Christmas Greetings for 2019

Posted by Merit Celaire on Wednesday, December 25, 2019 - 09:07 AM


Our lead Mario female Princess Peach sharing Christmas greetings to everyone! (courtesy of Nintendo of America's special Happy Holidays website for 2019)

The day has finally arrived, everyone! From yours truly to all of you awesome and faithful followers/listeners of these music operations, I would like to definitely take the time this morning to wish each and every one of you a fantastic Christmas holiday itself today. As I say every year to you all around this time of the year, let's make sure to definitely make the most of this special day after we have first acknowledged the true reason as to why the Christmas holiday itself exists.

As a treat to make this special blog entry posting more festive, here is a posing/scene work that I've recently done using the XNA Posing Studio 3D application; as you can already tell, this features our three lead Mario females (which of course are Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, and Rosalina) from the Mario Kart 8 installment. I decided to use these models that were extracted and ported via certain communites which I'll mention later because of my doing recent Super Nintendo music style arrangements targeting the musical scores of that game and Mario Kart Tour this year (in which these three are also a part of as well). As you can tell, these three are ready for the Christmas holiday itself; I hope we are ready just as much as they are!


Scene/posing work done by yours truly featuring the lead Mario females from Mario Kart 8, ready for Christmas this year! Read below paragraph for further details/acknowledgements.

As for the featured models themselves in the above picture: once again, they are of the lead Mario females from Mario Kart 8; extracted from the Wii U game via certain "insiders" at the Models Resource community and ported for use in XNA Posing Studio by users Hakirya and FatalitySonic2 (DeviantArt members). Many thanks to those folks for making this scene/posing work opportunity that I'm sharing with you here possible.

Quick side note before I start to switch gears and prepare for Christmas happenings and meetup with my real life family/friends network today: I am still making plans to let you know about my next course of action for these operations before the 2019 year is out. But once again, for now, let's just make sure to enjoy this special holiday itself with our loved ones today; when all is said and done and you're all back home and resting, don't forget to join us again at our related "social media" portals at IRC, Twitter, and Discord (I'll still post an announcement about this site's Forum Portal which I'm still aware that it has been lying dormant for months). I'll still be at those three areas when I return from my annual Christmas meetup with family and friends later tonight. Until then, I'm out; see you all later.

"Super Mario Galaxy 2": New Music Arrangement Added - "Staff Credits"

Posted by Merit Celaire on Thursday, December 19, 2019 - 10:31 AM

It's been over two years since this page for our music operations (and our site for it) got new Super Nintendo arrangement styled covers targeting the score of this beloved aforementioned game developed for the Nintendo Wii console. Fast forward to today, and we can add finally add the latest cover to that list from yours truly: the "Staff Credits" music from Super Mario Galaxy 2 (using the instrument set/styling of "Disney's Magical Quest 1" (The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse) from Capcom/Dsiney). I've been wanting to do my take on this one for a few years now ever since I also did a SNES music styled cover of the "staff credits" music from the original Super Mario Galaxy game; after the course of two to three days, it's now ready for you all to check out for those who are really curious on how this said song would have sounded in the beloved SNES music style itself.

The only drawback... unlike my cover of the "staff credits" music from the original game that used all eight channels, I had to suffice using six channels in my cover of the "staff credits" music for Super Mario Galaxy 2 (because this was treated as a "gameplay level" like the staff credits layout for New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U); as you can tell, doing the arrangement process on the tracker backend was quite a challenge in itself to try and match how awesome the original song itself was as composed by lead composer Mahito Yokota. And I hope that with this music cover that I've just posted for you all here today for these operations, we still have given this original song itself justice (because the score overall for the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game itself is still to this day beyond epic).


