It's been so many years since I've last come to this video, but this medley still means so much to me. Suddenly got reminded of Mario Paint covers and it led me back to here. Can't believe this video is this old now?
This is amazing, especially considering the fact that you worked with the original ROM, which is way more restrictive than its PC software counterpart. Congratulations, buddy!
Inkling kirby WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY FRIENDS DO NOT SAY ANOTHER GOD DAMN WORD MY NEW BEASTIE AMIGO PAL WE ARE NOW AN INSEPARABLE PAIR DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I WILL NOT LISTEN TO YOU I LIKE YOU BUDDY PAL!!!
THAT HOTEL THEME THO. Seriously I love this entire thing but it was at that point that I decided that Mario Paint is perfect at showing off the Mother series' quirky side.
@U2becommenter thanks for your wonderful comments! In terms of the harmonization, I tried inverting the interval, and it didn't sound pleasant to me. I often switch instruments mid-melody for the sake of passing the melody to other voices, much like an orchestra would. Sometimes it's handy for octave transpositions as well, given the narrow melodic range. The timbre of Mario Paint is difficult to work with, and various combinations/octave placement of notes pose that wonder challenge.
You know what I would love? If the CEO of Nintendo America saw this and cried so hard he demanded that Earthbound be ported to VC. Then he sent a letter to Nintendo of Japan asking if they could collaborate and make a Mother 4. 16 bit, just like the old days. And release it on the DS. And the offer is accepted, and the greatest game ever is made, and comes over to America. And then Mother 1 and 3 are ported to DS and VC. Ah, if only...
Great job. The original game, too. I had the thing on the original system, with the clunky plastic thing to use the mouse on. Sadly, i don't hear much of MOTHER 3, here. Did you not know about it? Oh well.
@tristman99 the idea was the recreate the eight separate melodies using eight separate voices, as depicted in the original Mother game. Everything about this arrangement was carefully crafted. :0)
How have I only just discovered this? I'm scrubbing away happy tears from such a sweet tribute. Really hoping you won all those years ago, but even if you didn't, know it still holds power
Omg... did you really make this? It's amazing. One of the greatest well thought out pieces on MP. Damn dude. You're amazing to have done this. Keep up the good work.
dude... perfect. The cuts are clean and barely recognizable. The melody and the songs are easy to pick out for old players, and very enjoyable. What also blows my mind is how you made it in the old Mario Paint! This video gets five stars, the songs get five stars, and you, my friend, get as many stars as you could possibly want.
This video has been on my favorites list for a couple years now and I still come back and listen to it periodically, this is such a beautiful medley, even being made in Mario Paint. Only way it could be better would be if it were orchestrated! Love the arrangement, love the medley, well done, thank you for this.
My friend showed me this a really long time ago and I didn't recognize any. Now, having developed an interest in the series and its music, and also playing through some of EarthBound, I recognize nearly all of it. Great job, and now I'll give it the five stars it deserves from me.
Congradulations on winning Pk Tubin', this video fully deserved it. As a fellow participator, I salute you on your victory. this music was lovely from start to end.
I was looking for an earthbound medley and I came upon this video. its a very great medley! it must've taken some time but it was worth it! great job!!
This just made my day! Always good to be reminded of your childhood, when things were a lot simpler, only having to worry about whether or not you can make the next save point before dinner! Thanks so much for this! One of my favorite series!
I got goosebumps at 00:·32, that really touched my hidden geek side, awesome transitions, I specially enjoyed the hotel transition, no wonder why you are the most respected mario paint musician around here, the best of luck to you ;-)
Unbelievable! It started out so slow, I was like "oh man he better not play that same thing for 7 minutes". But then it suddenly morphed into this incredible arrangement -- fantastic work! I'll definitely be rooting for your video.
