Somehow I was able to contain myself this long and save one of the most dear video game songs I have to my heart for last. I can't think of a more hauntingly beautiful song in all of video gaming and anyone who spent any amount of time playing SM64 walked away humming this. I would even go so far as to say that this is probably the best overworld theme ever in my opinion. The chromaticism and perfect blend of classical and jazz really brings this overworld back to feeling like the very first one on the NES. It's a pretty bare song, while heavy in harmony is light in that there's no strong percussive element. I really wanted to capture that in the beginning of this cover whether or not staccato lead guitars sound silly on their own. I thought it was a charm in the original that couldn't be ignored. In fact, there was really nothing I felt I could leave out! Can you name all three snippets from the game I quoted in the second half of the solo?
I feel like at the end of every year there was a huge leap in my mixing ability right towards the end after a slightly, well, experimental stage. It sucks a bit to be calling it quits on weekly vids after this next one, but despite my bounds on the post-production side of things, I think it's safe to say my psyche could use a break. Not to mention my schedule. I played around with utilizing snare verb in a different way than before, something I've been wanting to try for a while and felt it really added to the mix. The rhythm guitars and bass were written to be way more involved than the already intricate leads so clarity was important here. It was tough to allocate enough head room in the lower mids for all the instruments but everyone seems to just cut those frequencies out and I really want to employ them more from now on. Anyways, a bittersweet ending to weekly cover videos with a song among my top 10 favorites of all time.
Year 3 is almost over! It's been a crazy ride but there's one more video left! I've done the previous two years' videos as a music video style outdoor vid, but I wanna try something different this year. Something I've seen many other people do and always wanted to try. It could be awesome or it could tank! Needless to say, I'm excited!

This adds a whole new meaning to metal Mario xD
+Roose HA! I like you. :3
Strange, I never really even considered this track at all until just now. It was always just kind of a background track for me, one that didn't really stand out a whole lot, but I can see where you're coming from with it. I guess it's nice to get away from all the overdone popular tracks with their aviator sunglasses and popped collars once in a while though.
Looking forward to that final video!
Shots fired holy shit
nah, its just that theres a definite trend among rock/metal YT-VGM musicians to cover a lot of the same tracks. it just kinda caught me off guard to see that this is the one that julio was all hyped about, since I haven't seen it done before.
I can see how my comment might be construed as kinda mean tho
Oh nah I assumed it was aimed at someone else ;)
*****
I think it's safe to assume MetalFortress has covered every track in the universe at this point
RichaadEB Pretty safe yeah. Hahahaha! ^^
Man, you kill it
EVERY
SINGLE
TIME!
great job!
this video has served as one of my greatest sources of inspiration for melodic soloing for many many years. I can never thank family jules for making this enough for this.
He got me into making video game metal covers lol, granted I haven't released any. But still!
Made me cry, I miss those innoncent days.
Samuel Richer-Guinard every time i listen to this i get emotional. This games soundtrack was a huge part of what made the massive Nintendo fan i am today. This song just has all those memories flooding back and i get so happy i have to cry. lol
I feel ya. I wish I could go back to being that crazy little kid who looked forward to nothing more than coming home to a few decent hours on Nintendo 64.
I'm with u guys
I feel you... Most VGM from games I played does that to me and it always hits hard.
That pussy man...
Ironic
Your truly gifted. I don't think anyone else could of transformed such a simple background theme song to an amazing signature tune. You are most likely the best artist when it comes to video game music covers. Great job bro, bravo!
the solo going into 2:30 then that melodic riff is awesome man!
NType9
w-what?
NType9 wat
NType9 PERV!!
NType9
oOH GOD! I CAN'T UNSEE IT! HELP!!
DYLZAL I know dude/dudet
Man, I never expected to hear you cover this, but holy crap am I glad you did! This was just as amazing as the original was when small child me heard it for the first time! You really hit me in the nostalgia spot with this one! Fantastic cover! Can't wait to hear the spectacular finale to Year 3!
