The SSBB History Lesson (see first post)

Very nice. Thanks for the detailed pieces of information.

Looking awesome Nai! A couple things though.

The first game Yoshi appeared in was actually the NES puzzle game "Yoshi." In this game, Pirahna Plants, Goombas, Boos, and Bloopers would fall like Tetris and you'd have to stack them. Tops and bottoms to Yoshi eggs would also fall and you'd have to try to complete an egg to get a baby Yoshi and more points. It can be downloaded on the VC for 500 points.

Here's a scan from the Super Mario World instruction manual in case there is any confusion as to how Yoshi got those powers...


And is there any chance of you updating the music section with the Animal Crossing music (Go K.K. Rider!)? I haven't had a chance to play Animal Crossing and would love to see the history behind the music...it sounds great!

 

[SSBBFan101]

[Shadowking]

Of what? Animal Crossing? Is it the DS version that K.K. Rider is from? Hm...anyways, stay on topic please.

Yoshi's debut might be confusing for some, but Yoshi (also known as Yoshi's Egg) was released for the NES after Super Mario World was released for the SNES. Super Mario World was released November 21, 1990 in Japan, while Yoshi was released December 14 1991. Nintendo actually went on to release a more games for the NES until 1995 when it was officially discontinued.

Also, thanks so much for the scan from the instruction manual, I will add it to original post.

Finally, as soon as I find the original song for K.K. Rider, I will put it up. I haven't played Animal Crossing so it'll be harder to find if I don't know where to look.

Really? That seems odd...it makes sense that Super Mario World would come first but with Yoshi being on the NES you'd think it had come first

Anytime ^_^

Finally, as soon as I find the original song for K.K. Rider, I will put it up. I haven't played Animal Crossing so it'll be harder to find if I don't know where to look.

Cool thanks! ^_^

Oh, and thanks for the Space Armada history! I thought it was just a remix of the Melee song (Corneria) with a twist to make it sound like Star Fox: Assault! I suppose it is to an extent, but I didn't know it was actually in a Star Fox game! Makes sense that it was from the only one I haven't played =P

EDIT: @Wario2ooo: Yoshi's Cookie was for the SNES...

 

[WuddlePook]

Just saying excellent work with this. To get out of your way and research the roots of the game is outstanding. You get a cookie!

And is there any chance of you updating the music section with the Animal Crossing music (Go K.K. Rider!)? I haven't had a chance to play Animal Crossing and would love to see the history behind the music...it sounds great!

Upon special request from S.S., I have updated the Music section with some history behind Animal Crossing's Go K. K. Rider! Please take a look and feel free to let me know if there are any problems.

--Animal Crossing: Go K. K. Rider!

[media]http://filer.case.edu/vhc/SSBB%20History/Music/Animal%20Crossing-%20Go%20K.K.%20Rider.mp3[/media]

I have never played Animal Crossing, so I did a little bit of sleuthing to find out more about this piece. Animal Crossing was originally released in Japan for the N64 on April 14, 2001. However, just 8 months later, it was ported to the Gamecube on December 14, 2001 with a US release on September 15, 2002. As many of you already know, Animal Crossing is an open-ended "social simulator" that allows players to live their lives without any mandatory objectives. Many events occur at certain times of the day and on certain days of the week.

This song originally appears in Animal Crossing as one of K. K. Slider's "secret songs". Every Saturday night at 8:00pm, K. K. Slider (also known as Totakeke) will appear in front of the train station and take song requests. By typing in the correct name, K. K. Slider will play it for you.

[media]http://filer.case.edu/vhc/SSBB%20History/Music/K%20K%20Rider.mp3[/media]

From what I've seen, there are over 50 tunes that K. K. Slider will play. Some of them even stem from other popular games like Legend of Zelda (so I've heard). With the September 7 update of multiple songs for each stage, you can expect more of Slider's tunes to make it into the final product.

Awesome thanks!

I wonder if that's the one that'll be played at 8:00 Saturday night...the live performance?

That's really cool how Sakurai slipped in yet another referance to the game =D

*repped*

EDIT: It won't let me rep you...?

"You must spread some reputation around before giving it to naisatoh again"

But the last person I repped was Redfox >_<

Well thanks for trying :lol:

Anyway.. Music Section has been updated with Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I spend a bit of time collecting each of these songs. Enjoy!!

--The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time Medley

[media]http://filer.case.edu/vhc/SSBB%20History/Music/The%20Legend%20of%20Zelda%20-%20Ocarina%20of%20Time%20Medley.mp3[/media]

From its memorable characters to its polished gameplay, and right down to its incredible score, The Legend of Zelda is a gaming franchise that requires no introduction. It should come without surprise that with so many different melodies throughout its history, there is really no better way to capture it all than to create a medley.

For this piece, five themes have been chosen from the Ocarina of Time. More specifically, these tunes were all played on the Ocarina itself. In order of appearance, the featured songs are the Song of Storms, Epona's Song, the Song of Time, Saria's Song, and Zelda's Lullaby. Instead of using the Ocarina versions of each song, I have decided to upload the arranged versions that are heard at different points during the game.

Windmill Hut (Song of Storms):

Lon Lon Ranch (Epona's Song):

Lost Woods (Saria's Song):
