2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the
Star Fox series. It's a series that's had its ups and, for the most part, downs, but there are still a few folks who revisit the reportedly neglected Nintendo franchise now and again to try to recapture what made it so special to begin with. Sure, there's the gameplay, characters, and so on, but I think the music is pretty iconic too, if not just catchy.
Star Fox 64 gave birth to series staples, such as the themes for Star Wolf and even
Star Fox itself.
If you kept up with NinSheetMusic's YouTube channel, you may have seen a couple of series anniversary videos for
Castlevania and
Kirby. Each of those had music from multiple games within their series. I'd like to edit together another video for
Star Fox, but looking over the list of available sheets, there are plenty of games and songs that are missing, which makes it a bit more difficult to do this video similarly. There's a bunch to arrange, not to mention replace, to make it work the way the others did, so I'm thinking of taking a different approach: using music only from the original game on the SNES.
This way, the workload gets cut down a ton and sort of makes a more focused celebration, taking you back to where the series all started. With all the medley and collection potential, I've deduced that a minimum of
15 arrangements would need to be made and submitted to finish the original
Star Fox's
soundtrack in its entirety with a few exceptions here and there(sound effects, mostly).
If I were to take on this by myself, it'd take around 8 months to get everything accepted, if there were no hiccups, which would mean it'd be done within the year, but I thought I'd ask for the help of the community on this one. If more people pitch in to arrange each of these, we'd have them all out before the anniversary's lost its relevance. If anyone would like to join in on this project, they can start by replying with tracks they'd want to claim to arrange. I'd prefer if everyone would only claim
2 at a time, so there are plenty of opportunities for other arrangers. Medleys and collections count as 1 claim on their own, just so there's no confusion. Feel free to collab with each other on them too, if you want! Thanks in advance for all of your help!
