Superstar Saga Medley (Fanmade Super Smash Bros. Remix)

I've been playing Superstar Saga on my Switch and remembering how great of a game it is, and enjoying its amazing soundtrack! Including no remixes for this iconic game in Smash is a crime, so I wanted to make a Smash-style medley of some of its most prominent themes.

This is actually an updated version of a remix I made a long time ago. My old Superstar Saga medley hasn't aged too well in terms of sound quality, but I still really like how the medley is structured and have been wanting to make a new version. With a more upbeat style, and a few more themes in the mix, I thought it would work perfectly as a Smash remix. I think a remix like this would be perfect if there was a Beanbean Kingdom stage in Smash!

I looked to some of Yoko Shimomura's Smash remixes for inspiration to try to imagine how she might rearrange these songs for the context of Smash, especially her delightful Treasure Trove Cove remix. The result is a mix of acoustic and orchestral instruments, with a touch of charming chiptune & synth, atop an almost club dance beat.
