Title: The UNOFFICIAL Mario Kart 8 Arrangement Project
Post by: E. Gadd Industries on January 09, 2016, 02:19:28 PM
Welcome to The Unofficial Mario Kart 8 Arrangement Project!

For this Unofficial Project, we will be focusing on Mario Kart 8.

Spoiler
(https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twingalaxies.com%2Fattachment.php%3Fattachmentid%3D5826%26amp%3Bd%3D1437367648&hash=ba42621c770de9eb6d3c9ce1c58dd7f4a66549d7)
[close]

WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS???
Myself (E. Gadd Industries), Sebastian, and TheMarioPianist.

What is an "Unofficial" Project? How is it different from an Arrangement Project?
For starters, the Arrangement Project is a project focused on arranging as many songs as possible from a particular game; the game is selected by a poll of forum members. The sheets arranged in these projects are reviewed by updaters, just like regular submissions. The differences in an "Unofficial" project are as follows:

•   Most likely no updater review
•   Completed sheets must still go through submissions

Other than that, it is basically the same thing. The goal is to either gain enough popularity that this becomes the official project once Undertale concludes or get featured in an update of our own.


What you need to know:

75.249573 kilograms of very important info
-If you begin work on a sheet, please post claiming the song so that I can edit the OP (original post) with the updated information. This keeps multiple people from working on the same song at the same time.
-Can't arrange? No problem; critique other sheets that either have not been looked at yet, or have just been revised. The Updaters will NOT be looking over these unless they decide otherwise.
-There is no limit to how many sheets one may work on simultaneously but I would recommend that every sheet you take you must complete or don't take it at all. Also, if you claim a sheet but then are unable to work on it, please post that you are relinquishing it so that I can remove your name and free the song up for other arrangers.
Who to contact for questions, comments, and/or concerns regarding this whole endeavor:
Yours truly. (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=4357) But Sebastian (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=3424) and TheMarioPianist (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=4625) would also be willing to give you a hand!   

We will be giving out a common template (just like in the Undertale project) so all the sheets will have the correct game/formatting info. And so it will be less of a hassle if we get an update.
Template (https://www.dropbox.com/s/007qs0hwnenmt89/MK8%20Template.mus?dl=1)

Here is the OST. We will be using the official names which these are.
OST (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2XjmdkuVL-04v0wkzgB5vxpyI1Rcv_Dw)

Our Goals for the Unofficial Projects:
We hope to arrange a sheet for every song in the target game. We will be fixing all musical and formatting errors that arise in each completed sheet, so that once they are submitted it should be less of a hassle on the updating crew. In addition, we hope to get the formatting up to par and make every sheet we do as top quality as possible! (For more on formatting, click me!)
Our ultimate goal is to get a swift update for each unofficial replacement project we do.

Questions you might ask:

What games will you be doing?
We will be starting with the games in the "Super Mario" section and depending on how fast we go, how many people are interested, and how daring the Updaters are feeling, will tell where we go next. For the time being, we will be doing only the "Super Mario" section.

Why the "Super Mario" section?
Well, there are 2 reasons actually.
1. TheMarioPianist, Sebastian and I are big Mario fans, and we do have a lot of Mario fans on NSM who would be interested in helping.
2. "Super Mario" and "Pokémon" are two vast libraries of video game music, and those will continue to gather a lot of popularity. For that reason, it only makes sense to arrange the new songs in those categories as soon as possible.

What if no one is interested?
Simple, TheMarioPianist, Sebastian and I will do all the songs ourselves. Our only goal is to get valuable and quality sheets on the site. But there obviously has been some interest, so I don't believe that this should be an issue anytime soon.

If you have a question that is not above, PLEASE ask! :)

This website (http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_8_Original_Soundtrack) contains an in-depth list of who composed what. Simply scroll down to to section titled "Composers/Arrangers".
Here is a List of the songs from the OST:

List of participants:
Color code:
Black - Not yet arranged. (Claim me!)
Orange - In progress/Claimed.
Purple – Completed. Review pending.
Green - Approved by myself as well as other members here. Submit it!
Blue – In submissions.
Green – On-site or accepted. Good job!
Red – Retro track that is nearly identical to original. Arrangement may not be necessary, but feel free to do it anyway!
"*(Song Title)*" - Song that has two (or more) themes
*All these part of a fanfare collection sheet
**These will be combined as one sheet

Shoutout to TMP for giving this project the touch-up it needed!
It would be of your best interest to not encroach on the realms of Super Mario Sunshine sheet arranging. Others have tried, and for them it proved to be fatal.

