Welcome to the second edition of Warp Zone! Here's another batch of links for your viewing (and listening) pleasure.
Mario Piano Sheet Music (mariopiano.com)
This site is home to sheet music transcriptions of
Super Mario Bros. themes and sound effects, complete with optimized fingering for all you ivory ticklers. I've tried most of them out on guitar and they sound dead-on.
GameBard (gamebard.com)
Poetry meets game reviews on GameBard. Since its launch in September, GameBard has reviewed more than 30 games, including
New Super Mario Bros. Wii,
Wario Land: Shake It!, and
Donkey Kong Country Returns.
Iwata Asks: Donkey Kong Country Returns (us.wii.com)
Satoru Iwata -- the president and CEO of Nintendo Co., Ltd. -- interviews the three DKCR senior designers from Retro Studios and the producer and assistant producer from the Nintendo side. This is probably the first "Iwata Asks" that they had to translate
to Japanese.
Super Mario Galaxy Medley (youtube.com)
Diwa de Leon put together this impressive five-part
Super Mario Galaxy medley using six instruments: Violin, hegalong, djembe, tambourine, guitar, and his voice.
