Bowser vs Mario

At last, with some delay after some website plug-in problems, I finally present to you:

The first entry of our second take on video game rivalries, Bowser vs Mario!

There were a lot of themes to choose from for this one, although the musical contrast between Mario’s happy-go-lucky music and Bowser’s dark and badass music certainly didn’t make this easy. In the end I went for the Super Mario Bros. Ground Theme, Bowser’s Theme from Super Mario 64, the Final Boss theme from Super Mario World, the Mega Starman from Super Paper Mario, Dark Bowser from Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story (to show Bowser joins the “good” side if he has to), Final Battle with Bowser from Super Mario Galaxy and an arranged version of the Slide theme from Super Mario 64 in a victory-like way by Dr. Fruitcake on VGMusic.

Bowser and Mario have been maintaining a healthy rivalry over all this years which lead to many, many successful games. To this day I’m still not sure what Bowser’s actual intentions are. Conquering the Mushroom Kingdom? World domination? …Princess Peach? If the latter were true, there would be a certain rivalry between these two.

But even without that, Bowser knows that his only true enemy is Mario, whom he has tried to overcome countless times. And we certainly don’t want to forget the times where someone stronger shows up, in which case Bowser can to put his pride aside and team up with his arch nemesis if the situation calls for it.

Arch Rival Month 2

The time has come! Starting next week, we’ll be having another special month (well…not quite “month”, but we’ll call it that anyway): VG Arch Rivals Vol. 2!

This time, we have another bunch of Arch Rival mixes, featuring four legendary good guy vs bad guy constellations and one fan suggestion. There were many discussions going on last time which are true “rivals” and which are just “enemies”. For that matter, and since we mostly have protagonist vs final boss constellations, allow me to add some detailed thoughts and arguments when I upload those mixes, so don’t forgot to follow the stuff I post here as well!

Scorching Fires

The loser of the voting we had a few weeks ago and the last upload before Arch Rival Month 2.

What should have been a Heart of Fire remix as implied by the voting we had, it turned out into a Castlevania-something-megamix. Although it might not be as “mega” as implied…

So at last it contains a lot of other songs as well, let me list them here:

  • Heart of Fire, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow; the main theme of the song, the theme of Julius Belmont
  • Dance of Illusions, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon; helps transitioning the intro into the main song
  • Vampire Killer, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon; underlines Julius’ duties as a Belmont descendant
  • Divine Bloodlines, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (also Dracula X); theme of Richter Belmont, my favorite of the Belmont’s and a really cool theme at that, which plays in a burning town, so it kinda fits~
  • Trouble!, Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi; there is a part in Heart of Fire that sounds just like that, so I thought why not exchange those parts~
  • Last Battle, Cave Story; serves as an epic intro and helps overcome the more uninteresting parts

I don’t know why, it just turned out like that…sorry to those who were hoping for more focus on the Heart of Fire theme :/