Mark me down for Twisted Mansion, Bone-Dry Dunes, and Super Bell Subway (Underground), but it might be a while before I get around to them. Not sure if I'll ever get around to that last one for a long while, so if someone else wants it...

Oh, and I'll take Wild Woods too.

I found a link (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6akIKaXBeU2ku6G6pyabzbyyfYh_0S-a) of what looks like the majority if not all of the mario kart 8 tracklist (they are all the extended versions, however)

That note aside, I'd like to claim Hyrule Circuit, Dragon Driftway, and Waterpark
Title: Re: The UNOFFICIAL Mario Kart 8 Arrangement Project
Post by: Latios212 on January 09, 2016, 03:23:47 PM
Things to consider:
- It's a better idea to color code by progress, not arranger. This makes it easier to see what's actually been done and what hasn't been arranged yet.
- There are problems with your listing, including wrong names ("Waterpark"--> Water Park"). ALL the tracks should be included, especially since there is an official soundtrack; just because it's a track not from a course doesn't mean people don't want to arrange it (See: the 3 sheets on site that aren't for courses). Here is the list of tracks (http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_8_Original_Soundtrack).
- I'll claim Sweet Sweet Canyon. Tentatively.
- Also, playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2XjmdkuVL-04v0wkzgB5vxpyI1Rcv_Dw) of regular-length versions.

Edit: Everything has been updated!

I'm claiming Yoshi's Circuit (GCN), Rainbow Road (SNES), and Excitebike Arena.

Couple other things to point out:

Quote from: TheMarioPianist on January 09, 2016, 10:38:05 PMTracks that have two different themes (Eg: Above ground and under water) should probably be put in one sheet, with the two parts labeled. Someone else weigh in on this idea please?

12Mari0, are you going with TMP's suggestion and taking both versions?

Quote from: TheMarioPianist on January 09, 2016, 10:38:05 PMAt some point, we should go through the retro tracks and check if any of them are nearly (if not completely) identical to their original counterparts. Most have been reorchestrated or changed, but if any are the same, there is no reason to do them again.
Would you like to discuss via Skype, TMP?
Title: Re: The UNOFFICIAL Mario Kart 8 Arrangement Project
Post by: Latios212 on January 10, 2016, 08:50:12 AM
E. Gadd, you still have name errors. Check against the track names again. ("Toad Harbor" and "Yoshi Circuit", perhaps others as well.) Also the retro tracks should have the console name at the beginning of the title like in the listing I provided ("GCN Yoshi Circuit"). Fix those.

  • Tracks that have two different themes (Eg: Above ground and under water) should probably be put in one sheet, with the two parts labeled. Someone else weigh in on this idea please?
Sure.

Something like that, yeah. Also, some consideration should be given to fixing the original if there is one. *hack cough wheeze TMP hint hint nudge* (http://www.ninsheetmusic.org/download/pdf/771)

edit: Perhaps I'll replace that one myself. TMP I'll discuss this particular track with you when I get home.

So how do you suggest I label those courses?
Maybe like this:
"Dolphin Shoals (both versions)"
Title: Re: The UNOFFICIAL Mario Kart 8 Arrangement Project
Post by: Latios212 on January 10, 2016, 09:05:43 AM
Probably the title should be just the track name, but leave a little note on the side that there are multiple versions.
Title: Re: The UNOFFICIAL Mario Kart 8 Arrangement Project
Post by: E. Gadd Industries on January 10, 2016, 09:12:40 AM
Ok, I'll get to work on that and the other things right away! Thanks!

Oh, also:
"If someone else wants it they can have it though, since i won't get around to that for a long time in that case"
Msf said this to me concerning Super Bell Subway due to the combining of themes. So, if anyone else wants it, they can have it. But as of now, I'm leaving it under his name, until someone says they want it (if the occasion arises).

I just spoke with Don. He says he did indeed begin Dolphin Shoals, but he has only completed the first 6-8 measures. He says that if anyone else wants to take it, it's open, as it will likely be a long while before he completes it.

Since nobody claimed Super Star and it is only 2 measures long, I decided to do it

Also, here's my current progress on Water Park. I'd say it's about 40-50% complete. I forgot to put in a tempo marking before I uploaded it so it should be at quarter = 136

Thanks! I'll be working more on it later today/tomorrow.

