This is the OST to Gimmick! for the Famicom! But in my own form of Stereo! Which spreads the sound channels and adds a bit of echo/reverb. These mixes also do not represent true, original, or actual stereo that the NES has, this is just to make the music sound more clear and crisp, and is another way of listening to the greatness of 8Bit music. So enjoy this soundtrack in what I like to call, WiiGuy's 8Bit Stereo!! :D

Met the guy that made these tunes in Japan, he is such a lovely guy!
You did? In which context?
Square sounds tokyo 2013. He was visiting and taking pictures here and there.
Got him on facebook and every time a common friend has a birthday he posts the birthday tune from gimmick! :D
I just saw the 'digging through the carts'' documentary (episode 2) and I was so sad to find out he quit because he didn't know just how well his music was being received. Thank goodness he saw the tribute band and it reignited his musical flame. The area he lives looks so peaceful
That documentary is great. Really emotional stuff.
What's his fb name?
Sunsoft announced a release of the game's soundtrack on vinyl and cassette at the Sunsoft is Back!
Every single theme in this ost sounds like the opening to either an anime or a sitcom, with no in between. Convince me otherwise
If that guy who makes Acapella versions of video game music (Smooth McGroove) did at least one of these songs, that would truly make my day!
Sunsoft does what Nintendon't!
As someone who has nothing but nostalgia for Kirby I can happily say Gimmick is easily a better game than the NES Kirby. The very fact that there is a learning curve and the incredible pacing of that curve is proof enough. Gimmick stands far above almost all other NES platformers in pretty much every category, with things like the seventh stage adding to the replayability without a weak hook like collection to seal the deal.
Of course to each their own.
This game is amazing in so many ways. Oddly, the reception in Scandinavian gaming magazines wasn't very enthusiastic. The price for a complete "SCN" version of Mr. Gimmick today is about 1000$ in Scandinavia. I was lucky to find a copy for my collection about 8 years ago. Price - approx 80$.
An already amazing soundtrack is even more mind-blowing in stereo. Great post!
Just became like my favorite NES soundtrack ever.
Sunsoft really wanted to make music that no one heard before on the Nes.They were really passionate about their music and it shows.This was a wonderful Famicom game I just love it!
This might be the most underrated VGM OST to date. I can't believe I've never heard of this game before.
Aporia is euphoria.
100%
This game is awesome. Thanks to emulation, I was able to play this awesome game. I told my Scandinavian math teacher about this game, and he loved it.
I never heard of this game before, but the soundtrack is just incredible.
I cannot believe Strange Memories Of Death wasn't used. It was easily the best song in the OST. So amazingly good!
I used to think about Demon Returns OST

Sunsoft are known for their iconic Drum and bass sounds, but the sound chip used in this game (esp. in track 2) really push the limits on the NES. So much so it sounds almost 16 bit! An amazing piece of work!
I like to see classic SunSoft as the TREASURE of the 8-bit era; pushing technical limitation barriers, then breaking them open with a sledgehammer, and making them their bitch, all with insane amounts of creativity and style. Revenge of the Joker, Mr. Gimmick, U-Four-ia (I know, it's really hebereke but I like bop louie) and Journey to Silius are easily some of my favorite games on the NES, and U-four-ia is one of my favorite games overall.
A contender for the best NES game, no hyperbole. The game is amazing.
***** Sunsoft games in general were the most advanced games on the platform. They had a proper composer for their music and used a special soundchip in their cartridges. The same thing was done with Kirby's Dreamland 3, I believe. Considering this game came out in 1993, at the end of the NES's lifespan, they were making use of the full capabilities of the system.
Eric Slattery It's obvious that I meant the NES as the 8 bit console that Nintendo made. It doesn't matter how long they kept it in production. By 1993, the console had run its course. Technically the 2600 was discontinued in the early 90's, but no one really cares because it was irrelevant by the late 80's.
if by that you mean a game so hard you have stockholms syndrome by the end then yeah I guess it's the best. cute tho
I love how there is the Scandinavian box art instead of the Japanese one.
