This is the music that plays at the character select screen in classic EverQuest, but the melody and chords have been replaced with the main theme from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The joke is that both songs can be heard from character selection menus, but mostly I wanted an excuse to create more EverQuest rips, and Smash Ultimate was topical at the time. This was uploaded during the Grinch Takeover event, where one of the accepted themes was Super Smash Bros.

Float Islands (Beta Mix)
This is the song that plays in the third stage of Kirby’s Dream Land, but the melody and chords have been replaced with Peach Beach/Daisy Cruiser from Mario Kart: Double Dash. An old, popular rip of Peach Beach had been recently taken down, and I decided to submit a rip commemorating it. I already recreated Float Islands in LSDJ for a scrapped rip, and since both are island tunes, they fit together perfectly.
Scarlet O’Hara? – Uninvited
This is the theme that plays during the ghost lady’s scene in Uninvited, but with the melody and bassline replaced with Basket Case by Green Day, and later Superman by Goldfinger. I used Basket Case because the first few notes and chords sounded so similar. I used Superman because there are parts of that which sound very similar to Basket Case. Since the source is an NES song, I had to learn to use FamiTracker to make this rip.
Red Canyon – Kirby’s Dream Land 2
This is the music that plays in Level 5 of Kirby’s Dream Land 2, but with the melody and chords replaced with Take On Me by a-ha. This is actually an LSDJ cover of an existing rip, Yogurt Yard – Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. It was submitted during the Nostalgia Critic Takeover. The Nightmare in Dream Land song and the Kirby’s Dream Land song are both recreations of Yogurt Yard, from Kirby’s Adventure. I wanted to submit a “de-make” of the Nightmare in Dream Land rip, but since I’m more comfortable working in LSDJ than FamiTracker, I used Red Canyon.
Main Theme – Shrek: Fairy Tale Freakdown
This is an LSDJ remix of All Star by Smash Mouth, but the notes have been changed to Meet the Flintstones. It’s a combination of an existing rip (Main Theme (Beta Mix) – Shrek) and my existing Shyabeetus remix of All Star. Every year that I attend MAGFest, I perform a slightly different version of my All Star remix, and this was the one I performed in 2018. The breakdown section features samples from Joel’s reaction to 7 Grand Dad.
Green Greens (OST Version) – Kirby’s Dream Land
This is the theme from the first stage in Kirby’s Dream Land, but the melody and chords have been replaced with the North Qeynos theme from EverQuest. This is the inverse of my first rip on the channel.
Underwater Theme – EverQuest
This music begins as the underwater theme, but transitions into a cover of Ocean Man, by Ween. I believe this theme plays in a few areas in the game (possibly Kedge Keep), but I mostly wanted an excuse to cover Ocean Man.
Main Theme (Beta Mix) – Buck Bumble
This is the Buck Bumble theme, but with the melody changed to the Inspector Gadget theme, and the vocal samples are replaced with Mike Matei’s voice clips from Minecraft With Gadget. This was uploaded during the Inspector Gadget Takeover, where only rips referencing Inspector Gadget or Minecraft were uploaded. This was a fun way to practice sentence mixing, and I was able to study how Buck Bumble’s sequenced music was set up.
Final Boss – 8-Bit Beast’s Haunted House
This rip begins with an original arrangement of the Haunted House chords and the “slow gadunk” lead, before abruptly becoming a kazoo cover of Haunted House. I started this rip as a legitimate “Final Boss” rip, but ended up repurposing it for the Kazoo Day event.
Dark Castle – Kirby’s Dream Land 2
This is an LSDJ remix of the music that plays in Level 7 of Kirby’s Dream Land 2. Actually, it’s a remix of the Planet Robobot version. I felt bad for tricking people with Dark Castle (Neon Laboratory) and wanted to make an unironically good rip of that song. I decided to make a Shyabeetus remix, with arps, wave channel wubs, and of course, some Haunted House and Puzzle Room. I don’t think anyone understood my intentions, but it was a fun project nonetheless. It also fit in with the Christmas event, as one of the themes was Planet Robobot. I made sure to include Snow Halation and Haltmann’s theme as well.
