Live Broadcast Game - BS Super Mario USA, Week 1

(edits: URLs fixed.)

The only words I can put to describe this are; Fear Birdo. DREAD Birdo. Birdo is scary.



This is week 1 of BS Super Mario USA, in embedded cruddy VHS video format. As usual, NicoNicoDouga's the best I got for a source name, although it seems someone is helping me with finding names. Does anyone here know a tokkys? tokkys is a name referenced iwth the BS-X videos often, it seems...

but whoops, I'm drifting here! Multi-track drifting in fact! Time to cut to the chase.



Welcome back to Subcon! Apparently, it was more than just a dream, and Wart isn't very happy about that! So he's... stolen all the Mario Statues.... Yeah. Such a diabolical plan he's got there. Note the sarcasm. -_-;

Anyway, Mario and the gang have paled up with the King of Subcon to nab the statues back and beat Wart, multiple times over!

Note the Japanese voice actors. very peculiar choices. Mario matches the voice seen in Super Famicom adverts. Toad sounds the most like any current incarnation, but lacks the sore throat. Peach sounds... well, geez, she sounds like your mom! A rather peculiar VA choice.

Then you got the diabolical group on the other side - the Mario USA bosses. Mouser sounds like a punky teenager, Clawgrip likes speaking Engrish, FryGuy sounds like an old karate master... actually fairly badass, I might say.

... but then we get to Birdo. Ah, remember the old tales of Birdo being a guy, wanting to be a girl? Well, in this particular incarnation of Super Mario USA, the joke is more alive than it ever was or ever will be! Birdo sounds like the most stereotypical homosexual you can ever imagine, and what's worse? Along with the pink Birdo, there's the green and red Birdo, making a TRIO of stereotypical "gaybirds" mocking you while you try to clear these goals!

... oh, right! Excuse my ranting, here's the rest of it!






And now, the original NicoNicoDouga URLs.

Where's the rest of this, NicoNicoDouga? - BS Super Mario Collection 1

(EDIT: URL CHANGGEEEE)

Back in January, a piece of video from "BS Super Mario Collection" appeared. I was excited when I saw it.



Here's what it looked like...



relatively bizarre, don't you think? First it looks like Mario 3, then it kicks into Mario 1 levels!

... I eagerly awaited for more videos, but it's been a few months now, and nothing's come up. :(

Here's the original BTW:

Listen to the Satellaview - Musical Pieces from Live Broadcast Games (Part 1?)

I will now post up some MP3s of music that played on the Satellaview.

I've searched high and low for some of these. These are arrangements of various game music that have played during a game's Live Broadcast.

The ones I have found were apparently released on CD beforehand. I will put down CD info when I can.



This is a track from Toy Music which plays during BS Zelda broadcasts.



This track from Super Famicom Game Music plays during it's appropriate spot in BS F-Zero.



This doozy of a track comes from Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, -Hop! Step! Jump!- and is played during BS Super Mario USA, as well as used in various other moments (For example, Satellaview game advertisement BGM)

Other than ripping the MP3 from my embed, if you want to download the music, look up these discs on your favorite music-swiping source.

I have more sounds that I have not posted yet (because I'm lazy), so if you're interested, stay tuned... or something.