Stage 1 def reminds me of Katamari Damacy
Anyway, hats off to the composer for using every trick in the book to make you forget about the limited number of sound channels and for just making really solid tunes.
Hmm, that sounds like the bass from a Sunsoft game.
...Yup, it is!
17:21 is some Bitchin chune for sure! But really this whole soundtrack is something special to be admired for all time! 21:03 is also just amazing!
Mr. Gimmick! is awesome! There was so much effort behind this game. This is a great treasure for all NES collectors. Great that it did make to Europe but it's still so damn rare here...
I remember playing this game as a child (in Sweden) and loving it.
My parent occasionally gave me a "gaming ban" but at times allowed me to start a game without actually playing it, and I used to do it with this game just to listen to the music.
13-15 years later I discovered the rarity of this game, many years after I sold it on a flea market for a mere dollar or so (just about when N64 was released).
Hands down one of my favourite games on the NES.
There's even some kind of horn sound in there, it's awesome.
I LOVE this game! It has Top notch musical arrangements, sound quality, and game play. Sunsoft/someone needs to bring back the Yumetaro in a big way!
That first track makes my ears melt off with joy.
It's like eating melting cheese off a pan of mac & cheese, mmmm X3
Amazing Music, Sophia Haunted me.
A true gem. Cartridge is hard to come by, but I have one from when I was a kid. Incredibly hard to beat (I haven't done it). Best NES soundtrack. Period.
Between this and Super Mario 3, yes..best NES soundtracks, hands down..
For all of those who thought this music was from Demon Returns, you were wrong!
This is quite amusing. Almost all NES Sunsoft games had their music composed/programmed by the Naoki Kodaka and Nobutuki Hara tag team. This is the only NES game not to have any input from there, which is strange considering how impressive it is. I wonder what happened to those guys, and why they weren't called up for the game.
Oh Sun soft, always a god. yyds
Because this is Sunsoft. Noone could have done the OST better than they did.
except maybe Tim Follin
This game is really challenging but addicting too, makes you want to keep trying.
I think Kirby's Adventure is a very close second for me. I think it is just a perfectly designed and lovable NES game.
To everybody who had this game in Japan or Scandinavia:
You had a good childhood.
7:45 Paradigm is definitely one of my favorite tracks in this game.
Best NES soundtrack by far
26:55
The song they didn't use... why?
I've never paid attention to the music before and just.. wow... The music is making me so comfortable and happy :) Thanks for your awesome job!
Hands down, this is the best NES game.
The best game on the NES *-* i love it
yessss, Good Weather is my favorite NES track of all time
the game, the soundtrack, and the 5b chip.
ALL UNDERRATED
Long tomorrow is so catchy
Good Morning is so...good. I wish it could be extended.
The beginning of unused "Strange Memories of Death" reminds me of "Aha - Take On Me" beginning
Wow, what ambience this has in a stereo mix!!
i played this on nes long long ago. its just incredibly hard!! and cute...
❤💙
This is what the sun sounds like... Bliss...
Good Morning has this melody and mix that just brings a tear to one's eye. Just listen to those bass chords. Although I prefer the mono version.
The best sound of NES, in my opinion.
***** *Famicom
The music on the PAL NES version is quite lacking, in comparison, they could've converted it way better.
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!!!! I can't believe the awesomeness of the music of this very unknown game! This really is at the top of Sunsoft NES music! I heard about the music of Mr. Gimmick but now I trust them!
I never played the game but only for the music I think it must be an excellent game!!!
These are my top 5 favorites:
1-Paradigm
2-Cadbury (with intro)
3-Aporia
4-Identity Believer
5-Nothing to Lose
... all of them make me feel so excited!
About Paradox I feel that this must have been a Boss Theme too.
