Todays rip: 14/09/2023

Green Panty Zone (Sequenced Ver​.​)

Season 5 Featured on: STUDIO TRIGGER QUALITY MUSIC WORKS

Ripped by SonicHeroesFan1

I've talked about it before, but man - its SO cool how I've been able to get attached to certain rips without knowing anything about what its aiming to convey. This isn't just about not getting the joke - there are a surprising number of rips made as tributes or inofficial follow-ups of sorts to other well-loved pieces from other communities. An example I've covered on this blog would be Big Sus Chocobo, an Among Us-themed YTPMV of Electric de Chocobo directly paying tribute to The First AVGN YTPMV of 2022, which released earlier that year (which in turn took direct inspiration from Big Ass Chocobo from 2017 - thank you, anonymous Ask for the correction!). Its heartwarming, in a way, to remember that SiIvaGunner is at its core part of a community, and that the channel is a community of creators in of itself.

The part in parenthesis in Green Panty Zone (Sequenced Ver.)'s name isn't just for flavor - it openly tells you from what source SonicHeroesFan1 chose to pay tribute to with this rip. Green Panty Zone is a 10-year old mashup between Champion from the anime series Panty & Stocking and various pieces of Sonic the Hedgehog music - made by none other than the infamous Triple-Q. You remember Triple-Q, right? - I've talked about him on the blog before in Planet Wisp Mashup Medley, and even outside of SiIvaGunner he's one of the most long-enduring personalities in the space of audio shitposting. Green Panty Zone, despite its age, is a pretty fun listen and displays the sheer creativity and work Triple-Q so consistently puts into his work, even as long ago as 2012.

With all that said, it *is* still a mashup - a rather simple joke in execution that works tremendously well. Green Panty Zone (Sequenced Ver.) pushes Triple-Q's original idea to the natural end point - what if the melody of Champion were to be directly implemented into the Sonic music used? The outcome is nothing short of beautiful, and it runs the full list of Sonic music featured in the original - Green Hill Zone, Angel Island Zone, Emerald Hill Zone, Palmtree Panic Present, Green Hill Zone's 8-bit rendition from the Game Gear, and even the oft-forgotten Sunset Hill from Sonic Advance 3. Each segment is given utmost care in their sound and authenticity, to where its almost hard to notice just how much the rip escalates and changes as it goes from Sonic game to Sonic game. Its easy to infer by his username, but SonicHeroesFan1 displays such infectious love for the Sonic series in all the Sonic rips he works on, its as if that love directly translates into quality and authenticity.

Each segment is done incredibly in its own right, and are topped off with a bunch of personal flourishes binding them together. The most striking one is the transition into Sunset Hill from Sonic Advance 3, using Sonic CD's time-travel sounds and a voice clip from Sonic's early-2000s voice actor to signify the change to a more "modern" Sonic game track, but that's only really scratching the surface! There's spring sounds, spike sounds, a snare sound almost exclusive to Sonic 2's soundtrack that opens the way for the Emerald Hill Zone segment - hell, the entire segment representing Sonic CD actually uses another SiIvaGunner rip as its baseline, yet it fits the mix so perfectly as to almost go unnoticed despite how noticably different it sounds. (Read Collision Chaos Good Future JP [CD Beta Mix] to learn more!)

This is one of those rips that I swear I could gush about endlessly, and the strangest part is that...I've never watched Panty & Stocking. I have no idea what emotional ties this'll have to someone who did - I'm speaking solely as a SiIvaGunner and a Sonic the Hedgehog fan, and that alone was enough to make this rip hit home. The amount of love poured into rips like these, despite being so directly tied to jokes for such a specific audience - tied to a mashup made 10 years ago by someone who, as a reminder, doesn't even associate much with the SiIvaGunner team anymore - is absolutely insane. Its a true testament to where SiIvaGunner's priorities lie: It's never about broad reach, about fame, about attention, but about quality and love for the fellow man.

In light of… that. Pizza Tower was HEAVILY inspired on the Wario Land series, especially on Wario Land 4, which is a Nintendo game that came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2001. Pirating Game Boy Advance games is super easy! On PC, all you have to do is download Visual Boy Advance M and download a ROM from a ROM sharing website. I recommend Wow Roms or Vimm’s Lair.

