Duuude, this is sooo sick. Every subtle nuance of the original arrangement is here and Done On mario paint of all places. So good!

[@DominoAndReglisse]

Thanks!

[@InsolentHalo]

Seriously, the detail. I am loving this.

[@Alouette_EXE]

I remembered I use to be confused on the music's emotions as a kid. It sounds kinda happy and tragic. This is just nostalgic and this cover is fairly accurate too.

[@DominoAndReglisse]

"It sounds kinda happy and tragic."
Are you talking about your confusion with musical emotions, as a kid, or about what you feel with this particular piece ?
If this is the second case, it's original and interesting.

[@Alouette_EXE]

@@DominoAndReglisse just how i felt about that song. But that was long ago and now i understand it. That song kinda use to haunt me as a kid and it's nostalgic too.

[@DominoAndReglisse]

Thank you :)

Reproduire une musique comme celle-là sans omettre aucune note... tu as sûrement du écouter cette musique avec des casques des milliers de fois avant ee la "retranscrire", et encore!!!! Ouaou... ton ouï est spectaculaire.

[@DominoAndReglisse]

Merci beaucoup ! En effet, pour moi, de très nombreuses écoutes sont nécessaires pour démêler certains passages, parfois même au point de se lasser... Après avoir bouclé une transcription, j'ai pas mal de difficulté à entendre la musique d'une oreille "neuve" et à retrouver mes impressions antérieures - C'est la chose un peu dommage. Par contre c'est toujours un exercice intéressant et enrichissant.

@@DominoAndReglisse je t'admire!!!!! 🙏🏻

Damn, amazing cover like always bud, you nailed the atmosphere of this one dead to rights. It sounds very foreboding and ominous, like you know shit is about to hit the fan. Would love to hear your take on Alien's Lair, but the Contra Rebirth edition where the hook repeats twice before going back into the loop.

[@DominoAndReglisse]

Thanks for the comment and recommendation.
I didn't know the Alien's lair track. After comparison, I think I like the arcade version more :

... but without the repeats, the track feel a little short indeed ; a small development should be added to it.

[@becongeneral]

It's just not the same without the Tri-Transforming Wall Walker's heavy thuds after a minute in.

[@DominoAndReglisse]

You've got a point there. That said, recreating those SFX in Mario Paint would not have been an easy task.

[@blablatidibi1]

T'es un ouf mon gars !!!

[@DominoAndReglisse]

Hé ! coucou sœurette :)

[@garrethboland5646]

HAHAH this kicks ass

[@DominoAndReglisse]

Thanks !

I beat Contra 3 on easy it didn't seem easy but I still beat it on the last level it was very difficult

[@TubeOfLaughes]

play it on normal, or you don't get to fight the actual final boss
