The NSM Guess-That-Melody Quiz!

[LeviR.star]

Auugghhh I know #19 but I can't think of where it's from. Sounds like something out of Super Paper Mario...

[Olimar12345]

Update: These remain un-guessed:
7, 8, 16, 17

One of them in particular really surprises me.

[WaluigiTime64]

is it 8

EDIT: because i've just found it

EDIT: also 10

[Olimar12345]

No, it wasn't 8 that I thought would have been guessed much sooner.

Update: These remain un-guessed:
7, 16, 17

I'll be posting the results in about two hours from now.

[LuxraySpiral]

I forgot I was meant to be hosting a quiz, so I started making this quiz about 6 hours ago.
Sorry if it's a bit crappy. Especially the articulations.

Anyway, here it is
LuxQuiz v3.0


It's easy at the start, then insanely difficult at the end.
The last one doesn't really count, although in case someone actually does get it, they'll get a point.

The quiz is out of 14, with a maximum score of 15.

Enjoy~


p.s. Let me know if there are any problems with the files.

[mastersuperfan]

The fact that this quiz is so easy throughout really worries me about the ones that I'm missing.

Also, I'm not going to win Olimar's... but I can say I'm satisfied with the fact that I got #10 and #18.

Aw, rats, I had no idea there was more to this melody than the first 16 bars.


I was sure I had this one in the bag but then Yug has to go and be better

[Olimar12345]

HOW DID I MISS THIS
"Time Stamp: 0:43"
...oh. That would explain it.

Wow, that's like the best part of the whole track .-.

Aw, rats, I had no idea there was more to this melody than the first 16 bars.

Haven't played metroid yet, huh? I'd get on that before Samus Returns.

[ThatHiddenCharacter]

No. 6: I gots qote! Yaya!
No. 10: I EFFING LOOKED THROUGH THE ENTIRE SONG! HOW DID I MISS IT?!
No. 11: I am both surprised and unsurprised I didn't get this one.
No. 12: I've played the game, but the only track I've memorized from it is Vs. Kracko and a few of the reused tracks.
No. 14: I could tell it was Pikmin, but I didn't even think to look at Pikmin 3.
No. 19: GOD DAMNIT! WHY DOES MY MEMORY HATE ME?!

[WaluigiTime64]

You should all feel bad about #11.

Also I actually did listen to the Pikmin 3 Title Screen while looking for another melody lol. Rip.
EDIT: And World Map from Pikmin 2. Double rip.

[mastersuperfan]

No.2

No. 2 Shampoodle from Animal Crossing

Time Stamp: 0:03

Guessed by: msf, dudeman, Static

[close]

#14 (2/8)

"Shampoodle" - Animal Crossing: City Folk / New Leaf

Timestamp: 0:03

At first I'd picked a different part of this track (starting at 0:20), but I figured this one was obscure enough already.

For the record, I've never actually heard this one in-game; I haven't played City Folk and I never unlocked Shampoodle in New Leaf. I purposely went hunting for an obscure Animal Crossing theme to put in the final five.

[close]

And nobody new got it this time lol

[Dekkadeci]

OK, this is strange--I PM'ed Olimar12345 this and he didn't count me as a participant this round:

Here are my guesses for your latest quiz:

#1: "Victory Road", from Pokemon Ruby & Pokemon Sapphire (i.e. this song)

#3: "Bloody Tears", from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (and likely a bunch of other Castlevania games) (i.e. this song)

#6: "Determination", from UnderTale, used as the game over theme (i.e. this song)

#15: "March Ahead", from Paper Mario, used as an overworld/level theme (i.e. this song)

[Olimar12345]

Don't worry, I did that intentionally because I don't like you.


jk I just fucked up. It's fixed now.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

No.13

No. 13 Escape from Metroid

THAT PART IS LITERALLY THE BEST PART OF THE TRACK. I WILL LITERALLY DELAY MY ESCAPE IN THE ORIGINAL METROID UNTIL I CAN EXIT WHILE GRACING MY EARS WITH THAT MAGNIFICENT BEAUTY. HOW... how... did nobody else get that one?

Also, yes, I'm bitter they removed it in Zero Mission.
