I guess you could say this is the second in a series of Super Mario boss Medleys I'll be doing. A great fun upload to fill the empty space, plus I'm renovating my channel just a little bit. I've got four different "musical styles" that I'll be using for a lot of these tracks. This is one of them.
Got some good stuff coming, in addition to a track from Forgotten Land... which also counts as good stuff.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD JAMESON'S EDITS ARE IN THIS.

I am so glad to have this done and to be back. It was just a messy process, and as per usual it just ended up turning into a monster project that I spent way, way, longer on than I anticipated. I have been working on other projects in the meantime, so I TRULY do hope to start uploading again more frequently in the coming weeks. Thank you so much for reading by the way.
As a side-note, I plan to release the Kirby’s Adventure medley audio to you on Soundcloud on Kirby’s anniversary, but the video itself is going to need a lot of extra time to cook. I also have Mario/Deltarune remixes already finished, just have to do all the assets for the video. I also mentioned in this video that it’d be a while before we tackle Forgotten Land, but I think with the Morpho Medley delays, it might be a good opportunity to do one of the smaller themes of the game in the meantime.
Again, I completely understand the weirdness of the lack of videos for such a long time and uploading three hours worth of podcasty rambles, but my deepest appreciation for everyone subscribed, and I know these podcasty videos are not what the channel is really about, but I definitely do hope you can find some enjoyment from it.
Another quick side-note, whenever I play audio or segments from tracks in this video, the audio quality is a little bit tinny in comparison to the original format. If you're curious about the music, definitely refer back to the original upload.

I’m such, SUCH a big fan of Jameson’s edits on this video. I’m literally floored by the quality of some of his recent work. Any of us who have the opportunity to work with him and have him provide for our videos, we’re very lucky.
Please subscribe to him - youtube.com/channel/UCdctdGGZxI2JR0KJeiFvrCA
Big track, lots and lots of fun. There is a track in Madoka here (Oktavia von Seckendorff’s theme) that sounds VERY VERY familiar. I’m sure some of my subscribers will be surprised who "recognize" it.
More to come and thanks so much for watching.
I’m so incredibly happy to have this track done. I don’t think it’s any secret that it also got majorly delayed, like a lot of recent tracks.
From now on, I’ll try release the audio for the public ear in the meantime if the initial video gets delayed. I obviously thank you guys so much for continuing to watch, comment and like despite a lot of these delays. My recent job clocked in about 50-60 hours of the week. I ended up leaving, so I should be able to dedicate more time to music, thank god. With that said, the delays absolutely gave me the opportunity to fine-tune this upload into the creation that I wanted. I really hope you all deeply enjoy this.
Glitch did an absolutely spectacular job on the artwork here. Just floored. It’s ridiculous how much he has improved over the course of the time that I’ve known him. With his help, this easily rivals some of my most proud videos on the channel.

So much gratitude for this community, for some of the folks who have less air-time, like Glitch, Jameson, Parapsyche, and all my online friends. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my musical passion.
The “Morpho Medley” is a series of 2021 remix medleys deriving inspiration from several characters in the Kirby franchise. (Primarily centered around boss themes) These tracks are loosely based on the medleys that play during the fight with Morpho Knight in Star Allies. Star Abraham is responsible for the primary artwork in this series, and Jameson Mozelle is behind the gameplay edits featured in the background. When played in chronological order, these tracks will lead into each other and thematically share characteristics. At the end of this series, I will release a video with the entire medley.

Hey you all. Deltarune Ch2 is amazing, absolutely amazing. I can think of several more tracks that I want to do, but we'll have some diversions until then.
I recorded all the footage for this track, did the gameplay edits, and Star offered to do the artwork. He REALLY did an amazing job; please support him! - redbubble.com/people/star-abraham/shop
Wow, short description this time. Thanks for watching.
Major, major thanks to everyone who has so patiently waited for this track to drop. (And even if you were feeling less patient, still... thanks a lot and no shade at all. :P)
It's important to note that the "Memories RX" section references TNH's Magolor, I've received permission from him to reference his work. Very gracious!

(The descriptors below were written by Parapsyche. Thanks a lot!)
Majora Storm makes her striking debut! The unanimously accepted hero of the solar system of Altercarria, Majora patrols it aboard the Dynasty and stands tall as one of the most powerful figures in the galaxy. She is benevolent and proud, if a bit rough around the edges, willing to do anything and everything it takes to protect Altercarria and vanquish those who would harm it or challenge her morals with her lightning-fast capabilities and electrified, cybernetic trident. Despite her confident, flashy behavior and loving the attention she receives, she suffers scars of a troubled past and has worked hard to get to where she is, not taking any of it for granted. Fearing what might happen if she were to ever fail her people, she fights ever harder to uphold her reputation and be the savior Altercarria believes her to be. She appears as Lily's rival and serves as a major influence in her journey of self-discovery.