And with that, we have posted our final Super Nintendo music styled arrangement for the 2019 year (amazingly, the last arrangment that we posted for these operations last year was covering a "staff credits" tune as well!). In the next few days (before the Christmas holiday period itself arrives, of course), I'll be making another announcement in regards to where things go from here as we start to close out 2019 overall. Stay tuned on that angle, and as always, if you have any problems with accessing this new music file itself in question, please do not hesitate to send me an email regarding your situation. Take care, everyone; I'm out.

"Mario Tennis Aces" Game Page Now In Action (With 6 New Arrangement Postings)

Posted by Merit Celaire on Wednesday, December 11, 2019 - 09:05 AM

Faithful friends/followers of this music operations, yours truly has been waiting for this day to arrive ever since the respective aforementioned installment was released last year for the Nintendo Switch console. As of the date and time of this blog entry posting, our newest game page for our operations has now been put in action... under the name of Mario Tennis Aces.

Along with this, six new Super Nintendo music style arrangements that I've done covering the Mario Tennis Aces score (which as you know, was composed by Motoi Sakuraba of CAMELOT, by the way) have been posted to start the same page off. But wait, there's more... four of those six new arrangement postings from yours truly involve a new featured instrument set addition as well: Konami's Lethal Enforcers (in which Kenichiro Fukui did the musical score for that game overall when it debuted in arcades, but Harumi Ueko did the instrument set creation for his arrangement for it when they were developing the SNES home console version based off of it). The other two was using the instrument set of Capcom's Mega Man Soccer, which I have used before to cover other songs done by Sakuraba done for previous Mario Tennis installments (like Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and Mario Tennis Open).

As for the new arrangements in question, they are the following:

Arrangements using the Lethal Enforcers instrument set (from Konami):
* Title Screen/Main Menu Theme
* Marina Stadium
* Adventure Mode: Boss Challenges
* Savage Sea

Arrangements using the Mega Man Soccer instrument set (from Capcom):
* Adventure Mode: Main Challenges
* Snowfall Mountain

Once again, this is only to get the page itself started; I haven't made any final decisions yet to target more songs from the Mario Tennis Aces game itself. However, that won't happen until during the course of next year; I want to shift gears and deal with making more progress on covering another "staff credits" song in hopes that I'll share it with all of you before 2019 is out. Stay tuned on that angle, and as always, if you have any issues with accessing the newest music arrangement files above, don't hesitate to send me an email letting me know about the situation. Thanks all, and see you awesome people next time! Until then, I'm out.

New Music Arrangement Files Incoming For Next Week / Reminder About Our "Discord Portal"

Posted by Merit Celaire on Saturday, December 7, 2019 - 12:09 PM

Happy Saturday to all of you here; I have two quick things to share here.

First, as you can already tell from previous blog entries, yours truly has been "on fire" posting new Super Nintendo music style arrangement stuff as of late (which includes, but is not limited to my cover of the "London Loop" course music for Mario Kart Tour, which you can read more details about it here). And now, as we speak, I'm currently in the "finalization phases" on a new "starter batch" of arrangement files for an upcoming game page for these operations which I hope to get in action during the course of next week itself. I'm also hoping to get more progress done on a certain "staff credits" song to close out the 2019 year; once again, I hope we can get all of this out the door before the Christmas holidays arrive in a little over two to three weeks from now. Will keep you posted regarding that angle.

Second, this is still a very good time to remind you all that in the meantime, we are still in need of legitimate followers to be a part of our "Discord Portal", especially as we start to slowly close out the 2019 year and prepare for the challenges that 2020 will bring for these music operations as a whole. Remember that if you honestly meet all the criteria that's listed on this page and you have a confirmed Discord account itself, then we want you with us. Just make sure to head to this page and fill in your details; we'll make sure to review your application submission upon receiving it and determine if you qualify to receive a temporary invite link to the server.

That's all for now regarding what's been happening around our music operations here; as always, if you have any additional questions regarding what was stated on this blog entry itself, please do not hesitate to send me an email about it. Thanks all, and I'll see you during the course of next week itself. I'm out.
