made a very similar arrangement to this one, but I had the idea first!Mega Man 5 - Gravity Man (MM7 Style)King Meteor Studios2022-04-26 | I'm REALLY proud of this one!
As always, this is not a true SNES arrangement. I simply used samples from the game.Tekken 3 - Nina Williams [Rockman & Forte Style]King Meteor Studios2022-04-22 | I know pretty much nothing about Tekken (just that it's a fighting game series made by Namco) so don't expect any more Tekken songs from me. I only know this song because I heard it in a video and I seriously dug it.
That being said, the bass line sounds SO freaking good with the R&F slap bass sample! Although this isn't a true SNES style remix, I didn't want to make it wildly unrealistic. The original song had a lot of filter modulation effects, which the SNES was not capable of, so I didn't use any such effects in this remix. Overall, I'm really happy with this remix!F-Zero AX - Tutorial ~ U-Rays [Rockman & Forte Style]King Meteor Studios2022-04-17 | I thought the fusion style of this song would work really well with Rockman & Forte samples. This isn't a perfect transcription of the original song, but I think it turned out pretty good.Rockman & Forte - Astro Man ~ Holographic Anxiety [MM8 Style]King Meteor Studios2022-04-11 | I don't know if I like this better than Astro Man's actual theme in MM8, but it's differentMega Man 6 - Stage Select [MM8 Style]King Meteor Studios2022-04-06 | A nice short one. I thought MM6's stage select theme was musically similar to MM8's, so I made this. Honestly, I think I put more work into the image than this remix.Rockman & Forte - Boss At Kings Castle [MM8 Style]King Meteor Studios2022-04-04 | Another MM8 style remix. Honestly, I made this one because I really don't like the actual final boss music of Mega Man 8Mega Man 10 - Wily Stage 3 ~ No Turning Back [MM8 Style]King Meteor Studios2022-04-02 | Ever since I made first made my MIDI cover of this song, way back in 2010, I thought this song would work really well in the style of Mega Man 8 (which I went for in my original MIDI cover). Well, I finally obtained a Mega Man 8 sample library, so I recreated the song using MM8 samples. This is the first time I've ever made a piece of music working only with a sample library--no soundfonts or VST instruments.Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Carnival Night [Good Future Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-03-29 | This is kind of a straightforward cover of Act 1 Beta. Is it a good "Good Future" remix? I don't know, and I don't really care at this point. I am starting to feel a bit fatigued of making these remixes, so I'll probably take a bit of a break. Rest assured, I am planning to do more someday.Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Carnival Night [Bad Future Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-03-18 | I could have gone the route of creepy clown music, but I wanted more of the US Bad Future sound. I drew quite a bit of inspiration from Wacky Workbench BF, but I made this remix sound quite a bit more ominous. On top of that, I think I did a decent job combining the prototype/PC version with the Genesis version. Overall, I'm really proud of this remix.Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Carnival Night [Past Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-03-12 | Based on Act 2 of the prototype/PC version.
To be honest, while the rest of the original song is great, I don't really like the intro. Originally, I wasn't going to use the intro in this remix, but I found it to be kinda necessary to transition from the end of the song back to the beginning, since the song changes keys in the middle (and has a pretty dissonant ending).Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Carnival Night [Present Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-03-10 | According to Brad Buxer, Michael Jackson didn't want to be credited in Sonic 3 because he wasn't happy with how his music sounded on the Genesis. So I wanted to create a high-quality New Jack Swing rendition of the song, like how MJ's original demo might have been. The hardest part of this remix was getting the right sounds. I'm not sure if the sounds are exactly what I wanted, but it's pretty good.
I also incorporated a little bit of the prototype theme in this remix.Sonic the Hedgehog - Star Light [Good Future Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-02-25 | Mostly based on Stardust Speedway: Good Future (JP), and a little bit on Quartz Quadrant: Good Future (JP)Sonic the Hedgehog - Star Light [Bad Future Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-02-19 | Trance with heavy metal guitars. I think it works!Sonic the Hedgehog - Star Light [Past Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-02-09 | Heavily based on Stardust Speedway: PastSonic the Hedgehog - Star Light [Present Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-02-06 | I tried to make this version a little more upbeat and less serene than the original, in order to differentiate it from the Good Future.Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Marble Garden [Past Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-01-29 | I based this remix quite heavily on Bouncy Glow's concept for Collision Chaos Past US, but it really fit with what I envisioned for Marble Garden's past.
This time I took an extra measure to give it a lo-fi sound. In addition to using Izotope Vinyl, I also exported the audio at a sampling rate of 16000 Hz (much lower than the standard 44100 Hz), which is the sampling rate of the PCM chip used for the actual Sonic CD Past songs.
I actually almost scrapped this remix and started over because I wasn't happy with how it was coming along, but I managed to get it to sound OK.Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Marble Garden [Present Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-01-27 | Mostly a cover of Act 1, but with a little reference to Act 2Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Marble Garden [Good Future Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-01-25 | Had re-upload because the audio came out sounding muddy.Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Marble Garden [Bad Future Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-01-22 | I think this remix is a bit of a hybrid of the JP and US Bad Future styles. I'm quite proud of this one! Easily my favourite Bad Future remix of the new bunch so far!Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Oil Ocean [Good Future Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-01-12 | I saved the my best Oil Ocean remix for last. Yeah, I know, it's really similar to Savaged Regime's Angel Island Good Future. But is that really a bad thing?Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Oil Ocean [Bad Future Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-01-11 | Mania, Act 2?
Honestly, this is easily the Oil Ocean remix that I'm least proud of, though that might be in large part because I went for very much of a JP style Bad Future when I'm much more of a fan of the US Bad Future style. I like the last section with the electric guitar.Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Oil Ocean [Past Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-01-09 | I went for a rather simple and minimalistic arrangement, trying to capture the sense of the zone being a vast desert before all the oil was drilled up.Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Oil Ocean [Present Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-01-08 | I'm quite proud of this one.Sonic & Knuckles - Flying Battery [Good Future Remix]King Meteor Studios2022-01-03 | This was the first of my new CD style remixes. It was largely inspired by the credits theme of Mega Man 5: Complete Works.
I drew inspiration from Metal Gear Solid 2 for this remix (the VR Variety Mission, specifically). The resulting remix is rather strange, especially in that last section, but I think it works.
