@@JPs-q1o except the hud never read anything close to that. all of the vehicle stats in that game were in Km/hour, not miles. and 800 was only possible with boosts or jumps. the fastest non boosted speed was 478 Km/hour. which is significantly slower than 800 MPH
@@PeteZam I've only ever seen a car reaching 800+ km/h when using a boost, never a jump. A well controlled jump will increase the acceleration rate momentarily, helping the car reach non-boosted top speed faster, but it will not go past non-bosted top speed (which is indeed 478 km/h)
I'm a simple man. I see F-Zero? I click. I see a piano cover of Big Blue? I thumbs up. I see someone genuinely getting into the groove of 30 year old Nintendo tunes? I gotta leave a comment! Right on, friend! Excellent!
Big Blue slowed down enough on piano could probably get played in jazz cafe setting without anyone noticing that they're listening to some 90's SNES greatness 😅
Imo, they'd never know, but in its syncopation needs to "jazzing up" if you wanted to play it as a jazz piece. In its original form it is far too rigid.
There is actually a whole official jazz F-zero album that came out in 1990! A Japan only release, with pretty much every track theme from the original game.
The melody line of this song is SO GOOD and so long and complex. So many amazing composers did fantastic work back in the 80s for these games. There was no reason for them to make 16+ bar long melodies, then play them ONCE and jump into another 32 bar phrase... It really contrasts with today's 8 bar looped melodies. Hell, 8 bars is even long for today's music. And they did this on ancient bad synthesizers with 4 channels.
@@fireheartgames Not to be picky... "F-Zero was one of the launch games for the SNES that Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development had approximately fifteen months to develop completely. In Japan, only it and Super Mario World were initially available for launch." Since it was launched in November of 1990, it began development in the 80's.
If i ever hit the lotto, I'll pay you millions of dollars to make piano recordings of every SNES soundtrack from my childhood just because it gives me such joy to hear the way you play it.
you should come to a stream sometime, I have a songlist with 3000 songs on it, mostly VGM, and I read music like this all the time there! twitch.tv/karacomparetto
I love how Kara breathes as if she is a wind instrument player - this shows an understanding of musical phrasing and timing and is one of the marks of an excellent musician. She does this so intuitively I wonder if she even notices.
@@captainkirk4271 Can confirm in a similar sense with percussionists in marching band/drum corps. Breath control is vital to our rhythmic accuracy, and although the physical nature of the marching arts caters to it more than other musical environments, there's always funny looks on aspiring percussionists' faces when we include them in breathing exercises from the get-go lol.

Small bites, practiced for a while before taking another bite. This time next year you'll be shocked how much you've learned! It comes faster than you think.
I'm so amazed by sheet music players perfectly knowing which notes to hit with sheer skills like the iconic RUclips legend Tom Brier. I'm just a filthy guitarist who struggle to read sheet music but this video and you encourages me to dive deeper into sheet music readings and knowing my notes without tracking with my eyes better.
I fake a smile all day long, but today, I'm sitting here on my lunch break listening to this and watching you sight read. It was pure joy. I've never seen such a thing. Literally dropped my jaw. Your speed and precision on the keys translated directly into magic.
The live commentary ("Oh, crap!") and journey through the facial expressions inherent to stumbling through and mastering a new performance makes an already-great arrangement a lot more fun. Thanks for sharing!

