AurenTheGuyAfter three months of hard work, I'm ready to present one of my greatest paints. I remember back when I started making Mario Paints, doing One-Winged Angel was something I wanted to do so badly, however I was never capable of recreating the awesomeness this song encompasses. Now however, after having years of practice, I believe I've done this song justice. And in time for the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade no less!
Advent: One-Winged Angel - Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2021-06-11 | After three months of hard work, I'm ready to present one of my greatest paints. I remember back when I started making Mario Paints, doing One-Winged Angel was something I wanted to do so badly, however I was never capable of recreating the awesomeness this song encompasses. Now however, after having years of practice, I believe I've done this song justice. And in time for the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade no less!
With all that said, I hope you enjoy the video!My Very Serious Reaction to the September 14, 2023 Nintendo DirectAurenTheGuy2023-09-15 | This is a very serious reaction.
(It's not.)
(Except for the F-Zero part that part was serious.)Face Shrine - The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2023-05-05 | Probably one of the most somber melodies in the Zelda franchise. It sticks with you especially because of its respective dungeon, where Link learns the unfortunate truth of Koholint Island. While I never enjoyed Link's Awakening (unfortunately), I do love its story and music, and Face Shrine has always stood out as an especially striking piece, even when it was limited to the tones the Gameboy could barely produce out of its little speaker.
With all that said, I hope you enjoy the video!Title Theme - Metroid: Zero Mission | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2023-03-17 | Been on a bit of a Metroid kick lately, thanks to Nintendo rereleasing both Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion on the Switch. I've been having an absolute blast revisiting the games, and the Zero Mission rendition of the classic Metroid theme got stuck in my head, so I wanted to remake it. Zero Mission's take is a sort of unexpected twist on it, seeing as it starts with the lesser known second melody that plays after 30 seconds or so in the original game. It's a beautiful rendition nonetheless, and thus it's commonly the version I think of when I think of Metroid.
With all that said, I hope you enjoy the video!Lennas Theme - Final Fantasy V | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2023-01-05 | Little bit of a simpler one. I came across this theme when I was listening to Relaxing SNES Music by SNESdrunk. It got stuck in my head and I decided to recreate it in Mario Paint! There's a couple other themes from Final Fantasy V I might also remake, but for now I wanted to do this one due to its simple albeit charming sound.
With that all said, I hope you enjoy the video!His World - Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2022-12-25 | Finally done a Sonic song! You'd think with how many incredible soundtracks the series has gotten I would've done something for the games by now, but I suppose I just needed a little push on behalf of the season.
This was my Secret Santa gift to VolcanBrimstone! He's an excellent Mario Painter and one of the figures I've looked up to in creating my own. I highly recommend you check out his channel here: youtube.com/@VolcanBrimstone
This was certainly a fun one to make. Like Wind Waker's End Credits, this was something I attempted early on, but I just didn't know how to approach it back then. Now of course it was mostly a breeze, and it sounds awesome to boot!
With that all said, I hope you enjoy the video!Sprockets New Update is Pretty GoodAurenTheGuy2022-12-20 | I almost hope this doesn't get fixed this is hilarious lmaoIts Just a Burning Memory - The Caretaker | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2022-12-12 | This is a bit of a fancy upload. About a year ago a fellow Mario Painter did a bit of this as an experiment in our Discord. I felt inspired and wanted to give it a go of my own. Fast forward to now and after a bit of procrastination I've finally finished it! I did some sound effects work in audacity to approach the reverb present in the original album, as well as adding vinyl crackle for the full effect. Even with all that, I think you can still tell it's Mario Paint, lol.
Speaking of the original album, I highly recommend you give it a listen. The content and themes are pretty heavy, so it's not for the feint of heart, but it's a thoroughly and expertly crafted musical experience definitely worth your time.
With all that said, I hope you enjoy the video!End Credits - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2022-09-05 | I'm back! After a completely contrived hiatus due to work (don't recommend) I'm finally back to making cool stuff. This one's been a long time coming I suppose. It was one of the first songs I ever attempted, and considering the limitations of the program back then plus my lack of ability, it surely wouldn't have amounted to anything as good as this. Easily, this theme stands out as one of the greatest of any Zelda game, and surely an excellent staff roll theme as well.
With all that said, I hope you enjoy the video!Orange Tesla - Kanye West (ft. Kid Diablo) | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2022-04-01 | Easily the best track from Ye's Donda. He's done it again folks, hip hop is changed forever.
