Btw with the hints. Since you don't all know me that well, I'll explain how simple these hints are. At least one of these becomes obvious by looking at the main site, at least another by simply Googling the clue, and at least one more by simple word association (synonym/antonym). Just a fun way to give a little help but not directly.

I... won?

wat

I have a feeling you'll keep the lead based on which melodies are in this round, but we'll see.

The updating seems to have worked despite downloading issues today. All three files are uploaded with Libera's changes and the quarter notes. (I didn't add the key signature.) Thanks for the feedback, Libera.

https://youtu.be/H5rwqP2-RcY

The YouTube video is properly named. Although Railway Canyon also plays this track, Tombstone Pass comes first.

I recognize that this one needs some work, heh.

https://youtu.be/dX6zsQ-kzjo?t=362 (You'll need to start at 6:02.)

I've seen no evidence that an additional 215 tempo exists, so I have it capped at 200 at the moment. The tempos will probably require an audit later since I'm not good enough at this one to record it and there aren't many proper videos of this one.

Some may remember that I previously submitted an arrangement of this song that wasn't my own. That arrangement was not referenced in the making of this one, however.

And yeah, Levi, the bassline does sound like Popeye's for some reason.

[You can DM me in order to confirm that a song comes from a certain game before searching through an OST.]

Differences:
This quiz is graded cumulatively. For example, if you get 2 on quiz d and 1 on quiz g, you'd get a score of 3 overall.
If there's a Melody that no one guesses, everyone will be given a hint each round until one person gets it.
No cheats or series guesses this time.

Edit: Oh yeah, these are numbered starting with 0 for a reason. The first digit will tell you which quiz it originally came from. For example, melody 69 is the 70th overall and the 10th melody on the 7th quiz. If that confuses you, then don't worry about it.

Wow, this is an old thread. I was six when this topic was originally posted.

nintenerd542, I doubt you still check these forums, but your request has finally been fulfilled, eleven years later. Parachute is already on the site, and Fire will make it in the next (regular) update. I did choose from G&WG(1) for Fire since G&WG4's OST is tr since it's originally from 1, and 4 doesn't add much. Even though you may have moved on from playing piano since 2009, maybe at some point you'll remember this site, come look at it, and notice that these sheets finally exist. I hope, anyway.

[mastersuperfan:]

Whoa, was this hard to do, lol. For my next one, I'll break it up into 10 separate parts scored cumulatively, but more details on that later. Let's see the answers for this one!

Convo with mastersuperfan about this one

mastersuperfan:
yeah now I do recognize the atmospheric sound effect
yeahhhh
good thing I asked for a hint lol
wait
is this even from the same track?
ShyYoshiGuy:
Fairly certain. I downloaded it from a YouTube video like that
One of the few I couldn't possibly find on Khinsider
mastersuperfan:
I think they're different tracks... I found the one that matches the 5-second version but not the ambient one
ShyYoshiGuy:
The ambient noise is at the end for some reason
mastersuperfan:
well
I'll just submit the title for the 5-second one for now
ShyYoshiGuy:
Ok
mastersuperfan:
and if it's right, I'm interested to se what youtube video you're using that has that ambient sound effect at the end
ShyYoshiGuy:
Sounds like a deal
mastersuperfan:
submitted
ShyYoshiGuy:
So yeah, that's the game
The other two gave a different title
mastersuperfan:
this is the track you sent me as the 5-second one
hence why I think they're from different tracks
ShyYoshiGuy:
And the YouTube video has a third title
I'll give it to you because this is so confusing. Track names are annoying
mastersuperfan:
yeah I think you need to double-check the video you're using
ShyYoshiGuy:
https://youtu.be/UmUX10xFatQ

mastersuperfan:
yeah so I think whoever used this video forgot to crop the end part off
which belongs to a different track
ShyYoshiGuy:
Lol
That's funny
mastersuperfan:
yeah did they say "A Desolate World"?
ShyYoshiGuy:
You're right. It sounds like the following song in the playlist
mastersuperfan:
or "Ruined World"
ShyYoshiGuy:
They said "Time Gate"
mastersuperfan:
there's... not even a track called "Time Gate" in the soundtrack
as far as I can tell
ShyYoshiGuy:
I don't even know
mastersuperfan:
also
the track after this one in the playlist
"24 Ruined World"
this is actually the wrong track lol
Ruined World/A Desolate World is a different track entirely
so the person who made this playlist is smoking something strong
ShyYoshiGuy:
Lol
This is what happens when I make Melody Quizzes of games I'm unfamiliar with, lol
mastersuperfan:
yeah so I looked into it some more
this track was not actually included in the released soundtrack
ShyYoshiGuy:
Dude

I'm never doing one that long again (in one session), I'm never doing cheats again, I'm never doing series guesses again. Lesson learned.

[left]

I love it, thank you guys. It sounds really nice.

Two things then:
 - I'm stupid. The tempo note at the top left doesn't have a period at the end.

 - How do you find out if Jin Sugita is in fact the sole composer? If he is, I'd remove Yoko Mizuta's name.

You cannot view this attachment.

Other than that, if you agree with the rhythms, then it looks/sounds good to me.

You might wanna check your math there

Got ahead of myself there. Fixed. Thank you.

All three files are updated with the grace notes and the tempo text that fell off of the sheet.


Tempos:
This is the base tempo:

https://youtu.be/irZnWlRWgtY?t=273 (Timestamp 4:33)
msf found quarter=168

This is the fastest tempo:

https://youtu.be/rrRdqhCY-4s
msf found quarter=264

This is gameplay I recorded directly from my GBA: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wvbxuh9cze6wyyg/Fire%20Gameplay.mp3?dl=1
This (hopefully) clearly shows that six tempos play.

Anyways, with 168, 26**3** and six we get:
168, 187, 206, 225, 244, & 263 - all whole numbers spaced by 19 beats each

What's the best way to do this? I still prefer the 168-263 range for simplicity.

I've added a 2021 Addendum. Just includes a little more of the process.

The mystery of Retro Theme 1's whereabouts will live on forever...

There're several retro themes, lol.

Thanks. There's a lot to go through here so we'll post here as we go through it.

For starters, I'm removing "Starshroom" from Super Mario Galaxy (duplicate of "The Toad Brigade"). It's incomplete and less polished.

Cool, cool. Glad my work will be of use.

I've updated OP. (For any of you Forumers)