And Strange Memories of Death is for me a much more appropriate music for a good ending.
I can´t believe this music was made in YM2149+NES sound chip. Amazing!
Sunsoft does what nobody else does :P
*****
Yeah ^^
YM2149 was only used in the Japanese version.
They also created a 2D Saturn fighter in 720p. They were going to do that with Waku Waku 7, but SNK were a bunch of dicks to them and so they quit the company so that their new game would be exclusive to SEGA and they could go all out.
Source?
By the way, the untitled track is labeled "EVIDENCE OF MY LIFE" in OST collections later released by Sunsoft. (They list all the songs in caps.)
I just got into this game.. It's a CHALLENGE to say the least. Very addicting though! nailing/riding a perfect star shot feels soooo good.
This game is so amazing
thanks joel
amo el soundtrack de este juego para mi uno de los mejores del nes mis favorito son
Good weather
Slow Illusion
Good morning
Sophia
Good night
Strange memories of Death
black jan 477 verdade 😄😄
yo también: como dato curioso es que este cartucho tanto el japones como el escandinavo de nes! usaban un chip de sonido especial por esa esta música tan buena! creo que es la mejor banda sonora de toda la era 8 bit de nes! y le hare un revew en mi canal
@@caseyjones8949 permite Corrite amigo solo la ver japo tiene los canales extra la pal no ya que los nes americanos y europeos a nivel de hardware por alguna razón no permite expansión de audio asi que sunsoft tuvo que adaptar la musica a los cinco canales de audio del nes sacrificando muchos instrumentos y esto se nota en shopia take 2
@@mrjab6313 gracias por la info y esto tambien ocurre a la hora de emular el rom japones?
@@caseyjones8949 no hay problema puedes emular la version japo sin temor eso si hay emus que no traen programado el sunsoft 5b pero son pocos y nadie los usa los mas recomendable para jugar gimmick! Son el virtualnes fcultra y mesen
AMAZING!
Top 3:
3.- Cadbury
2.- Aporia
1.- Strange Memories of Death
What about identity believer ,lion heart and long tomorrow
@@sluggy68 Very good as well! This whole OST is pure gold.
When I read the comments about how hard this game is to beat I wonder if I and my best friend were badass on NES games back in the days. I beat this game when I was 11 and my best friend who borrowed that and Eliminator Boat Duel did beat them before me. But when I go back to the game today I can beat it very easily and it doesn't stop me to play it over and over again. That's my friends is called replayable value for your buck. And NES was that kind of game system which did that to you.
NES wins in all categories: music, gameplay, controller system and replayability.
How come nobody ever talks about Long Tomorrow, it's right up there with Strange Memories of Death.
Love the boss theme in this game.
The problem is that games like Batman or Gremlins 2 are games based on movies, and I think that for legal reasons it's impossible to rerelease them. (licencing problems with movies studios)
You're right, I forgot about that!
I imported this famicom version and modified my nintendo just to hear those extra sound channels on this and Akumajou Densetsu and totally worth it. This game just adds three extra 50% pulse waves but it's orders of magnitude better than PAL Gimmick.
Actually, it has a bass sample as well.
@@aaroncrawford771 Very true, Sunsoft has that prominent bass sample in several games, but that's something the NES itself is already capable of producing. I was referring to Sunsoft's sound chip equipped in the came cartridge itself - a three-channel jobbie that just does square waves to richen track harmonies more or less.
This was kinda rare game, atleast in finland :P i still got this one for my nintendo :) amazing soundtrack.
What WiiGuy said is correct, specifically they're making pachinko machines and such now. They're also a partner for the Virtual Console and have re-released a few games there, along with cranking out a sequel to Blaster Master for the WiiWare platform.
This sure sounds strange compared to the original music. Interesting.
What a great soundtrack, made me download the japanese english patched rom =]
The game is already in English, I believe.