you are so brilliant. My boyfriend just beat Earthbound, and his brother almost cried. I've just started playing and, I'm absolutely taken aback at how powerful it is.
Man, there's so many people out there who use MPC with all these soundfonts, or whatever, but if you ask me, a true artist works within his limits. Way to go, man. You're one of the best MP composers out there, dude. Honestly. I mean, they're not technically your songs, but it doesn't make what you do much less impressive.
This is an amazing tribute to one of the most amazing and lesser known series in Nintendo History. You have done an amazing job on it, and the award was well deserved. *Stamp of Approval*
TBB's got this contest wrapped up. Even his lesser videos get tens of thousands of views, and this is certainly one of his best. I know I'll personally be watching this again. 5/5 and favorited.
AWESOME, thanks for the download link, i will now spend many happy hours listening to this over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over :)
Seriously, Earthbound was a perfect game. This brought a tear to my eyes. I loved Earthbound. Its still my favorite game ever. Well done. I applaud you. I'm speechless
Hahah, this is fucking awesome, man. Your talent has always struck a chord with me, such wonderful songs who'se tunes I've listened to all throughout my childhood, redone in the most nerdly and true game-loving manner -- the things you can do given the limitations of simple Mario Paint is truly astounding. The original songs in the this melody were beautiful and unsurprisingly, so is the conversion you've done. You sort-of keep alive a feeling that's all but lost in music and video games~
As always, an absolutely awesome job. This time combined with being a dedication to the supporters of Earthbound. Perhaps one day Nintendo will stop being short-sighted and release Mother 3.
My favorite series for a reason :) Some games make me cry. Some make me smile, and some just grab my attention and keep me playing. MOTHER...did all of those things :') Thanks a ton TomBob, that really tugged at the heartstrings! Now excuse me guys, I'm going to go play EarthBound again.
well this is the best use of Mario Paint's music feature ever. Everyone else should just give up and go back to losing at battletoads since you've just won mario paint.
It's been so many years since I've last come to this video, but this medley still means so much to me. Suddenly got reminded of Mario Paint covers and it led me back to here. Can't believe this video is this old now?
Hi Elu Tran nice seeing you here!
Yooo It's the Bug Fables guy
Omg Undertale soundtrack guy omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg
Undertale ost person
whoever did this has to be officially awarded by Nintendo
:'o)
Better yet Shegeto Itoi himself
Anthony Nan Qiu Nintendo doesn't care at all, he needs a reward from Itoi.
Itoi died tho...
Specifically Mr. Itoi
Props for using the original Mario Paint.
I find it fitting how you opened with the first set of Eight Melodies and closed with the second set (the one expanded upon in Smiles and Tears)
After all these years, I think you're the first one to ever catch on to my madness. I'm impressed! Thanks for listening!
First 30 seconds of this vid and I'm like "Oh this looks easy to do." and then the rest of the song came up and I'm like WTH...... That's so OP!
sxiong559 When the Op takes a backhanded curve outta da blue...
I hope you win!
Did he win?
Yes
hey its up is not jump!
Jesus it's upisnotjump
Hello!
While listening to beginning: This is the laziest thi- Oh... OH. THIS IS AMAZIIIIIING
CoolCatTelevision DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE SERIES THAT IS MOTH-oh wait it just ended. Well...Crap...there goes my diologe...
8 melodies is supposed to be simple
Omg I'm crying mother is such a fantastic series
Mr. Otaku Piano And I'm eating pie!...for some reason...
Still crying?
No crying until the end.
I love how you blended Twooson with Pollyana! :D
That really great idea
And the runway five
This is amazing, especially considering the fact that you worked with the original ROM, which is way more restrictive than its PC software counterpart. Congratulations, buddy!
r4shka thank you!! It was such a fun project for me.
+TomBobBlender The Mother series for some reason reminds me of the short time I have on this world and that I shouldn't waste my time here.
Woolydog The Wolfman Words to live by.
Poor poor mario.. he must be tired...he jump till the end..
.
.

