I just tried to make it sound like Super Mario Bros. Guess I did.

Nice minimal track. I fits the theme alot. Cool!
Thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated!
It packs a lot of personality with so few elements. Nice job.
Thank you for feedback and for hosting this jam! That was really great experience!
Wow. Managing to keep it interesting for 2 minutes with just two channels is just damn impressive. It feels very credible as an original ambient track for the NES. And thank you for making me smile with the Mario theme drop! Nice work!
Thanks!
Simple with nice reminders of the original game, even if the track sometimes feels a bit too empty or ripetitive. The choice of going with the original sounds is very good, and it gives the right impression as an alternative track. Well done!
Thank you!
Simple but nails the NES vibe. Nice work!
Thanks!
A bit too minimalistic for my taste, but it fits well to the underground ! I liked that you quoted the Mario theme at 1:31, made me smile :D Good work !
Glad that you enjoyed :)
It sounds like it could have came from the original game, but it also feels a little bit empty. I think switching up the rhythm a bit or using the different channels to play off each other might help with creating a stronger feeling of movement, which I think the original OST has a lot of even with the limitations of the NES soundchip.
Rhythm aside, I like the melody! The sounds really do fit the underground level well, and I think the lead up and follow up from the original mario theme was cleverly done!
Thanks for your feedback! I agree that the sound is rough and empty (I was more focused on making it sound more authentic, so I didn't think much about the technical part), but I'm glad that you liked it.
Cool track with some interesting rythmic pattern. Funny incorporation of the original mario theme at some point.
Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed it!
nah you didnt just quote the jingle haha its neat, a little barebone, but authentic
Thanks for feedback! I used only SMB soundfont, so overall the sound the a little barebone, but I did it to make the sound of the original SMB
Your soundcloud link doesn't lead to your track, you need to provide a direct link to your track.
Thanks for noticing. I'll change the link right away
