Yoshi's Island - Athletic theme (Neon X remix)

Remix of the Athletic theme from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island on SNES

Hey guys! This was a really delayed remix due to IRL schedule being too much lately. I'm never satisfied with some of my remixes and could rewrite or add new stuff for months before feeling that it is complete. But we all know we need to leave some ideas behind and just be happy with what we got at the moment. I'm suspecting this could be a song I'll come back to in the future when I really starting re-remixing my older songs.

Starting just like the original with part 8-bit drums, and part ordinary drums. Then halfing the already fast tempo by adding my usual snare and taking back the 8-bit one. Then when the original loop ends I've added a fresh solo/melody over the original chord progression. After that I take the intensity down a bit with a Steely Dan inspired part followed by my usual atmospheric part (where I use one of my newest syntesizers for that tenor sax) with a smooth jazz-ish section. Back to the original chord progression with a solo that's actually a melody from the original song. You can hear it in the background a bit in with an oboe sounding brass instrument (not sure exactly what instrument it's supposed to be). I end the remix by repeating the main theme followed by strings and tenor sax at descending tempo.

Again, sorry for keeping you waiting for this one! Life gets in the way sometimes. I truly hope it won't be this long before I can release my next one!

Oh, and before I forget - the time is closing in to 5k subs which I'm so freakin' happy for! Can't believe so many people found their way to my very niched channel, not being a YouTube video channel at all, but all in music xD As I have mentioned before, I will put up a big poll for you to vote on a song I should remix for my 5k anniversary.

This is my idea:
First, vote on style (I have been touching quite some genres so far)
Second, vote on console/platform
Third, vote on game

Please give me some ideas of what you want the poll to be like. Should I just put up a single poll with some song suggestions, just a game to choose songs from or this proposed three step poll?

I really hope you will enjoy this remix!
