So I asked my dog, "Hey isn't it a shame there aren't more Mario Paint videos of Shovel Knight?" And she said to me, "Be the change you want to see in the world."
Or something like that.
If there's another Shovel Knight song you'd like me to cover, leave a comment.
Thanks for watching!

READ THIS!!!
In a nutshell: This song has been made so that it could be done on the Original Mario Paint just to prove that I can work with the original, I just dont choose to.
Its hard for anyone to ignore the oposition some people have against Mario Paint Composer. No one has said anything to my face, but Im sure plenty have thought it. Im not going to be able to change any minds, and I dont intend to. I see why people think this way; Its a lot harder on the original.
Before someone can crack the I bet you cant work with the original cuz you suck! comment, This is MY attempt to show that I can work with the original Mario Paint.
I am still using Composer, only because Mairo Paint ROMs are illegal if you dont own the original game, but I follow all of the original limitaitons.
- 3 instruments per beat
- No stacking notes
- No sharps/flats
- No higher than a G
- No wicked fast tempos
Its the same thing, only legal (no, I do not cut the clips lengths down. Fixing this does not requre Mario Paint skill; it requres editing skill which I do not have).
Why dont I do this with all of my songs?
Those songs I do (probably) could not be done on the original because they violate one or more of the above listed limitations. I would either have to alter the song a lot (which I dont like doing) or cut parts (which I like less) or have it sound bad or boring (which I hate).
Mario Paint Composer is limited enough for me anyway. That makes it a little more fun to compose though.
Please let me know if you like it!
If you dont like it, leave constructive criticism (dont just say It sucks gimme my wasted minute back!!1!111!!1!!one!1! These will be deleted.)
I think that pretty much anyone can recognise this tune. Thanks Koji!