Another anime remix! Suggested by James, the producer of the AMV for today’s video, and he's a huge fan of My Hero. (I've gotten my feet wet with the series a bit, but it'd probably serve me to watch some more) Majorly fun. Hope you all enjoy.
Please give some major support to Jameson Mozelle. He’s basically the backbone of the anime remixes so far, and responsible for the AMVs. Both this track and the Kill La Kill track were his idea.- youtube.com/channel/UCdctdGGZxI2JR0KJeiFvrCA

I can't even begin to tell you how much of a journey this track was. The original WIP was made back in early 2020, along with Star's intro. I finished the track recently, and completed most of the video, but my entire hard drive with all my morpho files got corrupted. I was able to salvage the morpho medley files, but lost all my progress on this video, so basically I had to redo the the whole thing (aside from including the pre-made assets from Star and James)
Star opted to make some new pieces for the video, and that inspired a longer track. Ultimately I cannot express how excited I am to share this with you and I think it is without a doubt one of the best medleys on my channel. I'm just sorry obviously that it took so damn long to finally reach you.

This one turned into a much bigger project than I thought. I’m a huge fan of Spider Dance and now Mad Mew Mew by extension. I’ll do some more Undertale tracks in the near future. Again, I am genuinely really sorry that I’ve had troubles with the deadlines. Some of you might be like "ITS SUNDAY!" But this one is a Sunday LATE. I've been moving into a new place and had all kinds of set-backs, couldn't even get the wifi up and running till yesterday.
Also a thanks to Noole for some track suggestions on this. He proposed the trailer motif and the Switch "click" sound.
Please support Glitch. His artwork on this one is probably some of my favorite.

Mild epilepsy warning here. Forgot to add it to the intro. Major thanks to Noole for all the help on this one. It was originally a suggestion from Star Abraham, but Noole's pixel art inspired me to make it almost exclusively 16-bit. I only used Link to the Past samples, but I played with them a little bit to create a high quality sound. Mega fun. I was out of town for a week, so I had to push the deadline back for this one. Thanks for being so patient, everyone.
Thanks to the Sad Bois for the footage. Very small let's play channel, definitely help them out! - youtube.com/channel/UCJvV-jebOPwiEO5r_3b1Bkg

Gonna ask Noole if I can link something and add here.
This track was given an original title due to the incorporation of another certain boss theme... Turning it into another mini-medley!

This one was WAY HARDER than the first episode. I'm tired, it's 2AM and I'm going to work tom- I mean today. Just want to say, HUGE HUGE thanks to Star Abraham for the absolutely breathtaking artwork here, and my utmost gratitude to Jameson as well, seriously dude.

MAJOR thanks to Glitch and Mun Man for massive contributions. I'm soooo tired. I've been trying to get this thing uploaded since the morning of yesterday. I've had one and a half hours of sleep so I don't know that I have the capacity to write a description.
Just for clarification, In addition to his battle sprites, Mun Man also did the Butterfree piece in the intro and the last memey Ditto-Porygon in the outro.
Anyway, thanks to all of you for your patience. It might be hard to believe but I genuinely do feel pretty bad when I can’t meet my own deadlines, especially since I want to make a living out of this at some point. Best to all of you.

How are all of you? This remix was my idea. A little backstory for those of you unaware. Megalo Strike back, from what I gather, wasn’t directly connected to the Undertale series in any official circumstances. It was a track made by the creator of Undertale, Toby fox, and uses a lot of the same sound samples as other Undertale tracks. I believe it was originally made for a fan-made earthbound album of original tracks.
People started to associate the track with the character Chara. I believe this is due to the amazing fan animation depicting the fight between Chara and Asriel that appeared on YouTube.
Glitch did the artwork of Chara for this upload. REALLY tremendous stuff. Let’s give him a round of applause. Here’s a link to his Twitter account. - twitter.com/egamerglitch

Major thanks to Noole for helping with footage ideas, sending me the link to the fan-game and also providing some samples from Undertale that I used in this remix.

I cannot tell you how grateful I am to Star Abraham for producing the art pieces for this video. The track today was my idea and he helped us end 2020 with a bang. Additionally something I forgot to mention in the video is that the Bumper Crop Bump remix was his idea. Worked out spectacularly well.
I hope you guys liked this year’s content and I hope you all had a fantastic holiday. I’ve been away from the comments for a couple weeks so if I missed you it’s nothing you said! It’s just I’m off doing other things. Anyway, thanks to all of you.
Soon I’m going to make an update video on what you can expect from 2021 on this channel. I have big, big, plans for Kirby content. Also... Maybe I'll respond to some of your comments in the video personally. Keep an eye out!

TRACK INFO -
This was entirely my idea and It’s completely off-the-wall. So let me break it down a little bit.
Dream Theater is a prog Metal band and has a track called Panic Attack that bears a striking resemblance to Ridley’s theme, specifically in certain bars. (The track as a whole is more distinct)
When remixing, I found that not only are the melodies the same, but the fucking chord changes are the same for certain parts as well, like in 2:06.
On top of all that, the theme of “fear” in the Panic Attack lyrics work really well thematically with the Metroid universe.
At the end of the day, there are a lot of musical ideas I have that are totally out of left field but I indulged myself this time. I REALLY hope you guys like it, even if you’re not fans of Dream Theater, I hope you can appreciate how much it musically fits in like a puzzle piece. They’re my favorite band, by the way.
-Panic Attack by Dream Theater - youtube.com/watch?v=cs8rkoouPSU
Somewhat important to mention also is the fact that this version is getting a copyright claim, which is fine as long as it doesn't effect my channel status or visibility. However, if I end up getting monetized, I may have to take this version down and only get the instrumental version. This was a little bit of a Gamble because the vocal track is pulled from Dream Theater's track. If you guys can offer me some guidance on if there are other options or loopholes so I'm not stepping on any toes, definitely let me know.
A round of applause to Glitch who produced an entire set of artwork for this video basically overnight. I also had Jameson's help with this one and he saved me about eight hours of sleep. Thanks so hard James. He primarily did the edits with 3D Kirby graphics and I filled in the rest. TNH was also gracious enough to give me permission to reference his shit. Alas, I hope you caught it if you're a fan of his.
I have a lot of credits here so bear with me.

