[WaluigiTime64]

Alright to it's time to reveal scores once again. 9 people participated this round.
Also only one person directly stated that they knew the theme/gimmick thing for this round that was correct. For everyone else, it should be obvious in the answers.

#1 (Super Mario Bros.)

Cursed Kings - Super Mario Bros. 3:

Also accepted answers:
 - "Rescued King"
 - "King's Room"
 - "Kang's Room"
 - " It's from SMB3, and it plays when you go into the place thing and the toad says "HEY IT'S TERRIBLE THE KING HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A FUCKING LIZARD" or when you defeat the koopaling and fall down and then the"
 - "when you talk to the king dude guy"

Tried to pick an well-known but still somewhat tricky early Mario piece for the first one. Cool thing 7 people got it.

#2 (Touhou Project)

Love-Coloured Master Spark - Touhou 8: Imperishable Night:

Also accepted answers:
 - "Love-colored Master Super Fan Spark"
 - "that's the music that plays during marisa's fight in TH8, i prefer fighting reimu though her spell cars are more interesting"

A popular Touhou song. Picked this because we're honestly running out. Good thing 4 people got this, while that's still possible.

[close]

#3 (Mega Man)

Snake Man Stage - Mega Man 3:

Also accepted answers:
 - "extrem sneks"
 - "sounds like something dudeman would know. no step on snek"

Popular Mega Man piece. Also I got a sheet of it on-site not too long ago lol. Best part is that I robbed it from MSF after he robbed me. Anyway, 5 people got it.

[close]

#4 (DuckTales)

The Amazon - DuckTales:

Also accepted answers:
 - ""The eBay" - DankTales"

Yet another popular song. I realised no one had put this one in a quiz yet and I found that weird. Sadly only 1 person got it anyway so whatever lol.

[close]

#5 (Mario Kart)

Waluigi Pinball/Wario Stadium - Mario Kart DS:

Also accepted answers:
 - "WAAAAAAH"
 - "WAHluigi Pinball"

Wah. 7 people got this.

[close]

#6: (Kirby)

Peanut Plain - Kirby Super Star:

Also accepted answers:
 - "Peanut Butter"

The first section of this song is super popular and would've been way too easy, so I picked the other bit. Worked on most people except 3.

[close]

#7: (Yoshi)

Story Music Box - Yoshi's Island:

Also accepted answers:
 - "that's the story music box thing from yoshi's island. also known as Госуда́рственный гимн Росси́йской Федера́ции"

A really easy one. Just wanted to pick an easy Yoshi song lol. Unsurprisingly 7 people got it.

[close]

#8: (Pikmin)

Forest of Hope - Pikmin:

Also accepted answers:
 - "The Forest of Despair"

Tried for an easy Pikmin one. Worked for the most part, if 5 people have anything to say for it. Also yes, I did use a part between two phrases because I do what I want.

[close]

#9 (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Marble Zone - Sonic the Hedgehog:

I was going to use this in another quiz but I replaced it with Starlight Zone, because it was slightly more popular. Clearly so, as only 2 people got this one.

[close]

#10: (Super Smash Bros.)

Final Destination - Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

Also accepted answers:
 - "AHHH PLEASE MAMAAAAAAAAA GIMME THE BOOOOOOOOOZE SO WHAT'S IT 'SPOSED TO MEEEAAAAAN IF I PEE A TSUNAMIIIIIIII"

It worked. I picked the first bit that people would find difficult to notice and I managed to trick everyone. Except 2 people apparently.

[close]

#11: (Pokemon)

Heavy Rainfall - Pokemon Sapphire Version:

Also accepted answers:
 - "Heavy Rain"
 - "7.8 out of 10 too much water"

Here's for the Pokemon nerds. Except it isn't hard at all. 4 people got this one.

[close]

#12: (Donkey Kong Country)

Theme - Donkey Kong Country:

Also accepted answers:
 - "Title Theme"
 - "Theme (of)"

I picked any other part of the song there likely would've been a drastic change in the amount of correct guesses. At least 3 people got it.

[close]

#13: (Super Mario Bros.) (FLIP)

Rightside Down Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2:

Also accepted answers:
 - "Upside Dizzy Galaxy"

This was a tough choice. I was actually considering Flipside from Super Paper Mario but I decided on something I figured was trickier. Didn't stop 3 people.

[close]

#14: (Donkey Kong Country)

K. Rool Returns - Donkey Kong Country 2:

This is where things start to get tricky (sort of maybe idk). I mean, only 1 person got this, so that should say something.