Also APRIL FOOLS
For those who aren't aware, this is a joke track from a "leaked" version of Donda by VideoGameDunkey. There's a treasure trove of musical mish mash collected in the fake album, and this is easily one of the most memorable due to it's awful harmonic dissonance. The song is actually from Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle for the Sega Genesis, titled "Item C". Considering it's less than stellar quality, you might ask why would I make this into a Mario Paint?
Because I felt like it.Ringside - Rhythm Heaven Fever | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2021-12-28 | If you're interested in Mario Paint, feel welcome to join the Mario Paint community Discord! discord.gg/MfQK5TF
This was made for our Secret Santa event this year, as my gift to Spaghettitron! You can check him out here if you'd like: youtube.com/c/Spaghettitron
Never been much of a Rhythm Heaven guy, though perhaps if Nintendo releases a new game in the next century that might change. I've known Ringside for a long time though, mostly through YTPMVs and other meme edits. Helps also that it's a pretty solid tune all around. With all that said, I hope you enjoy!NOWS YOUR CHANCE TO BE A - Deltarune | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2021-09-22 | HEY EVERY !
Been a bit since the last paint. Deltarune Chapter 2 has made sure to change that though with its fantastic soundtrack. The moment I heard this theme I knew I wanted to attempt in in Mario Paint.
Shout out to Xanderoni for the Soundfont help! He incorporated the voice samples into the program so I was able to use it directly in the song.
With all that said, I hope you enjoy!mm2wood but it’s a cover in Mario Paint | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2021-04-01 | [Originally titled “Wood Man - Mega Man 2 | Super Paint]
Haven't done a Mega Man song before. Kind of sad on my behalf considering how great the soundtracks for the series are, but regardless, this is a good start. Bit of a shorter one I know, but it was still pretty fun to do. I hope you enjoy!
ALSO APRIL FOOLS HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHADancing Mad (Extended) - Final Fantasy VI | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2021-03-22 | After about two years, this song has stood pretty strong. Definitely one of my best, that's for sure, but there was still a couple things I could've added. So, I went back, touched up a couple parts, added a missing instrument or two, and viola, Dancing Mad is back, and better than ever. Also, it's 17 minutes long this time, so you can dance and be mad for longer. I hope you enjoy!
Here are some time stamps for your viewing pleasure:
First Tier: 00:00 Second Tier: 04:39 Third Tier: 08:21 Final Tier: 11:41
Finally, for those curious, here's a list of changes made from the original version:
- Parts 20-24: added a more echoey organ sound to better match the third tier - Parts 20-24: added star instrument to the rapid mario section to accentuate the sound a little more - Parts 34-39, 40-43: added a more echoey organ sound to better match the third tier - Parts 50 & 51: added peach to fill in for a missing harmony due to the placement of the car notes - Parts 72-74: lengthened sustaining sections to better match the original song - Part 75.5: transitions better back into the beginning of the tier - Parts 82 & 83: lengthened sustaining sections and pauses to better match the original song - Parts 94-98: added missing symbol crashDecide in the Eyes - F-ZERO X | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2021-01-02 | wHoA, tWo UpLoAds iN a rOw??// cRaZy!!!11
In all seriousness, this is only coming out so soon after Sanctuary Guardian because I had started work on this while waiting to upload the former. It's been three years since I first did Big Blue, and that one was for the Super Nintendo! I figured since it's been so long that it would be fun to approach this song with the set of skills I've acquired since then, and to hopefully see it's amounted to something, haha!
With that all being said, I hope you enjoy the video!Sanctuary Guardian - EarthBound | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2021-01-02 | w h a t
Been a while since I've done anything remotely Mother related.
This song was done for the Mario Paint Hangout Secret Santa for this year, and this was my gift to CyanSMP64. It was a little daunting at first while I was attempting the percussion, but considering its short length and low amount of deviation, it was easy to continue once I established the first couple parts. With all that said, I hope you enjoy the video!Trains in Cyberpunk 2077AurenTheGuy2020-12-23 | If only I could ride them.Crazy Cry at Call - F-ZERO X | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2020-11-27 | Finally, two years since finishing the SNES F-Zero OST, here's F-Zero X! I originally tried tackling these songs almost immediately after finishing the previous soundtrack, but I found that I didn't really have the know how of dealing with F-Zero X's instrumentation. After a couple more years of Mario Painting though, I'm feeling much more confident, and I'm very happy with how this turned out.
