- This tune, either as Snow Mountain, Cool Cool Mountain, Slider, or Bob-omb Battlefield -- all different versions of the same tune -- has been requested a lot. It is a fun tune indeed. Download my piano arrangement here: www.keeper1st.com/music/coolco... or from my site www.keeper1st.com/music/vgm.html
TH-camr "wheelmanmitch" transcribed the entire band arrangement of it, which I then condensed into piano sheet music.
As always, Tom adds a lot more than what's on the page.
Recorded 19 May 2012 at the Sutter Creek Ice Cream Emporium, 51 Main Street, Sutter Creek, California. This was after the May 2012 meeting of the Mother Lode Ragtime Society. - เกม

Oh hey it’s you
hi chris :D
hi mr. pizza time
Lol me too
Hello chirs
The dude in the green shirt never stopped smiling... Hes like... the representation of your youtube audience man... Thanks for sharing.
That's Will Perkins. He's an awesome pianist too and well worth checking out. I haven't seen any uploads of him playing piano for a while though so I hope he's still keeping it up.
Harmonyww
Will has been doing missionary work in Argentina for the past two years. He should be coming back early next year.
Harmonyww
Wow man, thanks! im deff going to check him out.
Agreed!
He did missionary work? That's so cool!!!!!
I'm so glad Tom invented the piano
"The kid in the green shirt" is another pianist I have videos of, Will Perkins.
I love his reactions. It just goes to show you how great Tom actually was.
Nuduk Gaming huh
He should continue the Tom's legacy
@@nudukgaming1564 was ;(
Do you know any other pianists who play video game music this well?
I love how he just cracks up after every performance, like he's genuinely surprised by how amazing it was.
Hey it's Bill!! Somehow I knew you'd seen these haha
Who’s this DOPE!? Four years late I know. Hi bill big fan of the channel.
That’s the mark of a truly professional musician
Music flows through you. When you’re done, it surprises you as much as the audience. It can be very draining actually!
He most likely didn't know what his hands were gonna do til he heard the result!
The guy in the green shirt expresses all of our feelings. That feeling that you are just going to burst when sitting next to greatness. The awkward smile you can’t help but to have while sitting there witnessing history. And at the end of it, all you can do is laugh, because there are no words to describe that level of greatness.
We don’t even bother to aspire to be Tom, we aspire just to be the in the same room as him. Mr. Green Shirt is already more than we can hope to be.
Best description ever. "Mr. Green Shirt" lol :D
emilwestin
Japanese viewers, on a copy of this video posted to Nico Nico Douga, referred to him as Luigi.
Keeper1st Luigi? Is that what they call Green Mario in Japan?
MrJobocan Green Mario is Mario in a green outfit. Luigi is Luigi, Mario’s brother. I don’t know what you mean by calling him “Green Mario”.
An ode, "To Mr. Green Shirt" by L. Spiro
Heh... Will was familiar with the tune, so he had a lot of grins as Tom messed around with it. You can hear him comment afterward, "That was great, Tom!"
He's reading sheet music that I made, and embellishing upon it as he goes along.
Nice job
@@bigrealm8156 rim-job ftfy
@@XXLSkinnyMcGee good job ftfy
If Tom Brier had an album of his interpretation of video game music. I would shell out money in a heartbeat.
THIS. This right here. As it is I've always felt a lot of Mario's music is heavily jazz & ragtime inspired, so after the 2 Super Mario World videos I just had the hugest grin thinking this is what an "HD remaster" of Super Mario Music would accurately sound like.
@@crithitjace Keeper has mentioned it a few times, but getting the licensing rights from Nintendo and other game companies to sell an album with their songs wasn't something Tom was interested in. And now with his injuries, it's not going happen even if he had the rights
@@akim2442 there are a lot of video game cover albums of Squenix games on Spotify, I don't know about Nintendo specifically but it seems like it's getting easier to get licensing rights these days at least!
Keeper has a website with all of the brierized songs
@@monangtam can you share it?
My son got "Super Mario 64 for DS" as a gift from a friend. He got to this song and we both said "where have I heard this before???" -- TOM BRIER!!! Thank you, Keeper, for keeping this memory!!!
Your son's got a friend with great taste.
@@exxon101 fax
what an excellent game
Just got around to beating SM64DS for the first time, actually
How I wish I could go back in time and watch Tom play something like this in person. Sometimes you don't take "maybe someday" seriously enough until it's too late.
