January 2021 Greetings: Still Getting Resituated / Looking Back At Last Year's Activity

Posted by Merit Celaire on Tuesday, January 5, 2021 - 05:17 PM

Finally snagged the chance to see about writing our first formal "monthly greetings" entry of the new 2021 year, everyone. At this time, I'm still trying to recover from the recent holiday breaks that we had along with finishing music operations material backup procedures on the backend; but I am still looking forward to what's to come for us regarding finding new modern Super Mario game installment music candidates (adventure, spinoff, and branched) for the Super Nintendo music style arrangement procedures. Granted, we still have this backlog from last year, but thankfully, it's still way better than what it was a little over one year ago.

And speaking of which, it's still time to briefly look back in regards to some "numbers" involving the Super Nintendo music arrangement covers that have been added during the course of last year, along with other factors in relation to it. So after reviewing my sources, the statistics show that there were:

* 40 Super Nintendo music style arrangement covers added for these operations; from these, it also involved...
* 9 featured Mario game installments (main, spinoff, and branched)
* 18 featured Super Nintendo instrument sets were involved (including 6 new ones that were originally made for the musical scores of David Crane's Amazing Tennis, Biker Mice from Mars, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Fighting Edition, Captain America and the Avengers, Super Soccer Champ, and Goal!)

But with all these numbers above, there are other things to note: on the new files that we added for these operations last year, the majority of them went towards covering the score of Mario Sports Superstars (Nintendo 3DS) (13 additions), which was one of the pages that was also added before last year's end. Following closely behind was my starting to cover songs from the Nintendo Switch game Paper Mario: The Origami King (with 10 additions); Paper Mario: Color Splash (Wii U) closely follows in third with 10 arrangement additions that I added to the repsective page.

On the featured Super Nintendo music instrument set involvement last year; because of my doing covers of the Paper Mario: The Origami King score late last year, the instrument set from Disney's Aladidin (Capcom/Disney) claimed the top spot (for a total of nine times). The rest of the instrument sets that were involved during the course of last here had usage numbers that were less than stellar (the other highest numbers from internal rankings have the instrument set of Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (LJN/Software Creations) taking the second spot, and many ties on the remaining sets that were involved last year; the usage on the remaining ones not mentioned here came up to numbers between 1 and 3.

And once again, these numbers could have been better (especially the second list) if it weren't for COVID-19 getting in our way. But I'll save that for another time because as I stated earlier, I'm still slowly getting resituated for this brand new year and I'm hoping we can find those new "song candidates" because we can't let the Super Nintendo music style cover scene die over here! I'm just grateful to have answered the call and be in this process itself on the backend. And here's hoping that 2021 will give us much better opportunities down the road (along with our hopes that this horrid COVID-19 pandemic will get quashed over time this year, once and for all).

Until then, I gotta step out. Thank you all again for continuing to stand by me and these beloved music operations covering the modern music of Nintendo's Super Mario series as a whole. And of course you all already know that we're not done yet on the music arrangement front as well; I'm more than ready to get back in action once my "resituation process for 2021" is completely done. See you all later.

Goodbye to 2020, Hello 2021!

Posted by Merit Celaire on Friday, January 1, 2021 - 08:17 AM

The Mario gang (pictured above) is ready for the challenges of this new 2021 year, and so are these beloved music operations! The question is: are YOU ready for us as well? Read further for more details.

It's officially here, friends... the 2021 year itself has now arrived at our doorsteps. I'm just snagging the chance to make this very first post of these beloved music operations (and this "home base website") to wish all of you faithful followers/Super Nintendo music style arrangement listeners/supporters/Mario enthusiasts a very happy New Year and let's all hope that the "journey" itself this time around will be way better as compared to the 2020 year which I'm sure that we were more than happy to put in the history books.

Granted, the horrible COVID-19 pandemic is still hovering over our heads messing up our daily routines; however, from the recent news that we've heard regarding critical vaccine rollouts in hopes to slowly quash that mess over time, there's hope that one of these days, we can start to eliminate this "coronavirus" roadblock at last and get back to full action on all fronts. Until then, let's all continue to stay safe and adhere to health guidelines from the medical experts.

Back to the "music operations" angle; here's what's up: just like last week during the "Christmas holidays period", the same applies here regarding any new correspondence that I may receive during this time (which include general inquiries regaridng the site/existing music files, new Twitter follower requests, and new Discord server temporary invite link requests). All new inquries that I get will be reviewed during the course of this coming Monday (January 4th).