Kara, you are an amazing pianist and nothing less! I'm so impressed with how you can make pieces of music your own and keep everyone so mesmerized with you! You are an icon! Keep on being amazing!
F Zero is some of the hardest videoo game music to play, just from the inherent complexities in notes and tempo, but you did a great job! Hope to see more scanning videos from you!
First she strolls, discovering, then the fingers pick up speed and she takes off. And all the while, her face radiating wonder and joy as she discovers minute details and the novelty of the composition. A pleasure to behold and listen to❤Bravo!
Love that you use your talent to show the complexity of 20-30+ year old video game compositions. It's a decades long art field that has been ignored until recently.
The entire series is worth checking out. X is the best for me personally. X has almost top tier heavy metal music, it fits the speed. The gba ones are also great. The music in these games almost always kills it.
@@jnnx thats what i want to know the game is hard but what difficulty are we talking here master is brutal expert is do able standard is well standard beginner is dead easy if you can already do expert
As a longtime fan of the fastest, most punishing racing franchise in the history of Nintendo, I thank you for playing this and I thank RUclips for recommending this gem to me.
Your ability to sight read and pick up is amazing. I don’t know how you’re able to reach the right tempo on your second attempt! Also, Big Blue is beautiful as a piano cover!
I am blown away! I am not a musician, but I have been a video game player for 40 years, and have known and loved this song since it was released at the end of 1991. The speed at which you learn to play it is incredible. I will watch more for sure!
It's crazy to see an actual, trained pianist freaking out over the complexity of an arrangement when the original music was composed with math and sine waves on its native hardware. Retro music is absolute witchcraft.
only really early video game music had to be programed in code! Later on they could use more standard keyboards and sequencers to write it. Still is great music!
if the sheet music is a million pages long I might be content with one play through until the next time, but with only two pages I knew I could do better xD
You played so great!!! F-Zero is one of my favourite games of all times and you have already made a huge tribute. When you do even better it would be amazing. Can't wait!!!
The F-Zero soundtrack is what inspired me to get into electronic music! Great work! One of the unique things about the arrangement on the original game is the portamento sort of pitch bends into certain notes. Gives the song a lot of momentum. You simulate the bends really well on the piano!
This is absolutely beautiful. *Amazing* job. There are so many original retro compositions I could recommend, but sincerely… Thank you for this. I just found this video and now I’m going to do myself a favor by diving into your channels uploads❤

@@KaraComparetto Nope but I've heard about Undertale, didn't have much time to play 😁 It's always a pleasure to discover anyway! Huge fan of Fire Emblem!
Some of my favorite old-school game music. I am always amazed by your ability to sight read and play things like this on your first try. I first noticed your amazing sight reading when you flawlessly played the ending theme to Final Fantasy VI one one of your early live streams, and that was your first time ever seeing it or hearing it. Your skill is mind blowing, and so inspirational! Thank you for all of this awesomeness.
Thank you Logan! That sight read was another classic for me- a fun introduction to the ending theme to FFVI. Since then I've played the game and love it! F-Zero was a childhood game of mine :D
F-ZERO is one of my favorite franchises from Nintendo. Since F-ZERO GX I have longed for a new true installment on home consoles that could give me that over the top adrenaline pumping racing that pushed me to my limits on the master difficulty with the amazing music tracks and speed. I got goosebumps while listening to this and it made me emotional because it reminded me of all the hours I have played all the games and from when I discovered F-ZERO by pure accident when I bought my first used N64 in 2004. Thank you for playing one of my favorite music tracks from the franchise.
Loved this piece back in 1992, coming through my TV speakers! Sounds so incredibly good from the piano. Such a lovely piece of music. Imagine being able to sight read that! Amazing skills.
I just discovered this as this is one of my all time favorite tune, and you nailed it so damn well. Great job, will be listening to more! Gets me wanting to get back into really learning the piano, such an amazing instrument.
I have no idea who you are, but this video came up in my RUclips suggestions, you look like someone I used to know, and you played the absolute living hell out of this song! You've earned my sub. Great work!
HAHAHHAHA thank you so much :) Hope you enjoy all the content! Just released a great DKC2 set if you haven't seen it yet, and working on undertale and final fantasy right now!
This made me soo happy. Honestly one of the greatest game soundtracks of all time. You should definitely explore the rest of the tracks. What a treat thank you ! :)
Holy shit. This is a throwback I didn't know I needed. Omg thank you for doing this and thank you youtube algorithm, you finally did something right, for once. I have so many requests. I have to think about it.
just stumbled on your channel and watching you work through playing one of my favorite game songs was way more entertaining than I expected. Great job on learning that tune. I think I might try to learn it myself.
Such INTENSITY!! I would've bet my soul that parts of your video were playing in fast-forward... But I continued watching in pure awe, as I quickly realized the truth. Please stay the path you're currently on. You'll continue to brighten moods and bring smiles to countless people.

The number HUD says 800 MPh, the rendered animation suggests much less.