What a nice coincidence, I just completed Super Mario 64 with 100% two days ago! Great cover as always, one can really hear (and see) your enjoyment while playing this track. :)
Come mario, I've baked a cake for you
"baked a cake"
Using midi strings, yuck. You could have asked me to help. lol I kid, but really... great choice for the penultimate video of Year 3. Looking forward to what you have in store for the last one :)
Troll is troll
ExplodedMr T Yes because I'm totally the biggest troll out there, boo hoo.
yuck!
insaneintherainmusic no u
mklachu noooo. urgayurgayugayurgayurgay (not rly, but i bet you know where its from!)
0:27 My favorite part of this great cover
EDIT: Nope, its definetly 1:27 now
Jules, you've also grown into one of the few guitarists that can play with just the right feel. This was amazing, and your lead work was just the right amount, as well as just the right feel. Damn good job.
Holy fucking shit please do mega man 3 shadow man's stage!!!
Yes!!! That's my fav mega man track!! :))
when i hear this song while working, i can't stop writing stuff! it's great! I don't know why it happens but my brain just wants to automatically write things on the keyboard. Am I the only one here? most songs make me lose concentration, but not this one.
I would suggest a redub of this medley to : The best Mario Fanfare of all time - 64 - Castle Walls
I got a point though, correct?
I wish there was a familyjules7x setting in the music to make Mario 64 epic when I'm racing the koopa or defeating bowser in the dark sky
How long have I waited for a cover of this song... :P
I’m inside your castle walls.
man this was so damn rad! so many memories were just bought back to me!
its like PTSD except you replace the Stress part with Fun.
Topatobean PTFD
What about covering Littleroot Town Theme from Pokemon Ruby? :O
Holy damn "the kick" around the minute part when it really starts to rock out. Awesome job as always! N64 will be the ultimate console forever, handful of the best games ever produced were made for that platform. Golden ages of the nintendo, from NES to N64.
3:27 hes all like
Hah , you thought is was gonna end right there didn't ya.
XD
Was that glam poster of Princess Peach behind you? Oh you sly rock demigod you.
I want to hear a King of Fighters Medley from FamilyJules7X!!
I'm a guitar player myself. I'm 13. U should show me the tab for that solo. 👍
I hope he is doing a full Age of Empires 2 ost cover. I would cry.
You briefly doubling the melody onto the bass around 2:35 sounds so fucking good
I never really liked this theme, but I absolutely do like this!
TH-cam y u no give me power to click like more than once...another awesome cover fj
SICK! Childhood Enhaced!!
I kept hearing "Whaa! Whoohooo! Hiihiheeee! Uwaaah!" in my head while listening to this! #Nostalgia
Was it Myamoto? The maker dude of Mario and all that? Anyhow, it would be cool to link him to this somehow. I bet he would be mighty impressed!
This was almost as good as a classic FJ7x credits theme, amazing work with a simple favorite :D Next week is going to be awesome
Square have Black Mages, Nintendo have...
Maybe Nintendo should perhaps give you an open contract and pay you whenever you have a new song ready.
The poster with Peach doing the Ms. Monroe pose on a drainpipe is awesome.
Im 7 years late but dam im glad I searched up this theme and this came up;)
Can you give me the tabs for the intro part one and two? Please
dios mio.... AWESOME perfect cover man!! I love it!! YOU are the fucking boss here, just you!!
I freaking love you, dude :) That was epic! ^_^
*-* At least, your cover should to appear in one stage of super smash bros, at any Mario's Stage.
amazing!
Fanstastic job Jules!!! :D You're the best!!!
ATTA BOY JULES
Congratz on your 200 video!!!!
