After doing the Rocket Silo theme in LMMS a while back, I decided to revisit Super Crate Box to tackle an 8-bit version of the music from the first level of the game - the Construction Yard.
This is the music that I remember the most when I used to play to original game a long time back, mostly because it was the level you played when learning the mechanics the most and what gets you into the mood to get that new high score.
A lovely little arcade score attack shooter that takes place on a single screen and can easily be played on a small window. Maybe that helps when you're trying to hide it from others looking along with games like N+ at college ......
I've been bringing a bit more DPCM to my tracks these days and it definitely does bring more of a boost to some of them. Although by using the Zxx command to combat some sample popping, you do lose a bit of volume from the triangle channel in return so it is always a tradeoff on original hardware due to the limitations!
Hope you enjoy this one and let me know what you think in the comments below as always.
All the best.

There is just something about the stock sounds in LMMS, mainly the instruments created with ZynAddSubFX, that is so incredibly satisfying when it comes to attempting to match that from the Nintendo Gamecube era. Maybe the developers are just secret fans of the console. When it comes to translating the strings and choir sections, I did surprisingly well when attempting to balance and mix what I had to offer.
It was much of the same as when I initially covered the Hyrule Temple track from Super Smash Bros. Melee previously. Those piano synths alongside the choir and strings section breakdown were particularly pleasing on the ear.
Fighting in Onett was always fun and a good memory of mine. Playing as Kirby, the cars were always a bit of a pain but getting to use that down-B a lot more than made up for it. I think the only other characters that really suited my playstyle were Captain Falcon and Ganondorf in the end. It was handy that Kirby was my main as my friends both preferred playing Link and Samus respectively anyway so there were never any mirror matches!
Hope you enjoy this one. Some of the piano chords were tough but I think that I ended up putting my own little spin on things where I could. Let me know what you think in the comments below as always!
All the best.