[close]

#15: (Pokemon)

Drought - Pokemon Ruby Version:

Also accepted answers:
 - "7.8 out of 10 not enough water"

This is where the theme/gimmick should've been noticeable if you could get them. You could also shrug it off as me being weird lol. 5 people got this one.

[close]

#16 (Super Smash Bros.)

Ending ~ Staff Roll - Super Smash Bros.:

Also accepted answers:
 - "Credits"

Reluctantly accepted answers:
 - "Final Destination (Melee)"
 - "No Items, Fox Only"

Welp. I go for one song and hope that people don't pick the other one but half of them go with the other thing anyway. Not that this was hard though. 6 people got this.

[close]

#17 (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Tropical Resort - Act 1 - Sonic Colours:

I dunno. I just like this song lol. I figured it would be somewhat-known, but only 1 person knew.

[close]

#18: (Pikmin)

Valley of Repose - Pikmin 2:

A nice song. Sadly only 1 person got it.

[close]

#19 (Yoshi)

Hotfoot Hurdle - Yoshi's New Island:

Was hoping someone else knew this wonderful song. Shame. Please listen to it. It sounds like Spongebob music and I think that's great.

[close]

#20 (Kirby)

Title Screen - Kirby's Adventure:

Also accepted answers:
 - "Title"

It sounds like Kirby but it's a song that often gets looked over. 1 person remembered straight away, 1 person remembered later, and 1 person went through most of the soundtrack looking for it.

[close]

#21 (Mario Kart)

MSF got this and lol'd. It's an in-joke mostly, but I also wanted a difficult Mario Kart one.

[close]

#22 (DuckTales)

Money Bin - DuckTales: Remastered:

;_;

[close]

#23 (Mega Man)

We're the Robots (Dr. Wily Stage 2) - Mega Man 9:

A reasonably popular song actually, at least within the fandom. It's obvious which 1 person got this.

[close]

#24 (Touhou Project)

Love-Coloured Magic - Touhou 2: Story of Eastern Wonderland:

Also accepted answers:
 - "Love-Colored Music"
 - "now whoa there sonny i prefer touhou music from REAL touhou games unlike that PC-98 trash. to all those mima fanboys out there COME AT ME BRO fuck you now which game is this from again? i'm guessing TH2"

Honestly I was expecting this to be the easy one from the flipped end, especially considering it sounds the same as #2, just to confuse people who didn't know, as well as give away the theme/gimmick. Sadly there was no one to point and laugh at for only getting #2. 4 people got this.

[close]

#25 (Super Mario Bros.)

Wooded Kingdom - Super Mario Odyssey:

Yep. This is the hard Mario melody. I just really like this song lol.

Never mind. Answers now.

Answers and Results!

The results of this quiz were certainly... interesting, to say the least. It seems that this quiz ended up being a lot harder than I intended. Four people got a higher score than last time, five people got a lower score than last time, and one person got the same score. However, the average score ended up being about a solid point below last round's score.

Regardless, the quiz could've turned out worse, at least. Of the 25 melodies, 21 of them got guessed, which is a pretty solid improvement over last time. And without further ado... the answers and results!

Requested Hints (4)

• #3: From one of the four main series. DS game.
• #6: From one of the four main series. Plays in one of the first few levels/areas in the game. The melody I transcribed comes right after the super famous part.
• #9: From one of the four main series. Plays during the final boss battle. (Apparently not nearly as recognizable as I thought.)
• #24: Not from one of the four main series. Not playable on a Nintendo system, either. Battle theme. Played by a violin section.

EASY

Easy section. Easy melodies (relatively speaking, at least). Not much to say here, though it seems like this section was a tad harder than last time's.

#1 (8/10)

"Opening Theme" / "Title Screen" - [Wii] Wii Sports (Miscellaneous #1)

Timestamp: 0:05 - 0:13

Also in: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Good to see so many people get this one. It was nice knowing there was at least one melody in here that plenty of people could get. (Mael, you forgot to pick up your free point. Again.)

By the way, when I was listening to this on YouTube, I looked in the sidebar and found... something interesting.

(I went to Wii Sports, realized it was Wii Fit, then realized it was Wii Sports.)

"Dr. Wily Stage 1" - [NES] Mega Man 2 (Miscellaneous #2)

Timestamp: 0:32 - 0:40

Also in: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Well, that was a... startlingly low number of people who recognized this one. Isn't this really iconic? The most well-known Mega Man track ever? The one that even those who haven't played Mega Man have heard countless times? The one so obvious that Dudeman even complained about it being too easy?