Makes playing guitar look so easy
You should totally do something from Transistor since it just released (also because it's awesome)
It's the small details you've put into this song that makes me say you are a musical GENIUS
IF YOU DO THIS I WILL YOU LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER. THE ENDING THEME FOR SUPER MARIO WORLD. GO LOOK IT UP NOWW
Hey quick question man, how did you manage to get the blackouts into you schecter since it lacks a 9 volt battery cavity? (I own a damien fr as well, just curious)
Imagine a Mario Warriors game lmao this would be perfect for it
See this + Seeing the "Dorkly's Peach Revenge" = ABSOLUTE WIN
Jules, I've watched your stuff for a LONG time, and I have to admit...That guitar solo at 2:00 is now my favorite thing of yours ever. It's so smooth. Great job on this cover, it is now my favorite.
AMAZING JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now this cover is on my top 10 of your videos.
AWESOME cover, dude! =D
Hey man, this is amazing work, I absolutely love your song selection! You seem to cover all the lesser known stuff, which I've been waiting for ages for someone to smash out :D I remember reading in one of your video descriptions you said you felt like you might be running out of classic games to cover. Well, just to throw my two cents in, Space Station Silicon Valley had some amazing tunes on it as well as Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon both on the N64. A Space Station Silicon Valley Medley would be incredible; songs like Honeymoon Lagoon, Snow Joke, Penguin Playpen, Rat-o-matic, Fat Bear Mountain and The Engine Room are all five-star material. Some of my favourite cuts from Mystical Ninja were Yamato, Tosa, I Am Impact, Zazen Town, Kai Highway, Folkypoke Village and the main theme. Anyway, amazing stuff, keep it up!
Way to take me back ... my cousin was like 11 years old when he had a paper route to buy the N64 just so he and I could play! Hey sorry about that hair question....I did see you already answered it....if I find my other comment I will delete it.....I just can't remember where it is......
Fuuuuuck I'm in love with you. Your Team Rocket Hideout Cover was amazing enough but THIS made me squeal!!!
awesome performance Jules!!! great choice to cover! just love that catchy melody!
What a legend bro
Nobody:
Bowsette:
I think I will take the next two weeks off and just worship all my favorite guitarists.....PSHH lol
Loved this one. I think what really shines here is the bass playing, which is awesome to see because I remember videos where you'd just be hammering out root notes :p this cover has a great bassline and I adore some of the fills you did. Really great job man :)
Also I heard the Credits Theme and the main Mario theme in your solo but I can't find the third :(
PENULTIMATE ALREADY???
Wow
I can't wait to see which ending credits you're planing for :D
I've just watched the video twice and can't seem to hear a third snippit, I got SSBB's Staff Roll, and Mario Kart's Rainbow Road... but what's the third? (i did notice about half way through, the percussion didn't seem right....)
Ahhh, yes. A classic song. How many Mario games have it in them? I've never played SM64, but I've heard it in Mario Luigi: Superstar Saga. Must be a recurrent song.Anyway, great cover as always. You've really grown as a musician in the past two years, and you've grown on us, no doubt. Looking forward to the last song of year 3!
One more suscriber ;) Between that and Dark Souls cover, so much pleasure.
Can we found your tabs anywhere (I'm interested bay guitar tabs, for my part)
You're AWESOME !
You are killing man!!!! Is there anyway I can get the track without drums?
Hmmm. Like other commenters, I've noticed the SM64 credits theme and THE Super Mario overworld tune, but that first bit in the solo has me stymied. It sounds kinda Rainbow Road-ish, but I'm not certain...
Man I can't believe we're already at the end of year 3, it seemed to go by so quick! Great choice of a song for this week, I think you captured the atmosphere nearly perfectly. I could totally replace the original with this :) I'm excited to see what you have as the final video! You are crazy talented, and easily one of the hardest working musicians. Final week, here we come.
FamilyJules7X I think you should do a cover on "In The Final" from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. That would be awsome if you could, it would sound amazing!
You play so well, yet you are not professional... why?