If you want to see a possible evolution of the Sunsoft Bass in the 16-bit era, you should check out games composed my Hitoshi Sakimoto, probably Devilish above all others (this is a good track for reference: /watch?v=kcOuJKQvP_A ). Sadly, the majority of his games can't match the excellence of their soundtracks.
really impressive sound quality for nes
It's because Sunsoft put a special audio chip into the cartridge :)
***** It didn't. Naoki Kodaka found unusual way to use NES sound chip and started to use this method in Sunsoft games.
Sure does, beats Mega Mans 2-6, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Adventure, Little Samson, and other great NES titles far behind.
9:06 sounds like it could be a Mario Kart song, haha
I know you made this 8 years ago, but do you happen to have this in WAV of FLAC?
Did you use the Japanese or Scandanavian soundtrack? If it's the Japanese OST, wouldn't this go in "16-bit Stereo"?
FUCK YEAH!
Actually, Super Fantasy Zone, is pretty amazing. But Sunsoft right now is making crappy iOS games and porting their games to the EShop. Also, I would love Gimmick for the WiiU EShop!
Hey Wiiguy, do you know what happened to Sunsoft? They made so many god tier games and soundtracks and then seemingly vanished after the gen aside from the ok Aero the Acrobat in the SNES/GEN era.
3:06
This sounds familiar? Isn't that from Super Mario Bros. Crossover?
This NES game was never released in North America. It was only released in Japan and in all European countries (Such as the United Kingdom).
Kuba Piesek
I owned it. lent it out to someone who wasn't man enough to give it back...
Kuba Piesek yes, but worth buying
Hadmin You thought it was trust...turns out to be *puts on sunglasses*
JUST A GIMMICK! yeaahhhh!
***** yeah!
Could you do a new mix of this please?
Hit this with that fresh reverb?
holy shit CZcams now has AUTO TIMESTAMPS
Yeah. Finally those pussies do something good.
seems that stole a sound chip of the Mega Drive/Genesis to achieve this lower line, but it is a special chip that does this. especially good soundtrack...
wow this game was relesed so dang late in the n.e.s lifetime practicaly at the end of the lifetime
How about a Virtual Console release or a remake?
Say it with me:
Sun
bro this has 666 likes. Hail santa. \m/
Sorry to say but Stage 6's theme repeats =(
I beat it, but I used save states so I feel like that I never gave the game justice. :(
I can't believe that this world will have to try to figure out why the fuck some random dude made all these NES soundtracks stereo, when they were 100000% perfect how they were already
Here is the PAL sounding: watch?v=OCgPKNnmBAo
0:20
Y'know Sunsoft never used a sound chip for this game, it was due to a DPCM sample (that base sound ya hear repeating) and the extra Famicom sound channel that this game sounds the way it is...just saying, no offense to people who thought otherwise
:/
The Famicom version uses a variation of Sunsoft's FME-7 memory management controller known as "SUNSOFT 5B", which, in addition to the functionality provided by the stock FME-7, features a Yamaha YM2149 PSG audio chip to provide three additional channels for music and sound. Since the NES only uses five sound channels, the extra sound channels were excluded from the European release.
que?
It probably mistaken activated the anti-piracy. Grrrr.
Plus, Gimmick would get more well-known to other gamers. And Sunsoft would make money off of this.
Was this game ever released on the NES? Because I can't find it anywhere?
It was only released in Japan and in Scandinavia in EU which explains the PAL box art, and it is quite uncommon, and an underrated gem of major proportions.
Oh thats too bad, who knows, maybe it'll be released on the Wii U eshop. But most likely won't :/ anyway, thanks.
samwyze64
If it will be, only in Japan or PAL region.
FerzenChannel Ufouria(a PAL and JPN exclusive by Sunsoft) made it's way to the eshop here so the possibility isn't gone.
I believe it's the PAL version.
Or maybe there's something wrong with the cartridge. Grrrr.
