Attempting to Make a Video Game Theme with Mario Paint in One Night || Shady Cicada

Video Game Themes. They tend to be themes in video games. Crazy fact, I know. I've said a load of things about video game themes already, but it's pretty interesting to hear how trans-formative they are, due to the melodies that accompany some of them. Sometimes a theme is so memorable (and possibly iconic) that it can transcend genres/styles and still stay true to what it originally was, giving listeners the same feeling it was intended to give. (Some non-video game songs can do this too by the way). Take an iconic video game song, turn it into 8-bit, make it a beatsaber level, create a rock version of it, or even make a Mario Paint version and you can guarantee there will be someone who vibes with it. Speaking of Mario Paint, it was HUGE for covers back in the day. I would binge watch so many of them when I was a young teen (a smol shady who knew nothing about music composition yet). I always wondered how they made these themes on Mario Paint. Now I'm finally at a stage where people are requesting me to try it out, so here's me trying to make an original video game theme with it. This is "Attempting to Make a Video Game Theme with Mario Paint in One Night". I hope you enjoy! This song was inspired by the Mario games (duh), various JRPG themes, and a little bit of Undertale/Deltarune.

The program in this video is "Mario Paint Composer". The original site has been down for who knows how long. Just look around for a bit and you'll find it.