Yes, maybe and yes. B depends on whether he gives credit to me or not.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with N64 Rainbow Road. But, I didn't get a chance to compare the songs side-by-side. I'd get a second opinion before really considering submitting it, jic there's something I'm not seeing.

Too much emphasis on might for my likings. Going to need you to clarify whether or not you want me to put that song under your name or not

I will arrange it.

Heck, I was gonna stop, but I guess I'll take GCN Baby Park. There is a lot of extra stuff compared with the original song from Double Dash.

Good luck! It'll be interesting to see how you handle the music transitions between the laps. XDXD Not something I'd feel comfortable attacking. XD

If i may make a suggestion. Put the "what you need to know section in a spoiler. Would make the OP less menacing!

How's about we get this started back up again, with summer here!

Post by: TheMarioPianist on June 07, 2016, 06:40:41 PM
Sounds like a plan. I haven't actually finished any of the ones I've claimed, but I've gotten off to a decent start on a couple of them.
Title: Re: The UNOFFICIAL Mario Kart 8 Arrangement Project
Post by: Sebastian on June 08, 2016, 07:53:05 AM
Ooook. The SeaBass is here.

I fixed up all the finished sheets (just mine actually). Everyone that claimed one should have gotten a message or pm from me asking if you're still interested in helping out with this project.  It'd be really cool to see how diverse (different arrangers) we could get working on this project. Remember, the more arrangers, the quicker it finishes!
I'll try to have the Animal Crossing one finished today.

If you have a question about arranging or need help with your song, I'd be more than happy to help you. Please pm or skype message me.
This isn't exclusive to this project. This pertains to anything NSM.

EDIT: I won't be doing Baby Park. The one on site (under Double Dash) is sufficient.

After some discussion, me, SeaBass, & TMP realize that the best & most efficient way to complete this is goal setting. For now, we will be focusing on just the Nitro tracks (including DLC), and we encourage everyone else to do so. With that, I'll be claiming Bowser's Castle and Big Blue, and Sebastian will be claiming Thwomp Ruins.

Unless anyone else was planning to do it, I'm interested in trying GCN Dry Dry Desert, but I don't know how long it will take me.

Aw yeah. I love the OST for this game  ;D
I'll take Mario Kart Stadium and DS Wario Stadium if no one is doing them.

Awesome! I'll put you down, & the list will be updated for you, Static!

EDIT: I have also added a URL that gives the composer of each song. Check just above the song list.

I'm canceling my claim on Dragon Driftway (and possibly Hyrule Circuit if someone really wants it). However, as per Olimar's suggestions I'll be doing a collection of short pieces that will include Super Star, some pieces that aren't on here, and Course Intro Fanfare
Title: Re: The UNOFFICIAL Mario Kart 8 Arrangement Project
Post by: E. Gadd Industries on June 11, 2016, 02:49:52 PM
Alrighty. For now, I'll keep Hyrule Circuit to your name, but I'll make mention of that.

I have finished Thwomp Ruins and Animal Crossing Results. They are on my arrangement thread.

I finally finished a Fanfare Collection, which includes (in the following order):
- Course Intro Fanfare
- Race Start Fanfare Battle
- Race Start Grand Prix VS
- Super Star
- Final Lap Fanfare
- Low Goal Fanfare
- Mid Goal Fanfare Grand Prix VS
- Top Goal Fanfare (on site by ThatGamer and edited by Sebastian)

"Fanfare Collection"
MIDI (https://www.dropbox.com/s/riyxvhyg1y9qpkg/MK8%20-%20Fanfare%20Collection.mid?dl=0) | MUS (https://www.dropbox.com/s/4jd5yjlv9dtygxn/MK8%20-%20Fanfare%20Collection.mus?dl=0) | MUSX (https://www.dropbox.com/s/cyldbczs3hozbrn/MK8%20-%20Fanfare%20Collection.musx?dl=0) | PDF (https://www.dropbox.com/s/h0qy5sxedpkdc51/MK8%20-%20Fanfare%20Collection.pdf?dl=0) | Youtube (playlist) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm2d9jSpM1g&list=PLO1Tb0ibatGOt0CkzQ-RkaHfGW5NV22f3&index=3)

I'm iffy on some key signatures, and also Final Lap Fanfare in general. I'll also work on Results Screen A and B eventually. I think I'll put them in the same sheet
