READ THIS IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE COLLAB.
But watch the whole video first.
EDIT:
I guess I should have been more clear that I was hoping to see only new videos in the collab and not ones uploaded previously, but I won’t punish anyone because of my incapability to say so. You are allowed as many responses as you’d like, but from now on you may only post one that you uploaded before this video.
Sometime last night, I reached the 5000 subscriber mark! Thanks to every last one of you who helped me reached this milestone!
I apologise if the text moves too quickly, but I wanted to fit it in the song. I recommend not watching in fullscreen.
I made this video for a few reasons.
1. To thank my supporters and celebrate the milestone.
2. To initiate a collab.
If you have already watched the video, you know the general jist of the collab. I invite any and all Mario Paint Composers to upload a song that resembles something you would have seen 2 years ago. If you weren’t there back then, this means that your entry should have:
No dickspeed, aka a low tempo song (I am hesitant to issue a tempo cap for the sake of faster songs with fast notes, so as a guideline instead please obey the 5-instrument limit)
The original, unmodified unfungames’ soundfont
The 15 default instruments only
An overall simple presentation (just a recommendation)
I am doing this not only because I wish to celebrate my past, but because of the recent events involving people breaking away from or even quitting MPC because they don’t see it as fun. I was one of those people, but as I made a song like this I really enjoyed it. There was no pressure or tedious work, just honest fun, and my goal is to inspire others to give this a shot so they can enjoy MPC again as well. Of course, anyone can participate in this without any kind of warning or permission.
Some tips you may want to follow:
If you think people will be very impressed by your piece because of how epic it is, you may want to go simpler.
If you are challenging yourself or the work is tedious, you may want to go simpler.
If you have the urge to make it sound just like the OST, replace it with the urge to make it sound like a Mario Paint tribute instead.
The arranger feature is acceptable.
Overall, just try to make it simple. Don’t try to outdo yourself (I say this because I myself kept this mentality when I made my video, that you will probably want to check out).
Oh, and if you use Mario Paint Composer V1, you get a cookie.
Like I said in the video, this is not a contest. There is no winner, there is no voting, and there is no deadline. Please make your response(s) to this video so a viewer can easily find it all!
Good luck and have fun!
In regards to this video itself, I made it a bit in advance, so the lists at the end are slightly out of date. Sorry.
And wtf, YouTube. My subscribers used to be in order of subscription date. Now the list is randomly placed, incomplete, and even repeats some users onto different pages.
Oh well. Thanks again, everyone!

I will start by …
I will start by congratulate you Axelrod for this amazing accomplishment! For 2 whole years, you shared a lot of often simple but really enjoyable compositions. You was a dominant figure and you inspired a lot of composers (me included).
Some people do have fun using dickspeed and soundfonts and doesn’t feel that pressure you are talking about, but I agree that old-school composing is the best way to aim for fun and not for an accomplishment.
Congrats again! ^_^

Congrats on 5,000 subscribers man! I’m crossing my fingers, almost at 50! Its nice to see that someone else is looking back on the old ways of MPC. I was about getting ready to give up, not being able to keep up with all the others being able to utilize dickspeed, soundfonts, and other ridiculiousness, but, maybe i”ll give it another shot to make something, simple.
