This is something I couldn’t wait to share with y’all, this is one of the remixes I made for the Super Famio Trackers Collab Album, a project by The Famislackers(TM), led by Zerojanitor. To quote, “We are The Famislackers, a group of Famitracker-based chiptune musicians who collaborate on themed albums. Super Famio Trackers is a collab album comprised of covers of various songs from the Super Mario franchise.” It features such people as Zerojanitor (obviously), Dewey Newt, PulseBot, CriminalBunny, sen-pi & More.

Please check out the album and give a listen to my colleagues’ works as well, with a FREE/GRATIS/自由な download link here at:

When i was invited, I instantly knew what I wanted and it was the Battle Mode from Super Mario Kart on SNES. It’s a song that has some sentimental value to me because for reasons, it reminds me of me and my girlfriend in our early days and even when we were just friends, and its sort of decided between us that its “our song” when we hear it sometimes. I was meaning to cover it here and there through the years for that reason but I never got around to it, but with the collab i decided to pull through. As for the remix itself, as usual the balancing was really hard to get right, thankfully I got some help from people in the project (you know who you are ;) ) to help get it better than what I had it. I really hope that came out well, I still feel like the first part of the melody gets drowned out in the bass from the notes being so low. I added a flair from MK8DX’s version of the song after the first loop because I thought it was a really cool part. Since it’s a remix and we were told to have a definitive ending as opposed to fade out loops, I decided to speed it up to MKW’s speed of the final minute version and do the pitch change too and end it in that manner with a cool ending to it (the original one I had kinda sucked, thank god i was told to change it). I had lots of fun working on it and it was the first time I ever “made” my own DPCM samples (yeah I know laugh it up). I usually just ripped from NSF’s but after being provided files that supposedly had the Battle Samples but didnt, I just read a guide and ripped the proper sounds and made them into the FTI instrument, so that was a good learning experience.

I hope you enjoyed this remix I made, It was a bit stressful to work on to get it right but it was also very fun and hey its part of a collab project, that’s always fun to be part of a group of very talented individuals, so again please check out the album for the other’s work and you can download this song + the rest at the bandcamp link. Coming up soon, the second piece I made, stay tuned.
