By far, one of the BEST arrangements of this song I've ever heard! Everything is on point: The arrangement, the performance, the video editing, the sprites interacting on the screen. You can tell a lot of care and dedication was put into this and everyone probably had a blast making this video. I'm really looking forward to see more from you guys. This is absolutely amazing! The fact that you've already got more than 1000 subscribers with just ONE video already shows how good this is.

It's only natural and appropriate- Koji Kondo played in a jazz band before his gig with Nintendo and you hear it in most of his pieces. You also find a lot of classic ragtime parts in them too- same reason why the Cuphead team have some pieces that sound a lot like some SMW tunes despite having never heard the OST before- same sources of influence and same style being replicated.
