this legit made me tear up at how good it all is, wow

ACTUAL GRANT KIRKHOPE SHOWING UP FOR THE BANJO KAZOOIE BIT IS GOATED

20:36 that transition from Steve to Sephiroth was CLEAN

Seeing the Minecraft village burned down by Sethiroth gave me fear LMAO What an amazing performance from EVERYBODY! Love this so much, really awesome work :D

It was an honor to be a part of this massive collab, thank you Noteblock for this incredible experience!!

Transition from Steve to Sephiroth is hilariously perfect. The village burned down by the king of evil

5 months after the release of this medley and I still can't get over the transition from Steve to Sephiroth. It's just too good

The Seth Rogen appearance got me 😂

NOW THIS, IS THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER ✨

20:22 I love how it goes from such passionate and intense pieces to just steve

I feel like Sakurai really needs to see this to understand what a true legend he is.

man this is so ambitious and cool, everyone did a great job!

The ending made me emotional :,)

The transition at 14:45 from Robin to Shulk is PHENOMENAL

Everyone was Great on this! But damn this part 10:43 feels like I got a shot of Adrenaline and I love it!

Mad props to NoteBlock for putting this all together, and congrats to all of the musicians on an epic arrangement! I was both surprised and honored to be asked to take part in such a massive collab. Thanks again for the opportunity!! =D

That rendition of Lifelight at the end gave me chills. What an amazing tribute to an amazing game 🙏

BROOOOOOO THAT TRANSITION TO MELEE'S THEME AT 22:36 WAS *CLEAN* Love this medley, made me tear up a few times, so epic!

The cut from Steve to Sephiroth was brilliant

20:36 That transition is amazing, the just the thought of Sephiroth setting a Minecraft village on fire...

Hell yeah this turned out so good

I've only been able to comment now as i've been going through personal hell and nearly died. This remix compilation fills me with happiness and it has been an amazing opportunity to participate in this! I'm very proud of the community and what we have been able to achieve together💎 All the best to everyone💙

Damn, that transition at 22:44 to the Melee theme was AMAZING

So well done! Shout out to Music on the DLo and DS Music; I loved the Ridley riff. Artsy Omni and GlitchxCity too?! So many of my friends are here!! What a phenomenal collab!!!

Thank you so much for inviting me, I'd love to be part of s big project like this again!!!

I hope Masahiro Sakurai himself sees this one day, so he knows how just much his work has inspired and touched so many people.

8:05 that transition from brawl to meta knight was awesome!

Possibly the best part was how they shifted to the next song! Like after Minecraft Steve's song (which was astounding btw) the village was burnt down and then Sephiroth's song played. It made it just the cherry on top of this whole collaboration. I really hope Sakurai sees this! Such talented people ❤

This is so epic!! So many iconic remixers and musicians

There's something brilliant about bringing so many music creators together to collaborate in celebration of a franchise that has bringing characters from all corners of the video game world together.

god, 19:56 hits SO HARD with the amazing vocals and jazzy remix, really pulled on my heartstrings with that one.

INSANE!! such a good job!! Loved seeing Grant Kirkhope there 💕

Wow! Incredible!

The transition from Lifelight into the melee intro and back into lifelight made me tear up, i wasnt expecting it and it was gorgeous!!

Even after a year since this came out and all the years before it, the lifelight collaboration is still one of the best pieces of music I’ve seen on KZfaq PERIOD.

AHHHHHHHH THIS CAME OUT SO GOOD!!!!

This entire medley does such a great job at celebrating what Smash Ultimate was always meant to be, a celebration of gaming as a whole; every single person involved in this masterpiece did an AMAZING job! (Still can't believe you got Grant Kirkhope and Pascal) Ending this off with Lifelight was a very good decision, the realization of how far Smash has gotten started to hit VERY hard during it, this medley's Lifelight rendition is also absolutely incredible (shoutouts to the Mii Plaza arrangement at 13:51 for both sounding great and including Megalovania, the Sans Costume and its reveal are still some of the funniest parts of Ultimate)

16:27 I sobbed at Corrin’s theme. It was beautiful

If it isn't too much of a *dizzying* endeavor, the amazing Yoshi remix at 1:40 deserves to be its own full piece.

Super grateful to have gotten to be a part of this 🙏❤️ Everyone did a phenomenal job!!

Can’t believe you got Grant himself for Banjo’s part! Also, the Melee callback in Lifelight was very clever.

The fact collabs like this ever even come to be is insane. I keep coming back to this cuz the way all these artists managed to work together and create such a perfectly flowing medley is incredible.

