what a fun tune! v fitting to the theme, hearing the melody thrown around between the parts and departing into new sections was really interesting and the second half has a zaniness to it that vibes well with earthbound in particular. very interesting form, the return feels familiar and smooth even with the contrast in the later sections. good work!!

Track description | Creative process
Only worked on this the first 2 days of the jam, but still kept a devlog like on the previous jams:

Haven't played Earthbound or listened to the soundtrack that much, so this track was made with the REMAKE category in mind, since I just took some inspiration from the original track but went mostly "my way" with this 😄.
DAW: Cubase 13
Instruments: Magical Box 2.0 SNES sound bank for the full version of Kontakt
Magical Box is a really cheap sample library that costs only about 15€ or so (at least when I bought it) with some great samples made to replicate classic SNES game instrument sounds.
Thanks for listening, all feedback and critique is welcome like always!
