["Game Select" - [Xbox/GCN/PS2] Namco Museum]

Jake's Super-Ultra-Mega-Monster Melody Quiz is OVER!

This quiz that I hosted
Revolved around all the things I've ever posted.
People of NSM, the results are in!
Now... which one of you ended with the win?

(Oh, and shoutouts to Atcero for letting me use her results code to format mine lol.)

#1 (1/12)

"Game Select" - [Xbox/GCN/PS2] Namco Museum

Timestamp: 0:00

Okay, I'll be real: this one was put here to waste your time. A good chunk of people knew it was Pac-Man something something, but only Levi got it (but he used a release year hint to make things easier).

Hint: It's exactly what you think it is, but with more features (like the one MSF missed that one time).
*(When anyone asked what tune msf missed, I answered 'Galaga'.)

#1 sounds suspiciously like pac-man's game start theme
but it doesn't sound like any of the smash remixes

Well, you could ask for the release year. That could help
Maybe

i was getting to that
release date?

Sure thing, gotta get it from Msf I think (or was it Atcero?)
Okay
It's 2001/2002
But the year doesn't change per region (it's changes for some other variable)

"some other variable"
for pete's sake

Fine fine
Console spread
It was 2001/2002 after all

"Whisper and Mantra" - [SNES] Secret of Mana

Timestamp: 0:00

The snippet I used goes throughout almost the entire song. Might have to arrange this one since it's like 25% done with those 12 notes alone lol. Anyhow, as we will soon find out, y'all gotta play some classic SNES RPGs (I'm not saying that I don't as well, but... anyways).

Hint: *laughs in healing walnuts*

"Mermalair" – [Xbox/GCN/PS2] Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom

Timestamp: 15:22

Ok, guys, guys. I know this one is a bit obscure, but hear me out. Besides the fact that this game got remade last year, this song in particular is a heckin' BANGER. Also, this is where you'll see just how long ago I've been planting the seeds...

Only games I'd 100% more than once is like Battle For Bikini Bottom and Luigi's Mansion lol
https://youtu.be/WTX60iJvtvY

As long as we can agree that Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom for the Xbox was clearly the best version, I can live with GCN being the most powerful of the 6th Generation.

Hint: Title
I'm guessing nobody thought the title of my quiz was particularly strange, huh?

"Opening Stage" - [SNES] Mega Man X3

Timestamp: 0:23

DuuuUUUUuuuUuuUuUUUUuuUUuuuUudes...

you said levi got it right

Yep

hhhmMmmmmM very interesting
i have new ideas

Uh huh
Lmk how it goes
mwahahahahha

i shouldve probably looked here all along now that i think about it
AH I KNEW IT
it sounded familiar because it was in a submission recently
submitted by you
opening stage from mega man x3

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
WE HAVE A WINNERRRRRR
Now do you understand my anger lol

perhaps
i mean if you hadnt submitted it i probably wouldnt have found it again
i dont remember the x3 ost htat well

Hint: Your hint is that you don't get a hint. This isn't like a sort of riddle, you just don't get one. Can't hecking believe you right now smhmyhead. I mean, I guess my outrage counts as a hint, but still. This is coming from me.

(Lat, we listened to this like 30 times XD)

"Title" – [N64] Banjo-Tooie

Timestamp: 0:01

This is the melody that delayed this quiz for as long as it did. I felt like it just *had* to line up. Anyhow, how many of you remember me posting about my progress throughout the game?

Hint: Um, wait I got it- no, hang on- DANG IT! Look, I'm sorry, it's been a couple of years, ok? Just be glad we get to play it in the 2020s.

Guessed by:

• Nobody

Super Honorable Mention:

• Radiak
• Cashwarrior1

They knew the motif, they just couldn't find what song this was.

Also, shoutouts to Wah. He didn't take the quiz, but he thought my hints were... interesting.

interesting way to give hints
most people just say something flat like "N64" or something

yeah
msf and levi are not a fan lol

lol
i think it's amusing because it's cryptic for no reason

"Item Fanfare 3" – [SNES] Chronotrigger

Timestamp: 0:00

Gotta love the obligatory Chronotrigger reference. Play it. Now. STOP READING THIS AND GO-
I SWEAR IF YOU DON'T GRAB YOUR SNES OR DS RIGHT NOW-

*ahem*

Not a lot of people got it right, but a few recognixed it immediately.

Guess I'll pass the time with some Chronotrigger DS. BTW, who on Earth thought the Lost Sanctum was a good idea?

