Nintendo A Capella

Posted by Zonk on from the everything-good-comes-from-wisconsin dept.

Andrew writes "If you're a fan of the NES and `80s video games like me then this is too cool for words: A video of University of Wisconsin a capella ensemble Redefined performing Nintendo a capella. The file is a little large (about 47 megs) but definately worth the download."

    That while they claimed they were performing original Japanese music, the Tetris theme is based on a Russian Folk song (although I can't recall the name). -Diomedes

    The original Super Mario Bros theme was remixed into a capella in Super Mario Sunshine.

    But you know, Super Mario Sunshine didn't have music videos, and that one was... beyond compare :)

    We all know that this is the blindfolded pianist. And he has done far more impressive.

    Close. Actually there are about a dozen "official" recordings of this. The original theme was written by a composer for the studio, who then contacted a bunch of techno groups, got them to write their variations on it in exchange for a slot on the album they pressed -- which was a dozen variations on the Mortal Kombat theme. Created a lot of hype both for techno artists, the game, and the movie. Brilliant marketing.

    After Dr. Mario is the Hammer Brothers theme from Super Mario Bros 3, which leads right into the the Mario "Star" theme.
