"Time is a Place (Rehearsal Version)" – Finding Paradise

Timestamp: 0:11

"Finding Paradise" (2017) is the lesser-known sequel to the 2011 RPGMaker hit "To the Moon."
The Sigmund Corp. series is still going strong on the RPGMaker engine with the release of "Impostor Factory" in 2021 (and no, it is not an Among Us reference lmao).

Timestamp: 0:33

was gonna do a later part of the song, realized it was kinda jank to transcribe and also was worried that it would be an obscure part of a decently known song (heck, there's already an upload with 1 million views on yt)

"Still Alive (Radio Ver.)/Radio Song/whatever you call it" – Portal

Timestamp: 0:00 (its literally the entire song)

YouTube Link

someone on discord insistently bought me both portal games and library of ruina for my birthday. so i played through portal 1 for the first time. and of course with the recent "uncompressed" version of this song being discovered, and my general "panic" and brain death setting in, of couse i chose the song that is the funnie meme.

"Celestial Resort (Good Karma Mix)" – Celeste

Timestamp: 1:22

YouTube Link

as i was stumped for more melodies, and also the fact that i had recently had multiple nights where i just listened to this on loop for like an hour, an extended version of this kept popping up in my recommended youtube videos, so i decided "ok fine ill use this song" since its a huge banger. this is my favorite song in celeste tbh.

for the final one, i decided for a bit of a "freebie" type one, and one song i really do enjoy. i once saw a yt comment under an upload of this song that talked about how healing can and will be painful and it takes time, and it has really stuck with me.

#1 (1/14)

"The Smell of a Scary Beast" – Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Timestamp: 0:18

YouTube Link

This is quoted by enough Kirby and the Forgotten Land themes that this is one of those KatFL themes you must memorize.
...Dunno whether most people just memorized this tune's other appearances (e.g. "The Ultimate Fight", "VS. Psychic Power Given Form"), but only one person got this correct. Shucks.

#2 (6/14)

"Battle! (Gym Leader)" – Pokemon Sword & Pokemon Shield

Timestamp: 0:01

YouTube Link

My sister left her Nintendo Switch in my place, and my nephew is playing Pokemon Sword on it right now. This gym leader theme actually pumps up the hype pretty well. And it does so starting right at the start.
...OK, it later drops off around when the Gym Leader Dynamaxes their Pokemon and the bassline remains in G minor while the audience's chanting is in F sharp major, but eh, you can't actually hear the bassline in-game at that point.

I'm a bit surprised that this had the most correct guesses, but then again, Gen 8 isn't the newest Pokemon generation anymore...

"M-A-X Power!" – Paper Mario: The Origami King

Timestamp: 0:00

YouTube Link

There's no denying one of the best musical themes in Paper Mario: The Origami King (at least IMO)!
...So only 2 people got this correct. Somehow, its transcriber isn't one of them. I guess this theme really is that hard to hear in-game after all.

#4 (1/14)

"Transcending, Overpowering, Everlasting" – Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling

Timestamp: 0:55

YouTube Link

I'm a bit surprised that Bug Fables themes have never been used in any Guess-The-Song quizzes before, so I figured I better change that now.

...Maybe I should have picked a Bug Fables theme that someone else here in NinSheetMusic has transcribed. I've heard the game's last final boss theme is popular, so I picked it. It must not be that popular, though: only one person got this correct.

Next potluck quiz, I'm transcribing music from a different bug-crammed game with highly praised music that we haven't really touched in Guess-The-Song quizzes: Hollow Knight!

#5 (3/14)

"審判の夢見鳥:バルフレイナイト"/"'Butterfly of Judgment: Morpho Knight'" – Kirby Star Allies

Timestamp: 0:00

YouTube Link

I didn't expect Morpho Knight to get fought in a second Kirby game so soon, so I figured I better put this boss's first boss theme in a Guess-The-Song quiz.
I initially wanted to transcribe only the first 4 measures, but the Kirby and the Forgotten Land version heavily uses a motif in the original's Bars 5-12, so I had to transcribe 2 more measures so people could (at least start to) pick up on that motif.

"Moebius Battle" – Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Timestamp: 0:33

Wasn't sure how well guessed this one would be, figured it would either be somewhat guessed or not much at all. Safe to say it was the latter. Seemed like Xenoblade 3 got a lot of attention for its soundtrack, but it's completely understandable that a melody like this doesn't really standout super well for people in retrospect. It was in fact not Morbin Time on this melody quiz.

If you need a hint, you can ask for one per song, but you will be publicly shown as having asked for a hint. Gotta give an incentive to avoid hints somehow.

Compared to the Hollow Knight music fandom I've seen, this game's music seems to be criminally underrated here, so I picked one of this game's most famous musical themes for this quiz.

This has got to be one of the best rearrangements of the Revenge of Meta Knight ending theme I've ever heard in a Kirby game. So I picked one of my favourite excerpts in this theme for this quiz - one that doesn't really rearrange the Revenge of Meta Knight ending theme at all.

No wonder only one person got this correct.

I decided to do a Super Mario RPG theme since that game's remake is coming up. I only heard too late that this is a rearrangement of "Battle Against An Armed Boss", but luckily, nobody guessed that.
In the meantime, I got to watch the cutscene for this theme synced to this theme, which makes me think that this theme is Mickey Mousing a little too closely at times...