Some of you may notice the ending to the song doesn't come from the original track. Normally, there's no ending at all, and the song just continually loops. I personally have never liked fade outs as opposed to actual endings, so I took some liberty and recreated a portion of the ending from the Guitar Arrange version of the song and used that for the ending. If you're a fan of F-Zero music, and you haven't listened to that album, stop everything you're doing and listen to it, it's awesome.
In any case, I hope you all enjoy the video!Donald Trump is... (Sr Pelo Homage)AurenTheGuy2020-09-08 | I made this extremely basic animation in 2017 on Scratch, a free program hosted by MIT. It allows you to make basic games and animations using code represented by puzzle blocks that you put together to create whatever you want. Instead of being creative, I made this, an animation made replicating the style of Sr Pelo's 'X is...' series. He hasn't made one in a while, but they were some of my favourite videos back then.
Regardless of it's questionable quality, I hope you enjoy the video!Illusion - F-ZERO: GP Legend | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2020-08-31 | Back to video game music, and whaddya know, it's F-Zero, again.
I still want to make more F-Zero music, but after making the entire SNES soundtrack, trying to move from that to F-Zero X with all of its heavy metal and rock organs is really hard to replicate, so instead I've approached something simpler with Illusion. The song rocks incredibly hard for a GBA song, but you can tell it's limited because it includes next to no bass. As a result I took some liberties and used GaMetal's cover (very excellent by the way please go watch it) as a reference for what the bass should sound like. I'm very pleased with the result and I hope you will be to. With that all said, I hope you enjoy the video!Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2020-08-07 | Never expected that I'd make an Elton John song using this program, but I ended up doing so for my ex's and I's anniversary a couple years ago.
The piano was definitely the most worrying part going in, as Super Mario Paint's only piano instrument is the coin, and it's less than adequate. Fortunately it worked out, and gets the effect across pretty well. All in all, I'm pretty happy with this one.
I hope you all enjoy!Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2020-07-27 | My first non gaming related Mario Paint, other than the NFL meme I did lol.
This is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs. The intensity of the instrumentation, Waters' and Gilmour's vocals, and the incredible guitar solos; all backed by lingering orchestral touches create a musical experience unlike anything, even compared to other Pink Floyd songs. With a song as daunting as this, I had to give it my all, and I absolutely think it paid off. Without a doubt this either surpasses or is equal to the Dancing Mad Mario Paint I did last year, and I couldn't wait to finally release it.
Without further ado, I present Comfortably Numb in Super Mario Paint. I hope you enjoy.top 10 reasons why we ned a new fzeroAurenTheGuy2020-06-10 | like and subscrib :)
Please Nintendo I'm starving please give me a new F-Zero.Gerudo Valley (EU Version) - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2020-04-01 | What's this? Two videos in two days? What kind of miracle is this?
It's not one, it's APRIL FOOLS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHVictory Lap - Mario Kart 64 | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2020-03-31 | Say hello to probably one of the best end credits themes ever created for a racing game. Mario Kart Wii also comes pretty close, but the fact that this song carries essentially the same motif as Rainbow Road 64, which in my opinion is the greatest Mario Kart song ever made, pushes it to victory for me. The sound this song creates was pretty hard to replicate, but I'll be darned if I ain't proud of this one.
With all that said, I hope you enjoy the video!Sector Z - Super Smash Bros. | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2020-03-27 | This was in the Super Smash Bros Mario Paint Collab! Go check it out here:
This was the second song I made for this collab! Almost immediately after Brinstar, I made this as I was on a road trip through the mountains in British Columbia. For something made on a bumpy car ride I'm pretty happy with it. I hope you all enjoy!Dark Halls - DOOM (1993) | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2020-03-11 | I made this song in Mario Paint based on a misunderstanding I had when I got involved in this sort of challenge in the Mario Paint Community. When I realized that I couldn't use this song, I had already finished it lol.
But, with Doom Eternal right around the corner, I think it's fitting to upload this anyway. This is a song from the original DOOM from 1993, from the third mission of episode one, (or E1M3, for short). I never really considered making it until the previous challenge I mentioned, but I'm glad I did because I think it came out pretty nice.
I hope you all enjoy the video!Mute City (Brawl) - Super Smash Bros. Brawl | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2020-03-03 | This was in the Super Smash Bros Mario Paint Collab! Go check it out here:
This is Mute City from Brawl, or as they called it before Ultimate, Mute City Ver. 2. Honestly this stands as one of the best versions of the songs period in my mind, so it was a blast tackling this one. I hope you all enjoy!top 10 reasons why doom guy should be in smashAurenTheGuy2020-01-15 | like and subscrib :)

This came about as a result of me joking around with a fellow Mario Painter, DeepFreeze757. Pretty sure we laughed for a bit about the idea, and that was supposed to be it.
