Once again recorded by the master of awesome, Levus28.

I started this video before I even was thinking about the 5k milestone video, and only out of boredom. It was only about the first few txt files long, had no bass or percussion, and was finished in less than an hour.
But it was so damn fun to make.
So I ended up finishing it while I worked the kinks out of my collab idea. This is the kind of thing I am looking for in the responses. Please note not only the original soundfont and low tempo, but the fact that I didn't worry about complete accuracy. My goal was to make it sound nice and recogniseable, not an OST clone with MPC instruments. Thus, the guitar is largely improvised, the dynamics are simple, and the bass sound isn't as legato as it should be.
I always wanted to do this song, but under the mentality that I should do it justice, I just cringed at the thought of the tedious work involved in the dickspeed I would have to use to get the dynamics right, not to mention a soundfont that I would probably have to custom-tailor to sound right. However, under the mentality that I wanted to enjoy making a remix of a song I like that sounds nice, this was very enjoyable.
I hope you can experience the same with your entry. Please make it a response to the same video this is responding to, but not this one.
And about the song itself...
I guess I should mention that in the first half of the song, I used sheet music with guitar tabs. I never worked with guitar tabs before, and I didn't know how when I started, so I probably did something wrong, but making it sound good was my goal, and at least I think I achieved it. Any file that begins with "O Son do Ar" I did completely by ear. I did not do the last part of the song because I don't like it as much as the first. It's a bit too repetitive and I imagine it wouldn't have worked as well as the first 2 parts under the limitations. The Yoshi in the beginning is slightly gimmicky, but I also wanted to somehow emulate the wolf howl in the beginning of the actual song.
Oh and if you haven't played Braid yet, do so. I wouldn't universally recommend any other game in the world above it.
Thanks for watching!
