What can I say here? I’m completely blown away. I’ve always been impressed by what people are able to do with Mario Paint, but this video is hands-down the best I’ve seen. Probably helps that Mahito Yokota’s “Wind Garden” is one of my favorite Mario tunes of all time.
I can’t help but be reminded of the amazing interview opportunity I got with composers Koji Kondo and Mahito Yokota when I was writing for Music4Games. Listening to this has me looking forward to Mahito Yokota’s next soundtrack as well as whatever this Mario Paint maestro chooses to arrange next. He’s also done “Rainbow Road” from Mario Kart, “Darkness of Fear” from Castlevania Judgement (the best song in that game as well!), and even a number of pop tracks. He definitely has great taste and some amazing Mario Paint talent!
Do you have some favorite Mario Paint music videos? Is this one of the best that you’ve seen?

This was actually done with Mario Paint Composer, which has a lot less limitations than the actual game. It’s basically a sequencer with a Mario Paint skin and soundfont, so if you’ve got an ear for instrumentation you can make pretty much anything you want in it.
[…] post these Mario Paint remix videos very often (have I ever?) but like Jayson Napolitano over at Original Sound Version who originally posted this, Gusty Garden is by far the best thing about Super Mario Galaxy. I […]
Regardless of whether it was Mario Paint or Mario Paint Composer, I still think it’s pretty impressive. It definitely ranks up there among the best using either software. Another favorite of mine has to be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ccp1Rd6GQE
Hey Jayson, check out this video Retro Remix Revue just posted of Adam Alesi jamming to Green Hill Zone. Couldn’t find your email address on the site.