I grew up on Big Blue, so this is very nostalgic for me. This and Mute City.

you should come to a live stream sometime! I learned some fun ones yesterday, like Flash Man from Mega Man 2 XD Also a really crazy anime song, it's always a fun time!
It was powerful. Following you instantly! So many memories from my childhood with this theme in the background :3
Thank you!
thank you Anthony!! :) not sure if you're a tier or undertale fan but we got some of both coming in the future, also something from mega man kinda like this one :D
@@KaraComparetto Nope but I've heard about Undertale, didn't have much time to play 😁 It's always a pleasure to discover anyway! Huge fan of Fire Emblem!
Some of my favorite old-school game music. I am always amazed by your ability to sight read and play things like this on your first try. I first noticed your amazing sight reading when you flawlessly played the ending theme to Final Fantasy VI one one of your early live streams, and that was your first time ever seeing it or hearing it. Your skill is mind blowing, and so inspirational! Thank you for all of this awesomeness.
Thank you Logan! That sight read was another classic for me- a fun introduction to the ending theme to FFVI. Since then I've played the game and love it! F-Zero was a childhood game of mine :D
Your phrasing is really good. Really captures the spirit of the track
man.. when the nostalgia hits even I am allowed to shed a tear or two. great playing!
F-ZERO is one of my favorite franchises from Nintendo. Since F-ZERO GX I have longed for a new true installment on home consoles that could give me that over the top adrenaline pumping racing that pushed me to my limits on the master difficulty with the amazing music tracks and speed. I got goosebumps while listening to this and it made me emotional because it reminded me of all the hours I have played all the games and from when I discovered F-ZERO by pure accident when I bought my first used N64 in 2004.
Thank you for playing one of my favorite music tracks from the franchise.
Love this story, thank you for sharing
Yooooooo!! This is/was amazing! You alwways look like youre having so much fun figuring music out. It's such s high light!
@@enhasa5653 I was!! 😂😂❤️
Absolutely fire! Keep it up! Can't wait to see you do something like "Together We Ride" from Fire Emblem.
Lol I literally never thought about a piano arrangement of an F Zero song. But this is so sick. Nice job!
This is my favourite video by you, you're so talented! :)
I love how much joy you derived from that. One of the best songs from the SNES library.
Loved this piece back in 1992, coming through my TV speakers! Sounds so incredibly good from the piano. Such a lovely piece of music. Imagine being able to sight read that! Amazing skills.
Love it! Played this game so much and loved the sound track, very nostalgic.
Holy crap, dude. This is seriously impressive
I just discovered this as this is one of my all time favorite tune, and you nailed it so damn well. Great job, will be listening to more! Gets me wanting to get back into really learning the piano, such an amazing instrument.
It's so awesome seeing you get in that zone where you just absolutely kill it🙂♥️ This is in my top 5 SNES songs and you nailed it 🙂♥️
its crazy how great all these songs they made for NES and SNES actually were. what a cool thing to watch
It's fascinating watching the focus in your eyes while you play. You're very talented, I'm sure your family is so proud of you.
people tell me I have crazy eyes when im sight reading XD
I have no idea who you are, but this video came up in my RUclips suggestions, you look like someone I used to know, and you played the absolute living hell out of this song! You've earned my sub. Great work!
HAHAHHAHA thank you so much :) Hope you enjoy all the content! Just released a great DKC2 set if you haven't seen it yet, and working on undertale and final fantasy right now!
Thanks for the request and also for playing this song. It's awesome. You made it excellent.
This made me soo happy. Honestly one of the greatest game soundtracks of all time. You should definitely explore the rest of the tracks. What a treat thank you ! :)
I have, on my streams! have played a lot of other F-zero songs, though I dont think ive played all of them yet!
@@KaraComparetto Awesome! I'll have to check out your streams :)
Holy shit. This is a throwback I didn't know I needed. Omg thank you for doing this and thank you youtube algorithm, you finally did something right, for once.
I have so many requests. I have to think about it.
I get recommended videos from this channel fairly often, but this ambitious piece made me sit up and take notice. I expect I'll be back more often
see you around!!
This is one of my favourite video game songs of all times. Such feels and nostalgia
just stumbled on your channel and watching you work through playing one of my favorite game songs was way more entertaining than I expected. Great job on learning that tune. I think I might try to learn it myself.
THANK YOU!! I hope you give it a shot!
Seems like you fell in love with it (to a degree) as we all did as kids, all those years ago.
Beautifully played. This was really fun to watch :)
Incredible. First time finding your channel and I'm already a huge fan.
thank you Adam!! There's lots for you to explore :) hope you like Undertale because that's the next "big" one im gonna share :D
Such INTENSITY!! I would've bet my soul that parts of your video were playing in fast-forward... But I continued watching in pure awe, as I quickly realized the truth.
Please stay the path you're currently on. You'll continue to brighten moods and bring smiles to countless people.
THANK YOU!!