I love this, and it helps me imagine different interpretations Mario - on-brand simplicity given Italian herbs and spices DK - Primal Power Pushing forward Link - the village kid just started his quest PS Samus - triumphant space music Dark Samus - antihero vibes Yoshi - happy raptors having a great time dancing in the mountains Kirby - primitive, childlike innocence, but still capable of unseen doom Fox - flying out for a mission Pikachu - Red is like 22 and takes his pikachu with him to go do adulthood with his friends and it's cool Luigi - overshadowed, yet with beautiful Italiano Overtones Ness - probably just some comfy kid doing normal wacky stuff Falcon - drifting like he's jealous of eurobeat Jigglypuff - surprisingly intense! Peach - fancy without going too ancient Daisy - outgoing, extroverted, and bouncy! Bowser - less of a rageful piece, but maybe he's just the big tough Koopa overlord who likes smoking his opponents literally and yeeting hammers Ice Climber - A chill yet on-your-toes mix, like you might be climbing an icy mountain. Sheik - Really gives off a sharp and daring vibe, adding to the mystery that-- Zelda - she's completely trustworthy, and wants you to be ok. Dr. Mario - bouncy, but still feels like an actual doctor's office tune Pichu - a lot like the pikachu, but feels more energetic and wild. Falco - a different take on the same duties Marth - combat-ready warrior Lucina - similar, yet more elegant in performance Young Link - feels like happy 90s rock, which he'd probably listen to Ganondorf - ominous. Mewtwo - given the anger of this artifice, it really shows here, as does his sheer output. Roy - feels like a rather intense struggle above fatal drop distance Chrom - feels like a little more happy of a quest G&W - simple, but also sneakily overlooked Meta Knight - edgy attacker being mysterious! Pit - feels somewhat biblical! Dark Pit - feels like a mustsche twirl of an adversary! ZSS - a lot more dangerous of a mission with a lot of baggage. Kinda like actually! Wario - absolutely gamer music by game dev who smells like garlic, remixed by best Scissorheaded Musician. Snake - feels like the intro to a crime drama about a spy. Kinda as if that's somewhat the idea Ike - feels much more like he trained in seclusion Pokémon Trainer - Red finally stepped to the gym scene Diddy - a little monkey just doing his best, and he's comfy. Lucas - feels super capitalistic and like a cash grab, which kinda fits the things thay happened to his world! I like it Sonic - a chill hedgehog, who can still outpace anyone, but doesn't always feel like he has to Dedede - an angry penguin who wanted his order 5 minutes ago!! Olimar - enjoys gardening too much to care, and it's rather cute and funny Lucario - Dawn is stuck on the elevator with her lucario and a latte. ROB - "The machines rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire, and they wanted to play." Toon Link - so joyous and energetic it feels almost exaggerated like a cartoon Wolf - Vengeance on the mind. Why? I don't know. Villager - a comfy, jazzy home, and he's ready to take out the trash Mega Man - a synthetic kid about to throw down with his plasma-powered hands for justice almost like a movie score Wii Fit Trainer - it feels almost like it's a workout routine that they made into the song. Rosalina - free feeling. able to jet across the universe is fun, I'd bet!! Little Mac - a boxer coming back to train, knowing he's got a score to settle and this could be it. Greninja - a trainer enters the big time gyms Mii - feels like a festive celebration! Palutena - feels like she's upset or worried about something Pac-Man - the holy yellow orb descended from the gods to get lunch Robin - feels like he's about to defeat a new threat Shulk - he's REALLY feeling it. Bowser Jr. - the perfect chaotic kid energy Duck Hunt - nice metal for hunting by Ryu - he seems sad or reluctant about something, perhaps it's Ken - zipping in to fight! Cloud - this feels like how I'd imagine Advent Children Cloud feels walking into PS1 Midgar Corrin - feels like a bittersweet prayer before battle Bayonetta - funky as funk Inklings - i think if a splation pizza party Ridley - Ridley, with a beanie, coffee, glasses, and yet still gonna zap ya Simon Belmont - He knows who doesn't belong in this world. Richter Belmont - He doesn't like when souls are stolen, and maken slaves. K Rool - evolved from pirates to contraband sellers Isabelle - a cute secretary who has had enough of her day job Incineroar - tropical torching tackles Plant - sounds like a real funky flower that I'd be down with anytime Joker - you may never see it coming, this jazz is no joke. Hero - feels truly like a heroic tale of old Banjo n Kazooie - a jolly ol' time with Dad on kazoo apparently! Terry - A real pounding of muscle that reminds me of Guts Man Byleth - anime tropes at this point, eh? Min Min - well yeah. Steve - builds a real foundation, literally Sephiroth - doing a planetary worldender a service Mythra n Pyra - pretty lighthearted romp around for two neat companions Kazuya - ANGER. He's gonna take the Hashima name with him to the grave. Waluigi*, who feels like a Disney character. nice Lifelight - POWERFUL. This was really the ultimate tribute, wasn't it?

The visual transition from Minecraft to One-Winged Angel is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, oh my god I cannot say enough good things about this, holy dang this is incredible Lots of great artists I recognize and a lot that I'm glad to learn about, wonderful music choices, and absolutely bonkers production values and transitions This is 20+ minutes of pure FUN

22:24 most people admire the singing, but i admire the sheer amount of amiibos.

OMG you literally walked around as Dr. Mario xD I wonder how the reactions were. The Bowser Jr. Segment with the PLUHIES has me dead.

#23-24 Ganondorf into Mewtwo, insane synergy there, transitioned so well. I wish there was an entire victory road song of its own like this!

Dude this is INSANELY IMPRESSIVE!

