The Lore?
For those who are unaware, I am a relatively new member who joined back in January primarily to make unsampled ports. As it happens, I got involved in a little more than that, and the past month and a half had me preoccupied with my OWDC entry. While I did make 8 brand new ports specifically for that entry, I naturally am unable to show them here for risk of de-anonymizing my entry to the judges. As such, the crux of the issue arose: I had but a few days to whip something up for C3, and with no plan going into it.
The Solution?
I figured rather than trying to make multiple ports that inevitably turn out to be rushed and lower quality, I would pour all of my effort into a single port as a sort of milestone to myself, showcasing how much I've grown over the past 6 months. It may not be perfect, and it may not have the better sounding samples from the original game, but that was kind of the point; I wanted to push the limits of my abilities to make whatever instruments I needed to out of SMW's vanilla samples, even if it wasn't a 1:1 match.
The Result?
Here is the culmination of my efforts, and admittedly something of a banger (if such comments towards my own recreation are not unwarranted). I hope I did the original justice, and hope you can enjoy it:

The Future?
This may be all I have for this C3, but I can guarantee you I have a much grander thread with a unifying theme planned for next time. Who knows, maybe I'll do more than just ports if I have the time!
Thank you for taking the time to read this overexaggerated thread, and I'm eager for this winter when I'll be able to share with you a lot more than literally just a single unsampled port.