This was a fantastic suggestion, and so far I consider it to be my best non-Kirby remix.
This track was inadvertently suggested by a friend on Discord.
Absolutely fantastic game. One of the more obscure Mega Man tracks, I’ll definitely be doing more from this in the future.

Major, major, major props to Jameson, Glitch, and Noole. Star Abraham the most frequent provider Kirby artwork for my channel, but the simple fact that I can just ask my community of online friends for help and they immediately provide is just fucking incredible. Seriously. You guys are all amazing. On top of that, Jameson made the thumbnail as well. I’m in so incredibly lucky to have people who are willing to do that for me.
I'm aware that "Phantom of the Moon's Spirit" is missing, that track will be covered in the upcoming Morpho Medley.
This was a really fun track, and is now forever another archived part of this Sectonia Chronicles. I mean, how many goddamn Sectonia remixes are there gonna be on my channel before this is over? I don’t know, I don’t care. It’s always one of my favorite tracks. Anyway, I hope you really love this. I tried to create a very modern rock band production sound to the percussion here, and a circular track progression. The result I think has the emotional power that I was aiming for.

Hey hey hey! Nui Harime here. This is just peachy. I never got a special remix of my own. “No anime remixes on this channel." A cruel joke, but not for long.
Simply put, I took this channel over and made a few changes to get what I deserved. And so here I am. Don’t disappoint me! :)

Oh. And he made the basis image for the thumbnail, good job!
Have a good Sunday evening, everyone!

Long awaited remix. I thank every one of you for your patience and understanding. It’s hard to juggle a hobby and a full-time job. Hopefully those will be one and the same at some point. I also totally forgot to add downloads to the last video, I will get to that soon.
When I have the help of people like Star and Jameson, it’s really not that difficult to put together a video like this. I’m eternally grateful. And Star's artwork needs no introduction. As always, amazing work. I did my best to make it look smooth in motion with the assets he gave me.
Fun track. REALLY fun. I don’t know how these things end up being 5+ minutes but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I added a lot of Easter eggs to the text in the teaser for this track. One thing I eluded to is the fact that it’s hard to remix a track that just sounds like a bunch of noise. But Kirby Clash proved it possible, so why not? I did include some more melodic bits here as well. Hope you love it.
I haven't checked out the comments in a while but I will catch myself up in a few days. Let me know if there are any issues with the downloads.
Man I got really close to missing the deadline on this upload, but it's still Sunday on the east coast over here. Hope you guys are well.
I REALLY wasn’t planning on this being another relatively large project, but it was. This came about because someone suggested something of a Bowser SMB3+64 Medley. I decided to just do the more obvious thing and make it just a proper game-centric medley. You can definitely expect more of these from the Mario series in this same style.
Both the Bowser theme and the boss battle theme in SMB3 appear in several games. I took inspiration from a lot of different versions here. Can you pick out all the motifs? I have…
3 different versions of the boss theme that I pulled from
3 different versions of the bowser theme
1 reference to a 3D Mario boss theme (This one is sneaky)
And 2 stage theme references from SMB3.
See if you can find them all.
Man the boss theme from SMB3 is an all time classic. Such a groove. It’s a shame that the original loop is like fifteen seconds long or some shit.

Full disclosure, I actually haven’t ever played this game before. This was a track that was recommended to me on my channel and I wanted to branch out. The original track really touched my heart and this is a style that I have never really done before on my channel. A couple of folks reached out to me with some context on the boss/theme and I pieced together some other stuff for the video by just watching gameplay. I worked very hard on this one and I had a lot, lot, lot of fun with it. I can’t believe it ended up being eight minutes long. I hope you all enjoy it, and thanks for listening.

Major, major gratitude to Jameson Mozelle for putting together these incredibly kick-ass edits during the entirety of this video. He did it on his PHONE no less. I can’t tell you how monotonous those are for me. Sometimes I seriously think it’s the most difficult part of the entire process. Definitely show him some love on his channel. He's got it FILLED with likewise edits to Kirby remixes and official music from the series. youtube.com/channel/UCdctdGGZxI2JR0KJeiFvrCA
Aside from the text and some minor things, he also made the thumbnail for this video! Great job, man!

