Here’s a riddle for you: what is plenty, but can never be enough?

The answer: Bad Boss Boogie remixes. At this point I don’t even know how many I already made, but there’s always room for more.

Today I present Banana Slammer, a remix featuring Bad Boss Boogie from Donkey Kong Land and Stone Tower Temple from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask – two of my all-time favorite tunes – with a dash of DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64.

Now this is nothing new, I already did something similar for Coconut Tower, but there’s an extra layer to this not being new this time. For April Fools, I updated World Factory with some new songs, and these two were part of it – in the end I wasn’t sure how well they actually fit in the song, but they sounded so good together, that I felt like I had to make a full version of it. So here we are – Banana Slammer!

I was trying to come up with some sort of new template for videos (again), so I went the extra mile for the video – but I think I’ll only be able to re-use a part of it for future videos. Anyway, I hope you enjoy:

And that’s a wrap – and if it’s as warm on your side of the planet as it is for me, I hope you can enjoy a banana split or two!

I think it’s been a while since I had something new to share, although today’s medley consists mostly (entirely?) of songs I have included in songs before. Today I present a (mostly) Japanese-themed medley I named Journey to the East!

As is custom for medleys, here’s a list of the songs that appear in it:

• Quicksand Valley – Snowboard Kids
• E. Honda Stage – Street Fighter II
• Crash – Ninja Gaiden Sigma
• Yamato Man Stage – Mega Man 6
• The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo – Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

So about Quicksand Valley. Snowboard Kids DOES have a stage called Ninja Land, but it doesn’t have its own theme – it shares its BGM with the first course of the game, Rookie Mountain. And although that song is also cool, I really wanted to use this opportunity to have Quicksand Valley in a song again, it’s such a banger tune (although pretty much the entire OST of Snowboard Kids is a banger, but I really like this one in particular). And that’s where the mostly Japanese-themed comes in – and now you know 😉

As usual, there’s a video as well. I saw the positive comments regarding the style of the last video, so I tried to adapt it to this one too. For lack of some good background, I decided to use AI for that, which I know is controversial, but in cases like these, I find it useful. The same goes for the Steel Samurai, which you can easily tell is also generated as well, but I simply couldn’t find a solo pic of him…

And that concludes this operation. I have mixed feelings about all this – song and video – but we’ll see where the journey goes from here.

Sometimes you look at the date, but sometimes the date looks at you and calls you a fool. Today is such a day. And because of that, we revisit a song that was originally meant for this day (13 years ago), but uploaded too late. World Factory is back, and it’s on the correct date this time:

It’s not particularly funny or silly, but it’s rather random – although I don’t usually need a special day to make a medley like this, throwing such different sources together. A few parts changed compared to the original, so here’s what we got:

• Last Battle – Cave Story
• Abandoned Factory – Persona 2: Innocent Sin
• U.N. Owen was her? – Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
• Song of Storms – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• Bad Boss Boogie – Donkey Kong Land
• Stone Tower Temple – The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

For the video, I tried some different things this time, although the background is the same as in the original video:

I worked quite a while on this, updating the mixing and everything, but in the end after some back and forth, it ended up sounding rather similar to the original – makes me wonder if it was worth putting that much time into it…
