Thank you Dannlink for all your help with counting these votes! Check out his guitar covers here:

This was an intense song to lay down. When streaming, we blasted all of the recording in only 4-5 days which is very tough for recording a 7.5 minute medley while also talking to chat and trying to beat sundown (which I didn't on a lot of the tracks, sorry for darkness on some takes!). These medleys are so cool to do in so many ways. It feels like a study in a lot of ways in fact, getting to see which franchises really rule in a category and what makes a good song for that area of the game. Thanks so much for participating on this project! Still quite a few more to go!

Thank you to the amazing let's players SuperMCGamer, Chuggaconroy, Lucahjin, HCBailly and the runners at Zeldathon whose footage I used in this video.

Too much Zelda, Jules. Oh wait, I couldn't be bothered to read in the first second of the video that you didn't chose these songs and we all voted for them, silly me.

[protosaber]

Was I surprised that this list was comprised mostly of Zelda games? No. Am I surprised that Spirit tracks was among them? Absolutely and Happily!

[felipecampos]

Dude, how can people criticize or downvote this? People are such bags of crap on the internet.
You're awesome!

[Maunuri]

I almost bursted into tears of joy when Gaur Plains started. Simply beautiful

[makatu]

So surprised that Chrono Cross made it onto the list, one of my favorites. Love the medley!

[TheHockeyGamer]

#MB Super Paper Mario (A Powerful Enemy Emerges)

[YoungTheFish]

I did not expect NO.1 to be NO.1, even though it's well deserved.

[SSBBlozsmbkpkmn]

Your covers made me remember the reason why I love videogames. U R the best! I'm sure your music has reached many gamers' hearts e.e GJ

[ethanspotts]

It's a dream come true hearing you re-record some of these.

[bowoflight]

I'll be honest, whenever I hear the Hyrule field part, I'm instantly thrown back to when you and CSGuitar89 covered the song and I'll always cherish finding your channel that way back in 2010

[darkcharizard]

That last bit makes me laugh every time, Jules 😂 I need more of your cowbell in my life

[Globule]

I love the Dark Douls overworld theme at 8:21, great arrangement Jules!

[andrewpappas]

_Legend of Zelda_ has so many good overworld themes, it's one reason _Ocarina of Time_ is one of my favourite games. Hyrule Field is amazing

[Bogmire_is_me]

#MB The Miniboss theme from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker! It's a Miniboss theme but it sounds so intense especially for a game like wind waker!

[comedy]

#MB

Super Mario Bros. 3 - Mini Fortress Koopling Boss

Lots of good choices for this one, but I gotta go with this old school classic. Learn your history, kids.

1:05-1:53

"The theme tune from the Dark World
It's a dark place
That's menacing
And dark

*("REALLY DARK!)*

"It's dark
It has mature themes
Like an anime
In Japanese
With subs
(fansubs, even!)

"It is dark, like a scary thing
Like a teenager from DeviantArt
It is dark, it writes poetry
And it wears half its hair over
One eye

"Diddly-dark! It's diddly-dark!
Diddly-dark! It's diddly-dark!
Diddly-dark! So diddly-dark!
It's

[Samochan]

#MB (Metroid prime) Chozo ghost battle. It plays on chozo ghosts, elite pirates, phazon elite and first time you encounter a metroid =)

[SgtBuck]

Any chance of a round 2 for character themes? I'd love to see you try out some of the Advance Wars music!

[AcexLeistung]

#MB Dogsong (Greater Dog) - Undertale

[FlappySeal]

#MB Pokémon Gold/Silver - Vs. Team Rocket. I'd wager it's a mini-boss theme given you only battle them on special occasions. It's tailor made for a guitar remix too.