But it's worth it for this masterpiece
No jumping till the end!
earthbound was my first game i ever played
That had to be one hell of a emotional trip.
Inkling kirby WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY FRIENDS DO NOT SAY ANOTHER GOD DAMN WORD MY NEW BEASTIE AMIGO PAL WE ARE NOW AN INSEPARABLE PAIR DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I WILL NOT LISTEN TO YOU I LIKE YOU BUDDY PAL!!!
And Mother3 is many hell of emotional trips
Same buddy except before these amazing series was mario zelda then the mother series

Man its been at least a decade since I listened to this. I still love it.
Pollyanna was insane
0:08
Give it some words, and...
KINDA sounds like Updog...
old meme
AnimeboyIanpower Wait, whats updog?????????
NOT MUCH, WHAT'S UP WITH *YOU???*
AnimeboyIanpower WWWWWOOOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
What is updog
THAT HOTEL THEME THO. Seriously I love this entire thing but it was at that point that I decided that Mario Paint is perfect at showing off the Mother series' quirky side.
The fact that this was made in the original ROM makes this 1000 times better.
Amazing Job!!!!
As a huge Mother Fan, I say you done well. I mean like, why would anyone dislike such amazing work.
I'm so glad I found this masterpiece.
To bad it's been 12 years 😆
Listening to this always puts a silly little smile on my face

Wow, did nobody see this comment? Huh. Well, thank you so much for this. It’s really beautiful.
This brings me smiles and tears

I'm gonna cry
This is my new favorite video on youtube

No problem whatsoever! And now that I've read the description (it's later here oops), congrats on that quite well deserved win!
@@MadameTeqi thank you! It was this contest that first got my interest invested into the Mother series and I fell in love with it all!
This is fabulous, so glad it was recommended to me!👍
Give this guy a medal!
One of the best videos on RUclips. 💖💖
Nearly four years later and this still makes me happy.
14 yrs later it still speaks to my soul

@@TomBobBlender can u upload the mp3 file again?
This gave me chills. My god, man. You've done it. You've created a masterpiece.
tomorrow this video will complete 12 years L.O.L
THIS NEEDS SO MUCH MORE ATTENTION
Omg... did you really make this? It's amazing. One of the greatest well thought out pieces on MP. Damn dude. You're amazing to have done this. Keep up the good work.
Oh man, this is so beautiful. I'll be spreading this one around because it really deserves to win SOMETHING. Good luck!!
You can call me Pollyanna call me crazy call me a loon but these are amazing
I came back after years to listen to this video again... Twoson just gives me Goosebumps...it's just so beautiful on this
I for one love earthbound and am confused about how I have only found this recently. great job!!!

