The NSM Guess-That-Melody Quiz!

[mastersuperfan]

Wow XX-B is obscure 0.o

[Static]

To help you guys out, I have prepared a series of optional hints you may use at your own discretion:

Hints

• There are 6 Mario melodies, 4 Kirby melodies, and 2 Zelda melodies.
• 14/22 melodies are from popular Nintendo franchises.
• 4 melodies are from what I consider to be relatively obscure titles.
• None of these melodies have been used in any previous quiz, and all of the games included have been used except for 3.
• There are 2 NES melodies, 5 SNES melodies, 3 GCN melodies, 4 DS melodies, 3 Wii melodies, 2 MUL melodies, and 3 PC melodies.

[close]

In addition to this, I will allow one (1) hint per contestant on a melody of their choice. This hint will not be posted publicly.

[WaluigiTime64]

Me to myself yesterday: I'll try to be on time.
Me to myself now: Dang it.

WAH'S QUIZ

This was rushed out, although the melodies were picked earlier (they're probably still chosen badly though lol).

I'll say more about it later, but right now it's just a normal quiz.

[WaluigiTime64]

5 people have participated. Of the melodies, 10, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19 and 20 have not been guessed.

[Static]

All right, since I posted the quiz a day late, I figured I'd post the answers a day late as well. The overall "theme" of sorts of this quiz (if you can really say there is one) is having a mastery of an OST's songs. Most of the games in this quiz are pretty easily recognizable, but the melodies I chose were brutal in many instances.

"Mastery of an OSTs songs"
yes but who would master either of these OSTs
and uh... of all fan games you picked touhou koubuto, which i am certain no one here looks at. i was just about to get mad at myself over missing a ridiculously easy EoSD one but then i realised that. you're lucky i even know what that is
also i was about to not get mad about not getting the touhou 16 one but i guess now it's the most warranted. at least i recognised that one

Average Score: 2.2/22

oh i thought getting 2 was horrible

[Static]

Well that "mastery of OSTs" theme is more general; there are some melodies that don't fall into it like #11... or #10-A and #16...

[mastersuperfan]

Yeah I'm pretty sure #11 is the antithesis of your whole theme considering you hear it over and over and over and over and over and fuck the Medusa shot me

[LeviR.star]

Just showing up now...

Some time in the next month I'll be arranging Ice Island/Wonder of the Stars. I actually started it at least 8 months ago but never found the motivation to finish it.

[WaluigiTime64]

6 people have participated. Of the melodies, 10, 15, 18, 19 and 20 have not been guessed.

[Trasdegi]

When will you post the answers?

[WaluigiTime64]

Uh... probably 8-12 hours after I would usually post answers, because I was late. Considering it's Monday over here, I'd give it less than 24 hours.

[Trasdegi]

So I hope I'll have computer access before then
