The NSM Guess-That-Melody Quiz!

[Trasdegi]

If I had participated, there would be a 60% chance that I would've gotten that one, purely because I recognised it as "Pokemon".

Well, I tried, I recognised it as Pokémon and I didn't found it

[Latios212]

Please help. The scoreboard is a flaming mess for my quiz and I don't even know what I did wrong lol

I only intended for maybe 3-4 of them to be hard-ish but the average score is less than 3

I've also noticed the number of participants slowly dropping as of lately...

[WaluigiTime64]

I have no idea.

Also the number of participants is dropping because less people are being bothered to look at these.

[Dudeman]

It's probably because the quizzes happen so frequently. People are back in school which means less time during the week, which means less time to look at quizzes posted on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Honestly, if it were up to me, I'd make the quizzes happen weekly from now on so everybody has time to participate. I know that I personally have missed a few recently due to things being busy in my life.

[Latios212]

With the number of regular hosts dropping as well, I think we're scheduled to host every two weeks or so, which is pretty often. I wouldn't really mind dropping the frequency as you said for those reasons.

well it just so happens that you two have the power to change it, so go for it

[mastersuperfan]

Saturday? Close enough.

MSF ROUND X1   don't ask me what the X stands for no seriously I don't know

To make up for the insanity that was last round, this quiz is short (15 melodies) and not too difficult. The breakdown of melodies as is follows:

• 3 Mario melodies
• 3 Kirby melodies
• 3 Pokémon melodies
• 3 Zelda melodies
• 3 random whatever melodies

This quiz takes after the format of my second quiz, with 10 normal (perfectly manageable) melodies and 5 more difficult brutally impossible melodies--the final five. Everything in the first 10 should get guessed pretty easily by multiple people, though I can't say whether or not the melodies in the last 5 will be recognized. They're not impossible, though.

I may end up posting hints for the last 5 melodies, or maybe just for the ones that don't get guessed. We'll see.

Now, go nuts.

[mastersuperfan]

Five people have submitted guesses. All of the first ten melodies have been guessed. That was quick.

Because I'm too lazy to go copy-paste my conventional scoreboard I'll just do this:

Right, here are the results for my past quiz:

#1 (3/8)

Meadow Breeze - Kirby Mass Attack
Timestamp: 0:57
mastersuperfan, Static, and Dudeman guessed this correctly

Didn't even realize that the song cut out some beats in the middle until recently...

Saaaaandwiiiiich maaaake me strong, saaaaandwiiiiiich maaaake you dead

[close]

#2 (4/8)

World 6 - Super Mario 3D World
Timestamp: 0:05
ThatHiddenCharacter, WaluigiTime64, mastersuperfan, and Static guessed this correctly

This melody popped into my head last time and it took me a bit to remember from where. Good to know a bunch of other people know it; this is a great world map theme.

#2 is World 6 from Super Mario 3D World
that bothered me a lot

[close]

#3 (5/8)

Yoshi's Song - Yoshi's Story
Timestamp: 0:39
ThatHiddenCharacter, WaluigiTime64, Static, Dudeman, and InsigTurtle guessed this correctly

Though I don't feel like Yoshi's Story is a game many people have played much, there are a few songs that should be fairly accessible, this being one of them. Smash remix being a reason for that.

just...just Yoshi's Story. It's literally just all of Yoshi's Story.

#4 (1/8)

Do Your Best, As Always! / Sharpedo Bluff - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness
Timestamp: 0:31
InsigTurtle guessed this correctly

Shame on the PMD fans who didn't get this one. It's the happiest song ever, and one of the most major themes in the game.

rawr
shark
cliff

Still haven't found it
And I know it's Pokemon

[close]

#9 (1/8)

Battle Tower - Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire
Timestamp: 0:25

Considering this has been remixed in every main series game past Crystal, I definitely expected this to be better known...

[close]

Ending - Super Mario Bros. 2
Timestamp: 0:41
ThatHiddenCharacter and WaluigiTime64 guessed this correctly

No idea why I feel like I've heard this somewhere else before. Nice that two people got it.

Distortion World - Pokémon Platinum
Timestamp: 0:40

Meant for this one to be difficult.

I knew where that Mother one came from. I just forgot to research a little. Oops.

also i thought the schedule was changing to weekly but ok lol

[mastersuperfan]

#2 (4/8)

World 6 - Super Mario 3D World
Timestamp: 0:05

[close]

how about next time you don't use the one world theme that everyone remembers so I can get a point while others don't

#3 (5/8)

Yoshi's Song - Yoshi's Story

I probably should've bothered to check for this one, huh

#4 (1/8)

#4: JVRJFEGJFDJGSRIFJGTEJFDJS HOW DIDNT IT EVEN SOUND FAMILIAR??? Oh and yes, it's one of (if not the) happiest pmd song ever, and I really like it.
#8: lol, in fact I was speaking of #9 so:
#9: somehow I was convinced it was a route music so I spent way too much time looking for it at the wrong place
#12: this is so similar to bw ending
#13: although I played pearl, I never played platinum, I think I should, but anyway the gem 4 remakes will probably be a platinum remake, like hgss are cristal remakes, so this theme will be in them!


Well, I could have done way better than 0...
