What if the super-catchy menu music from SNES Classic Edition (AKA the “SNES Mini”) … had lyrics? Would they sound like this? Well, they would if I wrote them!

The track is available on your favorite music app, and at https://brentalfloss.bandcamp.com

LYRICS:

SNES (BUT SMOL)
I’VE GOT SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT IT FOR Y’ALL !
TO BEGIN:

CHOOSE A GAME THEN PLAY THAT GAME
CHOOSE SOME FRICKIN’ BOX ART, AND PLAY THAT FRICKIN’ GAME
YOU WANNA TRY YOUR HAND AT STAR FOX 2?
IT’S NOT SUPER GREAT BUT HEY AT LEAST IT’S KINDA NEW

PAY RESPECTS TO MEGA MAN X (HELLO)
PLAY AS A MONKEY IN DONKEY KONG COUNTRY IT’S ALL KINDS OF FUN SEEING CANDY AND FUNKY AND AS YOU SEE, WE’VE GOT RPGS…
BUT ONCE AGAIN NO MOTHER 3? OKAY, LOOK…

YES IT’S COMPLICATED, COPYRIGHTS AND CONTRACTS,
LICENSES PAPERWORK AND CULTURAL CONTROVERSY
I KNOW IT’S NOT EASY, BUT HERE’S WHAT I’M SAYIN’:
TETRIS ATTACK AND MAYBE TURTLES IN TIME COULD BE SO NICE
FOR THIS DEVICE

(VERSE TWO)

MINI-GAMES, NOT MANY GAMES. LITERALLY “MINI,” BUT NOT THAT MANY GAMES

I MEAN LIKE 21, IT DOES THE JOB
HONESTLY I’M SALTY BECAUSE PILOTWINGS GOT ROBBED
CONTRA III IS TOO HARD FOR ME
LINK TO THE PAST IS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST, AND F-ZERO GOES FAST
BUT THE DREAM COURSE, I’LL PASS.
SURE IT’S CUTE. I DON’T GIVE A HOOT
AND CHRONO TRIGGER GOT THE BOOT?
COME ON NOW

HOMEBREW IS AN OPTION, BUT I’D RATHER LEAVE IT,
I COULD JUST PLAY EM ON THE SWITCH OR AN EMULATOR

JUST ONE MAN’S OPINION, YES AND HERE’S ANOTHER:
FF THREE / SIX ROCKS
BUT FINAL FANTASY IV’S MY FAVORITE GAME
DON’T @ ME
BYE.

Just to be clear about the “cultural controversy” line: I know there are elements of the English fan translation of Mother 3 that may be problematic or hurtful to the LGBTQ community, and I’m not sticking up for that. My point is that Nintendo could address the stickiness of localizing Mother 3 to English-speaking markets if they really wanted to, but they’re some combination of cowardly, lazy, or they selfishly refuse to put effort into something that might not turn enough of a profit to make it worth it for them, even if fans continue to clamor for it.
