CROWNED - Orchestral Rearrangement

At long last, it's finaally here! Not much of a video this time, though I made a render of my Magolor Soul to fill in the gap. This remix was a lot of fun to make, especially towards the end. I hope you enjoy it!

2:03 I like to think of this part of the song as Magolor promising never to be evil again and trying to save Kirby but then after this part Master Crown takes control of him again.

[gordo]

So not only did you make an astounding animation featuring Magolor’s transformation, but then you make a full rendition of the song used in it resulting in by far one of the most creative takes on CROWNED I’ve ever heard.
You’re just flexing at this point.

I have listened to many versions of C-R-O-W-N-E-D in my time. Versions from the games, electronic mixes, orchestra mixes, the lot; however, none can even come close to holding the level of creativity that you have endowed this masterpiece. From Vs. Nightmare to the OVERLORD portion to the 8-bit Green Greens and Kirby's Triumphant Return, you have stitched them all into a stunningly graceful melody; the first time I listened to the song, I could not catch all the letimotifs, so well were they weaved into the heavenly strings of the original song.

True, certain parts of the song may have benefited from adjusting the volume of the main melody, and the letimotifs do retract some sections of the original, but this take on C-R-O-W-N-E-D is still one of the best I have ever seen, both in terms of creativity and power. This is most certainly a re-arrangement, and whilst I personally would have wanted something closer to the original, I am in no position to complain. You have a bright future ahead of you, SoX, and I look forward to your future works.

Well done.

Yooo... That small bit of nightmare wizard just sent chills down my spine, amazing orchestration

[alexanderross]

4:19 this moment which is a more action oriented and faster version of the music heard in the intro of the song is my favourite moment

[magolor]

Truly remarkable SoX! Hell if Deluxe doesn't remix CROWNED, I might have to play this over the fight!

[wilsonso]

Headphones recommended because this is a banger!

[Avathestarwarrior]

VS Crowned Magolor
The lying wizard, now with its only thing that's left is the body that now scarcely resembling of what used to be and... a small, a faint glow of a lost soul and it's hope, hanging there with everything. The only hope left is the pink warrior and its friends to end this night that seems to everlast. Hoping that there is another chance. Hoping that there will be another day to live. Hoping that... maybe, maybe we could be friends next time... Go Kirby. Destroy the Crown!

I love the lower octave tone with the kirby adventures theme to give that kind of gloomy mood. I vibe with it 🎧 🎵 🎶

[SinEaterDionísius]

What a legend, 2022 and people still make remixes of this glorious boss battle, MAGOLOR folks👏👏👏👏👏👏

[opal-owl]

The way this made me get up from bed at 3 am in the morning to work kn an art piece that vividly appeared in mind….this is THAT GOOD!

[Meatglare]

I've listened to dozens of covers of this theme, but the section at 2:50 really amazed me, I'm really happy that after years you keep making banger remixes on magolor

[esf]

Gave me chills, my favorite version of CROWNED by far!!

[faux-ashley]

I absolutely love this

I really like the use of the original Green Greens, (and the motif that plays when Nova explodes to fit CROWNED more) like what Astral Birth Void did with its music.

This is just very nice to listen to in general, great job! Very excited to see and hear more!

[mashounen]

Loving that little bit of Nightmare' theme starting around 1:35
I already suspected the first part of C-R-O-W-N-E-D's melody was like Nightmare's theme but "inverted" in some strange way. But now that old final boss theme fit like a glove here.

By the way, are you the same "SoX" who made that other remix? The one full of memes for the Unfair Magolor Soul mod.

[mairzeen]

Bro, why doesn't Nintendo hire you for KRTD Deluxe? This is amazing, your work is wonderful! I hope your channel grows a lot, you deserve it.

[tacolord]

out of all the different versions of crowned ive heard this one has got to be the most creative one
keep up the good work

[Wyrmwind]

A sense of power and mystery flows within this song. And man, it works SO well. Congrats to you man!

[SmolBeanxox]

This has been popping up for a while...I've never listened to a rearrangement of any kind in terms of Kirby. This is a wonderful first experience for me, I'm truly impressed!

[XerxesTexasToast]

This arrangement is SO creative! I love it when people get creative with harmonies and leitmotifs. Bravo!

My ONLY criticism is the instruments sound a touch off, but I assume that's due to a lack of resources more than anything. Can't fault anyone for not having the money to drop on nice VSTs.

You know what? Despite my criticisms, this is going in my VGM favorites playlist because it is just that creative. Lots of VGM fan arrangements are too afraid to get as original as this, and combined with your animation, your reharmonization of the intro with that FUCKING church organ just... it GETS to me, dude. Your remix is in my bones now. My criticism of "hey the instruments and reverb are a lil weird" was really just a stealth request for me to touch this up with MY nice VSTs someday myself because HOAGH