No?

Levi aside, since he wasn't here for Wah's round, more people got Snek Man than this. That's kind of sad.

Nice using the 6 bar phrase though.
That's exactly what I did too.
Now I have to change it like dang it why.

(come on, man, if you're gonna use Mega Man don't pick the most famous one of all time)

(Yay for world renowned Megaman themes that even people who have never heard of the series know!)

#3 (6/10)

"Battle! (Team Galactic)" - [NDS] Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Versions (Pokémon #1)

Timestamp: 0:13 - 0:23

Also in: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Hint: From one of the four main series. DS game. (requested by ThatHiddenCharacter)

These guys are idiots. And they have some really stupid-looking haircuts. But at least they have a cool battle theme.

Naturally, I put this one near the front since it has a remix in Brawl that plays during the Subspace Emissary. It seems that most people weren't even aware of that, though...

(Thanks, Brawl!)

I only knew this one because I happened to stumble across it looking for another Pokemon melody on another quiz.

Luckily, Diamond (and Platinum) is one of the few Pokémon games I own.

"The Great Sea" - [GCN] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Zelda #1)

Timestamp: 0:27 - 0:41

Also in: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

The theme you hear for hours and hours and hours on end while playing Wind Waker. Unless you own Wind Waker HD like I do in, which case you only hear it for hours on end.

But with such a great track as this, who can complain?

"Serenade of Water" - [N64] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Zelda #2)

Timestamp: 0:00 - 0:17

Also in: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Brawl

For some strange reason this is one of the only warp songs, as well as Bolero of Fire, that I still remember off the top of my head after not having touched Ocarina of Time for years. But I sure as hell didn't like the Water Temple itself as much...

There was actually a surprisingly big discrepancy between the competitors who recognized The Great Sea and those who recognized this one. To my surprise, only Dudeman and Yug_Guy got them both. I think there were a couple people who should've known #4 that missed it...

"Venturing into the Mechanised World" / "Patched Pathway" - [3DS] Kirby: Planet Robobot (Kirby #1)

Timestamp: 0:28 - 0:40

Hint: From one of the four main series. Plays in one of the first few levels/areas in the game. The melody I transcribed comes right after the super famous part. (requested by WaluigiTime64)

NOBLE HALTMANN, WE ADORE HIM. NOBLE HALTMANN, WE ADORE HI--

Wait, wrong part. Oops.

Key-wise, this section goes nuts.

God, why does #6 sound so familiar?
Even with the hint I'm still trying to place it
I'm just trying to use process of elimination here
I already have 3/4 Pokémon songs, and it doesn't really sound like it's from Pokemon
so it can't be that
Doesn't sound like it's from Zelda
And why would you put 3 Zelda songs in the easy section?
And it doesn't really sound like it's from Mario
Unless there's something from Sunshine/Galaxy that I don't know
So I think it's from Kirby?
But then where is it from?
And how the hell do I recognize it?

Hint helped a lot, thanks.
I should've gotten this one for the same reason as #17 too frick.
#6: Patched Pathway (Plains Area 1) - Kirby: Planet Robobot
No wonder I knew it.
Also my suspicions that it was a Kirby song were right.

#7 (3/10)

"Dire, Dire Docks" - [N64] Super Mario 64 (Mario #1)

Timestamp: 1:17 - 1:27

It's a bit more difficult to recognize when I take out the bottom note of the dyads, isn't it?

Still, color me surprised that only a few people got it. Dudeman, Static, and Wah are the true Mario music masters here, everyone.

(It's kind of sad that I have to say that regarding the easiest Mario melody in this quiz. While the trickiness was intentional to balance out the easiness of the Mario melodies in the last quiz, perhaps this one was a tad too difficult...)

Also #7's rhythms throw me off so much.

"Abandoned Ship" - [GBA] Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire Versions (Pokémon #2)

Also in: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

For some reason this was one of the themes I listened to the most when I was a kid. I think I got the impression that this theme was somehow super famous, but looking back I don't really think that's the case. Either way, it appears that it's still quite recognizable to any good Pokémon fan.

8 is a pokemon thing i think i just did some searching and it's the abandoned shit from R/S/E

#9 (1/10)

"Adventure's End" - [3DS] Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (Mario #2)

Timestamp: 1:14 - 1:35

Hint: From one of the four main series. Plays during the final boss battle. (Apparently not nearly as recognizable as I thought.) (requested by InsigTurtle)

Turns out that In the Final from Inside Story is so hugely famous that it completely overshadows any fame that this theme might have gotten. Which is really a shame, because I like this one a lot more.