As a fellow participator, I salute you on your victory. this music was lovely from start to end.
Hey Mother/Earthbound fans! I have a proposal. What if we all try to come together as fans and the year of 2015 will be the Year Of Earthbound!
I like that idea. But how do we do it...? o.o
TwistedLeaf26 We tell everybody that 2015 will be year of earthbound and that we will have celebrations. I'm not really sure.
No, it needs to be in the year 201X
Evan Caltrider Of course! how could I forget the X?
Mother 4 confirmed Mother 1 and 3 come to VC Lucas gets in smash then the series ends (if he wants it to I don't mind there being a 5th) there you go
I was looking for an earthbound medley and I came upon this video. its a very great medley! it must've taken some time but it was worth it! great job!!
This is freaking amazing
How's Project Ultimate Chimera doing, King P?
This just made my day! Always good to be reminded of your childhood, when things were a lot simpler, only having to worry about whether or not you can make the next save point before dinner! Thanks so much for this! One of my favorite series!
This is GREAT!!!!! The Earthbound music is some of the greatest video game music ever made.
Yes! As soon as I saw your earlier Earthbound videos, I wanted to hear you do Eight Melodies. You did not disappoint, my dear sir.
YES.
I can see why you won First Prize.
Good job using the original rom and still making it sound good!
Great job pal
I remember listening to this as a kid and being totally immersed, having never heard of Earthbound before. I simply love this arrangement
I loved hearing the Twoson theme segue into Onett. This is a damn skilled piece, thanks a ton!
Nintendo hire this man
Or at least don't sue him
I got goosebumps at 00:·32, that really touched my hidden geek side, awesome transitions, I specially enjoyed the hotel transition, no wonder why you are the most respected mario paint musician around here, the best of luck to you ;-)
Been on a Mother nostalgia run lately, and it's always nice coming back to this little arrangement!
Unbelievable! It started out so slow, I was like "oh man he better not play that same thing for 7 minutes". But then it suddenly morphed into this incredible arrangement -- fantastic work! I'll definitely be rooting for your video.
love this game.
been playing it for 15 years and it never gets old.
you are so brilliant.
My boyfriend just beat Earthbound, and his brother almost cried. I've just started playing and, I'm absolutely taken aback at how powerful it is.
Man, there's so many people out there who use MPC with all these soundfonts, or whatever, but if you ask me, a true artist works within his limits. Way to go, man. You're one of the best MP composers out there, dude. Honestly. I mean, they're not technically your songs, but it doesn't make what you do much less impressive.
I come back to this video every once and a while and it is still amazing.
It's so heartwarming... Two favorite games from my childhood. Thank you for your beautiful work!
I think the most amazing thing is that this was done on normal Mario Paint, still sounding awesome.
Something I noticed is that each of the songs transitions very well. Good job TBB
This is an amazing tribute to one of the most amazing and lesser known series in Nintendo History. You have done an amazing job on it, and the award was well deserved. *Stamp of Approval*
The transition from Twoson to Pollyanna is superb
Oh man, I need to get on this contest. Thanks TomBob, I love this so much.
Earthbound was, indeed, announced for the VC. And there was much rejoicing. =)
Awesome stuff Tom, a true pleasure to watch/listen to as always.
You never cease to amaze me.
Your skill of avoiding all the chromatic problems are awesome.
there's no wonder that you won the contest!
Nice, the high notes mixed with low ones make a lovely combo.
TBB's got this contest wrapped up. Even his lesser videos get tens of thousands of views, and this is certainly one of his best. I know I'll personally be watching this again. 5/5 and favorited.
Fav part 1:40
My god i love the random cat and dog in the songs xD
wow thanks for this. really hit me with a bit of nostalgia. great stuff all around. feeling like i should give someone a hug now.
I seriously can't believe how amazing this was. Fantastic job and congrats on winning the contest :D
Watching you play Earthbound Zero was making me want to watch this over and over again.
You have written your way into EarthBound and Mario Paint history, my friend. 5/5 and favorite!
I realized today that I hadn't listened to this in a while, so I watched it again.
It's just as it always was: absolutely stunning.
Absolutely fantastic. You won the contest hands down with this piece of art.
AWESOME, thanks for the download link, i will now spend many happy hours listening to this over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over :)
3:11 is one of my favorite themes in video game history. Thanks for the post!!
A great video
Seriously, Earthbound was a perfect game. This brought a tear to my eyes. I loved Earthbound. Its still my favorite game ever. Well done. I applaud you. I'm speechless
S T O P S I N G I N G
This is beautiful... I really feel like I could a lot of your music in some way shape or form
Hahah, this is fucking awesome, man.

Thank you so much for this, sir. Excellent as always, and packed with nostalgia.
Very impressive man. Congrats on winning the PK Tube'N contest.
Go Starmen!
As always, an absolutely awesome job. This time combined with being a dedication to the supporters of Earthbound. Perhaps one day Nintendo will stop being short-sighted and release Mother 3.
Your musical adaptations are flawless. And when it comes to Pollyanna, I am EXTREMELY critical. Bravo!

Excellent medley one of my favorite soundtracks; good luck in the contest.
My favorite series for a reason :) Some games make me cry. Some make me smile, and some just grab my attention and keep me playing. MOTHER...did all of those things :') Thanks a ton TomBob, that really tugged at the heartstrings! Now excuse me guys, I'm going to go play EarthBound again.
You did a LOVELY job on this...! ^-^ I loved how the songs just seemed to flow together.
You're worthy of the first position. Seriously man, this one's touching.
dude, once again you amaze me. makes me want to do all my favorite video game songs on Mario paint. Fan-freaking-tastic!!!
well this is the best use of Mario Paint's music feature ever. Everyone else should just give up and go back to losing at battletoads since you've just won mario paint.