Hint: There's three of them in one of the quadrilateral's best games, and this is the third.

"Trap Phantasm" – [DS] Mega Man ZX Advent

Timestamp: 0:03

How many times do I need to reference the game and repost this banger before someone form the Discord can recognize it? More than ten apparently.

if i made a quiz, it'd have ZXA on there and only Dudeman'd get it
hint hint

And, sadly, Dudeman didn't take the quiz, despite there being three Mega Man songs (yes, three).

Ironically enough, the one person who participated outside of the Discord knew this one lol.

Hint: BRUH I HAVE SHOWN THIS BANGER LIKE 7 TIMES ALREADY LISTEN TO IT AAAAAA
Reminder: don't play it on the glockenspiel.*
*For those wondering, I tried to do this song for a live melody quiz, but my glockenspiel is... uh... loud.

"Main Theme of Super Metroid" – [SNES] Super Metroid

What a soundtrack man. Stellar stuff indeed. This had nothing to do with anything I posted, it was just for the classic gamers. Speaking of...

Hint: Smooth doesn't talk very often, does he?

#9 (2/12)

"Main Theme" – [Xbox] Halo: Combat Evolved

Timestamp: 1:44

... only two of you can truly call yourself a gamer.

Anyhow, this was the reason why I posted my brother's arrangement on MuseScore (well, besides the fact that I am the greatest and most humblestest big brother in the multiverse) which can be found here.
(That's what you get Atcero! No German for you!)

Hint: All rise.

#10 (5/12)

"Reminisce ~ DL-6 Incident" – [DS] Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Timestamp: 0:00

A tragic case, a somber song, within a crazy courtroom. If you haven't already, I highly recommend playing this series. Good times, good times.

Hint: Never riding an elevator in a government building.
Ever. Stupid parrot.

"Strago's Theme" – [SNES] Final Fantasy VI

Timestamp: 0:12

Okay, so, Final Fantasy VI? Great game. Soundtrack? HOLY COW DUUUUUUUDE. Anyways, why'd I choose this song in particular? Well, I have a WIP on my thread and I played it once during a performance night (where I didn't have a piano, so I just played back the file lol).

11. FF6 - Strago

... correct!
How did you know that one out of curiosity?

FF6 is one of my favorite OSTs! It's also the only FF game that I really know anything about. I know a small part of 7, but 6 is where my heart is at.
Tbh, I'm surprised more people DIDN'T get it.

Hint: I showed this once on a VC chat on NSM, but I can't remember when. Maybe I'm just getting old?

"Homer's Day" – [Xbox/GCN/PS2] The Simpsons Hit and Run

Timestamp: 0:04

This game was never mentioned by... well, anyone on the server. However, I thought it'd be a nice curveball, especially since I knew it's been used as background music in YouTube videos of the past.

Also, I was waiting for Levi or Trasdegi to find the missing 'a' in 'smart' to lead them to The Simpsons. Levi got it after a while, leading to a fantastic moment:

ahh, here it is
The Simpsons Hit & Run Soundtrack
homer's day
i am so smart
i am so smart
smrt
i mean
smart

AND both of them had the same method of thinking when I said that the hint was very deliberate.

Well, first letters of the first sentence make "tit mom hit", but I should probably look for something else :thinking:

Hint: This is the most obscure melody here, I think. Anyhow, us '00 to '05ers are too smrt for the others, right?

"DK's Treetop Temple" – [Wii] Mario Party 8

Timestamp: 0:01

It wouldn't be a melody quiz without an obscure Mario spinoff track! Levi was on fire and guessed just about every 'obscure imo' melody (missing only the BfBB track). Turns out, like me, his younger sibling(s) loved this game.

13 is DK's Treetop Temple from mp8

you
legend
i didnt think anyone was gonna get that

Hint: Please don't shake the soda like that...

"Sunshine Airport" – [Wii U] Mario Kart 8

Timestamp: 0:09

I knew that this track theme was one of the more well-known bits of the Mario Kart 8 OST, but... wow. This was not the one I expected the majority of people to get. I'll make it harder next time...

Hint: Not from 'vroom vroom here we go', but 3 after.

"Esper World" – [SNES] Final Fantasy VI

Timestamp: 0:02

Apparently, this song has multiple names, but I accepted all variations. Oh, yeah, this is also the second song from the same game on this quiz. The weird part? Not everyone who got one, got both. Crazy.

man, all this ffvi talk makes me want to finally arrange that one esper cave piece ive been thinking about
but nooooo finals ugh

Free tip: It's in 7/8

Honestly, I was shocked and happy that a bunch of you knew this OST. This theme always stuck with me, but I couldn't tell you why.

