0:01 - Oh hey, there I am! Man, this turned better than I could have imagined! I'm sure Smithy himself would have approved of this cover! He IS made of metal, after all.
Absolutely loved 'Fight against Smithy', but was never too big on 'Fight Against Smithy, Who Likes Transforming', so when you announced you had this in store for us at some point I was so excited that you'd make me like it and by god did you. The video editing and references scattered throughout this were immense, you can definitely tell Smithy was a big one.
@@imptwins Agreed, I always felt like the two tracks were backwards - the transforming track isn't bad, but it definitely feels like a step down from the Smithy track.
Sorry in advance; contrarian incoming. I'd like to at least try to defend the second theme :P Smithy's first theme was always good, and I wouldn't blame anyone for preferring it, but I think the second is by far my favorite precisely _because_ of the atmosphere. The first theme absolutely fits with the goofy, energetic charm typical of Mario themes (particularly this game's), and it has a regal tinge to it. Comparatively, the second feels more intense. Frantic, even. It sounds _off_ in a way not many other themes really portray, while still capturing the energy a boss theme should be able to do. It doesn't fit in the world of Mario, and neither does Smithy- so his boss theme doesn't sound like it belongs either. He's got to be at least a little insane, and that much is reflected in the theme's odd progressions from section to section- but he's the last of his kind, and he doesn't intend to go down without doing everything he can. Also, the battlefield is literally made of Smithy heads. Take from that what you will. Admittedly, the original feels a little empty after listening to this, but that's probably because Johnny (and the other 2 :)) did _so_ well. idk i like it i guess
I'm honestly surprised you hadn't given this song the full treatment yet! After playing the remake I fell in love with Super Mario RPG so I'm loving this a ton!
LORD HELP ME THIS RULED I mean, it's not enough that the track blows me away, between the overall heaviness, the AWESOME solos from everyone, the distortion of the melody before the incredible transition, the drumming and all the effects on phase 2, the DROP AT 2:28 GIMME A BREAK, THE LEIMOTIF AT 3:57 STOPPPPPPP Yeah, it's NOT ENOUGH that the song overall is incredible, THEN you hit us with this AMAZING editing for the video itself what the HECK MAN HOW DO YOU DO THESE THINGSSSSSSS This whole thing killed the Nutty, i will be consumed by this all day. You and Ro and Richaad are all so awesome hhhrrgnnnhhh (insert the KO'd Geno emote from discord here, for the millionth time)
You absolutely crush Shimomura’s Mario final boss themes. Like, wow, this is clean. Thank you for being a consistent source of covers for the Mario RPGs
A highly wanted track AND a collab with two other artists all in one cover?! Damn, us GaMetal fans are eating GOOD today! You guys blew it out of the water in this one, I LOVE how you made it extremely metal but also kept the epic feel of the original at the same time, that is _exactly_ what you want to see in a cover! This is without a doubt one of the best tracks you've ever done, you all did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job on it!!
All three of you did mad justice to these two themes. I especially like how you included details from both the original and the remake versions - especially that extra riff from the remake of Fight Against Smithy, Who Likes Transforming/Battling Smithy's Many Forms, which was my favourite part of the track as it made it feel more like a proper showdown. The video editing is the real highlight, though. Having Ro forged from Smithy's Smelter and Puppet Bowser's hammer transforming Jonny into Richaad was a stroke of genius.
Even Smithy himself approves of this fantastic remaster, I was listening to your old SMRPG medley the other day while playing Mario Kart Tour & I thought, "Will Smithy's themes ever get the remaster treatment?" After I ate something, I checked my notifications on my phone & see this. This remastered version is a great improvement & I can't wait to see more eventually being added. You, Ro & RichaadEB crushed it! Requests: This is Booster Tower (Super Mario RPG) And My Name is Booster! (Super Mario RPG) I'd even toss in something short & sweet like the racing Boshi/Yoshis theme, that'd put a smile on my face.
This is one of the most phenomenal GaMetal remixes I've ever listened to in the decade that I've been around, it totally beats your 2012 version and the SMRPG Remake one. The opera in the first phase is a great addition to intensify things and those timed zoom ins on Smithy were cool. Second phase had some inspiration from the remake of course, but more notably I can't get over that genius editing with Bowser transforming the guitarists on screen which resulted in the return of Fedora Jonny!! I got very nostalgic seeing the fedora and suit after all these years.
Smithy 2 is my favorite song in the game, and you guys definitely did it justice. The only thing I might add is a couple cow bell hits to mimic the hammer at some point, since it's hard for me to hear the song without that effect.
