- Hot Top Volcano theme from Diddy Kong Racing (N64) on the keyboard. Best viewed fullscreen, in high resolution and with earphones on. This was requested by joechrtor.
Before you say anything, yes, I cheated on fast parts such as Bongos, Congas and the Snare Drum. I had to record them twice slower and then speed them up again while editing. Notice also that the Pitch Bend is displayed here only as a reference. You can clearly hear it being applied to many different instruments, sometimes simultaneously, but I only included it to show where it was applied. And finally, the original song has lyrics, but obviously they cannot be played on the keyboard, so using Choir and Voice instruments is the best one could do to replace them.
Some tracks may be a little off sync, and my fingering is not exactly perfect, but at least the notes are right - I hope. This is not intended as a didactic tutorial. I realize not all notes can be seen clearly, but if you have some experience on the piano, it should be enough to get started on the song.
The footage is of myself actually recording each track individually as you hear them, and the audio is the final result put together by the keyboard with no mixing, except for volume adjustments and echo effects. Recorded on a CTK-6000. Based on the MIDI file uploaded to vgmusic.com by Wyatt Croucher.
Time signature 4/4, tempo 138, key C sharp minor, probably

Hot Top was my favourite but never remembered the song being this awesome
Woah, that's really cool.
Ahhh this is so cool!!! Love it!!!!!
It got perfect. I loved it
Dede9286 Thank you
AWESOME!!!
So cool. I wanna play the steel guitar part on a harmonium.
Oh, that'd sound so cool
Wow!! This is amazing! How did you figure this out? Did you look at a Midi? I can understand hearing the notes and figuring out the instruments (though the drums and percussion can get difficult), but the spot-on vocals using the choir aahs, synth voice, choir doos was very impressive. Great job! Thanks for putting a new spin on that!
Thanks! Yep, I looked at a midi. There are more details in the video description.
AWESOME!!!!! how this doesn't have more views? people suck
AWESOME *0*
Can you maybe also do the Mario Party 2 - Horror Land Theme? also Great work there :D
Thank you! Yes, I think I can do that one. But just a heads up, it might take a long time, like a month or so. There are other videos on the queue!

Hmm if it's a too difficult one, and I don't know how long the queue is, so I think It'll alright if you don't do it. If you want to do that, it's your choice but maybe I'll swip Mario Land - Horror Theme with Faron Woods Theme (Twilight Princess). I Think this one is easier and faster to make.
DeavensKnight No backing out, challenge already accepted! haha
It's not that the song is too difficult. All songs take some time: I need to learn them, record everything, do some mixing on the keyboard, record audio, work with each individual video on the computer (trim, add captions, write down start time for syncing purposes), plan the positions of each part on the screen, put them all together, and fine sync. But I enjoy it!
It would be cool if they did Frosty Village
If you could do Jungle Falls would be great!
+L Fernand I think so too! Somebody else requested Jungle Falls a while ago. Unfortunately, I don't know of any good MIDIs for that song.
More pls pls pls