Brier is such a genius.
Lord, I hope he recovers. The world deserves more of him.
Regardless, his impact is wide and he made such a huge impression on all of us.
Bless him for even doing all this. What a gem. A true master of the craft.
Man that was so good. So damn damn good. I wish Tom did video game tunes on a more frequent basis. He's so talented I'm borderline convinced there's a fairy living in his neck-beard that grants him special abilities
Well, previously, he was hospitalized by a car accident, but now he's okay!
@@the-building-man thankfully Tom is still alive, but he's far from okay.
As of last week,Keeper commented on another video "He can extend the index finger of his right hand. His left hand moves OK. He can say only "yes" or "no"."
@@the-building-man yep.. he's far from okay. Really hope he gets to receive proper treatment and therapy. Checkout keeper1st's newer video about Tom's recent update.
@@akim2442 @Vic Jang Oh damn now I kind of feel like a jerk. I really hope he does get th treatement he deserves
@@the-building-man you are not a jerk don't feel bad just keep praying!
Tom is one of the best humans to ever roam the earth, wish him all the best in his recovery
What is wrong with his health?
@@Doxsein he got into a bad car accident in which he got rearended and it left him partially paralyzed.
@@ChErRyaVe20pK that's terrible, I hope he has a smooth recovery. i was wondering what classification a bqd car accident meant but I realized it's a "bad" car accident
@@Doxsein yeah sorry that was a typo. And the owner of this channel knows him personally, he uploaded an update video on him recently. You should check it out.
@@ChErRyaVe20pK Oh ok, thanks for the info, I'll check it out!
That part starting at 5:19 almost made me cry. It was like the ending the song deserved. The end of a nostalgic era: everything was so simple when I was a child, and like every child, I always wanted to be an adult, to get a job and a house, it was just a matter of time to be an adult... Now as an adult, I just want to be a child again, but unfortunately I can't travel back in time, and the only way to go to the past is listening to these masterpieces, specially played by this legend. Tom brier you're awesome. Thank you for this.
Luiz Antonio Lol do you always cry like this?
I totally agree! Life's irony as the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard puts it, "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards".
same to me!!
Luiz Antonio for me when I was a kid I was like uhmmm being an adult looks hard let me bot be one and they slowing the years took ny childhood away 😂 😭
❤️
Tom Brier for president.
We could go to war...or...I could just play this piano. *World Peace Attained*
jhett7 mr president they have nukes. quick get to the emergency piano!!
He could play the piano at his own inauguration
godzilla12332 If wars would be fought in forms of piano duels, that would be so hilarious.
+jhett7 You mean.... *world piece* -rimshot-
I wonder if Koji Kondo has seen this, or any other of these videos. And what he thinks
+Stuart Murray Good question. Whatever the answer is I just hope that when he dies he does so knowing that he was a legend in his own time. The man deserves that. Nintendo would not be Nintendo without him. Joy, dread, panic, sadness, hope... he has a way of expressing situations and emotions through song like sounds are a language that he himself created. A language that everyone fluently understands as soon as they hear it and most musicians dream to speak.
A beautiful sentiment, I agree wholeheartedly. Even as a kid with no musical objectivity, when his music played, I FELT it man, and I always will.
Sadly Koji Kondo is on that age when most of the things that other people create are not as good as "the good ol days of yore". The good part is that he seems to be really humble and really down to earth, I like his work. I don't like when people idolize him to the point of divinity, even he doesn't like that according to his interviews.
My uncle works at Nintendo and he says Koji watches them all the time.
@@WigglestheMoose Is your dad also Bill Gates?
I sure hope Tom is doing better. Watching these vids still brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye
Neuralink FTW
@@Don2006 no thank you
@@noahnordenstrom3175no to helping people, good
Koji Kondo is a genius. Tom Brier put a legendary spit shine on that classic theme. Amazing work.
This guy inspired me to finally take piano lessons.
Maybe Tom isn't able to play anymore but he still inspires other people with his incredible skills, thank you aswell for posting these videos
I can't believe how old these videos are now.
A few years ago we all would have had to pay a pretty penny to hear someone like that do something so great. I'm so grateful to be born into a day and age where I can go online and hear this - a life's worth of mastery and practice - for free. thank you so much and rest in peace, Tom.
that guy is a f**king genius!!
*fucking
Thank me later.
@@l3p3 You know he used the asterisks to censor "fuck", right?
