Hello, you! Fancy meeting you here. You might be wondering what the heck this is, upon other things. I'll try answering stuff right now.

--Alright, what am I looking at/hearing right now?--
This here is a collection of every piece of music I made, starting back in 2017, using a program called Mario Paint Composer, an enhanced PC version of the Composer application from Mario Paint for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The site that offered this program is long gone, I believe.
As far as my knowledge goes, every single track on this list is original, save for a source of inspiration for two of them I mention in the video... Feel free to tell me if that's not the case though.

--Okay, but it seems you already uploaded those individually. So why?--
Those old vids are bad. Rather quiet, still have that clicking in the beginning, uninteresting to look at... I wanted to make it at least a bit better this time. And, y'know, why not cover them all at once? I don't feel like uploading 10+ videos at the same time.

--Is it just me, or are some of the tracks not in sync with the video?--
It's not just you, simply put. No matter what I did, they would always desync. Maybe it's my editing software, maybe it's MPC, I can't really say...

--Hey, uh... The tracks themselves aren't really good, y'know?--
I know... For one, the majority of them were made without prior experiences, they'd mark my "humble beginnings", if you will. I would sit down and compose things as they came to mind, thinking it'd be a good idea and I should just roll with it. Back then, I was quite impressed with myself, but now... Not so much.
Furthermore, this program is somewhat limited, it won't let you place more than 5 "notes" in one column. I didn't consider "thinking outside the box" and increasing speed much or something.
If you really think they aren't good, don't worry. I share the same sentiment.

--Okay, but... Then, why, oh why, did you do this?--
I'm not quite sure...? I mean... It took up a decent amount of my time. To prove that I can? To renew what didn't age well? To just feel good about myself? Maybe all of them.
I know not. But let me tell you: Some things don't really need an explanation. They just... happen.

--Cool cool. So what do you plan to do next?--
I plan on throwing this program out the window, because I lost the motivation to use it. I feel that I should let it go now.
Also, all those old MPC videos I released back then (that were part of my Music Stuff playlist) will be unlisted. No need to keep them up for everyone.

--Anything else I should know?--
Uhh, yes.
First, if you know something about music, feel free to take those and turn them into something good. Prove to me that they CAN be good... maybe. Or don't. You don't need to, y'know.
Secondly, and you could apply that to point one as well, all of them are free to use and do whatever with, as long as you credit me. That's the one thing I'd welcome.

--Alright, alright, take me to the Download now.--
(Edit 08/23/2023: This used to be a GDrive link, but I've moved the archive over to OneDrive.)

--What does it contain?--
-11 main tracks, the two bonus ones and the unused parts, all in MP3 format (with Details added to the files themselves)
-Two more bonus tracks that aren't part of the "Originals" (credits added)
-"Sheets" for all of the above
-the cover art (and instructions on how to set it in place using the Windows Media Player library if you have to, heh)

There are also all these "AlbumArt" and "Folder" JPGs in there automatically... I have no idea, really. They're just there. First and probably only time I'm doing this, tell me if that's normal.

And that's it! Thank you all for watching and reading (I hope), have a good time of day.