If you have a modded 3DS however! You can install New Super Ultimate Injector, which allows you to play not only GBA games but also NES, SNES, original Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Mega Drive, Game Gear AND TurbiGrafx 16 games on your 3DS! Tumblr doesn’t like links, so I’ll link to those programs + ROMs + tutorials on how to use them on a reblog of this post.

can you write a super fluffy josh futterman fic where they play Minecraft?:)

I literally this this is the cutest prompt ever, I am legit so garbage at writing fluff so it is potentially going to be a little short, I apologize in advance. I hope I do it justice :)

Cw: mega fluff, josh futturman, fem! Reader, video games

You honestly were extremely grateful for Josh. You had just moved to LA that year working in an internship position for Kronish Labs, working directly under Dr. Kronish. You thought his research was silly, however, you knew this internship would look incredible on your resume. Moving hours away from home stressed you out more than you realized, not knowing anyone, and trying to start a life in a new state, it was a lot. That’s when you met Josh. A goofy janitor with a video game addiction. Immediately, you were smitten. Soon enough, you had to get the nerve to ask him out, and to your surprise, he said yes. From then on, you got to work alongside the boy who was your saving grace, the boy who also got you into his videogame addiction.

-------------------------

“Josh can we please take a break from Biotic Wars?” you whined. The two of you had been on this level for the last 3 days, and frankly, you were tired of looking at Wolf get killed over and over again (hes hot, what can you say).

“Come on were almost at the end!” he excitedly shouted at you, turning toward you in in his gaming chair, his hair falling over his face. His smile was bright, causing small creases on the outer corner of his eyes. His dark eyes seemed to be shining, beaming with excitement. You couldn’t help but smile. He was so insanely pretty. You let out a soft smile.

“can we please play something else?” you pushed out your bottom lip in a pout. He got up, walking over to the bed, jumping onto it next to you. He kissed your cheek.

“okay, okay. What would you like to play now, peanut?” Peanut was a name that he called you from the very beginning. You used to have a small tub of peanuts in your office, and since then he always called you peanut. Weird, you know, but you liked to snack when you were writing your reports. Sheepishly, you asked,

“what if we just played some Minecraft?” his face immediately lit up, a big smile forming on his lips.

“of course, weirdo,” he chuckled. He quickly got up, tossing a controller your way and loading up Minecraft on his tv. He loaded a new survival world, and start playing. “hey theres some pigs over here, im gonna get us some food,” he smiled.

“Okay,” you smiled. “Im going to start getting a house put together.” In the game, you two start scrambling to get a shelter put together as the sun set. You ended up making a square dirt house with a singular torch. Josh moves his character toward the house, closing it up when we get inside. He put a bed down.

“Here, I got you this one.” He placed a pink bed next to his bland white one. You looked over to him and smiled.

“Aww, next to yours? Cute,” you smiled. He leaned over and gave you a soft kiss on your lips, filling you with a warmth that you loved.

“You are my girlfriend,” you didn’t know why, but you blushed. You loved being called his girlfriend. You looked back at the tv, hiding the blush that crept across your face. “Oh, and one more thing,” he made his character crouch as he placed a rose next to your bed.

“Aw, youre too sweet, joshy,” you grinned as you clicked the bed to make your character sleep.

---------------

Hours passed, and you were starting to get sleepy. “Hey joshy, I think I should get going home, Im getting really tired,” you yawned out. He frowned.

“Already?”

“I have to get up earlyyy,” you groaned.

“Do you want to stay the night? We can just drive to work together?” His eyes were tired.

“Sure, I would love to stay the night, josh.” This was the first time you got to stay the night over there. He smiled, turning off the tv to get ready for bed. He got under the covers, patting the spot next to him for you to join him. Hesitantly, you did, and he immediately wrapped his arms around you, pulling you closer to him. He gave you a soft kiss.

“thank you for staying tonight. I love you.” Your eyes widen, looking at him. He had a cheesy grin spread across his face.

“What did you say?” you couldn’t help but start to smile.

“I love you, y/n.”“I love you too, joshy,” you buried your head into his chest, hiding your face. You listened to his heartbeat as you slowly drifted off to sleep, happy.

sorry its so short, but i hope it was okay! like i said, im not used to writing fluff but this was my first shot. hopefully i do better in the future! thanks for the request!

Rainbow Cotton for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC launches May 9

From Gematsu

SUCCESS Corporation-developed 3D shoot ’em up Rainbow Cotton will launch digitally for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam on May 9, publisher ININ Games announced.

Rainbow Cotton first launched for Dreamcast on January 20, 2000 in Japan. It was never released in the west.

