MUSIC TO BE REPLACED

this is the catch-all thread for music that should probably be replaced for not matching the quality of other ports/compos used in the hack. you are encouraged to post with what levels you think should have the music changed.

the primary purpose of this thread is to seek out music to replace them, whether it be in the music section or composed for the project. don't be afraid to suggest alternatives for any stage! it doesn't even have to be on this list.

1-1: Castle Escape - Burning Waters by imamelia (unfitting)
1-2: Bowling Calamity - Underground Beats by MercuryPenny
1-6: Magma Grounds - Panic Puppet Act 2 by Roberto zampari
1-7: Plutonic Chasm - Boomer Kuwanger by imamelia
1-9: The Bone Zone - Castle by Koji Kondo
2-9: Abandoned Crypt - Garibaldi Temple by Wakana
3-7: Into Spiky Branches - Slash Man's Theme by Slash Man
3-8: Uplifting Heights - Pipe Island by Gamma V
3-9: Trigger Temple - Temple Theme by Jascha
4-1: Frosted Broadwalk - Slide! The Ice Ring by Moose
4-2: Pokey Plateau - SMB3 Athletic by MidiGuy
4-7: Abandoned Icebound Tanker - Underground Beats by MercuryPenny
4-8: Peach Perilous Ship - Here we go! by Koji Kondo
5-2: Stupid Deserts! - Intension of the Earth by MercuryPenny (needs an overall aesthetic redo)
5-4: Slide and Chill - Sand Canyon 1 by Izuna (more unfitting than low-quality)
5-5: The Void - In The Dark by Ersanio (more unfitting than low-quality)

(i'll write up a post with suggestions to replace these later. kinda exhausted from writing this tbh)
My nominee(s) (not repeating the ones you mention):
3-9: Trigger Temple - Temple Theme by Jascha (bad quality)

4-1: Frosted Broadwalk - ???? by ????

Slide! The Ice Ring by Moose.

1-9: The Bone Zone - Castle by Koji Kondo

Medic personally had told me before that he wanted the original castle music in the first part. Maybe we can arrange it?

5-2: Stupid Deserts! - Intension of the Earth by MercuryPenny (needs an overall aesthetic redo)

I personally think that the music fits in this one. I'll redo the AESTHETIC later.

Both 4-7 and 4-8 need more fitting themes; I wonder which would do.

that would mostly fall on my shoulders, and i'm in the middle of revamping the map musics at the moment.

we could also cheat and use vldc7's castle music, but that's a bit too epic and eargasmy for a short, unmemorable bait-and-switch portion. maybe we could use tower?

and i disagree, but you're the leader here

suggestion: cold by redngreen for the first half of 4-7, maybe burning waters for the second half?

4-8...maybe attack of the airships if it got an aesthetic redo?
The final level, now that I think of it.
Wouldn't it be a wise idea to have its own composition? I don't know, how tiring would that be @merc
depends on how i feel after all this revamping
no it's here
erik u know OST.zip was in the shared folder right LOL
now it's in sweeden
with the actual songs names, too.
added 1-1 to the list
alright so i went ahead and went through every level's song choice and tried to pick out songs for the levels that really needed it (imo). my music tastes might be a touch weird so do complain or offer your own suggestions

with that out of the way, let's get started




1-1: https://dl.smwcentral.net/7106/ReincarnatedSoul.zip (maybe?)
1-2: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=15257 (maybe if the level got some adjustments to make it look a touch more fiery) or https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=8857
1-4: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=8024 (if you don't mind it being a touch trite)
1-6: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=15257
1-7: (we can replace this when the level gets redone)
1-8: honestly the music is fine but the noise effects don't mesh well with the noise sound effects like 30% of the sprites in the level have. it's gonna need to be replaced, but the best thing i could come up with was https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=11541
1-9: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=11556 (probs the best we'll get lol)

2-1: honestly i'd argue this level needs an overall aesthetic redo. this is the desert not lemon meringue pie land
2-4: probs needs to be revamped or redone overall actually, just looking at the level in lunar magic it looks pretty barren
2-6: EW this color contrast is AWFUL please change it
2-7: just for the sake of musical variety https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=7896 could potentially work?
2-9: you know what how about we just reuse intension of the earth for this one, like realtalk the closest i got was https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=10418 and that doesn't really fit at all

3-1: (we can replace this when the level gets redone)
3-2: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=13122 (may be one of my more controversial picks but hey, you try finding one that fits)
3-3: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=10863
3-6: i don't really think the music fits very well but i can't find any alternatives so...!
3-7: 3-2 seems like it fits pretty well
3-9: wow i legitimately can't find ANYTHING. congrats music section you've given me nothing good to work with

4-2: i'm not sure what's happening with this level is it getting redone? its clunky aesthetics and odd design choices make me think "yes" but i'm just unsure.
4-5: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=12539
4-7: first half: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=11016 second half: 1-1? something more fiery and chase-y? idk
4-8: lmao




go ahead and complain now and tell me how my tastes in music suck :^)

These all sound fine to me. I'll get into replacing them.

For the first half of 4-7 I agree, but I'm not sure about the other choices.

Sounds like a plan. I doubt other people is interested on making levels anymore though...

i could try but don't expect anything good

:^(
1-1: All of Iguy's JtoS remixes are the closest I found to fiting. Rooting more for https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=7593 tho
2-7: holy shit I just couldn't
3-6: i can't believe this is the nearest i could find to usable
3-9: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=11128 (level might need some aesthetics touches tho)
4-8: who cares lul

maybe if the echo was made way less obnoxious. if that ends up being our pick i'll play with it a bit and see how it turns out


ahahhahahahahahahahahahahah

also maybe this could work??????????????????? probs not but the more i listen to it it starts to vaguely start to fit

if you feel like turning it into a sewer lol
I like the one you linked.
also @3-9 I mean the beginning kind of sounds like a sewer but I feel the more it progresses it gets more fitting. But maybe there is better picks.
how well do you think this would fit 3-9? it might get a bit repetitive but it's way better than what we have now lol
