Debate topic for next Tuesday: Are cannons truly valid instruments for an orchestra? Or should they be replaced with something safer, like Tesla coils?

Quote from: Olimar12345 on July 14, 2017, 09:19:21 PMtldr any pikmin or should I go back to what I was doing?
There are no Pikmin melodies in my current quiz.

Speaking of that, maybe I will go with some last-minute hints:
  • If you aren't sure about a melody, PM me your remarks about it anyway. I'll PM you back about whether you're on the right track.
  • The more obscure the song, the more lax my marking is.
  • #1, #4, #5, #8, #15, #17, #2f, and #3f have transcriptions on NinSheetMusic. In addition, #10 and #13 are from remixes of songs with transcriptions on NinSheetMusic. I make no guarantees about the accuracy of those transcriptions.
  • #1 and #17 are supposed to be easy. I'm surprised how many people aren't getting #1 right so far.
  • Unlike some of my previous quizzes, there are NO Pokemon songs, NO Shovel Knight songs, and NO Touhou songs in this quiz.
  • Just like all of my previous quizzes, there are NO Zelda songs in this quiz.
  • The only series with more than one song in this quiz are Mario, Kirby, and arguably Super Smash Bros. None of the other songs share a series.
  • There is one Mega Man song and one Sonic song in this quiz.

It's been more than 24 hours, and only 3 people have submitted guesses so far. In case you've forgotten, here's my latest Guess-The-Song Quiz:

Quote from: Dekkadeci on July 12, 2017, 09:06:30 AMHere's my fourth Guess-The-Song Quiz:
[PDF] | [MIDI] | [MUS] | [MSCZ]

The MUS is readable in Finale, including Finale Notepad. The MSCZ is readable in Musescore. All other files are based on the original MSCZ, not the MUS--this explains why the PDF doesn't look like the MUS.
The MUS may display and/or play back bugged. The MSCZ, MIDI, and PDF shouldn't.

Surprise--I've included exactly 5 final boss themes in this quiz, and they're all in a bonus section! All final boss themes are labelled #1f through #5f. I will reveal separate tallies for the main section, the final boss bonus section, and both sections combined when I post the results.

With that being said, the rest of the songs are from a wide array of series, and they're likely more difficult overall than my third quiz...although I did throw in some much easier ones, I believe. Don't worry if you know only one song--you might be the only one to get it right!

You can PM answers to me until Saturday, July 15 at 1:00 PM MDT (a.k.a. Saturday, July 15 8:00 PM forum default time). I will not count any submissions made after that time, as I'll be too busy tallying results.
Results will be posted shortly afterwards.

Some guidelines for answering, how the melodies are transcribed, and what counts as a correct answer:
  • You may submit YouTube links/videos instead of game name-song name/best known use pairs.
  • All tempos are approximate.
  • Like last time, I will mark unambiguous songs with the right melody in the right key as correct. If your guess has the right melody in the wrong key, I will mark it as incorrect but PM back that you were close. You can freely guess again until the deadline.
  • I may not have gotten octave voicings correct in this quiz. If you think you've got the right song but it's off by an octave or two in parts, just guess that song anyway.
  • The high F note in the fourth bar of #1, #6, #15, the third bar of #3f, and #4f are less likely to be completely melodically and/or rhythmically accurate than the rest of the melodies.
  • You are still expected to submit game name-song name/best known use pairs or YouTube links/videos for the final boss bonus section. Hint 1: Giving game names alone for the bonus section results in ambiguous answers. Hint 2: At least one final boss in this section has at least two stages.
  • The last note of #6 is cut off.
  • The last bar of #1 is incompletely transcribed.
  • Due to the nature of their source songs, I am more likely to accept melodic variants of #7 and #17 as correct. Get the keys right, though.

Sorry, I like some of their designs more than others.

TPBM knows the difference between legendary and mythical Pokemon.

Cool stuff. Now have fun with THC's quiz.
Are you sure only 4 people got the Spark Man theme correct?

Another discrepancy and I request a recount for the entire quiz.

Just released my Impromptu-Scherzo in G Minor. It sounds a lot like classical music even though it's in quintuple meter...don't you think?

Kirby's Blowout Blast spoilers below, although there are reasons why I've ended up not posting them for so long...
Spoiler
  • This game resembles Kirby's Dream Land and therefore the "Spring Breeze" sub-game of Kirby Super Star a LOT.
  • Like those two (sub-)games above, Kirby has no copy abilities, enough of the bosses come back, enough of the old school enemies come back...
  • Even worse, you fight some bosses multiple times (a la Kirby and the Rainbow Curse)!
  • IMO, it's bad news that one of the most innovative features in the closest this game has to a plot is (Giant) Masked Dedede coming back.
  • Even the music comes back--tons of this game's OST is remixed from the OST of Kirby's Dream Land. The Giant Masked Dedede theme combines the Masked Dedede theme and the Team Kirby Clash Deluxe version of the Castle Lololo/Dyna Blade theme.
  • In case you couldn't tell, Giant Masked Dedede is (the last stage of) the true final boss. Man, am I having Kirby's Dream Land flashbacks in a bad way...
  • Well, at least some songs from later than the very first Kirby game show up, too...at least when you place Amiibos nearby...

Unfortunately, I understood E. Gadd's reference.

TPBM has visited the Audio Network website at least once.

Quote from: LuxraySpiral on July 07, 2017, 08:27:08 AMI don't think anyone here has even heard of the Puyo puyo series. I shouldn't expect people to know tracks from a Japan-exclusive game lol.
The soundtrack is definitely worth taking a look, though.
I played Puyo Pop Fever and got recommendations (I mean GaMetal requests) to listen to music from other Puyo Puyo games. I hear at least one Puyo Puyo theme was reused in a Sonic spinoff game...

Nope.

TPBM has played Minecraft and/or has seen someone else play Minecraft.
