Submission:
[NES] - EarthBound Zero - "Pollyanna" - SirGiggles


Woo I actually finished something, and I think I did well.

A rather easy arrangement, but hopefully it will be accepted.

I posted this on 5/05 but no one noticed until I bumped today...

Although someone else's arrangement of this song was already accepted

Mine's a bit different

tell me what you think anyways

Also Finished:
[NES] - EarthBound Zero - "Humoresque of a Little Dog" - SirGiggles

ohh this was already done... my bad

oh well

Under Repair:
[GBA] - Mother 3 - "Porky's Theme" - SirGiggles (not far from being done)
[SNES] - EarthBound - "Winters" - SirGiggles

New Stuff In Progress:
(In the off chance you wanted to know)
Overworld Theme 2 - EarthBound Zero
Mother 3 Love Theme
Twinkle Elementary - EarthBound Zero
Unfounded Revenge - Mother 3
Fire! - Mother 3
Twist and Battle - Mother 3

I like to work on multiple things at once

It's just how I am

I will continue to fix Porky's Theme as this is my first difficult arrangement and I'm not the best at it, I realize it's impossible at parts

I'm a noob to music so Pumpy_Heart gave me some major help over AIM. (thanks)
The adjustments he told me to make are currently being added.

Enjoy and Please Criticize





I'll go ahead and answer some questions you guys might have.


Q: What is Mother 3?
A: The sequel to EarthBound (the game Ness stars in), it stars Lucas (from Brawl)

Q: Why is it called Mother 3?
A: That's its Japanese name, it's named after a song by John Lennon

Q: The numbers don't quite match up... (Mother 3 /EarthBound 2)
A: That's because the first game in the series never left Japan

Q: What is the first game in the series?
A: Mother 1 was released for the NES, it almost hit the U.S as EarthBound.

Q: Almost?
A: Yeah Nintendo completely finished localizing,translating, and had an advertizing campaign prepared for the game, but by the time they were done they decided that the U.S. would not be interested because we already had the SNES

Q: Where is the English version now?
A: In 1999 a prototype of the game showed up on Ebay, a team called Demiforce "borrowed" it for 400$ and dumped it into a ROM, and added Zero to the title so there would be no confusion over the SNES game. So the game is now known as EarthBound Zero.

Q: How do I know it's not a fan translation?
A: Many features were added to ease the experience up that weren't in the original Japanese version, but then Mother 1 + 2 was released for the GBA in Japan and it added these features to the Japanese game.

Q: So why has Mother 3 not left Japan?
A: No one knows... Reggie Fis-Aime is even quoted in a video interview as being "bombarded" by Mother fans.

Q: Will it be available anywhere else?
A: Not sure, it is rumored that all 3 games will be released for the DS. Though a fan translation is in the process http://mother3.fobby.net/ and they update alot

(Includes comments from one of the team members who localized the game, Phil Sandhop, he has localized many titles including Super Mario 64)




And one final question for the EarthBound fans






****************** POSSIBLE BRAWL SPOILERS ******************








Q: In Brawl that EarthBound boss is clearly Pokey Minch, why was he called Porky?
A: That's his name in Japan, though it may have been retconned.

blimey, was all that necessary?


damn commies.

Gu4n

Ew, it's a mess. Especially the beginning. Clean it first please, contact me when you're done.

Gu4n

Hmm.. I'm not too fond of "Winters", too. It looks like you're copying+pasting everything straight from a MIDI-file..

I did use a midi for the staffs and then I fixed it up a bit to make it easier to play

though how can I fix it?

do tell

I really do want to know

I think it sounds exactly like winters

but that's just me

For example: the first two bars are crammed together, which is unnecessary and can be solved by clicking on them, as in: insert a new eighth note on the same spot (very simple and effective), do this throughout the sheet. Also, I find the bass pretty low, I'd rather hear them an octave higher. On the top of that, the bass-line is a typical one how you find them in MIDI-files, so I'd like to ask you to polish it a bit more. Like the one in the fourth measure for example, it sounds so.. grumpy. So good luck with fixing it!

SirGiggles

Alright well thanks alot man I really needed some advice

I'll definately be sure to put those changes in

I'd like to know which Pollyanna people think should go on the site.  They're different but of pretty much the same quality so should the current one stay or should this one go up?

HugoMeister

The reason they're different is because the midi starpikachu used wasn't entirely faithful to the original song. This one is closer to the original, although it needs a key sig. (D major)

So, I think we should use this one. Even pikachu says his is better.

See? :P

Nintendude73

Yes, I saw, I just wanted some more opinions, that's all.

If someone wants to add a key signature, go ahead.  Unless this was made with a 2007 Finale product, I can't.
