Good Saturday afternoon, friends; I've snagged the opportunity during the course of this weekend to get our "Music File Statistics" Rankings Document up to date before the new work week itself arrives.
And as we suspected, due to the recent updates that were posted which involved our newest Super Nintendo music styled arrangement covers involving songs from Mario Kart Tour, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, both categories of said document got affected as a result. Although our changelog notes the majority of the recent activity to the aforementioned document today, the general takeaways are the following:
(1) On the "Featured Mario Game Installments" Side:
* The Mario Kart Tour installment is now tied at rank #12 (alongside New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Sports Mix, and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch version)).
* Super Mario Party Jamboree has made a jump from the #32 rank to the #23 rank.
* Super Mario Bros. Wonder has made some advances from the #23 rank to be currently tied in rank #19 (alongside WarioLand: Shake It!).
(2) On the "Featured Super Nintendo Music Instrument Sets" Side:
* The Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose! instrument set (Konami) is now tied usage wise at rank #3 (alongside the instrument set for The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse (Capcom/Disney).
* The Tiny Toon Adventures: Wacky Sports Challenge instrument set (Konami) is currently standing at the #9 rank.
* Both instrument sets for Castlevania: Dracula X (Konami) and SmartBall (Sony Imagesoft) currently stand tied in the #10 rank (after covers using these sets were posted targeting songs from Super Mario Bros. Wonder).
* Finally, the Super Castlevania IV instrument set (Konami) has a slight jump two ranking spots to now be tied at #17 (alongside Disney's Bonkers (Capcom) and Mega Man Soccer (Capcom)).
And it seems that even though this is the first document update for 2025, we're just getting started. Time will tell and God only knows if any new music arrangement postings will usurp both of these categories further, so stay tuned on this angle as the months progress forward.
Until then, and as always, if you have any further questions regarding this document update itself today, please don't hesitate to send an inquiry my direction and I'll see about getting back to you about it during the next work week itself. Take care for now, everyone; I'm out.