@@kapsaysin sure, I misunderstood the intentions, sorry
The guy in the green shirt, grinning in sheer delight and wonder, is basically everyone to have ever watched this video. This is lovely stuff; thank you so much for sharing Tom's talents with the world!
I think that's a female actually.
SeeburgMusic That’s Will Perkins.
@@SeeburgMusic Nope, I'm a dude.
@Will Perkins
Fricking LEGEND! :D
So awesome, I want to hold a penguin up to my chest and slide down a huge mountain...
Martin Messner lol but you'd kill it
Cutest. Comment. Ever.
And then throw it off the cliff?
I remember this channel had maybe 50k subs when I first discovered this talented man on TH-cam and now he's almost up to 100k subs. Despite Tom Brier no longer being capable of uploading himself playing the piano anymore, this is just a demonstration of how his talent on camera has truly caught the attention of everyone who has stumbled across this channel. I hope you're doing well, Tom Brier.
Tom never uploaded any videos. He only had a TH-cam account for following and commenting on others.
Ah, I understand. Thanks for the clarification.@@Keeper1st
Thank you for a-playing my song
Whenever Tom laughs, I laugh right along. Such a privilege for his friends to sit by and enjoy his all-too-fleeting gifts along with him.
I know it is a privilege for me just to watch his performances from afar.
He’s inspiring.
The composition of this video is brilliant: you've got Tom's hands well-displayed, as well as the reaction of a single observer who perfectly represents the joy inspired by his performance. Tom is a true Smilecraft!
That's Will Perkins in the green shirt. He'll be returning from a two-year mission in Argentina soon. Just before he left, I had heard him do a cool stride rendition of the Legend of Zelda theme. Maybe I can capture him playing it this year if he gets it back under his fingers.
Herbert Mortgensen *Tom "the Chosen One" Brier
Oh wow, Will Perkins? Now that Greenshirt has a name, I'm really interested to hear him play!! I hope his mission in Argentina went down without too much trouble! =)
I gotta say Keeper1st, it seems like you've just got all the ragtime connections. Like drug dealers, but with ragtime skills. (no offense intended.)
You kick proverbial ass, Keeper1st!
*****
I have a few videos of Will playing. Here's one of him and Tom making up a duet version of a well-known American song: th-cam.com/video/9mUIatUr8NA/w-d-xo.html
Who else is watching old tom brier vids to pass the time while he heals up, because you just know that no one can possibly match his skill in improvising or sight-reading songs on piano, so watching others perform Briers songs aren’t good enough for you?
I'm listening to him everyday at work. No words can describe him.
I refuse to believe these god blessed hands are not on a piano today. Best wishes for Tom!
Something about the chord progression from 5:16 onwards makes my eyes get all sweaty
Edit: It's really just the whole section from 4:54 to the end
yeah its so sad i dont know man its the feelings
+NerkMineRaiste It's like listening to my childhood drawing to an end
UnleashNinjaGuru exactly what I thought the first time I watched this!
When I'm old and gray and come back to TH-cam 40 years from now, I'm going to come back to this & feel the exact same levels of pure joy and happiness I always feel when I watch this.
There's no ego, no alternate judgement or opposing thought that could EVER break this natural feeling of pure joy and happiness.
Sensational! ❤️
The joy, nostalgia, and tears this video and channel brings me are unexplainable. I first found Tom's work in 2016, and 5 years later it still brings me the same emotions. Wishing Tom all the best and a speedy recovery. Thank you.
Honestly I clicked the like button before I listened to it. I regret nothing!
Same here, I've seen some videos and he's pretty damn good.
The improvised key changes at the very end as he chromatically descended were literally perfect. Such an amazing musician.
I think that would be like Lizst's or Mozart's sight reading level skills
i don’t think anyone understands the sheer amount of skill you need to pull this off
I come back to these every half a year or so
I never realized the roots from the smb3 overworld theme in this until now. truly a gifted man if he can reveal such subtleties while sight reading
+Lee Godinez Well, it's just in the music, and when you take away differences in orchestration such similarities are more easily heard by the listener.
+Keeper1st you should tell him to sight read the legend of zelda game over theme :P
You mean this? th-cam.com/video/vhRBGCS8mlc/w-d-xo.html
I don't hear the similarities, can you explain further
Aside from the first couple of chords in the "bridge" parts of both of the songs, there are no significant similarities
Pure genius, especially this song. I really like Tom Brier and hope he recovers well.