That's the way the music industry goes lady. You can be a guitar God and not many people really care now days. To busy supporting jokes and hacks like Kanye west or justin beiber... People need to pull their heads out of their asses and stop making stupid people famous and focus on talent like this kid....
Guess you aren't a lady sorry. Your avatar made me think
Praster89 That's why i dont like the music world at all, this guy and sungha jung are the perfect examples that the real talent is not what it's important.... and that pisses me off, the music world is corrupt :(
Ok, now it's official. This cover broke me. I now have a straight crush on you and your guitar playing skills. And I'm as gay as can be, but that man was utterly amazing. I have to find my N64 now and put the sound on mute and have this playing in the background on repeat.
parody or seriously :). I don't know but this music is pretty good :D
So much memories ^^
Could you possible do a cover of Heartful Cry, Unavoidable Battle, or Battle for Everyone's Souls from Persona 3 FES? That would be awesome man.
I think I just found my favorite FJ7X since Snowboard Kids medley.
I'm gonna be so upset next Tuesday when it's your final video dude. Your weekly covers have been getting me through my three years of Uni. Especially this third year whenever I was stressing with deadlines I always had a kick ass cover to look forward to on Tuesdays.
Best of luck with reaching your dreams though dude. I hope you do finally make it as a composer for games. You will definitely be one of the greats :) x
I almost feel like this is what i would be doing if i decided to start playing a guitar at least 10 years ago when i had ample chances. our childhoods were too much alike when it comes to video games Mr.Jules.
the FEELS from this song! its like i just had PTSD video game style. just replace the Stress part with Fun.
amazing as always ^^
bro... please end year 3 with a Megaman 3 or 2 medley or Chrono Trigger... it just feels right .___.
Have you done the Rival theme from Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal yet? If not, it'd be epic if you did..such power.
My step daughter and my girlfriend love this song! They love the work you do man! I found you just by doing random searches for the Advantage and you popped on my search....great stuff man and keep it up!
I always listen to the original songs before I listen to your covers, but I thought 'How could you make an exceptional cover out of this?' You blew me away. Can't wait for year four, man. I'm sure you have your final song, but I'd say anything that was a final boss battle would fit very nicely.
What if Jun Senoue composed for Super Mario 64?
Probably something like this.
amazing... almost brought me to tears jules! I think I need to replay super mario 64 again
You've built up the music like Dire Dire docks, First medly, then violins, then drums. Really nice touch! :D
I've been watching you for so long I know exactly what it's gonna sound like from the guitar you use.
FOR GODS FUCKING SAKE WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME !?!?!? I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ALL YOUR TRACKS !!!! NOW !!!!
This may just me being an idiot but I can't download the mp3 link anymore well I actually can but I download a HTML file instead can some one enlighten my why this is happening?
Have you considered the music from Galford's stage, Samurai Shodown??
Darnit! I subscribed right before the end of weekly videos? Oh well. Oh, and happy 200th!
In your next video you could play the songs of Launch Octopus or Flame Mamooth?
They did not in your medley of Megaman X :c
This + Shrooms = Long haired Mushroom people headbanging for 4 mins at a Mario rock concert. Great work as always but now onto the rest of me mind trip and the weird side of TH-cam before my computer eats my hands again
i don't know... The castle was rather creepy, it was so emtpy.... Maybe if there were more toads doing stuff, there...
Congrats to your 200th video man!
It's awesome to see that you kept on so far, hopefully you'll keep on for at least another 200 vids!
Keep up your great work!
Tfw you realize Peach's Castle doesn't have walls.
I just recently discovered your channel but I gotta say, I love your videos. You're the guitar equivalent to smooth mcgroove.
I liked listening to your song-- please do keep recording videos! Also - it would be cool to watch you making some collaborations in BandHub
0 dislikes, let's keep it that way.
But seriously, Jules, fantastic job with this track. It's really beautiful.
Has jules already made gangplank galleon yet? Cause that theme and frog theme from Chrono are the best videogame themes IMO , Awesome track as always tho!