When I finally played SMRPG through the Remake, I was fully blown away by both of these themes. I think I like Smithy's first theme more, but both are pretty sick! And this remix does both of them Justice, absolutely stunning work, as always!
A remix so good not only was it a collab, but the knight and even the old Jonny had to reappear to lend a hand, fedora and all. This was awesome to listen to, and with a Megaman Zero remix up next, I can’t wait to see what February brings. Here’s my requests (list rework still in progress): 1. Shooting Star (Megaman Starforce 1-3) 2. The Collision of Thunderstorms (Azure Striker Gunvolt) 3. Battle! Zero Lab (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet)
I absolutely love that intimidating sledge entrance they had for Smithy in the remake. That was an incredible touch. Also, we need Gravity Circuit remixes now! Deletion Duel FTW!
Awesome collaboration, and I love the transition between the SNES and Switch Versions of both games! The hammer change to each person playing instruments was a nice touch too.
Someone call the fire department! Cuz this absolutely transformative remix brings the heat straight from Smithy's forge directly to your ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just finally got around to beating Smithy in the remake earlier today (I know it's not that long of a game, just been way to busy for the last couple of months.) This is perfect timing and an awesome version.
2:07 no way guys it's Jumbo Josh!!!!!!!!11111 Great cover! This is one that I've wanted to see for a while now, and I'm glad that it's finally here! The guitar and solos are on point, and Ro and Richaad both did an amazing job translating both songs into metal! Honestly, with how good the lineup has been this year, I've never been more excited for what comes next. Especially since what comes seems to be a song I really like! (That being Departure) You nailed this one, Jonny! Anyways, for requests: 1. Awe of She (Guilty Gear X) 2. Balrog's Theme (Street Fighter II) 3. Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS) 4. Barok van Zieks ~ Grim Reaper of the Old Bailey (The Great Ace Attorney Adventures) 5. Pink Ball Activate! (Kirby Planet Robobot) 6. Smart Race (Deltarune Chapter 2) 7. The Almighty (Persona 4) 8. Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart (Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom) 9. Rage Awakened (Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix) 10. Soul Ablaze (Mega Man ZX Advent) 11. Ekoroshia (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair) 12. Battle! Zero Lab (Pokemon Scarlet & Violet) 13. Unexpectancy (Pizza Tower) 14. World Tournament Theme (Dragon Ball Fusions) 15. Bust a Move!

"This tank needs no engine to move. It's powered by my will." I've been waiting for this one, loved this theme as a kid!! Requesting a cover on the final boss theme of the Spongebob movie video game!
Aw hell yeah, always loved Smithy's two themes for how unique and strange they sounded, and this turns them into absolute bangers while still keeping the rhymical and structural oddities and overall tense atmosphere. The keyboard breakdowns in the second half accompanied by those guitar licks are absolutely amazing too Also sick ass shirts
Absolutely killer remix! You guys were wailing like Smithy was about to destroy the world. Love that you included both versions of Super Mario RPG just to represent how how much this rocked. Big shoutout to Richaad too!
this is, one of the BEST covers that you guys ever made, seriously. i would like to se more megaman covers! any of them, classic, x, zero, battle network! :D
@@edgarlozada3858Since it’s artwork of Zero from Zero 2 specifically, I hope it’s either Departure, Awakening Will, Supreme Ruler, Power Bom or Flash Back!
Now this is a Boss Metal Remix 🤘🤘🤘, Awesome job man. Here are some other tracks I would love to see a Gametal remix of. (★=Favorite) ★ C&C Renegade Soundtrack - Stomp ◆ Super Mario World/Fortune Street - The Evil King Bowser (Boss Theme) ◆ Sonic Heroes - Final Fortress Zone ◆ Kirby Star Allies - The Final Push (Friend Star) ◆ Godzilla Unleashed - Mecha King Ghidorah's Theme (Main Menu Theme) ◆ Sonic Heroes - Team Chaotix Theme ◆ Sonic Advanced 3 - Special Stage Theme ◆ BattleTanx: Global Assault - Main Theme ◆ Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire - Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza Theme 🤘
People have asked me what my favorite Mario RPG final boss theme is before. People expect TTYD, or Bowser’s Inside Story, or those that know me better assume Dream Team. (Yes that’s my favorite Mario and Luigi game as strange as many think.) But it’s this theme. Phase 1, and obviously phase 2. This theme is INSANELY good. And was so good even on the SNES without full orchestration was near the TOP of my favorite themes in video games. And I just gotta say the remake truly lived to the hype. What a legendary OST. And what an even more legendary game. One of the finest games I’ve played.