THANK YOU for the opportunity! Lifelight is such a banger 😭 AND THE WHOLE THING MIXED TOGETHER IS SO AWESOME!!!

10:08 - 11:09 flows so well

The last bit, with the AMAZING Lifelight arrangement and everyone saying "Super Smash Brothers" at the end, gave me chills! Great work to everyone who worked so hard on this! The entire medley is so cool!

Dude, even GRANT KIRKHOPE HIMSELF is here! This truly is the ultimate crossover!

When it said "Thank You, Satoru Iwata" it felt like a punch in the gut.

Literal chills from that Lifelight rendition

seeing Grant kirkhope himself join in on a kazoo for banjo Kazooie tho

Loved seeing what the community is capable of, such a diverse amount of instrumentation and arrangement styles. Super awesome!

That collaboration of voices yelling "SUPER SMAAAAAASH BROS" at the end might just be the greatest thing I've seen all year.

Ok the whole thing was phenomenal but that ending where they all intoned "SUPER... SNAAAAAASH BROTHERSSSSSSSS" absolutely gave me chills. Excellent.

Happy 3 years Smash Ultimate! This game introduced me to A LOT of people and I'm glad I followed along on this ULTIMATE Journey!

This medley and the sheer talent of all the musicians involved is "too big for Smash"

I'm absolutely honored to have been part of this! I can't even imagine how much work this has been for you to put all of it together!! This is a fantastic homage to such an important series!

This is my first time seeing this, and I’m gonna say this: THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MEDLEYS I HAVE EVER SEEN/HEARD IN MY LIFE. The amount of effort and passion that went into this is just incredible beyond words, and everyone absolutely did a fantastic job contributing to this epic project. Not to mention the transitions are absolutely clean as hell, and the transition between Steve and Sephiroth has got to be my favorite. I have nothing much to say, this is just epic. Too epic for words! Masterpiece!!!

22:37 Dang you didn't have to make me tear up at this part 😢

That was phenomenal! AMAZING job to everyone involved ^^ and that finale was so amazingly arranged oh man

The transition from Steve to Sephiroth was godlike, this whole medley was a masterpiece

I like how it transitions from Steve’s theme with something peaceful to Sephiroth’s theme to something horror like

when that little melee part came in during the lifelight cover, i won’t lie i got emotional

Incredible!!!!

Ok, that "3 years" joke with pit was GENIUS! As was having Scruffy do the Pikmin part, he deserved that more than anyone else.

I love how Ridleys, the most brutal out of all of them, is one of the calmest ones, but this was amazing it even gave me shivers !

Why are these transitions so clean 😩👌

Nostalgia trip at it’s finest! Amazing job to all the musicians 💪💪💪❤️

20:57 Ok that transition was cool.

I think it took me more time to write down each contributor to add to my subscription list than to listen to this awesome collab. I look forward to explore each and every one of these musicians.

This medley is amazing, I listen to it on replay=

Absolutely epic. Thank you everyone for this.

I actually got some of the strongest goosebumps during the Lifelight portion and especially at the end there. All I can say is… Wow.

The Ultimate tribute to the Ultimate Video Game Crossover! I loved it!

Was such an honor to be a part of this incredible project. You and everyone featured should be proud. Everyone is here!

The Banjo-Kazzoie part with Grant Kirkhope was amazing. I'm crying. 😢

The transitions, the remix beats, it’s all just so good. You and your fellow musicians did fantastically

I went into this *knowing* someone would sing Lost in Thoughts All Alone, *knowing* that it will be stuck in my head for weeks after hearing one fucking verse of it, and I *still* loved it

Holy crap, this is amazing!! Everyone did an awesome job!

What a journey!

im a little late to the party, but this was a great conclusion to the series everyone knows and loves. thank you, smash bros. keeping people happy for 20 years and more.

16:18 i dont know about u, but let the battles begin, it suprisingly fitting for this fight animation. Well done!

Just noticed something World of Light is where you have to rescue everyone else from Galeem (Light) and Dharkron (Darkness). The true ending is where you need to balance the two. Isn't that the plot of Kingdom Hearts?

I thought nothing could make this better, then I saw Grant Kirkhope playing a Kazoo.

Loved the dedication and love they put in the video in general, but specially in Lucas'/Mother3's section at 10:30

That epic Lifelight Finale. I M P E C C A B L E It's basically the same as the Mario medley but its Smash and has 20 more additional people jumping into the train.

This was seriously SUCH an honor to be a part of, I cannot believe how many people are in this! You guys did a FANTASTIC job coordinating a medley to this scale and caliber, you deserve all the kudos!!

"The perfect crossover doesn't exi-" NoteBlock: *Observe.*

I loved this medley, and the fact that Grant Kirkhope was in it is amazing

I actually fricking cried while watching this! It is sooooo good and super nostalgic. Absolutely love it

This feels like, not only a love letter to the Smash Community, but a nice send off to Sakurai and his team for all of their hard work. Amazing work from everyone involved!

The tonal shift from Minmin to Steve and then to Sephiroth is hilarious XD

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THAT AWESOME PEACH TO DAISY TRANSITION
