Hi there, friends; happy Monday to all of you here on these music operations as a whole. So here's what's been going on - I hoped that during the past weekend I would have gotten a new article written up elaborating about recent update activity for our "Music File Statistics Rankings Document" that was done late last week (and this was following all of the new file additions that were made targeting songs from Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, WarioWare: Get It Together!, and Super Mario 3D All-Stars). But after noticing that there was some inconsistency with certain numbers (especially in regards to the first category which denotes how many files are available for checking out for each featured Mario game installment listed (including main installments, spinoff installments, and "branched" insallments) not matching the numbers listed on this page), I snagged the time during the previous weekend itself to get that matter corrected on said document instead. This should all be accounted for and the document is now on standby once again as new Super Nintendo music styled covers get posted during the course of possibly this week and next week (but especially before we hit the "Christmas holidays period" which is coming sooner than we think!).
That all said, there are still some quick noteworthy things that I need to share on this posting even though it has already been shared technically on the related changelog:
First, in regards to the "Featured Mario Game Installments" category of the document:
* Because of the recent music file additions made from this update last week, the Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury installment now has the #1 spot that was previously held by Super Paper Mario (which has now dropped to the #2 position; the Game & Wario installment ends the "top three ranks" in that category still at this time).
* WarioWare: Get It Together! makes its debut on said category in rank #28 while Super Mario 3D All-Stars (focused on songs from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine) makes its debut in rank #24.
Next, in the case of the "Featured Super Nintendo Instrument Sets" category, that portion definitely got shaken up since late last month and I have a feeling it's only the start of what's coming down the road. Details on this angle are as follows:
* Biker Mice From Mars (Konami) - This instrument set jumped three ranks up and it's currently sitting in the #23 spot after new covers targeting songs from Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury were posted on 11/27/'21.
* Disney's Magical Quest 2 (The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey & Minnie) (Capcom/Disney) - This one made a jump four positions and is now tied in the #14 spot with the instrument set for Animaniacs (Konami); this occured when songs from Super Mario 3D All-Stars were posted last week (Super Mario 64 side).
* Bugs Bunny: Rabbit Rampage (Sunsoft/Viacom New Media) - Slight jump on this one; now it is currently tied in the #10 spot alongside The Adventures of Batman & Robin (Konami).
And as stated earlier, this is only just the beginning of this document entirely getting rocked in the coming days. What changes could be next as new files get posted for these operations during that time? You'll have to stay tuned to find out. Until then, I'll see you awesome people later. Take care, all!