Man, Super mario rpg is such a good game with such a hammering soundtrack that has so many bangers. Would love to see a cloud kingdom cover next for the next SMRPG song!
4:46 Fedora Johnny comes back!!! Aside form the music this video feels like a masterclass on both editing and displaying creativity. Incredible work (as always!)
"A fight with Smithy" was always one i liked, but i rarely liked covers of "Who likes Transforming" and you managed to nail it perfectly! You've become ace at those live-phase transitions in your covers! 🔨 Praying for eventual cover of cap'n boom's theme from Bomberman island touch 🙏
Oh my god, YES!!!!!!! I’ve wanted you to cover this for YEARS! When you were making all the Mario RPG covers for the remake, I was actually really disappointed this wasn’t one of them (though getting Culex instead was a fair trade). But then here you are, pulling this absolute BANGER out of nowhere! This is easily one of my favorite songs you’ve ever done, thank you so much!
Finally, after more than a decade... naming my Internet handle after an old Mario villain comes back to bite me. Reading the posts and comments on this one is a bit confusing... But much more importantly than that, the song itself is fire (as always), and the GaMetal cover is even better (as always)! A trio of great guitarists, clever edits, Puppet Bowser... 12 outta 10, loved every second.
Honestly speechless, you absolutely outdid yourself with this one. I think I found my new obsession after consuming your Wario Deluxe cover to an unhealthy degree these weeks. Wonderful stuff, big kudos to Ro Panuganti and RichaadEB as well!
YOOO Ro and Rich comin' in big as always. Really cool playing with the scale from Ro and Rich is actually gonna start melting strings one of these days. The idea of going through different forms in the song was really cool, especially the way you mixed the lead in and out. And FUCK, lmao, absolute blast from the past seeing you with the trilby and blue guitar. I really have been watchin' you a long time... AND a MMZ track next, FUCK yeag
OMG YESSSS! I was needing a rock cover of Smithy's last battle theme, and we got not only that but also a remix for the first one 🤌 ...and on top of that, I got goosebumps with 5:18 this song... this game, man...
More Mario RPG covers will always be welcome as far as I'm concerned. You went a bit harder with this one than usual, it feels like, and I'm here for it. Also... I know that silhouette well. You have my attention, good sir.
I'm so glad you covered this, especially the second part of the boss fight, which is severely underrated in my opinion. Nice seeing Ro Panuganti and RichaadEB too!
I recently finished the remake. It was my first time playing the game, and honestly mostly only did it because of GaMetal and TerminalMontage referencing it so much. Would I say it’s high up in my list of RPG’s? Honestly, not really. Combat mostly felt like spamming strongest moves, and the story felt lacking outside of Mallow and Geno. …but I’d still say it was $60 well spent. It made me laugh quite a few times, half the bosses were really fun, and the soundtrack… the rest of the game may not have been on par with other RPG’s I’ve played, but the soundtrack absolutely was. Thanks for the encouragement to play it, and I happily look forward to any future covers on this channel.
Well done, loved the tune and a memorable one at that. I remember this fight (Original version, not the remake one) mainly because I never reached it until 13 years after trying the game for the first time. Was one hell of a memorable moment upon Smithy's defeat that day. Context for those that care: Super Mario RPG was my very first video game ever, but being around the age of 5 I was not very good at all lol. Anyways, game was lost, but 13 years later I found the game again as well as the console via a game store called "Play N Trade" and after purchasing them, I went home that day and started working on finishing the journey that started it all for me. So one can perhaps imagine how it felt to finally finish said journey. One for the memory books for sure.
Johnny, I want to thank you so much for all of your awesome jams! Super Mario RPG was such a big part of my childhood and I'm so happy to see your passion for the series! I love how your passion reawakens my own nostalgia and helps to share this series with newcomers. Excellent guest solos by RoPanuganti and RichaadEB as well. I hope one day to be able to help others and share in that passion as you have. I'm also a huge fan of the Zero series, so I can't wait to hear the what melody you will rock out on next!
I haven't actually finished the game yet so thank you for switching to SNES footage for phase2, I appreciate that you consider occasional slo-mos like me lol edit: LMAO NEVERMIND
I realize I forgot to fix my credit card stuff and renew my Patreon. Because if anything says "shut up and take my money!", this does. Also, I'm so glad that Super Mario RPG Remake is a great game. Between the convenience features and the post game, it was such a wonderful time.
