...on some parts it sounds a bit like a midi tune, but I don't mean it in a rude way, I like that type of sound if executed correctly. I like the melody the most, its very catchy, and the 2:00 piano part is very nice, sax could use a better sample, but its cool. Overall I gave you a 10/10 5/5 because I can hear all the effort you put into this, and as I said, I don't mind if the music lacks some high-tech effects and stuff, heck I still listen to some of the old NES tunes. Keep it up ;) Oh yeah, and the track has a nice loop which was good to have while writing a review.

actually, that midi-sound might be because on three of the instruments on this song, they're HEAVILY distorted base sounds off of the SNES game mario paint. For instance, the panning bell is the star ;). I'm glad you liked my song, thanks for taking time to review and vote, it means a lot to me!

It almost sounds like an original mix from Nintendo, the reverb effect makes it sound more like a CD version, than a N64 or GBA one, but that's not to say that its bad. If I graded this for its uniqueness it wouldn't get such a high score, but since it's just a remix that sounds flawless, I gave it 5/5 10/10...keep 'em coming ;)

Pretty basic use of creepy sound modulation, but it gets the job done, It's nothing special, but certainly usable. If you stick long enough to this kind of "music" you'll get even better results ;)

"Loops should get their own rating category..."
3/5
7/10
It isn't all that bad, It could be used in a Kirby dream-like sequence. It's main problem lies in the continuation of the loop, the melody cuts off a bit awkwardly. It's a shame that there isn't a whole separate category for loops, because some of the nice ones get horrible scores just because many people don't understand what a loop is, and other people refuse to vote high because it takes less effort to make a loop than a whole track. Almost nobody wants to see a short loop taking a place higher than a whole piece. Anyway, I made my short Kirby loop and it got decent scores, so I decided to listen to other tracks in Kirby category, yours was listed among the worst ones, but I gave it a listen, and hey, I find it to be pretty decent ;)

...you showed true love towards the original and still managed to pull off something completely original. I love the part that starts around 3:56 it's amazing, and the the last two minutes really contribute to the whole composition. 5/5 10/10 MASTERFUL !!!

Very catchy and it's not because of the constant repetition, I like the retro sounds and that solo part always sounds so epic :) 5/5 10/10 just keep in mind that this is the score for the loop type of melody

It doesn't deserve whole 10 stars because the melody is originally not yours, but this is a perfect NES rendition so 5/5 10/10 ;)

...and I've heard a lot of Jazz variations, I must say that this one is one of my favorites, great job, the true score for this would be 5/5 8.0/10, but I gave you 10 stars because it's 10 for Newgrounds, 2 more would've been given if you expanded on the theme and added an ending, but nevertheless, this is totally awesome as it is, I admit, I couldn't make one myself, not in this version at least :)

This could have been so EPIC !! The intro buildup was fantastic (till 0:43), the rest was not bad, but it seemed like you got stuck and didn't know how to expand to the next level, you tried to make it stronger by adding one louder synht to the melody but failed (well not miserably by any means ;) I'm just disappointed that you didn't deliver more...the solo part at 2:00 was a nice touch, but still... 5/5 for effort, 7/10 to make you feel bad and to make you fix this :) PS: Still luvin' your stuff ;)