And then I made the song, and then HE made NFL on CBS, which was very good by the way, so go check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=I-XKAz1RQOQ
For all you football fans out there, I hope you enjoy!
Because I don't even like football lmaoDancing Mad (Final Tier) - Final Fantasy VI | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2019-07-06 | I've decided to upload each of the tiers individually, as they stand pretty well on their own.
This is the final tier of Dancing Mad. It plays in the final phase of the final boss battle at the end of the game. I hope you enjoy!Dancing Mad (Third Tier) - Final Fantasy VI | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2019-07-06 | I've decided to upload each of the tiers individually, as they stand pretty well on their own.

Mostly because this behemoth took me (on and off working on it) three gosh darn months! I originally started this as a sort of what if or joke, to see if I was crazy enough to do it. Well, let's just say I was *mad* enough, because here's all of Dancing Mad, 9 minutes and 27 seconds of it. I hope you enjoy it!Minecraft Stream but now its Skyrim part 5AurenTheGuy2019-06-28 | Minecraft Stream but not actually lol

part 2: youtube.com/watch?v=V1xaToVZ_woBrinstar - Super Smash Bros. Melee | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2018-08-15 | After a year and a half, I can finally reveal why this was a special video. This song was made as part of the Mario Paint Community's Super Smash Bros Mario Paint Collab, a collaboration work made possible by fourteen different Mario Painters! Please go watch it, there's plenty more music to be found and enjoyed there!
In either case, I hope you enjoy the video!White Land I - F-ZERO | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2018-08-13 | And that is the entire F-Zero soundtrack (excluding White Land II because screw that)! It only took me a year of not doing any F-Zero for me to finish it, but it's finally done. Now I can finally rest and never make another Mario Paint for another several months, as I usually do.
Just kidding, I hope to still make more Mario Paints in the near future but until then, I hope you enjoy the video!Mute City - F-ZERO | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2018-08-04 | Well it only took me a year, but I might finally be started on finishing the F-Zero OST in Mario Paint. All that's left now is White Land, but that song honestly sounds like hell to replicate, so I'm not sure if it will be soon or not. In any case, I hope you enjoy this rendition of Mute City!
(except now i want to die because i found out i missed the low harmony in the intro section)Silence [Redux] - F-ZERO | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2018-08-03 | A year ago now I made Silence in Super Mario Paint. While decent, it's definitely not as good as some of my more recent Mario Paints. So, to bring it up a little bit, I decided to change the melody in the second half of the song from the Piranha Plant to the Flower on sustain, and I increased the volume of the melody in the first half to make it pop out a little more. I felt the changes were worthy enough of uploading the song again, so here it is. I hope you enjoy!Blackheart - Breath of the Wild AMVAurenTheGuy2018-08-02 | [Spoilers for those who haven't played the game to the end, or lack or haven't played through the DLC.]
I've planned on making a final Breath of the Wild AMV since the Champion's Ballad was released, but I never got to it until now. It's the longest of all of them, which I think is fitting as it contains all of the game's trailers and a majority of the cutscenes. Other than that, not much else to say other than I hope you enjoy the video!Alpharads Bizarre Smash Bros.AurenTheGuy2018-07-24 | Just wait until his stand reaches it's full power.

Infinity War - a Super Smash Bros./Avengers Infinity War MashupAurenTheGuy2018-07-08 | I know Infinity War has been out since the end of April, but I've seen so many other videos doing this and I wanted so badly to try it out myself. This took me around three hours to do, so I can't say I put too much effort into it lol.
In any case, I hope you enjoy the video!
(Oh also, once enough trailers come out for Ultimate, I'll probably be remaking my other Smash video, so look out for that one in the future.)Castle - Alcahest | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2018-06-29 | I put this one off for a while after getting stuck on volume for the shy guys, but eventually I realized I could just throw them through Audacity and make them louder and bam, now I've finally finished this. I believe this is quite the challenging song and one of the harder ones I've finished, so I'm pretty proud of it.
I hope you enjoy!Staff Roll - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past | Super Mario PaintAurenTheGuy2018-01-09 | Probably one of the best Mario Paints I've made. I really hope you enjoy it, as it took me a lot of time and effort to wrap this up.