Just about perfect, very much what I was looking for in a GaMetal rendition of Fight Against Smith. Thank you! Especially what you chose for the acoustic at the end. That track always brings a tear to my eye. Thank you, GaMetal! (Now I just hope Smithy gets into Smash Bros. one day, along side Geno - that is, both as fully playable.)
LETS GOOOOOO I've been waiting for you to cover this one lol. Epic asf!! BTW i caught my request comment flashing through the beginning of the intro, thanks so much for featuring it if even only for a fraction of a second lmao xD!
Holy CRAP, I am UNWELL over this cover. STRAIGHT FIRE! You guys did an absolutely KILLER job on this, gonna be looping it for weeks! GREAT WORK! (Those original solos tho... wipes forehead)
Awesome freakin' job on this one; everyone was absolutely killing it here. And that teansition between the first and second phases was cleaaaaaaaan. Great stuff. I saw that Mega Man Zero teaser at the end there; you best believe I'm psyched for the next one 😛
lol i was wondering what you were cooking when you asked for green screen footage - thanks again for inviting me along for this one dude!!
Thank you Richaad, always a blast to have you on!
bro turned you into a memorable phase shift transformation 😭
Always sick to see some of my favorite cover artists work together.
And on an SMRPG song even!
Good job lads, you did good with this one.
@@JonnyAtmaCan you do Jazz Castle from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 someday? 😊
Yo thanks for bringing me and Rich along to shred again!! I like joining the GaMetal universe proper and playing around that awesome boss track \m/
Thank you for joining us Ro, always glad to have you on!! 🤘🏼
Hell yah, keep slaying those strings, cool to see a double collab with all of my fave TH-cam guitarist musicians coming together

Man, the Bowser puppet hitting you all with the hammer to transform you, like how Smithy transforms his heads in the game, was the icing on the cake.
With this cover, Jonny could easily conquer this world! A world filled with METAL!!
Agreed!
I would welcome that world with open arms.

Imagine a world with only chrome and robots, lifeless trash heaps I'd say.

What a nice touch to have one of your forms be the FF Version - a subtle nod to Culex, as Culex is a nod to FF. Perfection.

Smithy wished for a world of weapons… little did he know that three of them will turn against him in shredding fire and synthetic lightning.
GaMetal and Yoko Shimomura go together like peanut butter and jelly.

The idea of going through different forms in the song was really cool, especially the way you mixed the lead in and out. And FUCK, lmao, absolute blast from the past seeing you with the trilby and blue guitar. I really have been watchin' you a long time...
AND a MMZ track next, FUCK yeag
OMG YESSSS!
I was needing a rock cover of Smithy's last battle theme, and we got not only that but also a remix for the first one 🤌
...and on top of that, I got goosebumps with 5:18 this song... this game, man...
Oh, and the next song will be from MMZ. It can't get better than that.
More Mario RPG covers will always be welcome as far as I'm concerned. You went a bit harder with this one than usual, it feels like, and I'm here for it. Also... I know that silhouette well. You have my attention, good sir.
PEAK HAS BEEN SMITHED AND CRAFTED FOR US WHO DO NOT DESERVE THIS!
YES! I have been waiting for this one for a long time. This has got to be the best rendition on this song out there!
I love the transformation sequences you did for "Who Likes Transforming" and Ro being "forged" for his part. Nice touches!
This sure was a trip through memory lane, wasn't expecting to see old Jonny too.
Amazing cover as always! :D
I'm so glad you covered this, especially the second part of the boss fight, which is severely underrated in my opinion. Nice seeing Ro Panuganti and RichaadEB too!
This song is pure chaos and it's epic beyond the 10th measure. Legendary
I recently finished the remake. It was my first time playing the game, and honestly mostly only did it because of GaMetal and TerminalMontage referencing it so much.
Would I say it’s high up in my list of RPG’s? Honestly, not really. Combat mostly felt like spamming strongest moves, and the story felt lacking outside of Mallow and Geno. …but I’d still say it was $60 well spent. It made me laugh quite a few times, half the bosses were really fun, and the soundtrack… the rest of the game may not have been on par with other RPG’s I’ve played, but the soundtrack absolutely was.
Thanks for the encouragement to play it, and I happily look forward to any future covers on this channel.
This is a BANGER! It's exactly what i hoped for in a cover for both of these songs and thank you for combining them into one. It sounds great together
Hot damn, these are of my favorite final boss themes ever, and you guys really did an incredible job on them.
Well done, loved the tune and a memorable one at that. I remember this fight (Original version, not the remake one) mainly because I never reached it until 13 years after trying the game for the first time. Was one hell of a memorable moment upon Smithy's defeat that day.