Hint: He sounds like Dracula sometimes, and loved a drum.

"And My Name's Booster" – [SNES] Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Timestamp: 0:00

Another SNES song! The instrumentation is just... mmm... so good. One of my favorite SMRPG tunes for sure. Sadly, this was only guessed by two people.

Hint: Not on the site, and a darn shame too... I rather like the jazzy themes of bearded weirdos.

"Opening Stage (Underground)" – [PS1] Mega Man 8

Timestamp: 0:07

Yes, I am that evil. Starts out sounding like Mario (which got a good chunk of you lol), then becomes... not Mario.

if this obvious melody is from the mega man games, then it's likely not from the mainline ones
those are the only osts i consider myself an expert in

wait 19 is the underground melody from smb

ahahahahahaha

no

Hint: It's not from Mario lol
Don't worry, if anyone used their hints here, I'd've given them a bit more to work with. Probably.

Alright lads, let's do this!

Welcome to the first (and hopefully not final) Melody Quiz a la Weegee. I'm your host, Jake_Luigi.

Over the course of this week (and perhaps the next as well, depending on how 'generous' I am), you will all be fighting for the chance to be named 'winner' of my quiz. What does this get you? Nothing really, unless the satisfaction of winning makes you happy. This lets me toy with your emotions, so whether you win or not really isn't my problem.

I know what you're all thinking: 'Dude. You're letting the power get to your head."
And you would be right! I like the sound of my own 'voice' in these circumstances. Anyhoo...

Here's how this'll work:
You go to the Dropbox link below and download the files that you feel are needed to complete the quiz.
After a listen, pm me your answers over Discord (or on here if you prefer, but I will not be checking as often).
I'll let ya know what you've gotten right and what is wrong.
If you don't know what it is, feel free to complain. It only makes me stronger.

After seeing how well it worked with Static's quiz, I'll be using my own hint system as well.

How the hints work:
Everyone starts out with 1 hint to even out the metaphorical playing field.
Hints will not deduct any points, HOWEVER, if there is a tie, it will be broken by the amount of hints used.
Getting 5 melodies will get you an extra hint.
Getting 10 melodies will get you an extra hint on top of that.
Getting 15 gets you nothing. Heck, you're probably gonna win if you have 15. Could be wrong though.
There are two secret tasks. If you complete one of them, you get a hint. Complete both within five minutes of each other? Two hints. Complete one and then the other much later? You still only get the one hint. There is potential for 5 hints.
And no, I'm not telling you what the tasks are. That would make them not secret. Duh.

Also, if requested, I may do an extra hint about how the quiz is structured (e.g. special order, omitted series, etc.) that will be sent to the Melody Quizzes channel.

I think that's it... so uh without further ado:

Quizzers, let the games...

"Opening Stage" by Jake_Luigi

Look, Gary, there I am!

But seriously, there's a great variety of fantastic sheets this update

If you really don't mind, then yeah you can make the change. Thanks Maelstrom

Files are updated as of 1/11/21
Well, at least I think. The page number on the .mus file might be a little wonky

Okay, NOW it should be all set.

2021 Update:
The .mid and .pdf files should be all good now.
.mus file has a few instances of ties not working and overlapping between layers. This should be resolved soon, but if anyone has any other pointers, feel free to add it to the thread here. Thanks again my dudes.

Thanks guys! I wasn't even aware this page existed (I thought there would be a notification on the NSM main site with a little number next to your name, y'know?) but I'm glad it does. I'll get right on it

and yeah, the uh, 10th interval was a stretch (literally), that one's on me lol

[Final Fantasy VI]

Hiya. If you're here, you must be really desperate for sheets, huh?

Um... feel free to listen, download, and give feedback. I mean, if you want. I can't/won't force you.

Thanks for dropping by.

I'm a simple man. I see Pursuit ~ Lying Coldly, I stop working on my English assignment that's due in 5 hours and listen to its majesty.

(Don't procrastinate, kids!)

This then begs the question:
Will the GBC version of Forest Frenzy from Donkey Kong Country finally get its own section?
(I mean... probably not. It's still just DKC. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Seriously though, love the updated system.

Hey Ninsheetmusic,

Six year fan, first time commenter. So glad after all this time you guys are still posting and rearranging these amazing OSTs. My taste in music wouldn't be the same without you and I thank you for your service. (Also, I can't wait to relearn Terra's Theme!)
