Super Mario RPG: Waltz of the Forest

WATCH THE HIGH QUALITY VERSION OF THIS MUSIC VIDEO AT “Waltz of the Forest“ Performed by Final Boss Vocals by Kirbopher () Rapping by ShadyVox () Opera by MusicalMike () Arrangement by Psyguy () “Rawest Forest“ by Martin Hagwell “Geno’s Forest“ by XBrav “Beware the Forest Mushrooms“ by Yoko Shimomura Back in 2007, the last Flash animation I did as I was graduating High School and entering College was a music video based on “Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars“ for the Super Nintendo, a game that I have over a decade of history with. Yoko Shimomura’s music is a huge part of what’s so amazing about this game, “Beware the Forest Mushrooms“ (theme of the “Forest Maze“ stage) being one of her most highly regarded compositions. DJ XBrav created a lyrical version of the song that took the internet by storm many years ago, evolving into a meme that fans of the game all know and love. Martin Hagwell later remixed this into the popular “Rawest Forest“ song, which I later used as the song for the music video that has now received millions of views in the past several years. Today, as the last Flash animation I’m doing as I graduate College and enter into the rest of my life: Myself, Blake “ShadyVox“ Swift, Bryon “Psyguy“ Beaubien and Musical Mike Patterson, have joined forces to bring you a new version of the popular Forest Maze composition from Super Mario RPG, paying tribute to both XBrav’s and Marta’s remixes as well as Yoko Shimomura’s original piece. This animation was done over the course of two weeks, as opposed to the original music video that was finished in one week. I crammed in as many geeky references in there as I possibly could to show my appreciation for this amazing game and I hope everyone who’s ever played Super Mario RPG will get a big smile in remembering all the fun stuff from Mario and company’s adventures. Big thanks as well to my creative partners that helped in making this song and everyone who supported me during the animation process. Follow Geno’s route there! -LYRICS- :Vocals: Super Mario-oh RPG Super Mario-oh RPG Super Mario-oh RPG :Rap: Yo. Yo. Yo’ trapped in this place. Make no mistake. O’yo’ nevah escape. :Vocals: Super Mario-oh RPG If I could ask you to play with me. Only if it wasn’t a one-player game. Something about it just isn’t the same. Entering the forest came with ease. Now that I’m lost someone help me please! How can I remember what brought me here. There is a story to tell, lend an ear. :Rap: Once upon a trip a giant sword came down and ripped Apart a Road that’s made of Stars, then they scattered to afar. Mario and all the crew, on adventure found a-new. Follow them as they continue on a quest to save me and YOU! :Vocals: (Listen to me) There are many secrets in this land, Up in the clouds or beneath the sand, Deep within this labyrinth there is place, If you go looking you might go insane. Exiting the forest is very simple Follow the patterns on and on again... (Exiting the forest is super simple) Or you’ll never find what you call home... (Listen to me or you’ll regret it someday~) Follow Geno’s route here... Follow Geno’s route here... Follow Geno’s route here... Follow Geno. (Follow Geno Now) :Piano Solo: :Vocals: Super Mario-oh RPG This is a game just for you and me. When you find yourself in a miserable haze. It’s all because of the Forest Maze. Exiting the forest is super simple: All you do is follow these path turns (Exiting the forest is super simple) For the rest of your gaming life... (Listen to me or you’ll regret it someday~) Follow Geno’s route here... Follow Geno’s route here... Follow Geno’s route here... Follow Geno. :Rap: I’m a gaming god.