But seriously, how did In the Final get seven correct guesses while this one didn't even get a single one until the hint?

mastersuperfan: still want the hint for #9?
InsigTurtle: yeah

...The answer is only one, my friends. There are no surprises as to who it is.

HOW DO SO MANY OF YOU NOT REMEMBER THIS ONE THIS THEME IS SO HAPPY

I thought it'd give off a huge Kirby vibe, at the very least, especially considering that it sounds rather similar to Floral Fields (also referred to as Fine Field) from Triple Deluxe. If you go look at the comments section, that's literally what half the comments are saying.

LeviR.star: 14. [3DS] Kirby: Triple Deluxe "Fine Field?"

I didn't find this song particularly great when I first heard it, but it's definitely grown on me, I must say. I intentionally picked this one because I thought it gave off a huge Pokémon vibe, especially in that last measure, but it doesn't look like it helped anyone.

B2W2 is really just so unpopular, it seems. I swear I could use the goddamn Champion battle theme and nobody would get it. I'll admit I probably shouldn't have expected this one to get guessed...

PECK YOUR BEAK! WAH WAH WAH

Rhythm Heaven melodies would typically go into the Hard section, I imagine, but this one got shifted to the Medium section due to its appearance in Smash 4. Which didn't actually help anyone get it.

Yug Guy: Y'know, the 3rd measure of #16 onwards kinda sounds like the Brady Bunch theme
mastersuperfan: I have no idea what that is
Yug Guy: ...
Yug Guy: ...you've never heard of the Brady Bunch?

Yug Guy: ...the cheesy sitcom from the 70's that everyone remembers?

mastersuperfan: you live in the 21st century

Yug Guy: That's irrelevant

If I put T O D O K E T E into my melody quiz a second time.

Just a passing thought. Think nothing of it.

As you can tell, the "Hard" refers to more than one thing.

AND FOR THE FIFTH ANNUAL NSM SUPERLATIVES, THE TWO WINNERS OF THE AWARD FOR "MOST LIKELY TO BE A CLOSET ANIME FAN" AAAAARE...!

you absolute goddamn madman why do i even freaking bother with these quizzes

mastersuperfan: actually only you and one other person have it
mastersuperfan: and it took the other person over a day to figure it out
Dudeman: wooowwwww
mastersuperfan: I'll admit I'm surprised as well
mastersuperfan: not everyone's as much of an anime fan as you are Dudeman
Dudeman: SH-SHUT UP
Dudeman: THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
Dudeman: B-B-BAKA

Oh boy #17 is familiar.
#17 is really familiar but I can't get it right now.

it's killing me
it's legit tearing into me

It's going to be something I won't expect I swear.

No wonder Dudeman got it so easily.

"Cyan's Theme" - [SNES] Final Fantasy VI (Miscellaneous #6)

Timestamp: 0:40 - 1:05

This theme is cool and this guy is honorable and badass. The only problem is that he's totally useless in battle, but... it's only a minor setback, you know?

"Secret Maze On The Sea Of No Return" - [GBC] The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (Zelda #4)

Timestamp: 0:00 - 0:10

Also in: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

Can't go wrong with a nice and simple 5/4 track. Here, Dudeman. Have a free point. Because you totally needed it.

Upon receiving Dudeman's submission I discovered that this track also plays in Oracle of Seasons. Strangely, though, there are almost no videos of it under the Seasons name; the one I just tacked on in the link above was the only one I could even find...

"Secret Path" - [3DS] Kirby's Blowout Blast (Kirby #4)

Timestamp: 0:28 - 0:39

The Blowout Blast soundtrack mostly consists of remixes from Kirby's Dream Land tunes. In fact, this one's no exception; it's actually a remix of the KDL Ending theme. It's pretty hard to figure that out with only the part I transcribed, though.

I expected two people to recognize this one, actually. In the end, nobody got it. Looks like this path is just too much of a seekrit.

Kirby's Blowout Blast is getting released on July 4, 2017 in Japan and July 6, 2017 elsewhere! Time to raid the plot and music then...

You didn't raid it quite enough, I see...

LeviR.star: why don't you ever pick anything from the spinoffs?

Shoutout to the Eeveelution 3DS Home Menu theme!

I totally forgot this place existed, actually. I never went here.

...How does this get two guesses while Humilau City gets none?