The toughest part about making this cover is trying to find the right concoction of different Nightmare versions in order to make a cool remix without turning it into an ordeal or medley. Mainly this one is comprised of the original Nightmare track, the second Nightmare battle theme from Super Kirby Clash, and the Nightmare remix that appears in Canvas Curse. That version kicks ass. I also do my own thing at the end there. Recognize it?
Fun track. Definitely got really involved considering the original is so short. It’s a classic though. Jameson‘s edits add a very dynamic feel to this track. It’s kind of hard to make everyone happy especially considering the diverse assortment of Nightmare themes in the series. (There are… SIX that I considered pulling for the basis of this remix) So for that, I apologize if you didn’t get the mix of the version that you’re most familiar with. All and all, I’m happy with the track and I hope you enjoyed it as well.

Huge thanks to Meteorz for giving me permission to use his footage across my uploads. That makes it waaay easier on me. Check out his channel, he has some really cool Kirby uploads, and even goes in-depth on the lore. -youtube.com/user/xXMeteorXx
Relatively short track this time, and meant as a late birthday present to our pal Jameson. Based on the Super Kirby Clash arrangement for Switch. More to come you guys. Let’s do another Kirby track next time. Every other Sunday video game covers!

This track was my pick! Really special song, very near and dear to my heart. Also REALLY HARD! One of the toughest tracks I’ve put together in a while. I think that’s simply because I’m trying to do proper service to the vocals. It can be intimidating when you’re working with largely synthetic instruments to try to create a track that doesn’t sound “cheap” coupled with an authentic singing voice. The percussion here in particular took a while to put together, and just to add the human element, I dubbed my own guitar playing pretty deep into the background. (I’m a beginner, so I didn’t want it to take the auditory spotlight here) Between you and me, I did the vast majority of this video the night before last night… from like 11 pm to 5 am. Really really REALLY wanted to have this out on Sunday like my schedule plans for, but Final Cut Pro has developed a glitch where it sometimes create green squares on certain frames of the screen, like for no reason. It’s really, really annoying. But that gave me a chance to clean up a few other things.
It’s really nice when you’re having a shitty day and you look on YouTube to find out that folks are understanding of your situation.
First time doing a vocal track for the channel and I wanted to make a good first impression. Crush40 and All Ends FTW. This one goes out to anyone who’s struggling to make a tough decision in their life.
Thanks for dropping in. Next up, more Kirby! Something more in-line with my usual content.

It's Sunday, folks. Every other Sunday uploads. Tackling some more territory. A while ago I did a Cave Story remix, so maybe a couple of you have stuck around since then for another one. We're doing a Sonic remix next time, and then we'll go back to Kirby. Tell me about some of your personal experience(s) with Cave Story if you'd like to share, and thanks for dropping in you guys.

Thanks to Jameson for the edited Dark Matter and Dark Castle images for the thumbnails. Looks like Void Soul... I dig it.
Major thanks to Meteorz for letting me know that I can utilize his gameplay footage in my uploads. Check out his badass channel -youtube.com/user/xXMeteorXx
Good morning!
The meshing of Dark Castle and Dark Matter might seem to lack continuity... Sometimes it can be hard to find tracks that I haven’t done and likewise tracks to combine into a proper medley. I’ve tried to keep my track references more local to the game(s) that the track is based on, and I’ve gotten some very valid criticisms regarding the overuse of random motifs in order to fill empty space in the cover. I was super lucky that both these tracks were present in Robobot and DL2, so it kind of makes sense. For the time being, I consider this track to be one of the best compositions on my channel. Simplistic tracks are essentially a template for improvisation, so it was fun. 5:12 is actually a callback to the old Dark Matter SNES remix I did. You know, I tend to get self referential, and it feels a little bit narcissistic sometimes... But I suppose it makes sense... SINCE MY USER NAME......
*drum roll*.... IS LIGHT *META*S!!!!!
(Crickets)
Dark Matter is one of the most pervasive characters in the series. Sadly, the final boss of Dreamland 2 is not often on any top 10s, and people don’t refer to the theme(s) often when recounting their favorite memories from the series. (Both themes in KDL2 are very short and somewhat repetitive, though they have groovy bass-lines) More often than not, Dark Matter is overshadowed by characters like Marx, 02, and even Nightmare. The truth is, in his raw form, Dark Matter shows up in some badass boss battles, and I consider the Dreamland 2 incarnation to be one of the most difficult non-arena challenges in the series. (though it may be short-lived) I just found out yesterday that Kirby gets fried by the atmosphere if you wait too long during the fight. What the hell is that.
Basically, Dark Matter deserves some love. He’s everywhere. He's a nice guy. Right? So, this upload doubles as a tribute to the character itself and the longevity of its influence on one of the greatest video game series’ ever made. Don’t fuck with Dark Matter.
Let me know if I post any links that stop working, or if I forget to enable public downloads. Also, requests are absolutely welcome 100%, but keep in mind that I only really do one track every two weeks, so I can get picky. Always appreciated, though.

Look familiar?
This was an extremely special opportunity offered up by Star Abraham. The next video(s) will likely have less elaborate visuals, but this certainly may be a style that we return to in the future.