It really is a joy to watch this man play. It's simultaneously very impressive and just fun. Can't help smiling.
And this is already a sweet, fun song!
Because he's a genius. That's how they are; doing impressive things so easily and enjoying it while making all people happy.
+YTDekus i guess that makes me a genius. lol
Keeper1st he’s one of the greatest living stride/jazz pianists imo. Wishing him a steady recovery.
Indeed
The guy in the background personifies my feelings for this :)
He's every one of us!
Tears on my eyes..
+dancre Everytime
evertim
Oh good, I'm not the only one.
Eyes on my tears
Literally not even done with the first loop and he's already jazzin' it up as he sees fit, this man is absolutely god-tier.
That tender outro.... Godspeed Tom. Godspeed.
Tell me the dude at least saw the piece for 2 mins... I mean seriously how does one sight read AND add their own stuff to this kind of piece under 2 mins?! That is some wicked skill you have right there.
+Jeremy Ng Just like how a jazz musician reads a lead sheet or fake book. He reads enough of the score to get the melody and the chord sequence, and fleshes it out from there. Of course, he's been doing it for over 35 years, so he's become rather good at it.
Amazing... I'm just blown away XD
The keyword is practice. ;)
what kind of monster would dislike this
A sonic fan
Someone without good taste in music
a baby penguin
The ones who get pushed out of the Ice Slide by the Big Pinguin during the race.
@@Oceane1803 xD
Tom's officially a musical genius...as are you, the author of these arrangements.
Koji Kondo
ThaVillageGamers I meant the piano arrangements you mentioned in the description specifically; I know Koji Kondo wrote the original version ; )
SmashBroRazz oh okay
Just to point out - Tom's version is an interpretation. I'm pretty sure the sheet music isn't quite as crazy as his playing
Hot damn I have never seen an instrument come to life in such a way than at 1:35.
oh my god that ending
i could keep listening to his piano playing over and over again
He gave it One pass sight read...the rest was Tom Briar Mountain....spectacular
Did he seriously fucking sight read this? Like i know people are good at reading music, but i feel like i couldn't sight read this unless i had dedicated my whole life to music, not learning language or social skills or anything else other than how to play sheet music on piano.
Tom indeed says that, because he learned to sight read from such a young age, music is like language to him, thus he can read, create and modify it as easily as he can read, create and modify sentences on page.
It's not as hard as it seems, the thing is doing it in this level? Normal people need a try or two to grasp the melody and a little more to inject their style.
But this guy is beyond us.
Joie et mélancolie, cette jolie musique de Super mario 64 sonne comme un "ne soyez pas triste les amis, il y a de la joie". Toutes mes pensées à Tom et qu'il soit heureux.
Props to the truck driving by at 4:10, impeccable timing
Of all Tom's video game songs, this one might be the best. It's certainly debatable, but this is an amazing version of this song.
I personally think this is one of Tom’s best sight reads when it comes to these video game pieces. I’m also partial to the Super Mario Land 2 ending.
Apart from this gent being able to play this from sight, one of the other things that blows my mind is how quickly he gets back on track if he does make a wee mistake here or there. He just plays on without a break in his flow at all it's amazing.
I miss this man so much
year 2022 and tom brier still its the best
wow that was 9 years ago! that nostalgic! im here in 2022 cause remembered my childhood memories. even camera quality looks so retro haha! awesome!
SD Widescreen FTW!
His endings are the best part ❤
Mr. Neck Beard kills that shit in all his videos. Its funny how the nephews try to set up their uncle Neck Beard and he just nails that shit every effin time!!!
I love this video and this comment, it make me laugh every time.
Those last 3 chords brought a tear to my eye
Still returning to Tom's remarkable sight-reading brilliance from time to time, enjoying the sheer talent and his honest joy! He might not ever recover from the tragic accident, but he'll continue putting a smile on so many faces as long as we have this channel
Since I crossed by Tom's videos about a year ago I come back to listen his songs every day. Especially this and the Yoshi's Island video I find amazing. But every one of them is so cool!
The way Tom is able to play and improvise is astounding to me and aspired me to start to learn to play the piano. I hope that one day I will be just close to this level of awesomeness.
I hope Tom will get better soon.
This one is particularly cool. ;)
@@SuperYtc1 It definitely is :)
OH BOY, IT KRIMAAAAAAH! *slap*
this has to be the best sightread Tom did on cam in terms of technical ability?
