Same

[WaluigiTime64]

:(

i... i uh... didn't realise the bonus ones were background accompaniment lines...

maybe if i had known i might've looked into them more...

[Trasdegi]

Four people submitted guesses, here's the second scoreboard update:

Most guessed melodies - update #2

#7=#9>#2=#4=#5=#6=#8=#10>#1=#3

[close]

I'll give some hints for the to last ones:

#1: From Pokémon. Kinda surprises me, but I maybe transposed m4-5-8-9 incorrectly (it was hard to tell which instrument had the melody there)

#3: Also from Pokémon, but from a far less played game (#1's game has been sold twice more in the first week than #3's game lifetime) so it doesn't really surprise me.

You have 8 hours left.

[WaluigiTime64]

You have 8 hours left.

this sounds more ominous than it was probably supposed to

[mastersuperfan]

Okay pretty sure the schedule's dead now

MSF ROUND 13(?)

There are 4 Mario melodies in this quiz. Kirby, Pokémon, and Zelda are all represented at least once. No other series besides those four may be repeated.

Good luck.

[WaluigiTime64]

Okay pretty sure the schedule's dead now

sorry not really sorry

[Trasdegi]

this sounds more ominous than it was probably supposed to

Yeah, lol.



Anyway, it's time for answers! 6 people have submitted guesses this time.

#1 - 0/6

"Driftveil Drawbridge" - Pokémon Black/White

Timestamp: 1:14 - 1:31

I was a bit surprised than no one guessed this, but maybe my transcription of what's the melody is at fault, so sorry if you didn't found it because of that.

#2 - 1/6

"Sogno di Volare - Title screen" - Civilization VI

Timestamp: 0:18 - 0:48

Thank you Yug_Guy for finding this one, one of my favourite title screen theme ever. This one wasn't nintendo, but was vgm.

#3 - 0/6

"Kyurem's Battle of Destiny " - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity

Timestamp: 0:28 - 0:44

Idk why but it's hard to find a good quality rip of this one on youtube. And yes, I put Gti in this quiz.

#4 - 3/6

"Main Menu/Map" - Hotel Mario

Timestamp: 0:12 - 0:24

This one is two times in the submissions, and yet only half of you found it. The section I picked probably didn't help.

Found by: mastersuperfan, WaluigiTime64, Static

#5 - 1/6

"Raymond Shields ~ Joking Motive" - Gyakuten Kenji 2

Timestamp: 0:51 - 1:06

Maybe combining a (officially) japan-only game not from the four big nintendo franchises with an obscure section wasn't the best idea.

Found by: mastersuperfan

[close]

#6 - 1/6

"Caves" - Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

Timestamp: 0:32 - 0:48

If you play this game, you probably would remember this one, because you hear it at sooo much places...

Found by: Latios212

[close]

#7 - 2/6

"Toad's Theme" - Luigi's Mansion

I picked this one because it's an "easy"-but-not-obvious mario one.

Timestamp: 0:03 - 1:18

Found by: ThatHiddenCharacter, mastersuperfan

[close]

#8 - 1/6

"Activity Log" - Nintendo 3DS

Timestamp: 0:40 - 0:56

And here's the facepalm one. This one is Nintendo but isn't vgm.Yes, 2 in reverse!

Found by: Latios212

[close]

#9 - 3/6

"The Wind is Blowing at Cavi Cape" - Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story

Timestamp: 0:45 - 1:04

For this one, I picked the best part IMO. Glad others remembered it, too.

Found by: ThatHiddenCharacter, mastersuperfan, Static

#10 - 1/6

"Victory Road" - Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver

Timestamp: 0:37 - 0:44

Yes, this is the victory road theme than no one remembers. And more, this section doesn't even exists in the original games.

"Knucklotec Battle" - [SW] Super Mario Odyssey

Timestamp: 0:38 - 0:50

Heard this music way too much while getting my ass whupped in the postgame rematch. This line's pretty dang cool.

#2 (1/8)

"Title Theme" - [Wii] Kirby's Return to Dream Land

Timestamp: 0:19 - 0:30

Also plays in some of the Cookie Country stages. Was intending for this one to be easy... perhaps not.

#3 (0/8)

"Aquarium Park Act 1" - [Wii] Sonic Colors

Timestamp: 0:43 - 0:54

Considering this is the most famous stage music from the game, I was hoping that this one would be guessed. I suppose I shouldn't have expected much after Casino Park Zone.

#3 sounds familiar tbh

#4 (3/8)

"Aquatic Ambiance" - [SNES] Donkey Kong Country

Timestamp: 1:23 - 1:36

One of the most well-known stage themes from the game. Good to see I'm not the only one.

#7 (1/8)

"Vs. Rayquaza" / "Defy the Legends" - [MUL] Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red & Blue Rescue Team

Timestamp: 0:45 - 0:53

Was definitely not intended to be a hard Pokémon melody, especially since it's appeared in three different PMD games (Explorers and PSMD as well). Maybe Dialga's theme is just too popular...

#8 (5/8)

"The Legendary Hero" - [GCN] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Timestamp: 0:21 - 0:34

This one's pretty iconic, and it shows.

#9 (4/8)

"Try, Try Again" - [3DS] Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

Timestamp: 0:14 - 0:28

Also a pretty famous one. Smash 4 helps. Wonder how differently this might have turned out if I'd picked one of the later melodies...

No, this is not from Mario Kart.

ive never played mario kart 7 or 8
but 9 sounds like it's probably from there

random guess but is 9 cheese land

#9 sounds like a Mario Kart theme for some reason--maybe a snow/winter course?

also i also feel like #9 is mk but it's probably not

#10 (1/8)

"Battle! (Lugia)" - [NDS] Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver

Timestamp: 0:39 - 0:50

Ho-oh's battle theme is undoubtedly more famous than Lugia's, so I was curious to see how many people would be able to recognize this one.

...Not many.

oh gosh what is 10
this is one of those I have definitely heard before but never stopped to think about
idk if I'll get it

"Koopa Troopa Beach" - [N64] Mario Kart 64

A little mean? Maybe. But it's a lot easier to hear in the MK7 remix, if that's any justification.

#12 (4/8)

"Lost in Thoughts All Alone" - [3DS] Fire Emblem Fates

Timestamp: 0:26 - 0:38

This one was intended to be a free point. And it was. For, like, half the participants. Oh well.

Yug Guy: #12 - Lost in Thoughts All Alone from gee, I wonder which game it could possibly be from...
mastersuperfan: very difficult
Yug Guy: the difficultest

#14 (2/8)

"Deep-Dive Deep" - [Wii] Kirby's Epic Yarn

A nice-sounding but underrated track. I actually like the later melodies in this song more but I was worried that nobody would get them if I used one of those.
