Flipside (Super Paper Mario) - arranged by Scruffy

As voted by my patrons, I've arranged a classic tune from Super Paper Mario: Flipside, the interdimensional hub city in the game! It has a charming accordion part that I just had to cover live, and just plenty of details that were really fun to reconstruct and play with. And of course, Flipside isn't the only side of the story, so stay tuned for the latter half of this arrangement!

I love how flopside was jazzier, showcasing its more chaotic, but fun nature of gameplay.

Excellent arrangement
The soft clarinets and accordion really add to the " cleanliness" of Flipside and the funky bass adds to the "dirtiness" of Flopside
Well done

i used to be an active member on a super paper mario message board themed after the one-off joke website name francis makes mention of in chapter 3, and i got there because i liked this game so much when i played it on launch. listening to this brought me back to that time in my life, 15 years ago at this point.

beautiful arrangement, scruffy.

The use of Memory as percussion at the end there... Actually gorgeous.

This is fresh as hell. If Nintendo ever remade this game along with it's soundtrack, this sounds like the type of arrangement they would make.

Good stuff, dude. Brings back memories of playing this game back in 2009.

This is one of those rare remixes that I think are better than the original. It just feels like an upgrade while remaining 100% true to the same aesthetic and integrity as the original piece. It's not going for a completely different style...yet the additions only make it feel more alive. It also helps you brought the sound quality itself up. The Flopside remix was just brilliant too. So quirky and bouncy. Love it!! Keep it up good sir.

I LITERALLY just remembered Super Paper Mario and went to go hear the Flipside music. An hour later, Scruffy uploads a version of his own! Neat coincidence!

Ohhhh, the ticking clock at the end.

Honestly the thumbnail by itself made me cry of joy and nostalgia, it's been a hot minute since I was able to play Super Paper Mario and it surely is one of my favorite games of all time!

Thank you so much, Scruffy ✨

[gigoe]

the layering in this is crazy. . the live accordion meshes so well !!!!

I remember when I was a kid and I would get so excited when I unlocked Peach, Bowser, and finally Luigi. I got the game for my birthday and didn’t know a thing about it. After struggling through that blasted mansion with Mimi, gripping through the two 100 level dungeons to get the speed pixl and infinite 3D power, and piling up 9999 coins to get your partner back as a robot. I really miss this game. Thanks for making this!

Great arrangement. I haven't played this game in more than a decade and it gave me full nostalgia.

[sizztuna]

Ah, hearing this brings back a lot of memories. The inclusion of Flopside and the subtle detail of the clock ticking from Memory at the end makes it clear a lot of care was put into this. Great arrangement as always, Scruffy!

THIS SONG IS SO GOOD. I did not expect a Super Paper Mario arrangement, of all Mario games to do, but I'm not complaining. This game is legendary and underrated. Your mixture of live instruments and the iconic synth sounds from the game are PERFECT. Bravo.

[mochasumi]

I love this arrangement- the ending having the audio style of Memory is a great touch!

[GabeTStarman]

I’m transported back, 11 years ago, my brother and I playing not stop for 3 days to finish this heartfelt game. We were so captivated. Thanks for this wonderful arrangement, it’s what I love.

[bren]

That was great! I would love to hear you arrange The Ultimate Show from this game. That song is a banger!

[Savannahthehyenaqueen]

Love the swing and solos in flopside’s theme! It helps emphasize its own identity from flipside. Super Paper Mario is one of my favorite games, thank you for this incredible arrangement!

[oxybrightdark]

I know this game isn't beloved by previous paper msrio fans, but it's the first in the series I've played and I absolutely adore it.

[Noobjaref]

I honestly didn’t expect a paper mario one, but i know this gonna sound very well. Also thoughts on this paper mario?
