That noise at the end of the death mountain sp song is absolutely the sound of a recorder being slammed on a table.

[AgsmaJustAgsma]

9:52 There's a good chance that bang is meant to be the player breaking his own recorder out of frustration. No idea if it's meant to be an outtake left in the game's files or something to add character to Flute Boy.

What I believe the third song Melody plays for the quiz is supposed to be something that you don't know the answer to, so you pick the wrong answer then anger her so you'd have to catch her.

At least, that's what I believe.

[RyanHaney]

That part about the ghost practicing really surprised me. I didn't know that was what all those sounds were.

[GataKwas]

8:00 I think this song is also a Totaka's song, just like the international version. However, it has a very random arrangement. If you play the song in your head from the beginning, it sounds like it.

[Peepimus]

5:08 - Truly a relatable piano-playing moment.!.!

[BoomBoomEnemy]

Totaka's Song (I didn't watch the whole video yet)

[HelpTheWretched]

I researched and wrote the Milk Bar Musicians page on Zelda Wiki (and captured that image at 8:44)! The SP version of Death Mountain played on its first try for me, but otherwise my notes showed it playing about 1 in 8 times that they chose Death Mountain. Surely if I had tested it a few hundred more times, it might wind up being closer to 1 in 10, or maybe 1 in 5, but that's a decent estimate.

Also keep in mind that the duo will NOT play either version of Death Mountain until Link has visited the eastern side of Lorule's Death Mountain, or if you play on Hero Mode. In fact, Hero Mode players get 3 extra possible songs!

Here's another musical secret for you! In Splatoon 2's hero mode, many Turquise October songs feature reversed samples of Callie's vocals from various Squid Sisters songs! Since Callie is brainwashed and fighting for the octarians in this game, it works well.

melody's third song sounds more like a MIDI that was rendered to audio with the wrong instruments selected

[cimengngialah]

8:03 To me, it sounds like the Athletic theme from Super Mario Land 2 6 Golden Coins but distorted.

[onesandzerosu]

That bard and flute sp end sound, sounds like the bards instrument being smashed on the flute players head

[TicTacToeCraft]

13:36 Similarly to this, there are also early trailers of Mario Kart 8 that give us a glimpse at placeholder music for tracks like Mario Circuit and Sunshine Airport. Pretty interesting.

[Hadeks_Marow]

So, pianist quiz 03. That's actually what we left behind as scrapped content in both versions. The idea was first give the player 2 easy to guess songs where the 3rd song would be one with all wrong answers/no correct answer to pick. Getting this question wrong would have been what triggered the boss fight.

[weshuiz]

9:52 sounds more like she snapped her flute in half
13:43 funn little fact Nintendo didn't want to use a a live orchestra in the first place
But Yokota kept bothering Miyamoto for it

[Peepimus]

11:14 - Truly a way to sum up all those recorder-playin’ meme videos just like that, huh.!.!

[DonkeyKongCountryReturns]

luigi's mansion 2's soundtrack is honestly underrated

[YanntastischGER]

Luigi's Mansion probably has the most interesting unused data of all time

[kryzethx]

Aw, the voice actor for the Zelda 64 games sounds so cute. Sad that she's passed away. Absolutely iconic voice acting

[DreemyDreemz]

Not only did the great fairy's laugh scare me in the game, but it scared me in this video too lmfao