Finally, the formal "monthly greetings entry" for January is still being planned which will look back at how yours truly has managed to pull through for these beloved music operations last year. There might be two articles regarding this, so you don't want to miss it. Additionally, I'm still working on doing necessary backups on all site/music file materials before proceeding further as we get ready to meet 2021's challenges head on.

Until then, once again, all of you have a fantastic New Year's "weekend period", and I'll see you all as we get back into the groove for these operations come the first full week of this month. Later, awesome people!

Christmas 2020 Greetings (A Few Hours In Advance) / Correspondence Response and Other Remaining Plans for 2020

Posted by Merit Celaire on Thursday, December 24, 2020 - 08:24 PM

Our lead Mario female, Princess Peach, enjoying the special Christmas festivities along with her friend Toad; here's hoping that we'll all do the same tomorrow!

After all the music arrangement file postings that we have done in the past few days this week (along with the ones that were made during late last month), you can bet that yours truly is more than ready to take a breather for the next few days as we approach not just the Christmas holiday itself tomorrow, but the Christmas weekend as a whole as well. Although the horrible COVID-19 pandemic has put a major wrench on traditional happenings for all of us, I still hope that all of us will find ways to make the most of this most blessed and special time on the calendar like in past years. I'm making sure on my end to do the same.

With that said, just a heads-up in regards to music operations related business as a whole for the next few days. First, in regards to correspondence in general: any new inquiries that I receive between now (December 24th) and the end of Sunday (December 27th) will be reviewed and answered on Monday (December 28th). The only exception would be if there are any "emergency circumstances" regarding this site and/or related files that would need my prompt attention if any cases arise. You're still able to use these available site forms to get in contact with me from that angle; however, once again, keep in mind that for some which would involve me to respond, I'll review those when Monday arrives. Note that this also goes for any new Twitter follower requests and/or Discord server invite requests that I receive in the correspondence as well.

Also, next week after the Christmas holiday break, the planbook is to focus on working on possible new articles for this site (if any). Additionally, I'm hoping that during one of the days next week itself, I can see about dealing with a backup of this entire site and existing music files for these operations as well so we can be up to date and ready on all angles for when this year will officially be in the history books and start again on a fresh course for 2021.

Before I go, let me once again thank all of you for being so very patient with me as we've been fighting to try and get back up to speed ever since this COVID-19 pandemic hit earlier this year. I'm sure we're all in agreement that it has been a very challenging and chaotic year thanks to this horrible coronavirus mess still wreaking havoc everywhere; here's hoping that during the course of the coming 2021 year, we'll definitely see the odds in our favor, especially for these beloved music operations itself as a whole. I'll elaborate on this more in another article in the future when the new year arrives; until then, all of you please continue to stay safe and once again, have a fantastic Christmas holiday weekend, everyone. I'm out.

New Game Page Added: "Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit" (With 1 New Music Arrangement File)

Posted by Merit Celaire on Thursday, December 24, 2020 - 11:58 AM

And here we are at the "finish line" before the upcoming "Christmas holidays" period (for now). From this page, what started as a file backlog count of 50 in the queue (from way back in late November prior to doing my music arrangement file clearing efforts for this year) has now drastically dropped down to 14. And it comes as we are now posting our final music arrangement file addition of the 2020 year, which also adds a new featured game page for these operations as a whole... under the name of Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.

This game installment itself in general is a very unique one for the Nintendo Switch console in many ways that I won't explain here, but as expected from any Mario Kart game installment as of late, yours truly has run into some "song candidates" from this Nintendo Switch game to attempt doing Super Nintendo music style arrangement covers of.

But for today, and just in time before I prepare to switch gears for the upcoming "Christmas holidays period" coming at us in just a few hours from now, the latest SNES music style cover that I've posted targets the song heard when we're viewing the "winning results" after we've finished a course in a satisfactory position (of course, we're always hoping that we end up being in 1st place when crossing the finish line). The song itself caught my atention like that; and you know what that meant... my getting to work on the backend using the Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge SNES music instrument set (as done by Geoff Follin/Tim Follin for the respective musical score there) and get this beloved arrangement done for sharing with you all.

You're able to hear the new SNES music style cover of this song in question by going to this link. With that said, there's also rumor that I might be working on another song from the Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit game as well, but I'll be holding off on making more progress involving that until after we officially start the 2021 year in a little over two weeks from now. I'll obviously keep you posted as we forge onward.

Until then, enjoy the song; and as always, if you have any difficulites accessing the file itself, send an email inquiry my way letting me know of your issue. Later, all!