I heard it and just went,
"This is definitely from Pokémon"
From there it was just a matter of figuring out which game it was from
and then looking up its OST

"Leap the Precipice" - [XBOX360] Eternal Sonata (Miscellaneous #8)

Timestamp: 1:33 - 1:45

Hint: Not from one of the four main series. Not playable on a Nintendo system, either. Battle theme. Played by a violin section. (requested by Dekkadeci)

Shoutout to Mario Kart YouTuber TWD98 for using this awesome track in his videos!

Has anyone else heard of this game? I doubt it. Buuuut I was hoping one person might get it...

Believe it or not, this is composed by Motoi Sakuraba. Y'know, Motoi Sakuraba, progressive rock composer, composer of the Dark Souls and Golden Sun soundtracks, arranger of that heavy metal version of "Gourmet Race" in Super Smash Bros. Brawl? That Motoi Sakuraba.

Yeah, you know? That Motoi Sakuraba.

Yeah, #24 just isn't coming to me for some reason, even after listening to some GaMetal (I first suspected it to share a piece with a GaMetal remix).

I keep hearing #24 in B flat minor in something like an electric guitar for some reason...

Dagnabbit, no wonder I thought #14 and #24 of mastersuperfan's quiz sounded so familiar--I had listened to both of them before! (And #24 does contain a B flat minor version of that melody, too...dang me searching Final Fantasy soundtracks for #24...and I was starting to suspect #14 was from Mario or Kirby...)

HIGH-QUALITY SURVEILLANCE

Also, I challenge your "most badass generic boss theme in existence" with this gem from the probably least-played Mega Man game in existence. For the GameCube. Yeah, that happened once.

[LeviR.star]

Blowout Blast doesn't have much original music to it, but I have attempted Secret Path. Still need to beat it, though; it's way harder than I expected it to be.

[WaluigiTime64]

Also, I challenge your "most badass generic boss theme in existence" with this gem from the probably least-played Mega Man game in existence. For the GameCube. Yeah, that happened once.

Wait, isn't that the platformer spinoff of the RPG spinoff of the platformers?

[Dudeman]

Why, yes! It's also incredibly ugly and painful to look at! The soundtrack is godly though.

[Dekkadeci]

Here's my fifth Guess-The-Song Quiz:
[PDF] | [MIDI] | [MUS] | [MSCZ]

The MUS is readable in Finale, including Finale Notepad. The MSCZ is readable in Musescore. All other files are based on the original MSCZ, not the MUS--this explains why the PDF doesn't look like the MUS.
The MUS may display and/or play back bugged. The MSCZ, MIDI, and PDF shouldn't.

The bonus section is back (quite possibly for the last time for me)! This round, each melody in the bonus section is from a song that was either written for a video game series but not for any of its games (and they never appear in a game), or they weren't written for any video game series but they appear in one and are prominently associated with that one. All such melodies are labelled #1b through #4b. I will reveal separate tallies for the main section, the bonus section, and both sections combined when I post the results.

This quiz is likely easier than each of my previous two quizzes, though don't feel too bad if you only get one or two! PM away!

You can PM answers to me until Wednesday, August 2 at 5:00 PM MDT (a.k.a. Thursday, August 3 12:00 AM forum default time). I will not count any submissions made after that time, as I'll be too busy tallying results.
Results will be posted shortly afterwards.

Some guidelines for answering, how the melodies are transcribed, and what counts as a correct answer--oh yeah, and some hints right off the bat:

• You may submit YouTube links/videos instead of game name-song name/best known use pairs.
• All tempos are approximate.
• Like last time, I will mark unambiguous songs with the right melody in the right key as correct. If your guess has the right melody in the wrong key, I will mark it as incorrect but PM back that you were close. You can freely guess again until the deadline.
• I may not have gotten octave voicings correct in this quiz. If you think you've got the right song but it's off by an octave or two in parts, just guess that song anyway.
• As before, I PM hints! If you can't figure out the song at all, but you guess the series the melody is from and/or give a YouTube link to a similar-sounding piece, I'll PM back about whether you're on the right track.
• This time, you are only expected to submit series name-song name/best known use pairs or YouTube links/videos for the bonus section. I'm being lenient here because at least one melody in the bonus section doesn't appear in any video games at all.
• #5 and #3b are less likely to be completely melodically and/or rhythmically accurate than the rest of the melodies.
• In addition, repeated notes in #5 were sometimes hard to make out, #9 seemed to flange every note when I transcribed it, and #1b's song plays back sharp (so it got hard to transcribe at times).
• The last bar of #3 is incompletely transcribed.
• The only series with more than one song in this quiz are Mario, Kirby, and Undertale, all with 2 songs apiece. None of the other songs share a series.