Get the latest details below.

Remake

The reimagining of epic proportions through the power of remakes. Rainbow Cotton is the epitome of this process, breathing new life into the original 2000 Dreamcast release of Rainbow Cotton with stunning visuals, innovative gameplay mechanics, an added local two-player mode, and even more magic. It’s a journey into the retro past, but reinvented for the present. This new release of Rainbow Cotton comes packed with many new witchy twists and upgrades. Delivering an even more immersive and visually stunning experience, taking you on an arcade-inspired journey through a whimsical world! Read on to see some of the new features that the 2024 release of Rainbow Cotton includes:

Bring on the Nostalgia – The Retro Mode allows you to experience the charm of the original Dreamcast version– as authentic as it can possibly be!

Enhanced Gaming Experience – Revamped snap-back, lock-on targeting, controller rumble & speaker support, and more for a more luxurious gaming experience.

Cotton‘s New Look – Immerse yourself in the magic of the upgraded, stunning visuals!

Dedicated Little Sibling Mode – Play as Cotton and Silk together with your Player 2 in this newly added local co-op mode!

Team Sub or Team Dub?! – The fully animated cutscenes return in their original Japanese dubbing with translated English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German subtitles for your viewing pleasure!

Get on this magical ride and have a look at our fresh, new and offbeat video for Rainbow Cotton!

Remaster

As opposed to the remake, a remaster describes a—mostly visual—overhaul of a game. In other words: same gameplay, new look. Cotton Reboot is the high-definition deluxe remaster of the cult classic, Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams. This high-definition remaster received a modern makeover with enhanced visuals, refined sound, and seamless gameplay. It’s a celebration of nostalgia with a contemporary twist.

Emulation / Port

Finally, let’s take a look at the 2021 release of Panorama Cotton. In this emulation, we faithfully recreated the original 1994 SEGA Mega Drive experience for audiences to enjoy today. We essentially trick your console into believing itself to be an arcade machine to run the original SEGA Mega Drive version—no gameplay changes, and no enhancements. Emulating a game is a testament to preserving gaming heritage while embracing the advancements of today’s technology.

Gunstar Heroes - Rolling Chaser (YM2612 + SN76489 Recreation)

A recreation of Rolling Chaser from Gunstar Heroes! Recent things happening have made me revisit the game as well as Norio Hanzawa's work on the Mega Drive (of which there isn't a lot of).

Been meaning to study Gunstar Heroes' instrumentation/ musical style for a while now, but to no avail... until now, that is.

I don't think there's a lot to be said about a recreation of all things, so I'll just ramble as I usually do, personal notes and things I've noticed while working on the track.

So a thing I noticed is that despite the instrumentation, some tracks (if not all of them) have a very orchestral-like quality. Again, not noticeably so, but it is indeed there. The most obvious track showing this quality being The End of the Battle -To Out World-.

Maybe I'm bullshitting, so if anyone wants to explain, feel free. I didn't learn my music theory that far and am mostly self-taught lol.

Other things I've noticed are with the actual track itself, and maybe the other tracks as well (and consecutively, Norio Hanzawa's programming style).

So aside from the percussion, bass and PSG melodies, Hanzawa sometimes displaces chorused/ stacked instruments by just a little. I assume it's to make it sound more chaotic, but in a way it also reminds me of Gameboy Advance game soundtracks. Not sure why though.

The FM channels are all used for polyphony, leaving the PSG to deliver the "reverb"/ delay in the track to make the song sound fuller instead. It'll take time to get used to since my work cycle with the Mega Drive chipset is practically the inverse (but usually both channels have the delay anyway).

I haven't got to the wacky stereo stuff like rapidly switching to the left stereo channel, then right, then both channels yet, but I think it's understandable enough. Hanzawa usually switches between each note trigger instead of changing between random intervals.

That's all that I have to talk about. Just nerd stuff, nothing more.

here's a closeup on the cover image though, just cartoonish shenanigans.

Okay, since you've mentioned Doraemon, I must know your opinions about it!

Oh, that one's also my all-time fave! My first time hearing of this series ever was in a Mega Drive video game, and the rest was history:

I remember reading more of the manga than watching the anime, but I enjoy both formats equally. It's an absolute success in Japan even after its author's passing, and has served as art inspo for Sonic the Hedgehog's original/classic self (Sonic's design was based on Mickey Mouse, Felix the Cat and Doraemon; he was all circles and curves, just so he could be easily drawn by children).

