Time to break the rules a little! Don't be thrown by sudden changes... just do what feels natural! It's easy as A.B.C! (No practice.)

Hey folks thought I'd try my hand at another one of these! I said I'd only do more if I found a great song for it and lookee here, I did. No clue if I'll do another after this!

HUGE thanks to the Rhythm Heaven Modding Discord as well as Rhythm Gehenna for all their amazing help on this remix! I dabbled in modding the game to get the Crop Stomp segment, as well as to remove the falling snow particles from Karate Man and HUD elements from Samurai Slice (Endless). I also used Mariofan5000's version of Airboarder without the staff credits present, so thanks for that! And as usual this could never have even been done in the first place without Rhythm Heaven Remix Editor, which I'd highly recommend to anyone even looking to dabble in this.

I decided to challenge myself somewhat by limiting it to a single game (the DS entry) and thought it might be fun to bring Octopus Machine and Samurai Slice (Endless) into the mix, even though no official Rhythm Heaven remix uses them because they're side-games. In retrospect, I think I see why this is one of the less worked with games to remix... it's quite apparent which games have been slowed down or sped up thanks to the touchscreen. I addressed this in some minigames but it would've been a pretty astronomical effort to do it for all of them.

You can also probably tell I tried my hand at creating a couple custom sprites... didn't really work amazingly but I'm decently satisfied how it turned out. I used an online free pixel art editor and it was pretty limited in the end so if I were to do it again that's the part I'd change.

    I love the smug look karate man gives after throwing you off with the swap
  • @GooeyLagoon
    The lyrics on the sign towards the end was such a cool touch. These remixes have all been killer so far.
  • @nadamada8328
    the bit at 0:17 where there's no inputs, so they're just there vibing was awesome
  • @leeoh7434
    This feels exactly like a real ds remix, perfect amount of bullshit
  • The Karate Man bit leading into “Kick, GO!” followed up with Karate Joe’s smug look like “Yeah, didn’t expect THAT, didja?” Sublime, my friend. Cheers on another awesome remix!
  • @nickname5447
    0:41 I love how Joe smiles here as if to say "that was a pretty clever transition, right?"
  • @jexami
    obsessed with those dramatic pauses at the start, and i pogged so hard when built to scale played the song notes, this is all around so sick 🙏🙏🙏
  • Seeing as your editing style heavily incorporates the beat of the background music, it's no wonder you're a natural at something like this
  • @Ballisticannon
    That tiny little bit of futzing on the pitch of the widget roll notes so that they match the melody just sucker punched my dopamine receptors in the gut, dude, you love to see it
  • I love that the sign saying “the way you move is a mystery” covers up the karate man moving.
  • @mishka2727
    This is genuinely so fucking cool, and so well done, I love it. The signs and everything? So fucking awesome
  • @RetroDragonfly
    0:39 seconds in and i've already experienced THE ABSOLUTE CLEANEST of all transitions.
  • @se.224
    the initial scene with some of the minigames prepping up was so damn cool
  • @lrgogo1517
    I love to see Octo-pops appreciation in the community
  • @ImKirb
    2:16 is my favorite part by a long shot, the transition into Love Lab is so slick and caught me off guard, but it works so beautifully. please keep on making these, they're absolutely wonderful!!!
  • @gremlinman9724
    i think im quoting grayfruit himself when i say "(loud snorting noise)"
  • @Kaspbrak
    this is INSANE man, the past two days have been entirely spent deconstructing every bit of this and explaining it to my friends because it is so fantastic. the bit with the sign and lyrics and the last built to scale part are so perfect 🙏 this is seriously the best custom remix ive ever seen, props to you for another amazing remix
  • @Flipface4

  • @yggdrasilsaltar