It says "Please do not let children play on piano."
Is that your dad? You're just giving him sheet music, sitting back and watching him play it flawlessly? That's awesome!
***** My dad? No; Tom is a year younger than I am! I do have a playlist of video interviews of my dad which I made the last time I saw him. He passed away in 2011.
Keeper1st He is great I have a favorite song from that same video game its the bomb omb battlefield music but this is great! :O
+Keeper1st There's an interview with him somewhere on youtube, but I can't find it. It was about him collecting a bunch of ragtime sheet music. Do you know of it?
+Pancreas Dragonheart It's in this video. th-cam.com/video/4THb5cTT6Lk/w-d-xo.html
+Pandcreas Dragonheart àv
Most, but not all, of us can sight-read a newspaper. But Tom Briers can read music notation, edit it, vary it and then play it with style. Effing awesome.
Came back for this year's dose as well.
I am spending weeks trying to learn this damn tune. And this dude just plays it first time.
That's the power of sight-reading.
@@darkerdeath3160 and practice
My god, I swear I cry every time I watch this guy play. He just hits the soul like nothing else.
The improvisation he adds to this already set in stone music is just incredible.
I was expecting him to quote the OG Game Over theme at the end and then remembered Tom has never played video games so why would he? Probably literally the *only* thing that might have improved this performance, and even then only by a minuscule margin. I hope Tom is able to play at even a fraction of this skill someday in the future, I’m sure he can’t bear not playing for so long.
I hope he gets better. Sending him ❤️
What a joy to listen to.
この方のピアノほんと好き
People don't appreciate the genius it takes to do this... I honestly don't know if there is a classical concert pianist who is able to do what this man does... and he seems so humble about everything too... I'm just gobsmacked at what I'm witnessing here... He could have EASILY won any America's got talent - or any other competition in the WORLD.... WOW. Just WOW. BREATHTAKING STUFF!!!!
Man is an absolute god playing inversions off of his head
He looks and sounds so confident. I love him.
I'm glad I found this gold channel
Seeing Tom playing piano this well makes me kinda wish I would of stuck with it when I took lessons when I was younger.
Agreed
It's been over 10 years, I met Tom when I was a tenager, now I'm a grown up man with my own family, and still Tom continue to amaze me and by far he is the musician that most inspires me on what I should bring to people while playing. I'm a bass and guitar player from Brazil playing brasilian rythms and It's crazy how this guy has much to teach even without meeting personally and huge cultural difference.
If you are musician too, let's preserve this feeling that Tom brings to us and keep what really matters in music despite of the instrument and genre we are playing. Music is not only about technique but also about healling people.
I feel like Tom and Koji Kondo would be good friends
I've listened to these recordings times uncounted, but I was absolutely unprepared for the tone shift at 5:20
It just wrecked me emotionally, like Tom distilled a lifetime of nostalgia into a brief musical moment. Jesus.
Then he finished with a quick humorous flourish. Don't think he realized how much power he was wielding. The world is missing a legendary artist. Thank you for recording these for the rest of us.
This brings me to tears every time I watch it. The human potential for art and the sheer talent shown here combined with perfect execution is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
if you didn't know sadly in a car accident he was paralyzed partially, I hate how its always the best people who get done in by fate
Can we appreciate the OP also for arranging this stuff too, a hell of a skill in itself? We can't wait to see you back at it one day Tom
I'm just smiling and bouncing around on the couch hearing you play, thank you you made me feel incredibly good
still has the same effect 2 years later
Same for 3 years later
same 8 years later :)
The address of this location is in the description. He plays there every odd-numbered month except November, as well as during the ragtime festival in August.
3:10 front row seat to greatness just soaking it in.
This man knows the music in his brain and in his fingers before it happens (like Anakin Skywalker), just from reading it on the page of music, in time, practically in the moment he first is seeing it!
Edit: I’m watching rn with my phone at 64%! Coincidence? I think not!
I can sight read music, but NOT to this extent lol! And actually I played the version of Super Mario Land that you wrote for Tom! It was a hit at our music school banquet! Of course I had to adjust to my fingering since I’m younger by a lot!
This man never siezes to amaze me
"I put some note in there you can't reach with just two hands"
Tom: *this mortal is challenging me*
It saddens me what happened to this man, he is trapped within his own body. He was so talented.
