"I'd like to submit one of my latest arrangements, my remix on the nostalgic soundtrack of DKC2 from David Wise. Is it as simple and innocuous as inertia? Does named credit automatically indicate some sort of payout? I have to wonder: would it be completely impossible for any other Nintendo composers who had their work sampled or arranged to get distinct credits in the streaming and physical releases? Lots to ponder over and consider in the quest to give credit where credit is due.īut circling back to another important quest, Mental has painted a colorful musical canvas with their extended trance take on a Diddy's Kong Quest favorite, "Stickerbush (don't call me Stickerbrush) Symphony"! Ly explains how he started in one frame of mind, and arrived at this particular palette: But we'd need to know what discourages named recognition in the first place. We'd love to find out from some legal eagles on the entertainment side: why is music usage seemingly handled in inconsistant ways when it comes to movie credits? As VGM fans, we'd love Kirkhope and Wise (maybe Hip Tanaka too, due to the Kid Icarus game footage?) to get some formal credit.
Though the lack of credits puts a damper on this historic occasion from a VGM appreciation standpoint, we can't bust out the pitchforks quite yet. I also noticed a motif by David Wise from Donkey Kong Country that was used to introduce the Jungle Kingdom and that usage itself had no recognition in the credits, seemingly because it was arranged rather than directly sampled. There was also music used from Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, so the glossing over of other important music contributors wasn't just limited to Kirkhope. Grant Kirkhope's love-to-hate/hate-to-love meme-riffic classic " DK Rap" was used straight from Donkey Kong 64 to introduce DK in the film, yet Kirkhope wasn't credited by name. Movie, Donkey Kong! Before we spotlight our sophomore featured arrangement from Mental, I'd be remiss in not mentioning that it's seemingly mental that the sole Nintendo composer to receive a named credit for their work being sampled or arranged in the new movie was Koji Kondo. Mario Month continues with some love for another prominent character in the series that also features prominently in The Super Mario Bros.
