Purple Coins (Super Mario Galaxy) R.C. Remix

The Purple Coins theme plays when you are playing through most Purple Coins missions in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Sometimes I see this track listed as "Purple Comet" rather than "Purple Coins."

This is a track that I do not see get covered all that much even though it leverages the main motif of the game very well.

This is one of my better sounding covers. Although, after some time, I realized that using the whammy bar at the end of the loop was not a good decision since there are too many clashing noises there. I was suggested to shake the whammy bar instead, but at that point, I had already finished mixing. The part that took the longest was writing the drums since I was not quite sure what I wanted to do for it. But, I believe what I wrote fits well with the genre.

This track was pretty easy to learn since it is somewhat repetitive. I even performed this track during Make Music Day 2025 in the summer. My favorite part of this remix is the transition to the Gusty Garden Motif. The guitar, the bass, and the drums are all doing similar but different rhythms that blend together nicely.

Something to note is that I recorded the audio and video of this during the end of May 2025 or beginning of June 2025. I just ended up getting lazy to continue doing anything related to music. But, Thanksgiving Break has given me an opportunity to continue. I am mentioning this because I have been taking some more guitar lessons as of late, so watching the video of this project is kind of hard due to the poor technique I am using to play both the guitar and the bass. I also got a new bass, so this will likely be the one of the last times you will see me play on this bass guitar.

The video was all recorded by me, including the gameplay footage as the background. I got inspiration to record the video like this from GaMetal's Buoy Base cover.
