    Now that the game is no longer for sale - and we have jointly exercised our consumers' rights - we would like to leave you with one very important thought: Sometime in the future, you may have the opportunity to serve as a juror in a piracy case, or a so called "intellectual property infringement" case. It would be wise to remember the same people who would stop you from playing Super Mario 64 may be back next Direct to DMCA a skin, or even a romhack. If you can be told what you can download or change, then it follows that you can be told what to purchase or backup. Defend your consumers' rights; no developer will do it for you. Thank you so much for playing my game.

    It is 5am. You are driving in your red k-car down a pine forest road and the dawn spreads over the spires like quiet butter from god. Your passenger turns to you and says: Itsa me, Mario.

    You've literally played an Uno reverse card on us, and I fucking love it. Hope to see more versions of other songs like this!
  • @tacticaljunk1608
    I would've complained if this didn't feature an unsettling distorted vocal sample. Very well played.

    This feels like the ideal version of this song. How it was supposed to sound.

    Match made in heaven. Boards of Canada always had that same hazy watery vibe I associate with Dire Dire Docks
  • @ArloStuff
    This is the natural evolution of this concept and yet I find myself entirely surprised and enchanted by it. Also, this is one of my favorite video game tracks of all time, and I'm EXTREMELY picky about covers. Most of them don't do it for me. But this captures the spirit perfectly. Seriously amazing work you've done here.

    Was screaming in anticipation for the drum break, this is absolutely bonkers, stellar job dude
  • @chrismic8087
    Actually uncanny how through this soundfront I can 100% hear this theme being an original BOC song. Their sound is just magical
  • @mikeprinceof42
    Love this reverse take, you have whole new parallel universes to explore
  • @musene
    I never thought I'd hear on4word make a cover of a song where 64 games weren't the soundfont. But this is gorgeous <3

    The in-game version is breathtaking in it's own right but it's hard for me to surrender honestly to it as I associate the track with positive memories. Hearing this version, with the main melody of the track sounding like a Kid A/Boards of Canada underwater synth, I was brought to tears. In the video game medium, it's hard to separate the idiosyncrasies of the art from the fun that you're having when you immerse yourself in the virtual experience. However, if you step back and view this piece from an objective viewpoint, then you can start to dissect and consume it the way you would an album or film - what emotions does it evoke?. What kind of pain or feeling was the composer attempting to navigate when they wrote it? Where did they have to take themselves? An aquatic dreamland? A paradise where the sun is always setting? The embodiment of a fleeting happy memory - and the creeping feeling that things will never be the same again? Thank you for this thought provoking experience. Very well done.

    I’m glad I lived long enough to hear this. Thank you kindly musician person.
  • @DRUZYDAY
    I love this. Boards of Canada has a particularly mellow post-apocalyptic sound that is also calming and sweet, and I think you've nailed it here. If it's alright with you, I'd like to use this in my next video. :)