The end of this video features a teaser for a fan game in the works currently titled “Project Ice Cream.” Currently Star Abraham is the artist and largely responsible for the direction of the game. I am one of the musicians, and Wynaut is the lead programmer. He’s is looking for a secondary programmer who is proficient in Game Maker 2. Join the Discord and let us know if you meet the requirements! - discord.gg/BjBdSgx
If you have any other talents you can provide to us, that’s also incredibly appreciated. Note that this project is still very much in its early stages.
Make some requests. All games are candidates for remixes, but Kirby is the connecting thread for all of us here. It might be more likely for me to get your request done if its from this series, but don’t keep other ideas from me.
I did the editing for the video but I should also say that Star Abraham provided a huge portion of the edited animations for Drummer Dee’s movements. That was very helpful.
As you may be able to gather, editing uploads like this can be really time consuming. I have a little bit of a complex about these videos. I’m kind of a lazy guy in certain areas of my life, but I have an extremely particular way that I want these videos to look and sound. When I get amazing resources like the artwork from Star, I start getting a vision. Then that vision changes. “Oh what about that! We should do that! And this! Oh man!” We gotta jam it all in the same video.
I think this complex is… good(?) but I’m still seriously trying to get ahold on what constitutes a healthy amount of work. I got a little carried away. Basically, like I said, this is sort of a special occasion. I’d love to do more videos like this later on, and I have an extreme amount of gratitude to Star for the art and just generally being a cool dude. I think we had a lot of fun going back and forth.
Uploads every other Sunday. It might be important for my viewers to know that I live on the east coast, so my timezone might be different.
Hang in there.

Thank you to everyone who’s been sticking around wondering what the hell happened to the channel. For newcomers, I largely do Kirby arrangements. I understand that it may be frustrating to hear all the mixed messages about upcoming content. Right now I’m making a shift. A long time ago I mentioned this - I plan on tackling more Kirby tracks (individual 3-5 minute uploads) as well as the Morpho Medley. The big change is mainly that I’ll be doing tracks from various games now. No more boundaries, and I’ll be uploading *every other Sunday* from now on.
Regarding the wave 3 Kirby medley from forever ago, I’ve left the ball in TNH’s court. If he wants to proceed with it, I’m always open and working with him has always been one of my favorite things, but personally I don’t want to move forward with anything without his blessing. We have made a Magolor Phase 1 & 2 Collab together recently for his channel and both had a wonderful time - youtube.com/watch?v=wWyZfLAYaCw
At the same token, I understand if he has any lasting reservations, especially with large-scale projects.
I truly apologize for the sporadic nature of my channel. I have an incentive to be more consistent with my uploads because I want to make the turn towards a full-time music career. I’ve graduated college recently and the time has pretty much come to make my move. I think that might be a little more possible if I’m uploading more frequently.
A special thanks and shout-out to the person who requested this track…. Two years ago.
Thanks to Star Abraham for the motif idea at the end.
A major thanks to DeltaShinyZeta for the footage and the super prompt response. Check out his channel for the Pokemon Diamond Longplay footage used here. I would've pushed this video to next week had it not been for his help - youtube.com/user/ShinySparky14?fbclid=IwAR1JM9VWOAE3VFYqMc-IP7F9Oj-azO95xh3vv4_YMfRUbR1iuxzBUVqfFlA

Discord invite - discord.gg/UYEGtzk or discord.gg/fhWrh4q
(Let me know if this link isn't working)
INFO on these tracks - There's a lot of originality mixed in there, with a Kirby touch. If you sit down and listen to the whole of tracks like "Meteor Cluster," "Showdown on Egg Garden" "Decisive Battleship," & "Stories From Distant Past," I think you'll find some more extensive references to the Kirby series. On another note, my girlfriend has informed me that the first track in this video sounds like 80's workout music. Not exactly what I was going for.
I really hope you all enjoy what's there in terms of the OST. I spent a lot of time on each track and have a lot of passion regarding how a Kirby game should be portrayed.
Definitely give the game a try if you have a PC as well, it's totally free. I'll be back again, folks.

Something important to my viewers, I need to communicate this to you. The editing and production for this video, (as well as my last two music compilations to a lesser extent) has been extremely draining. I lost a lot of sleep, and I often felt like I was letting down my friends/audience, which affected some of my real-life shenanigans. I'd also think it was hard for TNH and Star when I had essentially most of the creative control over the final video, especially after all the work they had provided. All I can say is, I have a nasty habit of putting too much pressure on myself. I finally met my match with this upload.
Oh right, and I'm in school now. Thank gravy I got this done before summer's end.
I want to continue providing to the people in the community, and I want to keep making music for YouTube. I want to do crazy editing and cool stuff... But most of all I want to have fun. I understand that the large uploads are a bit of a draw to my channel, but after this video, I don't think Star, TNH, or myself have anything to prove as far as work ethic goes. I'd like to do single track uploads for a while, with essentially the same attention that each track received in this video. I truly deeply hope you understand and I hope to keep your attention in the future. Feel free to contact me at collabsrequests@gmail.com and we can discuss requests, which can essentially be from any game franchise. I still plan on focusing a lot of attention on the Kirby themes that I love.
Also, remember that this channel isn't monetized at the moment, so we're not getting paid for the views here.
I know it's not perfect. Of course not. But if you could measure the amount of love and care that the three of us bled into this project, I think you'd see that we've done everything we could. This upload took almost half a year to complete.
I hope all of your can face your demons and conquer whatever battle you're up against. God only knows how many of us are struggling right now.
Love you guys. :P