Context for those that care: Super Mario RPG was my very first video game ever, but being around the age of 5 I was not very good at all lol. Anyways, game was lost, but 13 years later I found the game again as well as the console via a game store called "Play N Trade" and after purchasing them, I went home that day and started working on finishing the journey that started it all for me. So one can perhaps imagine how it felt to finally finish said journey.
One for the memory books for sure.
Johnny Atma's about to shake up the foundation with this track.
Johnny, I want to thank you so much for all of your awesome jams! Super Mario RPG was such a big part of my childhood and I'm so happy to see your passion for the series! I love how your passion reawakens my own nostalgia and helps to share this series with newcomers. Excellent guest solos by RoPanuganti and RichaadEB as well. I hope one day to be able to help others and share in that passion as you have.
I'm also a huge fan of the Zero series, so I can't wait to hear the what melody you will rock out on next!
If i could give this cover a name, it'd be "Smithy's Anthem"
Phase 1: "A Smith And His Hammer"
Phase 2: "The Faces of Royalty"
I haven't actually finished the game yet so thank you for switching to SNES footage for phase2, I appreciate that you consider occasional slo-mos like me lol
edit: LMAO NEVERMIND
I audibly exclaimed "HOLY FUCK" at the opening. You blew this one outta the water man.
Oh my god thank you this was always my favorite part of the smrpg medley!
That transition between themes was so smooth! What a slapper you made, Mr. GaMetal!
But I suppose that's standaaaard~!
I realize I forgot to fix my credit card stuff and renew my Patreon. Because if anything says "shut up and take my money!", this does.
Also, I'm so glad that Super Mario RPG Remake is a great game. Between the convenience features and the post game, it was such a wonderful time.
Awesome! I've waited years for Smithy to get the banging tune he always deserved!
This has always been one of my favorite final boss themes in all of gaming. What a treat this is! Thanks for making so many awesome Mario RPG remixes!
Loving the appearance of Classic Jonny. Nice work y'all!
I love this, so much nostalgia.
I love the cover and I love the transfomations with bowser's hammer
All of you rules 🤟
Sick arrangement and awesome editing for the guest spots!
Let's go!!!!
Now I'm dreaming of that long medley that was done like 10 years ago:')
*WOOOOOOOOO! YEAH BABY! THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!*
*WOOOOOO!*
Challenger Approaching: Zero from the _Mega Man Zero_ series.
Yes. Smithy part 1 is my favorite SMRPG track.
“Let’s dance, puny ants!”
Just about perfect, very much what I was looking for in a GaMetal rendition of Fight Against Smith. Thank you! Especially what you chose for the acoustic at the end. That track always brings a tear to my eye. Thank you, GaMetal! (Now I just hope Smithy gets into Smash Bros. one day, along side Geno - that is, both as fully playable.)
You wanted to give these songs so much justice, that you even took on the "Transforming" part yourself.
Don't get so worked up! Think of your blood pressure!
So glad I came across your channel y'all legit do the best metal covers!
LETS GOOOOOO I've been waiting for you to cover this one lol. Epic asf!!
BTW i caught my request comment flashing through the beginning of the intro, thanks so much for featuring it if even only for a fraction of a second lmao xD!
Now THIS is a final boss fight theme worthy to be in a great game
Yes I was hoping this one would be coverd
My second favorite song in the whole game.
Holy CRAP, I am UNWELL over this cover.
STRAIGHT FIRE! You guys did an absolutely KILLER job on this, gonna be looping it for weeks! GREAT WORK!
(Those original solos tho... wipes forehead)
YOU DID IT MY GAMETAL RPG BOSS COLLECTION IS COMPLETE! LOVE YOU MAN
Shoutout to the return of the fedora and the old look once again. Guess you decided to save it for the special occasion, huh.
One of my all time favorite Super Mario villains gets a phenomenal cover. Job well done sir.
Man, i love all the passion and effort you put in every single layer of your covers!
I effing love you man, this is the best version possible out there, not even the remake
I know I've been asking for this since the remake was announced, and, FINALLY IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.
How is no one commenting on Bowser turning Jonny into OG blue and black Jonny from back in the day!! (4:45) That was AMAZING just as this whole video!
Smithy theme is always a Masterpice and your version is no exception
Awesome freakin' job on this one; everyone was absolutely killing it here. And that teansition between the first and second phases was cleaaaaaaaan. Great stuff.
I saw that Mega Man Zero teaser at the end there; you best believe I'm psyched for the next one 😛