Many people categorize him as a magical cat, but he doesn't use magic; his gadgets are purely advanced science (though there was an episode where Doraemon and Nobita help Shizuka live her magical girl fantasy, and they've tried to work around the lack of magic).

"But, Bunny! If Doraemon is a cat, how come he doesn't have ears?" A-ha! That's when it comes the plot twist! Doraemon comes from a network of helping cat robots from the future that are yellow-painted and have cat ears... turns out that poor Dora had his ears eaten away by mice and he was so sad that he cried so hard that the yellow paint melted away from his body and he's now blue; he now fears rodents ever since this traumatic incident.

And there are also several other Doras: There's Dorami (his younger sister who occasionally visits him from the future), the Mini-Doras (a pint-sized trio of Doras in red, green and yellow), and the Doraemons (a team of six international Doras coming from Russia, USA, China, Spain, India and Brazil).

Oh, and I also wanna try eating a dorayaki someday. It's a sweet pancake bun with azuki (red bean paste) filling, much like the taiyaki (fish-shaped cake). Even though azuki is a common choice for filling, there are other options, such as chocolate for example. There's even an Oreo-flavored dorayaki recipe:

Asian meals and treats are just so mesmerizing to me.

Twilight Sparkle propaganda: "Unleash the Magic," the song where Cinch and the Shadowbolts convince her to let her collected magic out--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THqDXn-Wm_0

"I realize that you've always been an outcast / It's not everyone at school who likes to think / To find a student that's like you / I've had one or maybe two / But the good ones disappear before I blink"

Cinch appeals to Twilight's intelligence, praising her as an especially talented and studious pupil even by Crystal Prep's high standards, while also putting pressure on her based on that academic ability because she's one of a kind (implicitly because Cinch pressured the rest into leaving/breaking). At the same time, being such a mega-nerd has left Twilight isolated from her peers, who only care about her in terms of her smarts. Her sense of self-worth heavily hinges on being intellectual, since her athletic ability is so bad it cost Crystal Prep the last round and her social skills are abysmal. Aside from her dog, learning and knowledge is all she has in her life; her motivation for joining the Friendship Games isn't even because she cares about winning like the other Crystal Prep students, she just wants to get into an advanced study program.

"Call it power, call it magic / If we lose, it will be tragic / More important is the knowledge we'll have lost (oh-oh-oh-oh) / A chance like this won't come again / You'll regret not giving in / Isn't understanding magic worth the cost?"

"What I'm suggesting's very simple / And since it's win-win on all scores / You only want to learn about the / Magic that you have stored"

Cinch only cares about winning, but her business pitch is based on what she knows Twilight wants--knowledge. She has to understand the magic, regardless of the price it will incur to unleash it. She's already seen the dangerous effects of letting it out, but she's that desperate to learn about this strange new phenomenon. This obsessiveness is one of the traits Sci-Twi (as the human world Twilight is often called) and Equestria's Twilight Sparkle have in common, as seen in "Feeling Pinkie Keen," where Twilight drives herself up the wall trying to figure out Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Sense.

"Imagine all I'll learn by setting it free / And now winning these games depends on me / And what doors might open if I try to use it / But the magic's what I really want to see"

Twilight corroborates Cinch's assessment of her motivations. She doesn't want to let down her school (especially because of how much pressure they're putting on her to secure victory) and she's excited by the opportunities winning (by using the magic to cheat) will make available. But what she really wants, more than anything, is to understand the magic, even though it could get people killed.

Sure enough, when she unleashes it, the magic consumes her, turning her into Midnight Sparkle. Yes, Gretchen has blackmail that she uses to terrorize a high school. But you know who else terrorizes high schoolers? Sci-Twi, when she RIPS OPEN THE FABRIC OF REALITY TO TRY AND REACH EQUESTRIA AND ITS MAGIC, DROPPING PEOPLE THROUGH DIMENSIONAL RIFTS AND THREATENING TO DESTROY HER ENTIRE WORLD JUST SO SHE CAN GAIN KNOWLEDGE, BECAUSE THE MAGIC SHE SOUGHT TO UNDERSTAND WARPED HER IN BODY AND MIND.

In conclusion, vote for this fucked up apocalyptic nerd!

Link to the song

Also, didn't realize until you pointed it out, but the line 'And what doors might open if I try to use it' puts me in mind of Jon's metaphor about a door in his mind that leads to a whole ocean, and how if he opens it, he'll drown.