I'm so fucking tired. It's 3:17 AM (When I wrote this) and I have to go work in like three hours. I love making stuff for you guys. I need a moment. Let me just thank some people.
Thank you Star Abraham for your amazing artwork that took me 342,462 years to finally use in this video. You are a great friend and a rad member of the Kirby community. We need you, man.
Thank you to TNH for your insane fucking patience. To everyone out there, he's like the only one of us that actually got his shit done on time. Star Abraham and I are floored by that guy's speed and he deserves the best.
I also apologize to Avanelle for the absence of your work. I became very involved with the content here and didn't feel any other inclusions were necessary. I do hope you are well.
Thanks to everybody who can sit through and enjoy this video even in great anticipation for the Star Allies medley... which is coming. The audio portion is extremely close to completion, but Star and I have some big plans for the visuals. Stick around, you guys.
I'm gonna get like two hours of sleep now. See you all later. You guys really are the best.

For some stupid reason, I’ve made it a point for each upload to break some kind of new ground for the channel. I’m not sure if this kind of thinking is even remotely healthy, because I start to fear that I’ll eventually reach a point where I can’t move forward anymore. That hasn’t been a problem yet, because I’ve been granted amazing opportunities with each new video. Please understand, these opportunities are not my own doing. Mind in a PROGRAM served as a vessel to introduce many people to my channel. Star Abraham then offered to create personalized artwork for the next upload, (And many after) which was spectacular. Then TNH got mixed into the equation, and the Star Dream Medley was born. (Seriously, I felt intimidated to fill those shoes since TNH wrecked the scene with that phase 5 midi)
So, I eventually tried to do the same with this upload… Let’s reach some new heights!... Right? Well, much of the time I spent working on any given track, I wanted to tell myself that I could get a little leeway. “The video is pushing an hour in length; it’ll be alright if I just phone it in for a few minutes.” The same thought occurred to me with the video editing. “The viewers will understand… I don’t have to incorporate all this crap. It’s just too much!” But come on, really. If I may say so, there’s someone out there who just won’t let you settle for less. You’ll always end up going to the place you said you'd never be. That goes for everyone.
My intention was to name this album “Sketched!” because it was themed after the artist characters from the Kirby series. (Where the devil is Claycia?) I was thinking about the sheer freedom for improvisations, (with the video and the audio) and then the spectacular artwork from Star Abraham… Nah, I think the name “Sketched!” now refers to the blank canvas I was given with the opportunity of this album. I’m disgustingly blessed.
Speaking of names, I’ll let you guys interpret where the track titles come from. That’s far more interesting and meaningful… but is it also a cop-out?
There's one more track I have planned to do soon, but it probably won't end up on my YouTube page. (Perhaps someone else's?) We shall see.
After that... I'm thinking of stepping into the realm of some other games again... What do you guys think? Perhaps I'll do something with Zelda/Sonic/Pokemon. I don't think I'll ever stop with Kirby, though.

Here’s YellowThunder1712’s channel - youtube.com/user/YellowThunder1712/videos
It’s important to note that I used a totally different sound mixing method with this arrangement, which might cause the track to sound overly treble oriented for certain brands of headphones. It’ll be interesting to see if people like the new style less or more. I was just originally doing P-R-O-G-R-A-M and Heart of Nova on my own, TNH offered to help and provided me with a customized midi for the Star Dream Soul OS section at – 12:10. It’s based on his original remix that you can hear right here – youtube.com/watch?v=-y9p0uqofvA
He added a ton of references to other Kirby tracks among other things. (Seriously, that “Another Dimension” at the end was ingenious) I worked the new instruments in and created a few different renditions, ended up mixing two of them together for this arrangement. Just about every note in that section was put down by TNH, though I did change/add a couple things. The thing is, when TNH offered to help, I had a rough rendition of my own Super Nova remix, but I ended up reworking it like four times and I just couldn’t get it to sounds how I wanted. If I didn’t get this help, the vid would have been half as long and even less than half as good.
We originally ended up with an eight-minute track featuring two renditions of P-R-O-G-R-A-M and one rendition of Heart of Nova, which, I felt was more than adequate for my channel… But I felt pretty stupid having done phase one, now tackling phase three/four, and hadn’t yet remixed phase two. I figured I might as well rework my old Mind in a PROGRAM midi and make it a whole medley!
So, I told TNH about this idea…. and he made almost a full Mind in a PROGRAM remix for me. Like, wow.
I’m seeing some elements in his rendition that are almost reworked from some of the stuff I added for my old remix. Too bad they’re so much better in his version. (Seriously, you did an awesome job, man) It was like he was saying, “Alright, I see what you were TRYING to do, now lemme show you how its done.” Plus, the supporting strings on his mix are just so majestic. I couldn’t think of a better way to start the video, and I can’t thank him enough.
The Heart of Nova remix was a tricky thing. I tried to send TNH an audio file to edit, but you know technology. Technology doesn’t cooperate… TNH ended up remaking some of the clips from the remix from scratch and sent them back to me with his additions. Dude! Major props!
As for the rest of the medley, I had a lot of trouble making phase 3, but I think I’m pretty happy with the outcome. Phase 2 was quite easy to make, and it turned out much better than some of the tracks that take me weeks. Which makes no sense.
Well, that’s pretty much it. Star Abraham made some incredibly cool artwork for the video, just as before! When I boot up my browser and that stuff pops up on my screen as a new addition, I get so excited. Whenever something new of his gets uploaded, man…. It’s just tons of fun to watch it all get put together, and I’m really humbled to have someone willing to work with me at that level. Didn’t know how I was gonna follow up the sweet visuals from the last video without his help, but he offered to provide some insane work once more!
Random note! I think a lot of people wanted the riff from the HON remix here that was featured at the end of my old Mind in a PROGRAM remix. There is a similar riff, but it’s kinda quiet during this rendition.
PUBLIC MIDI COLLAB INFO BELOW!
Alright, here’s the deal! I’ve made my own midi rendition of the boss theme from Robobot, and you have full permission to edit it with any programs you like. (Add different instruments, totally restructure notes, etc.) You may then upload it to your own channel, SoundCloud or whatever you like. It doesn’t matter to me if you give credit, but you may want to tell your listeners that you used a source midi with permission so they don’t get skeptical when hearing similar sounding remixes that use the same file as a base. There’s a small chance that I’ll add more midis with different Kirby remixes, but we’ll see how this goes!
Here’s the midi – http://www.mediafire.com/file/36p9tazhdk7hqk8/Kirby_Planet_Robobot_-_Boss_Base_Midi.mid
I’d be totally stoked to hear what you do with it, if you’d like to share with me.

