Hi guys,

Now, some of you may find this topic a little unusual, but how many people here have heard of music mash-ups in the world of video games (combining two versions of the same song into one single song, called a "mash-up")?

Generally, these can be quite difficult to make right, for one thing, you need a program that can edit MP3 files, such as Audacity. It can do all sorts of things like changing the tempo, changing the pitch, changing the speed, having a fade out at the end of the song, etc.

As an example, here's a mash-up of Sonic 3's Marble Garden Zone musics, combining Act 1's music with Act 2's music.

Not all mash-ups sound that good unfortunately, but hey, you have to have keen ears to note the good ones. Anyway, what do you guys think of the mash-up above?

Wow, I really was not expecting that to work. When combined, it really really sounds like music from Toejam & Earl.

I've seen mashups before, but not ones I've liked with two video games. Here's one that combines Tidal Tempest from Sonic CD with the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

The only video game mash up that I truly love is the one where you have Will Smith from Fresh Prince's face on the head of the Kraken boss from Earthbound. It's on youtube. I'll try to find it if it's still there.

Here it is!

How do you post an image of a youtube video?

To embed the image of a YouTube video, you need to do this (removing the asterisks of course):

It is. I entered the format exactly as i was told. I don't know why it isn't working.

You need to put the ID of the video in between the tags, nothing else (e.g. IEiu9H5to5Y).