An enormous thank you to Star Abraham for creating this insane and truly kickass artwork to use in the video, I mean holy cow. Same as before, Credit for the SNES soundfonts goes to William Kage. Genesis soundfont credit goes to The Eighth Bit.
If I tell you how long it took me to put this video together, even with Star Abraham's help, it wouldn't be bragging. It would be more like one of those depressing confessions you hear at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. I started this....
Drum roll.....
... Seven months ago.
That's pathetic.
I uploaded and sent a LOT of unlisted videos to him, it's crazy nothing came out by accident. 'Cause I do stupid stuff like that all the time.
All the tracks are connected, making kinda my longest remix yet. Thirteen minutes. Believe it or not, after the Queen Sectonia Medley, I started taking these projects SUPER seriously. I didn't spend a lot of time polishing that one up, and many before it had the same style. I spent a lot more time cleaning up small sections on this one and Mind in a PROGRAM.... But overall, I think the process of making this track, though time consuming, was less stressful than Mind in a PROGRAM, probably just because my computer wasn't crashing constantly.
In some ways I thought the idea of making this upload a big deal was kinda dumb since a lot of people don't really care for Amazing Mirror. (BUT It's probably MY second favorite Kirby game behind Super Star, haha!) I thought about it again, and it kinda makes sense because I'm pretty sure most of my audience grew up with this game. (Looking at the age analytics of my viewers, comments and what-have-you)
I actually don't have that much else to say. I mean, I have a SHIT ton to say, but my experiences with this upload have been pretty vast so I can't really collect my thoughts. Basically, Star Abraham and I definitely poured our hearts out for this one, and I really hope you guys dig it!
ALSO! - Here are two sections that I ended up cutting from this upload! -
youtube.com/watch?v=hll53unokaQ - Dark Mind *Custom Intro*
youtube.com/watch?v=Y5yFkBieQWY - Dark Mind *Custom Outro*
I suppose PROGRAM/Heart of Nova is probably next? I think so! I'll definitely have to do something a little different for that upload to keep things interesting, we'll see how that goes. I may have an upload unrelated to Kirby coming through as well, so bear with me all you guys who aren't into that stuff, I'll getcha later for sure.
Cherry Kirby rules!

I beat the True Arena today. Holy crap the last boss was damn awesome. And no joke.
This hit 24k and is thus, my most supported upload. Even the ratings and comments have been crazy supportive. I did NOT expect this, man. I can't thank you all enough, I'm really being spoiled.
I had also planned to do some of the other battle themes from Robobot in this video, but I ended up making an extended remix of Mind in a Program instead. It'll take me a while to figure out the rest of them too, they have quite the unusual structure! This remix was one of the most difficult, confusing, fun, and exhilarating adventures I’ve taken up. First of all, I broke it up into four different sections listed below.
-Introduction
-Main body
-16-bit Revamp of “main body”
-16-bit + “Kirby’s Adventure” Custom closure (References some tracks relevant in Robobot)
I had initially created the “main body” first. This was oddly the only part of the song that was finalized and ultimately created in Garageband using “Kontakt 5” instruments. This was also by far, the most difficult section of the song, because I had implemented a new technique in the creative process. This was a dumb idea. Many times when I design a track, I have the lead melody, bass melody, and a couple supporting melodies all layered on top of one another. In this scenario, I thought I could implement a “one size fits all supporting melody” throughout the entire body. Essentially, instead of creating more than one supporting melody, I’d just make a HUGE FILL THE WHOLE SCREEN WITH NOTES supporting melody, and assign a couple instruments to it, rather than making different supporting melodies for each instrument. This didn’t create an unprofessional sound (I don’t think so…?) it just made it WAY harder for it to sound good at all. I did reach a point when I was satisfied, but it was VERY unrewarding for this particular section of the song. I DO NOT recommend this method, it took way too long, and while it does make managing multiple supporting melodies simpler, it won’t matter in the long run because you’re gonna be editing the one that’s there so damn much that it’ll take even longer.
The introduction was also an odd process, I actually made this section twice! Two totally different melodies. I ended up making the piano too loud on the first version, and believe it or not, since I was using the FL Studio demo to make it…. I couldn’t save my project mid-work. So, I started over. Fortunately, the old one was actually much too shitty by comparison as a whole, so I’m glad it happened the way it did! I wanted also, to create some kind of instant dramatic startup that kind of grabs the viewer by the throat with the WAYAWA of Kirby, but… I might’ve scared people off.
- I had to cut the other two section descriptions because of a description word limit, but these went smoothly and I had a ton of fun with. Visual effects were very fun for me to make, but the illustration of Susie was done by Halgalaz.
-
Now let’s talk technical. I have never in my life had a project crash my damn computer as many times as this. The main body especially. There came a point when I couldn’t even WORK on certain parts of the main body because my WHOLE computer would slow down to an absolute crawl. When it normally takes me seven seconds at max to open up my options for an instrument, it would now take 3-10 minutes! And that’s EVERY DAMN TIME I want to edit an instrument! Even after I finally rendered it, nine times out of ten, HALF THE INSTRUMENTS WERE MISSING IN THE RENDERED FILE. So, I had to render ‘em separately and put ‘em together.
(Another deleted section talking about how things were fairly easy for the last sections of the song in the creative process)
Thank you all for reaching out to me, I’m really glad I had a chance to connect more on a personal level on my “Behind the Scenes Video.” I’ve been surprised that my channel has actually grown a decent bit ever since I put up that video. I thank you for your patience with me too, I wouldn’t be as comfortable working on large projects had it not been for that! If I go at my own pace, I only upload when I think I’ve reached a good point. I am so grateful I can share my projects and passions with you guys. God bless.
Edit -
THE AUDIO VISUALIZER ON THE SECOND HALF OF THE VIDEO GOT CUT OFF ON THE LEFT SIDE. AAAAAAAAAAGHA!!!!!!!!

10:03 - Dark Daroach
10:57 - Dark Nebula Intro
11:58 - Dark Nebula
13:59 - Custom (Marx Intro)

Here's a new version of Sullied Grace! It was a collab project! - soundcloud.com/thatnintendohedgehog/queen-sectonia-phase-1-remix
Holy crap. It’s done. I literally started this before the beginning of the first semester at college, and I’m uploading this at 4 A.M. the day I go back for the second semester. Oh man. Anyways, really hope you guys enjoy this. First off, just like what happened with after the Zero Two remix, this upload marks a point where I’m going to try harder to make better content. It may take longer, but I really have to utilize this account to the best of my abilities. That’s what it’s all about. I made the visuals in Imageready and Final Cut Pro for those wondering. I had to throw thirty filters on Sectonia’s head so you guys wouldn’t be able to tell I can’t draw worth crap. Oh man. The names? I’ve screwed the naming before. So there’s like a buncha different names for a buncha songs from the soundtrack. A lot of people call Moonstruck Blossom F-L-O-W-E-R, but it’s not the official name. Now before, I was like whatever, doesn’t matter, I’ll use it as an alternate title since I’m gonna have multiple remixes of it. But I can’t do that, because there’s already another song in the soundtrack named “F-L-O-W-E-R-E-D.” A dude told me that a while ago, but I was an idiot and didn’t change shit because for some reason, it just didn’t register in my brain. So now I’m gonna go back and fix it. Yeah. But wait. What about all these other damn names?
Oh man. I always knew the “phase one” theme as “Dirty and Beauty,” but apparently it’s also known as Sullied Grace? Can someone tell me if that is like some region difference thing…. for a track…. in a game….. I don’t know. But I put it up there. Now, the third battle track theme used twice in the game. Oh man. It has two different intros in the soundtrack, and afterwards kicks off at different parts of the song. I attempted to mix the two here. Anything else? I’m extremely excited to show you all the next remix, though it’s going to take longer than I thought, and I just want to say that you guys are the best. Seriously, I’ve been cruising around other fandoms and half the time some of the comments other people receive drive me nuts. The top comments are beyond irrelevant, even disrespectful, and a huge lack of understanding in any argument is prominent. In contrast, the Kirby community has been beyond my expectations. All you guys I have met here… I thought I was thankful before, but I know now that I couldn’t ask for better viewers. It’s really unbelievable that the so many different kinds of people have the opportunity to view my content, but all who I’ve met have been so positive and helpful, even if I screw something up you guys still find a way to explain yourself in a way that I’ll hear in my head, and my arrogance won’t get the best of me. Thank you guys, so much. God bless you all.
If you need a little something extra, here's an extended version of my SNES Moonstruck Blossom remix with better quality. - youtube.com/watch?v=WreCCn7ccSU
